@@KarenLadd we keep losing the greats of my childhood. I feel lucky and blessed to have grown up with them. Joe Bonsall the tenor for the Oak Ridge Boys just passed as well, such a sad week for real music lovers
Yes, came here after learning just now he had passed away. Learned from his obituary in the Miami Herald that he wrote the theme song "Augusta" for the Masters Golf Tournament. Never knew that. It's a beautiful instrumental.
It's too bad his lover didn't want to come to Boston, Denver, or Los Angeles, but she apparently was okay with Augusta, Georgia. Must have been a huge golf fan. RIP to a great songwriter.
Here is my Dave Loggins story: sometime around 1979-ish I was in my early teens and learning guitar. My folks went to a shopping mall near Richmond, VA around Christmas time one year to get gifts. As they were walking through the mall a guy was playing for tips in front of the Radio Shack store. They stopped and listened and my dad struck up a conversation with him. The guy offered to sell them a recording of his songs and they bought it from him for $10 and gave it to me for Christmas. It was a generic store-bought Maxell brand cassette tape with the song names hand written on the back. I must've listened to that thing a thousand times until one night it was so worn thin that it broke, as cassettes had a tendency to do. I cried. Years later on the radio one day I heard "Please Come to Boston" and I said "I know that song!". Around that time there was this new thing called The Internet and I was able to find the artist's name, which I had never known. Fast forward another five years and mp3 files and Napster were things, and I was able to slowly, over the course of a several years, piece together most of the songs off that tape, which turned out to be a mix of songs from "Apprentice" and "Country Suite". I had a really hard time finding "Movin' to the Country" and I remember celebrating the minute it finally finished downloading. Now of course it's all on Spotify and I've since bought most of the albums, but finding all those songs on Napster back in the day was like recapturing a piece of my childhood. Dave if you ever happen to stumble on this, thank you for the many, many hours of enjoyment you gave me for that $10 my parents spent.
Very interesting story, but why would Dave Loggins be busking in front of Radio Shack 5 years after Please Come to Boston was released? Just sounds odd?
Yes many of us have lived this song to a degree, I was the lady roaming the countryside with a man back home wishing I would come home. Back then home was where you were at the time!
Yes. Dave Loggins is from just across the mountain from my hometown. This is an example of Appalachian soul....similar to Bruce Hornsby and John Denver.....The Great Smoky Mountains..."forever."
I met a Girl in Denver one night at a Bar ! I was there on Business from Boston ! And we had a long distance relationship that ultimately did not work out , God Bless You Denise A. I think of you when I here this song ! Really Great Memories ! Life is a Blessing ! Brian ! 🙏
One of the most beautiful songs ever written, for those who had the guts to stay single. I'm an old piece of shit, but this song still brings a big tear to my crying eyes evertime. This album is one of many treasures and this song is one of the best songs of all time.
Oh yes our generation had ours so amazing and even now still relevant but this generation just want to have it their way and some even sees us as old fashioned 😂.Hope your good and everything going great with you ?
Love this tune! Never appreciated it in 1974, but I think today, 50 years later, it's very unique and well written! And Kenny Chesney did an awesome job on it too.
Heard this on the radio yesterday, had not heard it in years, but i loved it so much had to come back and listen again. How I long for the days of my youth!
I absolutely love this song and it really hits home with me 💞 Music has changed so much over the years and nothing comes close to the music back then 😊✌️
A great song from a good, ole' boy from Mountain City, Tennessee who later moved to Bristol, Virginia and attended Virginia High School. A Bearcat who did well. This is from the brother of another Bearcat, Randall Banks, VHS Class of 1972. Go Cats!
I first heard this song in 1974 while I was driving to New England with my new girlfriend, who became my wife, we had children, divorced, went our own ways, came back around again years later and got remarried...then got divorced again...life has been empty since then...this song still haunts me and I remember that first trip with her and this song all those years ago
Im cring now having a glass of wine at home alone,,,having dinner..over this song. Just remembering ALL my ex boyfirends , not ex husbands.LOL Some of them were nice but we were not mature and selfish. Listening this to recollect and missing people in the past with tears of my eys... Darn good memory song...I will cry more....
Lol it's been 7 years after you post. Do you still cry listen to this song ? I guess yes cos good music never dies. Hope your doing great and everything fine with you?
