  • Amen! Glad to celebrate all of our heros coming home! THANKS FOR SERVING and God Bless you richly!

  • For the troops coming home from Iraq, welcome home!!

  • Bittersweet memories of Christmastime traveling home to visit what was of my family.

  • USA pray for our president, our country, and each other. One person can make a difference, together we are unstoppable!!!! Merry Christmas to the world. Peace on earth and good will to all of God's creatures! That means you as well!

  • Never gets old! Absolute Classic! Absolutely classic voice and sax! This puts me in the mood every Christmas-God bless us all this season.....

  • A short story: I was at a party once, well a date and the guy played this cd and Celebrate Me Home came on and we had it on replay the rest of the night . Now when i play my own cd yrs later i still get stuck on this song...just beautiful!

  • HE IS AMAZING !!!!! AND I LOVE HIS VOICE !!! IT DOES SOUND KIND AND IF JESUS WERE TO SING HE WOULD SOUND LIKE THIS. I DO AGREE COMPLETELY . HE

  • unbelievable...

  • I love you for making this record kenny loggins . . .You have been such a musical influence in my life. . .I beleive I will get a chance to tell you :+)

  • Soul to Soul. This song has almost as much soul as James Brown. When that happens, you know u got soul. Kenny sounds a little like El Debarge when he scats. I got to give it up. One of my all-time favorites.

  • Beautiful, just beautiful. No words

  • I LOVE THIS SONG WE ALL SHOULD CELEBRATE EVERYDAY MAKE IT A BEAUTIFUL DAY EVERYDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Solo by Saxist Max Russo....

  • Why in the hell is there American idol? Every 1000 years or so we get THIS.. So let's enjoy the fact we got Kenny in our lifetime

  • This song has been with me every Christmas since the 70's when his came out!!! It is timeless! It still makes me cry. Beautiful song! It applies to all of us but especially our boys fighting for us (now and then)!

  • Mark Russo!!!! !!!! !!!!

  • This man has one of the most beautiful & soulful voices I've ever heard. I can play this song over and over and still feel the same sentiment every time I hear it. Thank you Kenny Loggins.

  • i just love this song

  • So I just saw his concert a little bit ago. I'm 18, and love him!!! He is in his 60's and he is still belting out all these songs.

  • I get great vibes from this tune....I just love it!

  • Who is on the sax?

  • @TheSaverino Mark Russo

  • @voggorb Thank you! :)

  • @TheSaverino Former Yellowjackets

  • My favorite Loggins song. His voice is so perfect.

  • Not a bad song, but the alto player has a squeezed wimpy tone, like someone who's never listened to Charlie Parker, Sonny Stitt or Phil Woods. As for the occasional "bend" (portamento), Johnny Hodges ("Jeep," "the Rabbit") could bend two octaves behind Sinatra without moving a single key. Annie Ross (of Lambert, Hendricks & Ross) once did this tune in her cabaret act. Wonder if she recorded it.

  • I love this song. one of my favorites.

  • Love the Xmas spirit.

  • iam along ways from my place call home, yet when I hear this song my heart reaches out headed toward that direction, if i close my eyes Iam there mmmm what memories....

  • Take us all Home ,Celebrate Your People Home YESHUA with your Trumpets this year 2011 and one long Sax riff. Sing us all away on this Divine Appointment and you will see your people singing praises lifting us all up and away HOME to be with YOU FOREVER MORE. Thank You Mr. Loggins 528 mghz to you

  • I would also like to add that if you enjoy THIS performance, you'll DEFINITELY be blown away by his performance of this song on "Outside: From The Redwoods" [1992-93]. The sound quality was amazing, not to mention Kenny was in such great voice there, too. The take/interpretation was a bit different up there than here, but just as amazing. Epic, folks.

    Love his stage presence up here, as well as his outfit and hair. His face is beautiful, too. Xtina only WISHES she was this good, lol. ;D

  • I would love for Christina Aguilera [who pretty much thinks she's the best singer that EVER lived, anyway] to match THIS; this man's vocal gymnastics are AMAZING up here -- he can do those in CIRCLES around Xtina; I'm just beyond impressed by this performance.

