Loggins and Messina – Angry Eyes
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News
One of my favorite songs of all time. I’m guessing this came from a tour they did not long ago. One of the few Oldie reunions where they had lost little through aging. Kenny still hits most high notes and Jim’s voice was never strained to begin with.
I bought the DVD when it was released for $22. I hope they reissue it for you guys because in my search to find the actual name of the DVD (Loggins and Messina Live – Sittin’ in Again at Santa Barbara Bowl) it is now going for $250 used. And no, I won’t sell my copy. It’s THAT good.
Eddie, the Santa Barbara Bowl gig is a gem of a recording. Great musicians, young and old in their prime, doing what they do and having fun. Loggins and Messina are such contradictions, two very different styles that mix perfectly for great music. The whole show is on youtube and is a treat.