Of course, Loggins greatest song is cherished every spring from Augusta, GA, the Masters Theme is a wonderful tribute to the greatest golfers to have ever played the game.
One of my all time fav tunes and one of my all time fav songwriters. I bought everything he ever recorded, and it's so great to still here his newer compositions done by contemporary artists. Apprentice in a Musical Workshop, the album with this song on it, is just great start to finish, and if you haven't heard it, get Country Suite, Dave's next recording, which is truly a masterpiece.
I watched him in 1975 at an outdoor concert. I wasn't paying attention, watching the concert and he came out and sat down by me on the ground while we watched Ike and Tina Turner then Flash Cadillac and the Continental Kids play. Cool guy easy to talk to and very humble.
I was 17 when this song was on the radio. It was always a favorite. I made anyone in my car be quiet anytime it come on. I’m 62 now and it still moves me. In 2014, in an interview Mr. Loggins said, “Some forty years later, I still vividly remember that night [of composition], and it was as if someone else was writing the song."
I agree completely! That's the only good thats come from this virus, rediscovering realy good music and how important it is in my life. its the only thing I have these to bring me back from a really dark place.
You all sound like a bunch of romantics, I say with a tear in my eye. God I love this song. They call the shit they listen to now a days, music. Naw it aint. The beats are stolen and they screw up the lyrics. SMH. Oh good lord, I sound like my Mother. LOL
This is one of those songs that when you hear it it takes you right back to a certain day in time, and where you were at the time in this journey we call life. RIP David thanks for your songs
Today, unless she wants to be arrested by the Boston cops, she'll first need to purchase an expensive permit to sell her paintings on the sidewalk. The cost of that permit will eat up any profit she ever hoped to enjoy. As for him, the only cafe he'll find a job at is the Dunkin Donuts Drive-thru for minimum wage. He'll be so broke he'll have to hitch hike if he ever wants to see Denver.
Ironically, Loggins is probably a LIBERAL, who supports the communist govt that SEEKS PERMITS and HATES FREEDOM... ITS the TRUE CONSERVATIVES that LOVE the FREEDOM to sell your paintings outside your cafe and not have to get permits
I met some travelers from Boston and I started singing this song under my breath at work. It’s that great of a song that I can remember the 1st time I heard it as a child in the early 70s. Hard to find new music as good as this classic
+Jane Bowen Nope...it sure doesn't...I remember when this came out..I was 14 years old...in military school ... I used to go sit in the Pizza Inn where this young pretty waitress worked I was madly in love with....She didn't know I existed...lol....but I'd sit there and admire her and play this song over and over....young love....that's true love you know...lol
I couldn't post my comment which was kind of long but not too long because of the fact that it's switched to another video quickly after the song ended. I was paying tribute to Dave Loggins. Rest in peace. Was making a note this performance was from the midnight special and that they're currently running episodes from 1974 where this performance came from
Please come to Boston for the Springtime I'm stayin' here with some friends and they've got lots of room You can sell your paintings on the sidewalk By a café where I hope to be workin' soon Please come to Boston She said "No - would you come home to me?" And she said, "Hey ramblin' boy now won't cha settle down?" "Boston ain't your kinda town" "There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me" "I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee" Please come to Denver with the snowfall We'll move up into the mountains so far that we can't be found And throw "I love you" echoes down the canyon And then lie awake at night till they come back around Please come to Denver She said "No - boy, would you come home to me?" And she said, "Hey ramblin' boy why don't cha settle down?" "Denver ain't your kinda town" "There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me" "'Cause I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee" Now this drifter's world goes 'round and 'round And I doubt that it's ever gonna stop But of all the dreams I've lost or found And all that I ain't got I still need to lean to Somebody I can sing to Please come to LA to live forever California life alone is just too hard to build I live in a house that looks out over the ocean And there's some stars that fell from the sky Livin' up on the hill Please come to LA She just said "No - boy, won't you come home to me?" And she said, "Hey ramblin' boy why don't cha settle down?" "LA can't be your kinda town" "There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me" "No, no, I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee" "I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee"
saw him in Birmingham 1974. small setting and he was on ahead of Dolly Parton. most of the audience did not want to hear him but the price was worth it to just hear him. said but most had never heard of him.