    KL is one SEXY Jewish man up here. His voice is beautiful and soulful, too. Incredible vocal range; amazing gift of song. He's quite soft spoken, but w/ a pretty big singing voice.

  • Great song. Awesome sax solo!!!!!!!!

  • Let's not talk about when he sings with Michael Mcdonald two greats that bring tears to my eyes

  • Nailed it! Outstanding vocals. Best performance of a lifetime.

    

  • @nomoonprty Agreed! The whole saxophone and vocal improv. was just spectacular. Kenny gets into everyone of his songs well.

  • Of all the concerts K.L. performed this was his best cast of musicians. My sister met him at a concert a few years back and said he was very friendly and sincere. K.L. tops my favorite three artist...J.Taylor,and Dan Fogelberg.

  • I think Kenny Loggins' voice is very kind and if Jesus were to sing ~ he would sound like this, perhaps.

    Peace,

    V

  • Just love Kenny's voice! A hell of a writer too!

  • phenomenal....really? more like awesome...WOW...I played tenor through HS until girls got the way...tried to pick up alto later on but didn't have the time or desire to start over again...

  • that sax solo is an entire song itself.. I forgot what kenny was singing...

  • @KateBushMyLove thanks for the understanding comment...

  • Mark Russo is a beast!!!

  • @SierraRoad not weird at all... sounds like a great song to be remembered by

  • It may sound weird, but i would like this song played at the end of my funeral.

  • I have never seen Kenny In concert, but I love him so much, I would love to see him sing this song before I leave this earth!! I'll be a very happy woman!!

  • Who is doing the Sax? Is that Al Garth?

  • @TheSaverino nooooooooooooo! is the former Yellowjackets sax player Mark Russo!

    One of the more underrated.

  • JESUS THE COMMANDER OF THE LORD'S ARMY AKA THE ANGEL OF HIS PRESENCE WON JOEL 2:14 AND ISAIAH 63:17- KENNETH TABER IS HIS WITNESS- DO WE KNOW YOU??

  • Update- May11, 2011- The Kingdom of Jesus has won the Joel 2:14 blessing on the earth from the Approved Blueprint from the Bank of Heaven which called for my dad to die so this cursed generation could live forever-then the rest was my testimony working with Jesus- the Isaiah 63 Angel of His Presence and the first of two Revelation 11 witnesses- Daddy- when they messed with us- they have no clue who they were messing with-Please forgive them- they are just kids-thanks Daddy- you are a good Daddy

  • Go Marc Russo- One of the best!!!

  • Everyone should press Sony to release this on Blu Ray.

  • Marc Ruso over all ..believe me dudes!

  • What a beautiful song... Strong spiritual overtones.

  • I just saw Kenny and crew at the Anaheim Grove. Great vocals from Kenny, amazing! Missed the sax player and back up vocals though. I don't know who his plastic surgeon is, but in this case, less is more. Kenny would have aged so beautifully naturally like Willy Nelson. It was strange looking at a mask of a face and hearing Kenny Loggins beautiful voice. Great show of talented musicians!

  • Band audition checklist:

    Feathered, long hair?  Check.

    Scruffy beard? Check.

    Wardrobe entirely of earth-tones? Check.

    Vest with Western flair? Check.

    Played on a yacht before? Check, and Check!

  • I'll tell you what, though I really enjoy this tune...I love me some Mark Russo. The boy has some serious altissimo skills that I always try and emulate myself. I switch back and forth from this video and when he played with the Yellowjackets on Revelation at the North Sea Jazz Fest. Great stuff! Thanks for this post.

  • In Fact, the stars fell from the sky in reverse order as well on July 5th, 2009 they returned..I had a Pastor rushed to have service that evening I drove by knowing this was not it but the reverse order.

  • Wish I knew how to get a song picked up. I think my lyrics are awesome, I just can't think of a jingle ugh. Don't know how some do that!!!

