The blending of angelic voices and unstoppable talents. One less on Earth, now, when we need him the most. Nothing in the 2000s can top the music my decades had. A real songsmith and incredible musician whose lyrics helped me through bad times. Just Thankyou. RIP Mr. Souther.
@@seattlebeard To think it was written for Joni Michell. I hope she forgives him for being just one or two yrs and a couple of changes behind him - in his lessons of loves pain and heartache school - Young man of poetry in motion that he was. I will remember him in my heart being a couple of changes and one or two yrs behind him - as his music came out I was going through what he was singing about. Blew me away and made me realize how just one human can effect and be effected by another - to change and grow a whole generation of hearts. Peace to all heartfelt people growing love.
feb 1974 hitchhiked with my girlfriend and little sister in a blizzard from Syracuse to Cortland to attend a show that was just freakin incredible...linda Ronstadt opened for Jackson and this was shortly after late for the sky was released...they opened the doors early due to the cold and that little college gym became a cozy living room filled with the most moving and emotional music.....the band had david lindley and doug haywood and was just so spot on and thrilling...so glad to hear this clip and be reminded of those so much earlier and innocent times and how great music endures and remains relevant to our lives.....
I grew up in So California and worked at Anaheim Stadium. Saw every group for free who played the stadium which included JB. I never tire of JB, Linda Ronstadt, Eagles, Rod Stewart. The list is long. Great time to be a teenager.
Jackson Browne- channelling songs from a place noone can see or understand.. He is a religion if you dont have one, a revival when you need one, a redemption for all who suffer or need to release what they hold tightest.. Listen, learn, love - one of a kind soul.
I really woke up yesterday when J.D. Souther was singing You ‘re Only Lonely! Wow!❤ Best solo ever. 🎉 He didn’t lose his lose his God given talent here. 😊
Dear God. I am so grateful to testify that my very first concert was Jackson’s Running on Empty Tour at Boutwell Auditorium in 1977. Waddy ❤️. This song is like a baptist hymn. My true love is JD. Linda took me there with Faithless Love. Never looked back. Don’t forget the best ones!
So many artists (Browne, Don Henley, James Taylor to name a few) pay tribute to Souther's contribution to their own success. Truly an amazing talent who's all about the music instead self-promotion. His 'You're Only Lonely' will haunt you! Thank you J.D.!
Yep. Buddy Miller is so in the groove. Question, who is the drummer? Tim Lauer on piano, McCrary Sisters backup, and Ry Cooder. I think this was 2014 at the Ryman. What a Gem. RIP, sweet harmony JD.
Ah yes the incomparably talented Buddy Miller. What an ensemble here in Ryman. So pained by the passing of JD. Good Lord, what a generation. Tim Lauer's piano, the McCrary Sisters, Ry Cooder. Thank you for whoever posted this Gem. Does anyone know the drummer’s name?
+ Robert Bartlett Yes indeed my man. You talk about under appreciated. This is a prime example. He has helped write so many important songs ( which I will list if I have too) and has added perfect harmony to so many songs . He is the unspoken hero of Southern California music.
The Eagles history cd shows quite a bit of Jackson and I guess he was just one of that crowd. Eagles, Jackson Browne, Linda Rhonsteadt high on mushrooms up in the CA high desert, wow! What a trip!
Souther was Glenn Frey's roommate when they lived upstairs from Jackson Brown in the early 70s, pre-Eagles. Glenn and JD first heard Take it Easy in its unfinished form through the floor from Jackson's basement apartment. Glenn pestered Jackson so much about using that song that he let Frey finish the last "flatbed ford" verse. I've heard that it was Randy Meisner that opposed Souther being an early member of the Eagles. Not sure about that, though.
@@intassage Souther was real good at community college things and from four of his albums I have are acoustic shows of a few of those colleges. I'm sure he doesn't HAVE to do that anymore and MY "Old Hippie" days have pretty much left me with Pure Prairie League in their "Bustin' Out" days. Hmmm? So you are a doctor. I am an old VN vet Corpsman. Now I am a wore out paramedic! (G)
I think he looks sick here, like he has a fever, but he doesn’t want to disappoint. I believe I read somewhere that he actually was ill for this performance, and J.D. knew it. Maybe I’m wrong.
