Jim and Dave. Dave is Kenny's second cousin, but they look AND sound so much alike!

[@gailmork53]

My hubby passed last July. Browsing tonight and discovered logins & Messina, we had every album, and he sang all songs with his beautiful voice. I’m missing him tonight listening to this music which was part of our 45 year history together 😢

[@scottcrum3881]

Thank you Loggins and Messina for all the fantastic music over the years.!!!

[@maddogmccoy3203]

It was a sad day in 1976 when I saw Loggins and Messina do their farewell show at the Santa Barbara County Bowl.......But I was fortunate enough to be in the Bowl again , for this...their Reunion Tour Show......They even sold copies of the DVD that same night , on the way out the gate.....L&M....way to go!

[@usmc-veteran73-77]

Lucky you. Ive been a fan since the 70s. Love to return to the 70s and live it again. I'd even repeat my 4 yrs in the United States Marine Corps 73-77, just to live the 70s. Stay safe my friend and greetings from Charleston, West Virginia.

[@stop_and_smell_the_roses]

What an incredible duet. Such a beautiful timeless song.

[@johnhardesty3167]

[@dannymoore1530]

What a song! Loggins & Messina nailed it!

[@FMHammyJ]

One of those duos whose voices complemented each other so well.

[@Yogamama1960]

Wonderful!! Kenny and Jim still sound great together. Beautiful song.

[@markstanley7292]

Same, if not better than when I saw them in June of 1972!!!

[@swissbanjoman]

“Listening, learning and Yearning “, wow! I live beside a beautiful river and this song plays through my mind every time I walk beside it. The multi levels of instruments and tones that layer this song along with the woven harmonies of their great voices thrills me every time I hear it. I wish it could go on and on …

[@susancoffey9632]

My favorite Loggins and Messina song!

[@rinalore]

I would have no problem, living in a van, down by the River, that runs. This is one of my many favourites by this great duo! 🇨🇦✌🏼🎶🎸❤️

[@ginocandia5770]

😊😊I'm very pleased to know I'm not the only one that loves the song but when last did you play it.

[@justsomeguy820]

Love this. Just want to mention that dude is the first spike mohawked mandolin player in the history of rock and roll. Thanks.

[@tompelham7035]

The mandolin, a wonderful touch to L&M,s wooden music

[@susancoffey9632]

I love this so much! The glances between Kenny and Jim are so sweet. The flutes at the end are the perfect ending.

[@frandanco6289]

After all these decades/years, you two still make such beautiful music together, thank you!!!! Thanks to all those good people behind you that also killed their parts so perfectly !!! God Bless you ALL ! Fran Danco

[@SafferPOV]

I'm so glad that Kenny and Jimmy got together again. Just loved Loggins & Messina in the 70s

[@bettymclean2590]

Bravo!! Memories are still running down my cheeks💔

[@mom2adragon677]

This song, along with Bad Company’s Seagull, was played at the beginning of my wedding in 1979. It still gives me a thrill to hear it all these years later.

[@jimwickware8794]

WOW, what a great 2 song set.....Seagull is SO underrated.

[@catherinescarvey5695]

WoW I searched for this Song because I love it and the Singers but had no idea they could still perform like this and sound even better than ever. I wish I could see them live!

[@kathrynmolesa1641]

So many great songs by these two. Exquisite music.

[@francisgarganera8418]

I'm rediscovering loggins and messina. I love them.

[@carolynhidy3324]

I used to sing this over and over and over when I was a teenager. Wow, I still love it.

[@shyldaodell6442]

This song and their rendition makes my song soar. It makes me remember a time when I was far more open to possibilities. I pray that this feeling overtakes me again. Nothing does this for me like music. Thank you L and M..

[@heidimessina8668]

messina

[@graydon479]

Kenny and Jim wrote this song and I like every version they sing.

