KENNY LOGGINS - “Danger Zone” | Exclusive Acoustic Performance (Live at The Church Studio, 2021)

The first-ever acoustic performance of the Top Gun hit “Danger Zone” by the great Kenny Loggins! "Danger Zone" was composed by Giorgio Moroder, lyrics by Tom Whitlock, and recorded and released by American singer-songwriter Kenny Loggins in 1986 for the Top Gun soundtrack, published by Columbia Records, and later also used in the sequel, Top Gun: Maverick.

This performance occurred to a small and highly-engaged 100-person audience at the Historic The Church Studio in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Kenny went out on a limb and played a barely-rehearsed acoustic version of “Danger Zone” that was inspired by the TV show, “Archer.” Watch this exclusive interview to see more about his creative process in the concert:    • LEGENDS | Kenny Loggins Exclusive Int...  
The audience enjoyed a wonderful setlist of some of his biggest hits including “The Real Thing,” “I’m Alright," and a beautiful version of "Celebrate Me Home," featuring Grady Nichols on the saxophone. This exclusive acoustic performance is part of The Church Studio Legacy Concert Series.

From Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Loggins and Messina, Kenny Loggins launched to an exceptional solo career that brought “Meet Me Half Way,” “This Is It,” “I’m Alright,” “Forever,” “Whenever I Call You Friend, “Danny’s Song,” and so many more! Kenny has also been crowned, “King of the Movie Soundtrack” with his hits in Academy Award-nominated movie soundtrack successes such as A Star is Born, Caddyshack, Footloose, and Top Gun. His extraordinary 4-decade career has brought joy to millions of people worldwide. It was an honor hosting him in Tulsa, Oklahoma at the historic The Church Studio for the Legacy Concert Series.

“DANGER ZONE” LYRICS:
Revvin' up your engine
Listen to her howlin' roar
Metal under tension
Beggin' you to touch and go

Highway to the Danger Zone
Ride into the Danger Zone

Headin' into twilight
Spreadin' out her wings tonight
She got you jumpin' off the deck
Shovin' into overdrive

Highway to the Danger Zone
I'll take you right into the Danger Zone

You'll never say hello to you
Until you get it on the red line overload
You'll never know what you can do
Until you get it up as high as you can go

Out along the edges
Always where I burn to be
The further on the edge
The hotter the intensity

Highway to the Danger Zone
Gonna take it right into the Danger Zone
Highway to the Danger Zone
Ride into the Danger Zone
