If your watching in 2021, this what music used to sound like !! No fireworks, no smoke filled stage, no filthy lyrics, no naked women doing the trib. Just plain good music. Great music from Detroit !!!!!!!
BIG DITTO! This was/is real music ,which is why people still love it. I have 4 adult sons who all play music. Guess what music they love the best? The best
Just a great song things were so much different then ,it is a shame we had come so far and then lost it all i am and old man now but lets start again thanks Jackson Brown.
went to a bruce springsteen concert at the L A coliseum. during the born in the usa tour and it was a great show,after he did his encore and the lights my girlfriend and i stayed in our seats waiting for the parking lot to clear outsome.well about 45 minutes later POOF the lights went back out and bruce and the E street band came back and said they felt like playing just a little bit longer and we hope you wont mind, My girlfriend and I moved up to 4th row center stage and watched them play for another hour and a half, every time i play this song it reminds me of a generation of kids and musicians who just loved the music GOD BLESS AMERICA
Smart ass. Funny guy. I'm a lot more than my music. I genuinely love people with many interests. Like, I'm sure there us more to you then being a D A. Ha!💓
Did that roadie job back in the late 60’s and 70’s driving the 18 wheeler for several top names in rock! Mr. J B just to name one ! This song is pure truth, and pure soulful release!
Take it from a guitarist of 59 years, with 35 years worth of weekend playing and amp moving ... buy yourself a Teeter inversion table and bring comfort and decompression to your back before you can't walk, like I can't.
@@StJello ... brother bill drank himself to death @58, which is my age now and still , when i am quiet ( happens more now older ) His presence , others too, cannot be denied. It's not many little miracles here and there. Its ALL one big one . Being kind starts with self. You are so welcome. I am here till i aint. Stay safe and healthy new year to you and yours. Al
Timeless! ...They're the first to come and last to leave. Working for that minimum wage. ... Thank you , Jackson Browne for using your music to raise awareness of many important issues faced by ordinary people.
Another way to think about those lyrics is young kids working for a low wage in a job that gets them close to the performers, watch the shows for free and have some fun. This was likely a temporary job for most people. Who makes a career out a being a Roadie? Get real.
This song bring back memory from the late 70's when I was working as a busboy for a minimum wage of $2.25/hour in a restaurant at a truck stop in South Dakota. It was playing on the jukebox. Man, I miss those good old days where America was once a great place to live.
My Whole life... Seems like a song. All My memories of sadness, happiness, triumphs, failures, Learning to play several instruments, performing...(Very Little, except among Friends)… Love, Hate (which I try not to burden Myself with)….. Music I heard at those times... It was ALWAYS THERE. Even when I felt really screwed over by People I Loved... Always There.
Only musicians/singers can really relate to the emotions of this song. We pour our hearts and souls out to the adduce who seems appreciate us less and less as the years roll on. We live to perform
Not true JukeBoxBear. Those of us related to the emotions all too well know what you had to do to perform. This song gives you tribute, and the whole world loves this song because of it. You got your tribute and if you don't see it then you were not among those performers. So suck it up!
Best concert I've ever seen, Jackson Brown and Linda Ronstadt, at San Jose Center for the Performing Arts...1974. At the end both bands came back on stage and just jammed. Nobody left...don't think anyone even sat down. Never forget it!
I first heard Jackson Browne in the fall of 1974 in my first semester in college. He has been my favorite performer, singer/songwriter, and poet ever since. He is a sage and storyteller for our generation and an avenue into the meaning of our existence, losses and wins, and political perspectives. I have nothing but love and well-wishes for this genius, poet and pied-piper of the spirit. We all will be forever grateful...
Went to a Jackson Browne concert in Baton Rouge early 70's. I can still visualize them preforming this song when I hear it. The keyboard guy sat quietly all night until he opened his mouth on this one. The audience exploded.