[@amyak1474]

This is the first Loggins and Messina song I ever heard. I was 12 ! A 50 year love affair! God bless💕💕

[@DH-xm3hc]

A great song 😊 they were so great together broke my heart when they quit playing together 😥 any time they sing together is fantastic ❤

[@usmc-veteran73-77]

I agree. Love to return to the 70s and be a teenager again. I turned 15 yrs old back in 1970. A great time to be a teenager.

[@johnsinko5361]

Best acoustic and vocal duo

[@Davidtibi4353]

Been a fan since discovering On Stage their first live album, saw them live a dozen times, two fabulous musicians and a super talented band. Jim Messina is one of the best arrangers I’ve ever known

[@mmavable]

My most favorite song of Loggins & Messina! Always love it!🤗

[@suemanison4902]

The River runs, as life. In 1986 my husband gave me a tape of these songs. I was married, he didn't care, he loved me for 31 years with all his heart, and all your songs. Thank you for a lifetime memory that goes on and on. Sue

[@craighickman5809]

This was the last song that I sang to her a day and a half before she passed away in 2007. It's taken 10 years before I could smile again at this song. My best to you. We had 27 years together and 2 great kids. Craig

[@suemanison4902]

My best to you as well.

[@peggybosse6896]

This song takes me back to a beautiful time in my life. Such sweetness.

[@user-sc2uo5jz9h]

Reminds me so much of my joyful youth. Song brings a tear to my eye. Thanks L&M.

[@REFDallas]

I was there! I will never forget that night. Amazing

[@alward5678]

TALENT FROM HEAVEN

[@journey46]

many thanks to the incredible talent and egos of buffalo springfield. jim messina, recognized kenny loggins' talent, invested his own street cred, taught him the music business and took them both to stardom. if only it were that simple or painless. for while the ego allows each of us individuality, time teaches a better way. a way of reconciliation, humility and peace. evident here. run river run.

[@susanclamp1867]

This song gives me solace after my Husbands passing. It has always been a favorite. Thank you

[@Mikel4055]

Thanks guys! This is a go to song when I think about my oldest son who has left fold and lives abroad and works for the UN. He is now sharing his adventures with me.

[@marywatkins6798]

Gorgeous. Just beautiful. I loved these guys then and this rendition is brilliant.

[@RonParish]

It's been a long time since last hearing this song. These two men have excellent voices.

[@pamelahorad6369]

yes,sir

[@gregorye.tyrone9145]

Mom, God rest her soul loved this song and these guys :-)

[@kurtsonnenburg9502]

I would have loved to have been there... Stationed at Ft. Wainwright I got to see Firefall, a close second. It's the music and its connectivity. I really miss being in Alaska.

[@NPR47]

GENTS , and folks who helped, just a great time warp to what was once with real music !! Boys , Thanks !! We will never be there again EVER !!!! Led Z was 5 fold !!!

[@dennisbriskin3113]

My daughter tells me they used this song, without knowing its origins, as a closing song for several days at the 2014 Oregon Shakespeare Summer Seminar for High School Juniors. (Professional-level training in all aspects of theater for the most highly motivated students.)

[@claudec2588]

How long did these guys have to rehearse to get this good. Before they decide on this comeback tour it is my understanding that they hadn't played together in years. Amazing. Gives me chills.

[@sassylrhg]

NEVER do I ever get tired of listening to Loggins & Messina. They bring such great memories of an awesome time in my life of candlemaking in Coconut Grove in the 70s& 80s.

[@kombuchababy6542]

Beautiful memories. Gorgeous harmony.

[@jerrymuzak4534]

Masters of melody.

[@clicks59]

Amazing talent throughout the entire band. Real musicians playing real music.