The lyrics to this pretty, heartfelt song are truly a work of art ... 'and throw I LOVE YOU echos down the canyon, and then lie awake at night until they come back around' -- truly magic to create those lyrics. ... 'some stars that fell from the sky livin' up on the hills' Just poetry and melodies combined that creates a one of a kind song. Simple, yet deep. One of my all time favorites. Creative genius imho.
I agree with you All,......some stars fell from the sky, and livin' up on the hill......one of the best lines ever written, the imagery presented in this song takes us all on a journey. I have Loved this song from the first time I heard it.
+Dale Swistun My high school girlfriend and I were at the end of our three year "day in the sun". I wanted to go play guitar and sing, she wanted a husband and kids and a home. She's now a retired nurse, she found her man. Me, I go play my guitar every weekend.
Dale Swistun Your comment is so poignant and full of truth. This man gave his life to music and write this song from the loneliness on the road. He left us a song for the ages and if that is all he ever did, it was still a great thing.
@@VitalityMassage In hindsight, he wasn't so bad. Back then, you could make a decent living, put money in the bank, and actually earn interest on it without having to invest in a volatile market. There were no hedge funds. Corporations existed to turn profits and pay raises to employees, not to satisfy investors at the quarterly earnings meetings. Oh, and all those Iranian hostages? They came back alive. Thanks, Jimmy. In hindsight, of course, he might have been our last sane President.
I miss this music so much. Music that actually was heartfelt and meant something. There are some good bands now, but not nearly enough. All of these songs from the seventies that I grew up with still bring back so many happy memories of spending time with my family, camping, or just taking long drives to visit relatives.
Early 70s, some of the most beautiful and best ever country-rock ballads ever. Thank you so much for bringing this music genre to us, John Fogerty & CCR, Eagles, Poco, Byrds, Crosby, Still, Nash & Neil Young.
Great song but I first heard this song in the fall of 1974. I was a small town country boy with a close knit family....but now I was 300 miles away from home knowing no one...and this great song brings back those memories of being homesick and knowing my life was never going to be the same again. No more kid stuff. My how time flies.
This is another one of those songs that gives me an awesome unexplainable feeling of like, uh, sadness, longing and like a feeling of lonely freedom, I'm such a spaz.
All of us here today July 11, 2024, for the same reason.
Beautiful song. Beautiful voice. RIP.

RIP Dave Loggins. Thank you for the beauty of 1974 and a 14-year-old girl who found friends and happiness in music.
I was 18 in 74. Loved this song. I remember those days so well.
I was 13 in 1974, loved it then and now
When I get to Heaven I hope that it's 1974 again.

They don’t make songs this beautiful and classy anymore! Never get tired of hearing it.
Oh yes our generation had ours so amazing and even now still relevant but this generation just want to have it their way and some even sees us as old fashioned 😂.Hope your good and everything going great with you ?
Not so fast. Check out all of Edwin McCain's work. He is the best lyricist this side of James Taylor. He is/was a throwback!
Love this tune! Never appreciated it in 1974, but I think today, 50 years later, it's very unique and well written! And Kenny Chesney did an awesome job on it too.
The 70's gave us sooo many great songs !
I can only agree one time on the clicker !
It was the golden era
My first GF's favorite song. She would sing along in the car as we'd swing by the A&W. She died last year.
Life is short.
Im so sorry 😢
A great song and songwriter who recently passed away. A Shady Valley/Johnson County, TN guy.
Still gives me goosebumps. Dave loggins, Beautiful
Still brings me chills and some tears, as well as many wonderful memories to savor. Thank You, David Loggins !!
74 was a great year for music especially this song. RIP

Please come to Boston for the Springtime
I'm stayin' here with some friends and they've got lots of room
You can sell your paintings on the sidewalk
By a café where I hope to be workin' soon
Please come to Boston
She said "No - would you come home to me?"
And she said, "Hey ramblin' boy now won't cha settle down?"
"Boston ain't your kinda town"
"There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me"
"I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee"
Please come to Denver with the snowfall
We'll move up into the mountains so far that we can't be found
And throw "I love you" echoes down the canyon
And then lie awake at night till they come back around
Please come to Denver
She said "No - boy, would you come home to me?"
And she said, "Hey ramblin' boy why don't cha settle down?"
