On Stage

Beschreibung

Even those around for the decade may find it hard to believe that Loggins & Messina were an excellent live act throughout the '70s. Some might argue they were superior to Crosby, Stills & Nash onstage in their ability to leap between introspective singer/songwriter and rock & roll modes. (Lest we forget, Messina was a Buffalo Springfield alumnus who'd agreed to produce the lesser-known Loggins's debut LP). Which is why On Stage--featuring a crack band, the hits from "House at Pooh Corner" to "Your Mama Don't Dance," and extended versions of all the other faves--was not only the duo's highest charting album, but, along with the Sittin' In debut, their best effort. --Bill Holdship