I would play this song while driving Alone in Sarasota.Fla. . i was there to viist my Mom in the Nursing home, my husband remained in New York. I was gad to be free, yet I well knew "that hollow sound of my own steps in flight" Or I was pulling out of the driveway, fleeing relentless damaging rant of words, abuse. While alone and Safe, Fountain of Sorrow, had me in tears as I KNEW the 'Truth'. I had to say it's over, admit to myself that the spontaneous barrage o lies was wasting my Life. Ti was years waiting for our daughter' college graduaton. After 33 years, Jackson's words , told me what U had to DO!
@@paulrollings5291 when you promise forever, meaning it, and then your perfect lover changes his/her mind. In the end, you learn to keep compassion in sight for the love that is gone and for yourself... and life moves on, you with it.
Seeing this warms my heart Because these guys are not getting younger and they are musical heroes of mine and millions of others and it is just so nice to see and hear them together one more time.
Such raw sentiments, such healing, joyful music. Does this man comprehend how much he has given to us all? Bless your heart Jackson and thank you, thank you.
"Fountain of Sorrow, fountain of light, you've heard that hollow sound, of your own steps in flight..." Pure classic gold from Mr. Jackson Browne, whose music I have loved for 46 years. Rock on, Jackson!!
I have been listening to JD Souther since the Black Rose.lp.when I found out about the HOT DAMN Brothers, I looked everywhere for Albums that may be out there. I had books old musics books with their Composition. Those were stolen.
@@kathleenhendrickson5036 Sorry to hear that. What albums/cds are you looking for? I have 4 or five. Two are acoustic concerts. Community college kind of stuff. TYhis song always made me cry. My ex-wife had a suicide kind of problem and I kept from doing that. The mistake I made was I mixed help with love and two kids got born. I haven't seen her in 40 years I guess. She's still kicking. (G) Love the song. Wish I could write like that. I'm always missing the Souther, Browne, Eagles, and Linda Rohnstadt time in the LA/Hollywood area. I guess it was a long-haired old hippie kind of thing
These artists, especially Jackson, were probably old souls and now their external selves are just catching up. Music and the emotions that fuel us are eternal. Just bought and listened to J.D.'s "Home by Dawn." Enjoyed it tremendously, especially the two tracks with Linda Ronstadt. Heard her harmonizing in my head as I watched this.
I think my wife had every Jackson Browne album ever made. We saw him live in Eugene Oregon a few years ago. It was Amazing. Thanks Mr. Browne for your dedication to the Music and to your Fans. You are in a CLASS of your own.
In my top 5 greatest songs ever written...who can use the word 'perfect' 3 times in a row and not wear it out? Bonnie Raitt, "Turn down the lights. turn down the bed, turn down these voices...inside my head.." They don't make them like these anymore...
I totally agree. The first line of the song is the best ever written Looking through some photographs I found inside a drawer I was taken by a photograph of you. I really wish I had written that. I play the Bonnie Raitt song for my classes and then ask them to analyze it. I myself have always thought that the message was that the act of loving is in and of itself its own reward.
It’s okay to be wrong. It’s not hard to look up and see it was RC, not DL. From NPR, for example: “Joined by longtime friend and collaborator J.D. Souther on harmony vocals, Browne showed that he hasn't lost a step in the decades since "Fountain Of Sorrow" was released. On this night, though, the epic recounting of a love lost is given bright new life with help from Tim Lauer's lilting piano, the McCrary Sisters' soaring voices and Ry Cooder's steely slide.”
I’m listening and wondering if I would have gotten through some rough times without this music. One thing rings true for me and it’s that this music more than likely saved this listener life. Sweet solace. Peace to you Jackson Browne.
Jackson Browne.....your voice is still from another world......too good to be from this one....you made me cry then and now seeing you live I still cry......you are amazing
No Doubt a tearjerker of a song, pulls on the heartstrings of past Love. I discovered this song long after I was introduced to JB when Running On Empty was released.
You could be laughing at me, you've got the right, but you keep on smiling so clear and so bright. This song will go down in history as one of the greatest ever written.. loved you for many many years, JACKSON BROWNE!
@@julierood1228 Do you know how Ry began playing the guitar? If you don’t , it’s on Wikipedia or I would love retelling the story as It is one of the most heart rendering stories in music.
Good on ya Mr Browne.. great song ... keep these classics alive forever please.. because so much music today is disposable. Your songs from The Pretender, Running on Empty, Late For the Sky, Hold Out,, are some of the most sensitive and organics songs ever. They hold up beautifully because they are honest, and lyrically universal and philosophical. Of course you had great players along to help shape it.. bringing in shades or rock, country, folk, blues, gospel and classical. Your gifts are appreciated.
