@@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.
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."
Crazy how a song I heard on the bus going to Dry Creek elementary in California sticks with me for 50 years. Peace to all my brothers and sisters. I love you all..........
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!
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?
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.
well, here it is Nov 2024 and I have just found out that Dave has passed away. I am so sad. I feel like a family member has passed away. His music meant so much to me and forever will.....I don't know how I would have gotten through my teens without the album country suite. I always wanted to write him and tell him what a blessing his music was in my life. I guess it will have to wait until we meet in heaven. His music was so unique. I just loved him....He didn't get the accolades he should have...RIP my musical friend. You were so, so special...
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
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 ?
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.
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!
Before he started singing and writing beautiful songs, he was a draftsman and sold insurance. I think he found his true calling. This song is incredibly beautiful, sad and heart wrenching all at the same time. The 70’s had the most amazing, timeless music.
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 ! 🙏
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.
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.
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.
+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
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
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!
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
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.
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.
I had broken up with my girlfriend toward the end my senior year (class of ‘74). It hadn’t been a great year (things that had nothing to do with her) and I thought some changes were in order. I heard this song and I started crying. I picked up the phone and called her. This song made me realize that my petty issues weren’t worth losing the best thing that had ever happened to me in my young life. I get choked up hearing it now at 68 years old.
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.
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.
Dave Loggins is one of the greatest folk/pop/rock singers of the early 70's. You can tell by the way he sings this that his heart is truly in it. This song has endured even to this day and is still played frequently across Satellite and FM radio. Great song.
Colin Jordan there's this thing called the internet that you happen to be on...pretty easy to look this up and see that in fact Dave did write this song. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Please_Come_to_Boston
This and The Blind Man in the Bleachers (by David Geddes) were my two favorites from little bitty. Because they told an actual story. Chevy Van (Sammy Johns), Cats in the Cradle, etc. Best music ever. I will miss it when I'm gone.
I worked for years in radio broadcasting, and can't count the number of times people requested this song- by either Kenny Loggins or Dave Mason. They were convinced it was by one or the other. When I said it was by Dave Loggins, that was usually followed by "who?". Rest in Peace Dave...
Music is the ultimate time machine, carrying us back to cherished memories. An unrequited love song stirs chills, tears, and warmth, capturing the beauty of melancholy, solitude, and joy. This song’s lyrics beat like a pulse, echoing "I love you" down canyons, lingering through the night. Lines like "some stars that fell from the sky living upon the hills" blend poetry and melody into something rare and unforgettable-a simple, profound masterpiece. Thanks Dave Loggings..
This song helped me so much when I sold everything and moved to Colorado 24 years ago. A string of bad relationships sent me here, and now I have a family of my own. This will always be a special song.
+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.
I was just listening to Garth Brooks' "Every Time That It Rains" which mentions "Please Come To Boston", so I just had to hear it again and found this vid. What would life be like without jewels like that.
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 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
RIP Dave Loggins. My husband was in Jasmine Band from Dallas that opened the show for Loggin's trio that year at McNeese State Univ. in Lake Charles. You were a true talent and sorry that you got in crossfire of Johnnie Matthis during his recording of your song.

LETS BE REAL !! THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN #1 SONG OF THE YEAR 1974 !! ONE OF THE GREATEST YEAR OF MUSIC !!
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.
you are 5 years older than me and the feelings are the same~
I was 14 that year as well and I understand completely how you feel.
Still listening here in Ireland ☘️ 2023. A classic.
RIP to one fine songwriter. This song holds an important place in my heart. Thanks for the music, and the memory.
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.
Rest in peace, Dave. 😢 Thanks for this beautiful song.
AMEN. RIP DAVE.
Another mellow hit from the 70's where the lyrics are clearly understood. Not only is this music, but it's poetry.
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 😢

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!

I was just listening to Garth Brooks' "Every Time That It Rains" which mentions "Please Come To Boston", so I just had to hear it again and found this vid. What would life be like without jewels like that.
Live - from the Midnight Special. 70's was the best!
If there is a Rock and Roll Heaven, they have one hell of a band.😢
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 💯 💯💯
I rememer it so well, words and all. Nobody write songs like that today man!
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
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 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?
50 years and I still like this song
Your performance is so emotionally perfect for this sad song. Well done Chloe
beautiful song, RIP, didn't know this song is written by you.
Beautiful song. A lot of memories with this one. Summer / Fall 1974. I just graduated HS. My god, that’s a lifetime ago. RIP David
One of the greatest songs ever written and sung! After all these years it's still special every time I hear it.
Classic!!
RIP Dave Loggins. My husband was in Jasmine Band from Dallas that opened the show for Loggin's trio that year at McNeese State Univ. in Lake Charles. You were a true talent and sorry that you got in crossfire of Johnnie Matthis during his recording of your song.