"Denver ain't your kinda town"
"There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me"
"'Cause I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee"
Now this drifter's world goes 'round and 'round
And I doubt that it's ever gonna stop
But of all the dreams I've lost or found
And all that I ain't got
I still need to lean to
Somebody I can sing to
Please come to LA to live forever
California life alone is just too hard to build
I live in a house that looks out over the ocean
And there's some stars that fell from the sky
Livin' up on the hill
Please come to LA
She just said "No - boy, won't you come home to me?"
And she said, "Hey ramblin' boy why don't cha settle down?"
"LA can't be your kinda town"
"There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me"
"No, no, I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee"
"I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee"

+Dale Swistun My high school girlfriend and I were at the end of our three year "day in the sun". I wanted to go play guitar and sing, she wanted a husband and kids and a home. She's now a retired nurse, she found her man. Me, I go play my guitar every weekend.
This is true. It is one of my favorite songs of all time.
Dale Swistun Your comment is so poignant and full of truth. This man gave his life to music and write this song from the loneliness on the road. He left us a song for the ages and if that is all he ever did, it was still a great thing.
One of the most beautiful songs ever. Its perfect.
Come back, Seventies! I'm sorry for all the mean things I said about you!
Yea and bring back Jimmy Carter as president!
Vitality Massage , ugh!
Right? We didn't like it then but now? Oh, 70s, how I yearn for you!
@@VitalityMassage In hindsight, he wasn't so bad. Back then, you could make a decent living, put money in the bank, and actually earn interest on it without having to invest in a volatile market. There were no hedge funds. Corporations existed to turn profits and pay raises to employees, not to satisfy investors at the quarterly earnings meetings. Oh, and all those Iranian hostages? They came back alive. Thanks, Jimmy. In hindsight, of course, he might have been our last sane President.
I know right...The music today just plainly sucks... Even Melanie with her Roller skates is better than 90% of the crap out there... Much love :-)
Great song endures time TIP
I am in 2024 , five years late!!
I miss this music so much. Music that actually was heartfelt and meant something. There are some good bands now, but not nearly enough. All of these songs from the seventies that I grew up with still bring back so many happy memories of spending time with my family, camping, or just taking long drives to visit relatives.
I totally agree. These song do the same for me, evoking so many memories as a kid and teenager.
My favs
I get the same feeling when I hear some old songs from the 60's-70's text me back to those good old days when life for me was much simpler
yea i was a child of the 80s great music in that decade as well
I agree with you wholeheartedly 💯 💯💯
Early 70s, some of the most beautiful and best ever country-rock ballads ever. Thank you so much for bringing this music genre to us, John Fogerty & CCR, Eagles, Poco, Byrds, Crosby, Still, Nash & Neil Young.
Dave Loggins, just pure talent. Thank God for music like this!
This song touches my heart every time I hear it. It makes my eyes leak. Some songs are just THAT good!!
Yes you're right. A good song is like a delicious meal. Hope your doing great and everything fine with you?
Great song but I first heard this song in the fall of 1974. I was a small town country boy with a close knit family....but now I was 300 miles away from home knowing no one...and this great song brings back those memories of being homesick and knowing my life was never going to be the same again. No more kid stuff. My how time flies.
My favorite musical decade of my life!!
This is one of my all time favorite songs
Haunting and a part of some many of our lives
Who is Listening To This With Me in 2019 ?
This song only gets better.
Hell yeah - I'm from Europe but I still can kinda relate to that song!
me I love this song
Me...such a beautiful song from the good ol' days...
It's the 5th day of Jan, 2020. I just rediscovered this old gem. I'm a performer and I am going to add it to my repertoire! Gorgeous!
This is another one of those songs that gives me an awesome unexplainable feeling of like, uh, sadness, longing and like a feeling of lonely freedom, I'm such a spaz.
Luna Nutts, that pretty much is what this song does for me (perfectly described) see you're not the only spaz out there :)
Luna Nutts make me bawl everytime i hear this song and that's been going on for decades!...
That feeling has a name Luna Nutts. It's called "Saudade".
One of the best words ever.
The song gives me the same feeling....
Love the dual tempo.
great song, takes me back in time
need to get a ❤ button for these awesome oldies
One of the very best songs to come out of this era. What a voice!!
I have been waiting for someone to post this. Thank you.