And Saturate Before Using! The man wrote the songs of my youth, made me fall in love with love songs at 14. DC, I did not lie. The truth can be easily seen in pictures of H & M ❤
He had the most beautiful voice, but he often didn't let it out, for some reason. Linda Ronstadt once said he was her favorite vocalist(and songwriter)...I guess she'd know. I saw him perform the summer after he finally had a big hit on the radio(Only Lonely)...and he sounded really good during that concert...his voice so clear and true.
Love, Love, Love Jackson Browne! Both his voice and JD Souther’s voice are still as melodious as ever! God Bless you both for sharing your talents with the world all these many years! We humbly thank you!
Hello 🌺 Thanks for your love and support, for liking and commenting on my page and I want you to know I have all my fans in heart and that includes you. Jacksonbrowne98@gmail.com
oh the days...glory days My first concert at 16 at Freeborn Hall at UC Davis was to see him, now I'm 65 and if I have my way one day I'll see him again, and make it my last concert. Started with him, let it end with him.
Yes, JD Souther is a class act and more. Many of us know he was a close friend of Glen Frey and Don Henley and helped them write many of their Eagles songs. When Glen asked JD to join The Eagles he politely declined saying they did not need another singing guitar player. Yes he very underrated but definitely a legend.
GEEZ, Peter Berger--(or should I say Petter Berger?) You rave about the Eagles as if you know them personally, but TWICE you misspell Glenn Frey's name in your post!!! It's spelled, G-L-E-N-N-, not G-L-E-N!!! Why should we care about your opinion when you are so unaware of the most basic facts of whom you speak? I'm sorry to blast you on this, but it is too blatant to let slide under the circumstances! Better luck next time. Tony =^,,^=
January 1975, I bought LATE FOR THE SKY and it stayed on my turntable until early summer. One side, the other side, every day. Best album ever. It proved to be a map of life and emotions and experiences that were ahead of me.
First time I see JD Suther here. I know him so well from Eagles. 2 gigs only, I will never forget. And take it easy. Only so can I survive in these crazy world. Thanks for Jackson Browne.
This is may be my favorite JB song ever. And because it is one of the best songs ever written, lyric-wise, here it is in its entirety. Looking through some photographs I found inside a drawer I was taken by a photograph of you There were one or two I know that you would have liked a little more But they didn't show your spirit quite as true You were turning 'round to see who was behind you And I took your childish laughter by surprise And at the moment that my camera happened to find you There was just a trace of sorrow in your eyes Now, the things that I remember seem so distant and so small Though it hasn't really been that long a time What I was seeing wasn't what was happening at all Although for a while our path did seem to climb When you see through love's illusions, there lies the danger And your perfect lover just looks like a perfect fool So you go running off in search of a perfect stranger While the loneliness seems to spring from your life Like a fountain from a pool Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight You've had to hide sometimes, but now you're all right And it's good to see your smiling face tonight Now, for you and me it may not be that hard to reach our dreams But that magic feeling never seems to last And all the future's there for anyone to change, still you know it seems It would be easier sometimes to change the past I'm just one or two years and a couple of changes behind you In my lessons at love's pain and heartache school Where if you feel too free and you need something to remind you There's this loneliness springing up from your life Like a fountain from a pool Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight You've had to hide sometimes, but now you're all right And it's good to see your smiling face tonight Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight You've had to struggle, you've had to fight To keep understanding and compassion in sight You could be laughing at me, you've got the right But you go on smiling so clear and so bright
This album came out when I knew my relationship was coming to an end. This song had great significance, I thought it explained exactly where I was at that time of my life. Although no regrets.
Thanks Jackson. I first heard you at The Paradox in Tustin in 196?. Next at the Love In at Irvine Park, 1968, and at many concerts over the years.Thanks again for your music. It is a part of my life's soundtrack.
Hello 🌺 Thanks for your love and support, for liking and commenting on my page and I want you to know I have all my fans in heart and that includes you. Jacksonbrowne98@gmail.com🎸
Two really great talents of the 70's rock, country rock era, still going strong. Jackson had a great show in Red Rocks in August 2015, I was there, truly a highlight, JD a great back home gig in 2016, nice performance.
