Notes by Rob Buran:
Kenny Loggins returned to Plattsburgh after his split with Jim Messina. It was billed as a "co-bill" with Dave Mason. Dave opened the show. I asked Dave if he'd be willing to talk with me and he told me he was really ill. I remember looking at his face when he said that and thought there was a slight green tint to it. In attendance were me, Tom Mott, Fred Little, Neil Jacobsen, Charlie Koch and his girlfriend Carol, Jed Turner, Kathy Rock and a few others.
Track 1. Kenny Loggins. November 2, 1977 / PSUC Fieldhouse. Kathy Rock of WQCR in Burlington, VT asks if the songs on the newly released Celebrate Me Home solo album represent the real Kenny Loggins. Tom Mott had gone to get Kenny something to drink, and while answering Kathy's question, interrupts himself to make a comment about Plattsburgh. It turned out to be apple cider.
Track 2. Kenny Loggins. November 2, 1977 / PSUC Fieldhouse. Kenny explains how Loggins & Messina got together, and explains why he sings the Jim Messina song "Peace of Mind."
Track 3. Kenny Loggins. November 2, 1977 / PSUC Fieldhouse. Kenny addresses a comment made by Jed Turner of WEAV/WGFB about the Loggins & Messina single "I Believe in Love" getting crossover from Top-40 to Progressive stations. Kenny explains the new single is "Celebrate Me Home." He explains the crowd reaction the first time they used it in a show. Kenny tells me "You'll have to get your scissors out" and Fred Little adds, "We're not open-air yet" because WPLT at the time was closed-circuit AM and cable FM radio station, and not yet technically open-air. The idea being we didn't need to worry about the Kenny's expletive because of the ambiguity over whether or not we were bound by broadcast obscenity laws since we weren't really broadcasting open-air.