  • Smash- my dad had Revelation 11:7 comes first on Dec.30, 2008 from there some things happened in reverse order so when Smash's actions demanded a Revelation 11:5 response - I would tell God to remember my dad..I told God to remember my dad many times so the wrath of God did not destroy China and did not destroy America or the entire earth..Please celebrate my dad home..by Kenny Loggins is our memorial song

  • anyone out there who lives in cooperstown new york area... kenny will be performing there very soon . baseball hall of fame town. i understand it will be in a small venue restaurant or tavern. today is march 8, 2011. keep an eye out for it. not sure if he has full band or solo.

  • Mark Russo is the sax player. He has also played with Little Feat, the Yellow Jackets,

    and the Doobie Brothers. He is one of the very best sax players out there.

  • @MrFender54 Marc Russo, formerly of the Yellowjackets!

  • Daddy- if I commit suicide- I command to the vengence of God's Wrath to be poured out and all 2 billion of God's enemies and may hell open up at San Bruno, California at the appointed hour

  • I have listened and watched this video at least 25 times in the last month or so. It is, for me, one of the all time best songs ever written and performed by a pop artist. This performance is outstanding. Thank you so very much.

  • ive always liked this song and it was very easy to find too. thank you cetera who i hope his first name isnt peter

  • @coatlecue You never know.....:0)

  • This is one of my all-time favorite songs. When I die, I want to go out with a song and a celebration with all my friends near and far. Just like this one. Please, Celebrate Me Home!!!

  • Amazing! Kenny Loggins is actually matching note for note vocally with the Saxophone! Kenny's vocal skills and talents are just off the charts!!! What an awesome singer, performer & entertainer Kenny Loggins truly is!!! And a great Christmas seasonal song! A tradition on my Christmas playlist each and every year withour fail!

  • Kenny G is a chump compared to this saxophone player.

  • @thestatbook91 - you are the chump you ignorant sumbit

  • @thestatbook91 - you are the chump my friend! you know nothing of kloggins talent

  • @pukme I know a lot about Kenny LOGGINS... I called Kenny G (the highly overrated saxophone player)... Kenny G has nothing on Mark Russo. Read my comment correctly before being a retard... jackass.

  • My dad died 8 weeks before Christmas, and before I heard this years later, I couldn't get int the mood, but I forced myself for the kids and family. This song just jolted me.

    I just lost the whole spirit, but this song cranks me up

  • My family plays and sings this w/guitar and piano every year!

  • AMAZING MARC RUSSO ITALIAN HAND MADE HAHAHAH.................THE BEST

  • Steve George from Mr Mister on keys...! yeah

  • Wow, this is genuine talent on display from both singer and musicians, not like the "talent" manufactured by today's "music".

  • Love this song

  • Now I get to hear it on magic 93 cause it almost Christmas yay way a wonderful holiday Christmas is!!!!!!!! :)

  • this song is awesome! one of my favs since i was like 4 lol

  • Mark russo has an amazing sound. He reminds me of lestor young.

  • @yeshiva83 is that the sax player?

  • As a saxophone player, I probably appreciate this solo more than most of you do, but this sax player is absolutely phenomenal.

    4:48-4:50 -- I didn't even think bends like that were possible.

    This is definitely one of my new favorite live recordings I've ever heard.

  • @quest7b if you know Marc Russo what happens at 4:48 is an usual thing!!!

  • @quest7b

    Yeah, man. I don't even know how to go about getting close to those. I feel like I need a million dollar mouthpeice. Best solo I've heard.

  • @quest7b

    Sax player is Marc Russo ex player for the YellowJackets(Can't wait for his return)Did all the soundtracks for Sims the game.

    Right now he is playing with the Doobie's.

  • @STEAMWORKER i think don't go back after 23 years!!

  • This song is POWERFUL!! The piano player is tearing it up!! Great song!!

  • I LOVE IT!!!!!

  • Beautiful, singer and song

  • this is real music... u know

  • Awesome!!!

  • this song is Wonderfully moving, Kennys voice melts the soul.. i think we can all relate in some way to the articulation.. who doesnt have these feelings stirring during Holiday get togethers? -- Ahhh this takes me back !!

  • @jade4091 This goes to my soul too. Love this song. I recently heard it and made it my newest greatest Christmas song.