I Have seen Jackson three times! I LOVE all his Tunes! But this one is my very most Favorite! I have been listening to it for 50 years! It's guided me through many a Storm!
I hope that this great piece is getting some extra views as people look for the work of JD Souther upon the news of his passing. He is joined here by Buddy Miller, Ry Cooder, and Don Was (on bass) who somehow seems to have a hand in the best music of the past 3 decades at some level, all in support of Jackson Browne.

Thank you of all the wonderful music...Rest in Heavenly song JD Souther😢
Such a sad day.
The blending of angelic voices and unstoppable talents. One less on Earth, now, when we need him the most. Nothing in the 2000s can top the music my decades had.
A real songsmith and incredible musician whose lyrics helped me through bad times.
Just Thankyou. RIP Mr. Souther.
RIP JD Souther fantastic writer and compatriot of the Eagles
"compatriot???"
Absolutely brilliant. I've been a fan of Jackson, JD and Ry for about 50 freaking years.
That's all?
Damn. I forgot how this song makes me cry. Every. single. time. 😢
The whole album!
One of the most beautiful yet sad songs ever written
Goosebumps

I think JD is great , as he wrote half the songs on Eagles best LP Desperado
Yes,a great song by J.D. back in the day I used to play it a lot on the jukebox,Her Town Too with James Taylor is great also 🙂
RIP JD. Black Rose one of my favourite albums of all time.
Two of the most prolific songwriters of our generation on one stage. This is a true treasure.
Love Jackson and JD. Rest in peace JD Souther
Aww we LOVE YOU GUYS!! REST IN PEACE JD SOUTHER🙏🏻💞😘
Holy hell, and Ry Cooder! Great. Just great.
JD is way overlooked.
I followed both JD and Jackson Browne their whole career. I'm proud to say that
Real music
Exactly.
He was a gift-giver. Rarely held his creations too long. So often others benefited from JD’s talent. Passed 9.17.23
Totally agree. JD was way overlooked.
Buddy Miller just happily playing in the background. Brilliant song from a genius artist.
Yep. Buddy Miller is so in the groove. Question, who is the drummer? Tim Lauer on piano, McCrary Sisters backup, and Ry Cooder. I think this was 2014 at the Ryman. What a Gem. RIP, sweet harmony JD.

At 70, my wife says I still get that far - away look in my eyes when I hear JB. Thanx for the memories...
Your wife loves you big time, she’s in tune to you. Fortunate guy !
When you look through love's illusions there lies the danger...
THIS SONG BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES AS I LOOK BACK ON MY LIFE!
Jackson Browne & JD Souther. The wind beneath Eagle wings.
And Poco, who put the air (and two bassists) there.
Jackson glides miles above an Eagle's frozen perch.
you got that right!

J D souther & Jackson Browne such awesome talented guys. ☮️🎶
I just learned that JD has just passed away a few hours ago. LOVE the guy.😥
This song was on my mother's sterio many many years ago. Jackson was my soul mate. She had never heard him before. She commented, that man HAS GOT IT.
I think my wife had every Jackson Browne album ever made. We saw him live in Eugene Oregon a few years ago. It was Amazing. Thanks Mr. Browne for your dedication to the Music and to your Fans. You are in a CLASS of your own.
So clear and so bright ..... that's this gorgeous song and two of the greatest singers on the planet.
❤JD souther is amazing love his voice
In my top 5 greatest songs ever written...who can use the word 'perfect' 3 times in a row and not wear it out? Bonnie Raitt, "Turn down the lights. turn down the bed, turn down these voices...inside my head.." They don't make them like these anymore...
The only other lyricist who competes with JB in my opinion is the late great John Prine. Way under appreciated.
I totally agree. The first line of the song is the best ever written Looking through some photographs I found inside a drawer I was taken by a photograph of you. I really wish I had written that.

I have felt that very same way. It’s like JB’s music helps me cope
No "gimmick" to these guys. Just raw talent. "I'm Lovin' It"
Jackson Browne.....your voice is still from another world......too good to be from this one....you made me cry then and now seeing you live I still cry......you are amazing
No Doubt a tearjerker of a song, pulls on the heartstrings of past Love. I discovered this song long after I was introduced to JB when Running On Empty was released.
Such great songs - great lyrics, great harmonies, great musicianship. I just can't love these guys' music enough.