Jackson and Eric Clapton are the two artist's I grew up with in the seventies, but I never got to see them live. 😢 I pray that they take the Narrow Road, cause I sure would like to see them at Home 🙏 Viva Cristo Rey 💪🙏
I so can relate. I'm even from the D 😊 this has to be one of my faves. Then again. I just have a kindred spirit to everything you've created by yourself a with your many friends. Can't get enough of it all😊 I know the musician you are. I find myself wondering what books do you like to read? 😊🌹I know some of your interests that you've shared over the years. I'm curious about the book reading. Subjects,etc.. 😊🎶
@@michaelbox4394 I love living in the USA. it's just sad we got all these inbred politicans scared of this "government flu" listening to quack doctors on a power trip. Here's a secret We all die of something So Trust JESUS for your salvation and live or trust governments and die lost.
@@jerrykinnin7941 Truly sad. If god exists - and idiots like you are all the proof I need that it's a fiction - he most certainly deserted you long ago. He gave you a brain: fucking well use it! Otherwise you insult him. Here in Australia we listened to the experts, and have had only 104 deaths: how many have you had? Yes, we all die, so go on, lead the way.
When you listen to the words of this song, U can tell, how much he Loves playing to his fans, hell of a musician, Love U Jackson, don't ever stop playing, cause we will never stop listening 💗💙💜❤️💕
I can't hear this without thinking of my Husband. He was an electrical, audio engineer and production and auditorium manager for "Little Nashville Opry," in Nashville, Indiana. But he freelanced with many stars...in many venues, all over the USA. He loved Jackson Brown and this song... Cancer is a horrible thing!
I just love this song been there done that in the 70's... It never gets old I just thank God that I was able to do thank you for posting things like this brings joy to my heart 👍😁
🥀Amazing Song I love it all and I respect Jackson Browne for giving the Rodies a shout out to all the time, effort and obstacles they go through settling up the stage from what I've seen and heard it's a bitch. If it's not done right people can be hurt or killed your talking thousands of pounds just in the trussle's not including lights ect: and the show must go on!! Thanks for posting this song it's priceless and unbelievable I love all of his song's🥀🖤✌☝️
The greatest song from back in the day.... remember it so well while cruising to the cottage in my '66 Coronet with my family all singing as loud as could be..... will never forget those times.
Wow, I agree about the video, absolutely brilliant! Thank you! I recall the 60s, playing drums, going from place to place, not in the same league as Jackson, and always in our own transport, but the message was exactly the same then as it is now. The playing time was what it was all about and was just too darned short! I was always too nervous to go on, but then never enjoyed finishing, we could've played all night back then. Car was always packed up the previous night so we were ready to go, and sometimes we'd travel a fair way but we were never late except when we got home! Great song(s).
At the precise moment this song was being played and recorded, I was standing next to my father, my Best Man, about to be married in the chapel of the Pines Presbyterian Church in Houston, Texas. When the "Running On Empty" album came out in 1978, I found that out by reading the liner notes.
Thanks for this ! Classic live music from Jackson Browne with the inimitable David Lindley (who can expertly play any known stringed instrument) singing falsetto. JB, Lindley and Warren Zevon were collaborators on so much great rock music in the 70s
Jacque Vino Hi Jacque it was outstanding I can die happy now,well a Bod Seger concert would make me very happy or just greedy.Hearing this now i could cry.I have been haunted since by this mans voice.He didnt do this song but i feel like he did.very weird.Maybe in my dreams.Thank you.
Jacque Vino Sat next to a couple from NYC who were seeing Jackson Browne live for the 30th time.They said he sounded better than ever.I get that.I saw Van Morrison for the 50th time and he was as good if not better than the first.
I always loved his songs when I was younger. until My friend brought to my attention he name was Jackson browne. He songs have so much meaning.Amazing voice! Cat
great classic song BUT THE VIDEO!! oh man, it's just perfect!! :) great job!!
Yes!!
Great video....are you a Roadie :)
rigovalenz one of the greatest song writers of all time