[@1952FMS]

what a wonderful time to grow up ty L& M for being there love

[@blondwiththewind]

Wonderful job, guys! I've loved this song since the seventies...and now my grand-kids do too!! I live in an area that has rivers and forested beauty all around me....and a huge mountain range with a great (internationally known) hiking trail nearby as well...so this song has special meaning for me because of that. I've loved this song (and sung it) since I bought the album in high school. In college...I got the "On Stage" album, and it became one of my top 5 favorite albums (on vinyl and CD) EVER!!! Got to see you "live" in college as well (New England). So happy to find this LIVE version with you folks. Gotta say: Kenny's still a hottie!!! xD

[@blondwiththewind]

blondwiththewind Like, Favorite, Playlisting ..... ~~RED ☮♡♫

[@Smilinsharon]

My favorite song of Loggins & Messsina!!!

[@Struwelpeter62]

This was the first song I played and sang to my girlfriend while on a picnic near our local river. I also sang it to her as we got married right up by the altar in front of a church full of relatives. Talk about nervous. Sadly, she divorced me a year later....seems she found one with a better tune. Great song though, but I can't sing it without thinking back to those two days I sang it for someone I thought would be still "watching the river run" with me.

[@DawnESlike]

This makes me sad. So sorry!

[@robotkarel]

!Animo! y deja el río correr

[@blondwiththewind]

You've no idea how close your story is to mine. Still one of my favorite songs of all time, though....especially meaningful for times that you might find yourself alone and discouraged. Shake off that association for this song...and claim it as yours AGAIN!! I DID!!! :-)

[@myhawaiiactivities]

Me too... Danny's Song was there too... I still enjoy hearing it! As long as your heart/mind is in the right place, it's good... Those type songs have been around for a long time... If, things were perfect... We would have not had all these great songs! If you think about it... WE, are probably better off for the "shit", we went through. Personally... I'd rather have the music!

[@oneitalia2312]

Struwelpeter62 hope you now found someone who appreciates your loving heart and generous soul. Happiness to you and God bless you ♡

[@toddholter53]

I saw them in Mpls. in the 70's. So good to see them again here now!!

[@secondthought2320]

Amazing beautiful. Memories.

[@lonewave1]

Always enjoyed Loggins & Messina and got to see them live at the SIUE outdoor concerts back in the 70's. Sound just as good as did back then!

[@firewaterbydesign]

*Still my FAVORITE L&M song!!! They just do NOT make music like this anymore!!! Imho........Sigh.....* 😊

[@burnthatguitar]

Possibly the most beautiful song ever written.

[@j40bob1]

Jimmy played the mandolin on the original recording. Adds so much to the song.

[@markwilkins4616]

This is probably my favorite live clip from any concert I've seen on KZbin. These guys ( & band) are so tight! Always loved Loggins and Messina! Wish they would do more shows together 🙂

[@jodiecurlind5358]

[@ArtFernandez1]

Great Talent. I ushered for Loggins and messina in Portland long time ago.

[@rodking6819]

If you are talking about Portland, Oregon you probably showed me to my seat. Still remember them being great shows.

[@halbie71]

I saw them in concert in 1976 before they broke up & for years I was hoping they would get back together again. In 2005 they did reunite & I wasted no time buying tickets & then seeing them at the Greek Theatre in L.A., California. They opened up with this song,

[@cheriesaxton5309]

Amazing songs you want to sing along to.

[@jamescarroll6954]

This is a keeper. The flute and mandolin on the outro are perfect.

[@FernandoGomez-hh9jm]

[@angiethundercloud1663]

[@masaoji9259]

I like this arrange most.

[@johnholmes4960]

The memories we have, by the choices we make while we are in THIS life, is the only thing we take with us when it’s over. This vehicle or body will wear out, it has a time limit, each different by how you treat it. As we get closer to the end, our vulnerability is greater. So, make as many good memories as you can. Those memories will be your heaven or your hell forever. And THAT, is a very long time. We will never meet up again when it’s over. Our memories of each other will be our only contact. It all boils down to one word. CHOICES..what ever memory we have will be created by the choices we made while in this life. Life is too short as it is. Now, go in peace, my child and prosper. 🖖

[@wadestogsdill3877]

These guys are the best nothing like adding great mandolin to make it even beter

[@caloy1858]

reminiscing before the year end. thanks