Just amazing ! Better than the LP version . JD never gets enough credit and Jackson is as clear and strong as ever .
You could be laughing at me, you've got the right, but you keep on smiling so clear and so bright. This song will go down in history as one of the greatest ever written.. loved you for many many years, JACKSON BROWNE!
I adore Jackson! He’s amazing with everyone he performs with!
J D Souther’s voice still makes my heart skip a beat. His album Natural History is a must-have gem.
Thanks for the recommendation! I sampled the songs and then bought the album.
it's an amazing album
Two HUMUNGOUS talents. Two of the sweetest and most recognizable voices in popular music.
Don't forget the great Ry Cooder over to right , in a seated position. Look him up, if you don't know.
@@stargazer6753 Thanks for adding that. Ry Cooder is such a awesome talent. Dream to hear him live in concert ;-)
@@julierood1228 Do you know how Ry began playing the guitar? If you don’t , it’s on Wikipedia or I would love retelling the story as It is one of the most heart rendering stories in music.
Jackson is always stellar. Add JD and Ry Cooder and then it’s great! The piano player killed it too!!
What a wonderfully written song. Jackson Browne is such a wonderfully prolific song writer..that’s for sure!
Good on ya Mr Browne.. great song ... keep these classics alive forever please.. because so much music today is disposable. Your songs from The Pretender, Running on Empty, Late For the Sky, Hold Out,, are some of the most sensitive and organics songs ever. They hold up beautifully because they are honest, and lyrically universal and philosophical. Of course you had great players along to help shape it.. bringing in shades or rock, country, folk, blues, gospel and classical. Your gifts are appreciated.
+Paul Wohlstetter wellsaidPaul iagree with all you said
Absolutely.
Love this! And David Lindsey too
And Saturate Before Using! The man wrote the songs of my youth, made me fall in love with love songs at 14. DC, I did not lie. The truth can be easily seen in pictures of H & M ❤
J.D's harmony is so perfect.
EFFEN JD... too awesome for words
He had the most beautiful voice, but he often didn't let it out, for some reason. Linda Ronstadt once said he was her favorite vocalist(and songwriter)...I guess she'd know. I saw him perform the summer after he finally had a big hit on the radio(Only Lonely)...and he sounded really good during that concert...his voice so clear and true.
They sound great together! I love JD Souther's voice and harmony.
Have always loved his work. So much feelings and those arrangements are unique to him.
Love, Love, Love Jackson Browne! Both his voice and JD Souther’s voice are still as melodious as ever! God Bless you both for sharing your talents with the world all these many years! We humbly thank you!

Total Wow, The pure talent on this stage!
JB & JD so great, & just look at Ry over there being nothin' but cool perfection!
One of my favorite singer song writers...and JD also a great writer and vocalist!
JD 's harmony with anyone is so beautiful. Love them both and this song...makes me cry!!
He is awesome. Takes me back to the 70s. He is one of my heroes.
"I'm just one or two years and a couple of changes behind you." My favorite line from any song. Ever.
+ Charles C 1. Yes indeed, Charles.
Charles C. Absolutely!
I get pretty excited abot music, but, I still feel this is one of the best songs ever written. Thank you Brother Jackson.
oh the days...glory days
My first concert at 16 at Freeborn Hall at UC Davis was to see him, now I'm 65 and if I have my way one day I'll see him again, and make it my last concert. Started with him, let it end with him.
What a beautiful performance of this gorgeous song -- the poetry lyrics are romantic and gut wrenching.
Jackson Browne is a remarkable word smith.
Agreed! I think the lyrics to this song are some of the best ever.
This is excellent. Never seen it before. Two American music greats.
Love, love this song and Jackson Browne 💖💖💖
Yes, JD Souther is a class act and more. Many of us know he was a close friend of Glen Frey and Don Henley and helped them write many of their Eagles songs. When Glen asked JD to join The Eagles he politely declined saying they did not need another singing guitar player. Yes he very underrated but definitely a legend.
GEEZ, Peter Berger--(or should I say Petter Berger?) You rave about the Eagles as if you know them personally, but TWICE you misspell Glenn Frey's name in your post!!! It's spelled, G-L-E-N-N-, not G-L-E-N!!! Why should we care about your opinion when you are so unaware of the most basic facts of whom you speak? I'm sorry to blast you on this, but it is too blatant to let slide under the circumstances! Better luck next time. Tony =^,,^=
@@tonyrogerson2683 You sound like a tool.