So good ur right
Jackson Browne's music is timeless!!! Great video
Love those lyrics, timeless
this has always been my favorite by Jackson Browne. Thanks for sharing

Not only is the video great, but the sound is outstanding! Many thanks for this video, la gil !!!
Just a great song things were so much different then ,it is a shame we had come so far and then lost it all i am and old man now but lets start again thanks Jackson Brown.
Concerts. Remember them?
The pauses in this song are very effective!
Stayは名曲だと思います。
I can't decide which song is better.
I was bartender at grogg shoppe
The best tribute to the “Roady”. A hard, thankless job. Like Mark Knopler’s tribute to the armed services in “Brothers in Arms”.
went to a bruce springsteen concert at the L A coliseum. during the born in the usa tour and it was a great show,after he did his encore and the lights my girlfriend and i stayed in our seats waiting for the parking lot to clear outsome.well about 45 minutes later POOF the lights went back out and bruce and the E street band came back and said they felt like playing just a little bit longer and we hope you wont mind, My girlfriend and I moved up to 4th row center stage and watched them play for another hour and a half, every time i play this song it reminds me of a generation of kids and musicians who just loved the music GOD BLESS AMERICA
Once upon a time there was a thing called music!!!
it is still there ... you just have to find it ...
Smart ass. Funny guy. I'm a lot more than my music. I genuinely love people with many interests. Like, I'm sure there us more to you then being a D A. Ha!💓
Well said My friend
@@Keith_Lard but when you're friends are all asleep or incommunicado, the radio might still work.
Well tickets just sold out in 30 minutes for the show in Tampa. No luck for me. 😢

I hope that his drivers are union..the entire crew works hard
@@kevinbrooks229, back then, probably not. "...working for that minimum wage".

This was my brother's life and he just past away. He loved this song.
It was great having that depth, connection to another let alone a brother... not here, away. Me too. Al
Thank you for kind words.

My condolences
I grew up listening to and loving this. It never will get old for me - almost 52 years and counting :-)
Oh, the memories this brings back!!! Thank you, Jackson Browne!
His music will always be so awesome! Never duplicated! I'm 62 and grew up with him!
Me too! 62 and still loving this song. My all time favorite!!
Is this " Boston Bob " as Mossie Shanley used to call you?
If it is, please contact me back.
If it's not, please excuse me.
yes..i'm 72
Greatest of all time. No question
Timeless! ...They're the first to come and last to leave. Working for that minimum wage. ... Thank you , Jackson Browne for using your music to raise awareness of many important issues faced by ordinary people.
Minimum wage? I'm not thinking about rolling out of bed. Let alone touching a road case for that.

Always There.
You were paid well, maybe? I was on A$49/ fortnight. LP's were A$4.95, almost 2 days wages. They were worth every penny.
Only musicians/singers can really relate to the emotions of this song. We pour our hearts and souls out to the adduce who seems appreciate us less and less as the years roll on. We live to perform
I'm an actor. I understand.
What about the stagehands, riggers, stage managers ect we are a huge contributor to show!
pretty sure the roadies and the rest of the crew know the feeling well
Not true JukeBoxBear. Those of us related to the emotions all too well know what you had to do to perform. This song gives you tribute, and the whole world loves this song because of it. You got your tribute and if you don't see it then you were not among those performers. So suck it up!
Greatness in its purist form
1972. I was a junior in HS. Good times. Love Jackson Browne.
One of THE all time classic song pairings that needs to be in eveyones collection
thank You very much for this exceptionel song of the best of all Jackson Browne...
thank You very much for the vidéo
Best concert I've ever seen, Jackson Brown and Linda Ronstadt, at San Jose Center for the Performing Arts...1974. At the end both bands came back on stage and just jammed. Nobody left...don't think anyone even sat down. Never forget it!
LOVE IT!!
How wonderful for you. I regret I never saw him in concert
Lucky man
Love it, sent to my son who is adopting a dog named roadie, he's too young to know what a roadie was.....I'm old.
I still want you to play! Cheers to the roadies and everyone that make the magic happen.
A truly magnificent song from a time gone by. A time of innocence which will never return.
This song is Always shortened when it's played on the radio or in a jukebox. That's a crying shame! It's pure gold in it's entirety.🥰