  • @jade4091 u speak the truth on that/

It was strange looking at a mask of a face and hearing Kenny Loggins beautiful voice. Great show of talented musicians!

  • Oh My! What a saxophone player!!! Awesome performance! That's what you get when you put great musicians together with a great vocalist. I am utterly awe struck!

  • Absolutely wonderful, Kenny's got the soul and the heart in this song!! so does the Sax man too!

  • i am sick at this song on the drums

  • Love Kenny Loggins voice. Moves mountains!

  • i am a huge saxophone fan and when he really turned it up at 4:30 i was impressed with his great sound and technique

  • I've never had any desire to play sax, but if I played like Mr. Russo there I would quit my day job.

  • This is the finest version of "Celebrate Me Home" that I have heard. This song is among those you don't tune the radio away from. Very nice.

  • Still sounds good!!..Loved it!

  • Love it!!!

  • superbly touching!!!

  • Amazing talent! I love Kenny's music. thank you for posting.

  • looks like Marc Russo (saxophone) "Yellow Jacket".

  • It looks like the younger Mark Russo (saxophone) from the band group "Yellow Jacket".

  • COMPLETELY ahead of its time.

  • WHO IS THIS ALTO PLAYER??????????

  • @chrisweatherstone Marc Russo - great rocker, R&B, and jazz. His work with YellowJackets is legendary

  • Just the best...

  • This is one of the great artist's that made way for other pop & rnb artist that we listen to today. He is like the robin thicke of the past...

  • love it!

  • Once again, amazing. What a sweet voice, what a talent. I miss that kind of music. God bless Kenny.

  • kenny's voice is golden!! I have loved this song for more than ten years!!

  • This guy is the sh*t. I listen to this, as a singer myself, and can't help but feel, no kidding? You're going to set the bar that high. How am I ever going to reach that? And, the answer is, I'm not. It's just an honor to stand in Kenny's shoes and sing some of the songs that he has written. Thank you for everything, my brother. You make living worthwhile.

  • Completely embraces you!!! I miss this incredible talent!

  • Comment removed

  • Kenny Loggins is one of the best voices in music

    Flawless vocals to be sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • this was the year i was born! AND i love the song! good times

  • Yes Marc Russo! Just YES!

  • What are the 2 notes the alto sax plays from 7:31 - 8:00 ?

    (im trying to work on altissimo) xD

  • @masterpoolshot, the notes are concert C and D. I too am trying to develop my altissimo :)

  • What a beautiful song. I love Kenny Loggins.

  • the best ooaaawaahhh oaaahhhh oaaahhh ever!!!!

  • An incredible performance of an incredible song!

  • So beautiful..thank you for sharing this..

  • The love I have for this song and this performance can only be described as pure.

  • this is the first song i ever listen to by kenny and i loved him and the song ever since. i love you kenny you are truly awesome <3

  • Looks like he's tweakin' to me.

  • Fantastic Marc Russo at altosax!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I saw this number performed live at the Valley Forge music center a number of years back. You really can't appreciate Kenny's vocal quality until you hear him live. He is simply spectacular. And yes, the saxophone/harmonica "showdown" that's a regular part of this song (live) is breathtaking -- with Kenny doing his thing right alongside them.

  • Thank you Mr. Loggins.We played this song at my husbands memorial service because he was singing it a week before he passed away .There was not a dry eye in the placeand I will always be grateful about how the song encapsulated our feelings about hisspirit and the loving way he tryed to approach life and celebrate life.

  • The very best part of this video is @ 3:06 when the saxophonist comes in! ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR!

  • The time of year when love floods the world!

  • This is one of my all time favorite songs. Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all from Rapid City, SD

  • Goosebumps...amazing voice..

  • Great nontraditional holiday song.

  • song has nothing to do with Christmas, but it is one of my all time favorites, wants me to be with my family,,god bless and merry Christmas !!

  • great song!!! Merry Christmas to all from Phoenix, AZ!!!

  • I have the VHS of this...awesome. I kept on playing it, I got to check if they have this in Bluray now,

  • Beautiful song! Ya!