Perfect harmonies from JD Souther 🎵🎼🎶 ... thank you Laural Canyon 👍👍👍
January 1975, I bought LATE FOR THE SKY and it stayed on my turntable until early summer. One side, the other side, every day. Best album ever. It proved to be a map of life and emotions and experiences that were ahead of me.
Jackson Browne needs a hug,love the song and harmonies by JD thank you sooooo much for all the music....happy NEW VIBES for the NEW YEAR!!!YEA!!!
Hello Theresa
How are you doing?
It’s nice meeting you here!
I loved John David Souther so much. RIP 💕🙏💕
MISS HIM
Lucky to see JB twice in The Netherlands. Love this guy 😎😎😎👍👍👍
American music’s poet laureate!! Somehow he knows everything that’s in our hearts and souls💪🏻💪🏻 Love you Jackson♥️♥️
First time I see JD Suther here. I know him so well from Eagles. 2 gigs only, I will never forget. And take it easy. Only so can I survive in these crazy world. Thanks for Jackson Browne.
ofenblase check out JD’s music. Amazing. He put a lot of people on the map. One of the best song writers( and singers) ever. 🙏🏻
What a great song, depth, emotion. And done so perfectly.
This is may be my favorite JB song ever. And because it is one of the best songs ever written, lyric-wise, here it is in its entirety.
Looking through some photographs I found inside a drawer
I was taken by a photograph of you
There were one or two I know that you would have liked a little more
But they didn't show your spirit quite as true
You were turning 'round to see who was behind you
And I took your childish laughter by surprise
And at the moment that my camera happened to find you
There was just a trace of sorrow in your eyes
Now, the things that I remember seem so distant and so small
Though it hasn't really been that long a time
What I was seeing wasn't what was happening at all
Although for a while our path did seem to climb
When you see through love's illusions, there lies the danger
And your perfect lover just looks like a perfect fool
So you go running off in search of a perfect stranger
While the loneliness seems to spring from your life
Like a fountain from a pool
Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
You've had to hide sometimes, but now you're all right
And it's good to see your smiling face tonight
Now, for you and me it may not be that hard to reach our dreams
But that magic feeling never seems to last
And all the future's there for anyone to change, still you know it seems
It would be easier sometimes to change the past
I'm just one or two years and a couple of changes behind you
In my lessons at love's pain and heartache school
Where if you feel too free and you need something to remind you
There's this loneliness springing up from your life
Like a fountain from a pool
Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
You've had to hide sometimes, but now you're all right
And it's good to see your smiling face tonight
Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
You've had to struggle, you've had to fight
To keep understanding and compassion in sight
You could be laughing at me, you've got the right
But you go on smiling so clear and so bright
That piano player is awesome too!…fabulous! He plays the piano with such a great deal of emotion!
Such a great performance, great rendition, great version of a great song.
Two of the most amazing and underrated talent’s of
our time....DEDICATED!!
This album came out when I knew my relationship was coming to an end. This song had great significance, I thought it explained exactly where I was at that time of my life. Although no regrets.
Thanks Jackson. I first heard you at The Paradox in Tustin in 196?. Next at the Love In at Irvine Park, 1968, and at many concerts over the years.Thanks again for your music. It is a part of my life's soundtrack.
What a great performance by Jackson and an all-star band!!
Two talented friends , Love you Jackson and Love JD too 😚❤❤

Two great singers,sounds like beautiful music....
Two really great talents of the 70's rock, country rock era, still going strong. Jackson had a great show in Red Rocks in August 2015, I was there, truly a highlight, JD a great back home gig in 2016, nice performance.
1978 or 1979 too, can t quite remember. Late for the sky
I Have seen Jackson three times! I LOVE all his Tunes! But this one is my very most Favorite! I have been listening to it for 50 years! It's guided me through many a Storm!
Love Jackson Browne. I have lots of his records. He is the best.
I hope that this great piece is getting some extra views as people look for the work of JD Souther upon the news of his passing. He is joined here by Buddy Miller, Ry Cooder, and Don Was (on bass) who somehow seems to have a hand in the best music of the past 3 decades at some level, all in support of Jackson Browne.
Agreed. What a Gem. Tim Lauer's piano, McCrary Sisters. Who is the drummer?
Hitched many a ride from LA to The Haight to see him, eagles, great full dead, New Riders, Marshall tucker...