We can thank the late David lindley for the slide and "Stay"
I like it so much!
This song brings only good feelings and memories in my head!
Until the other day I had not heard this song in years and years. I forgot what a great song it is. One of my all time favorites, and I almost forgot.
From morocco. We remember this song and Jackson brown in my city Rabat. It s good time 77 year to 87.
Instant classic. Very few songs are introduced cold at a concert...and in that moment, it becomes clear the song will be a classic.
Great that the pics go along with the song (lyrics) Well done!
When they hit that high note Oh won't you stay just a little bit longer sends the chills right up my spine-awesome song and arrangement.
The amazing Mr. Lindley...but the pipes on that chick...EPIC!
Thats rosemary butler
And Craig Doerge's solo on the keyboards!
He's a good old man now.

I wish they'd play a little longer
This song goes right into my heart it makes me so emotional l don't even know how to describe it
It's SPECIAL ...
its cuts to the core of what great .music..really is...the best
I so agree as I sit here with tears running down my cheeks
From “Running on Empty” I also liked “Shaky Town” and “Rosie” from that clàssic concept album., besides the big hits.
Wow 40yrs ago already?
Jackson, Once again you brought a smile to my heart Thanks for being the story teller that left a forever a long long long time ago ❤
Awsome, my youth also, the music so moving
Hello…..thank you for your love❤️and support for me and my career🤓I appreciate your support and warm comments🎲

October '77 - Norman Oklahoma - Still one of the top 3 concerts of my life!
I saw them in concert in LA in 1980. This was by far my favorite song!
This was one of my favourite songs in my early childhood. If you can remember 8 track cassettes, what a time to live.
I Love ❤️ This Song
At the precise moment this song was being played and recorded, I was standing next to my father, my Best Man, about to be married in the chapel of the Pines Presbyterian Church in Houston, Texas. When the "Running On Empty" album came out in 1978, I found that out by reading the liner notes.
So much soul in motion deep expression to the limit, awesome
Thanks for this ! Classic live music from Jackson Browne with the inimitable David Lindley (who can expertly play any known stringed instrument) singing falsetto.
JB, Lindley and Warren Zevon were collaborators on so much great rock music in the 70s
David Lindley!
This was the last song at my wedding..the dreamiest ever...THANKYOU HARD RAIN for the genuine love!!!
Jackson Brown has been my hero for Alll these Years!
Im going to see Mr Jackson Browne in Dublin next week...lifetime dream come true.
Jane McGrath Have a great time!
Jacque Vino Hi Jacque it was outstanding I can die happy now,well a Bod Seger concert would make me very happy or just greedy.Hearing this now i could cry.I have been haunted since by this mans voice.He didnt do this song but i feel like he did.very weird.Maybe in my dreams.Thank you.

This about my younger days my family, my friends in the community, & my classmate in school we are all having fun!
The last 2 tracks from 'Running On Empty' ... still have the vinyl. One to treasure all these years.
Love, Love, Love.....thank you for your awesome music that I cherish all of my life....
This is about my younger days!
With my family, my friends in the community & My classmate in school
We’re all having fun!
Masterpiece never gets old
Just LOVE this song!!!!!! Jackson is the greatest!
The perfect Music to reminiscense those days
I always loved his songs when I was younger. until My friend brought to my attention he name was Jackson browne. He songs have so much meaning.Amazing voice! Cat
Cathy Johnson and to think he was only a teenager when he started writing great songs
Love it.. Love those days.. You had to live in those days to appreciate.
Wrong i myself grew up appreciating that it was music like this that paved the way and influenced the childhoods of so many greats
You’re wrong this music is timeless sir
My college buddy’s favorite artist was Jackson Browne. Mike had a heart attack and passed away about 9 or 10 years ago at 54. RIP brother.
