First time I've seen you not pause one single time! I don't mind the pauses, just happened to notice that though. Thanks Polo

Do yourself a favor :)
Jackson Browne "Running on Empty"(1978)
@@Mudbug2000ABSOLUTELY 💯
Jackson Browne started his career writing songs for other artists such as the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (he was briefly a member in 1966) & the Eagles (Browne co-wrote "Take It Easy"). But in the 70's he started recording his own songs. He had a lot of hits 70's-80's such as "Doctor, My Eyes", "Rock Me On The Water", "Here Come Those Tears Again", "The Pretender", "Running On Empty", "Somebody's Baby", "Tender Is The Night" etc.
My mom had some Nitty Gritty Dirt Band albums, I loved them! This was in the mid 60s…
All great songs
You are so right!
I disagree, Jackson wrote the tunes for himself but allowed others to record them (for the writers' royalties) before he had his own recording contract.
Browne was also a producer of Warren Zevon's "Excitable Boy" album, a rock classic, and credited with cowriting (with Zevon) "Tenderness on the Block."
You didn’t stop it once!! What a testament to the greatness of the song and your appreciation of great music. The 1970s was musically an embarrassment of riches..
If you get a chance, watch the live version!
Agreed. 1970s and late 60's were incredible.
This song deserves NO pauses! So thank you for pointing that out! ❤ it means alot!!!!
Whenever I hear this incredible gem, I'm 14 years old again.....and I can still sing every last word....!!

An anthem for those of us that grew up in the late '70s
Jackson Browne toured a lot during the seventies. There was no internet, email, cell phones, etc. Traveling on a tour bus was long and difficult. Phone calls to loved ones had to wait until the band reached their venue location or hotel. Back then, long distance was very expensive as well. Jackson did several songs about being on the road, but I thinks combo of Load Out and Stay is most popular. Not only did he recognize the audience as being a part in the performance ( "People you got the power over what we do, you can sit there and wait or you can pull us through") but he also recognizes his crew. The men and women that set up the equipment and then tear it down and pack it back up after each venue. He talks about the " motor" or the bus that makes sure he he gets to the next venue on time, without fail. Very few musicians take the time to recognize their moving crew the way he does in this song.
Great reaction.
i was a roadie and stage hand back in the mid seventies. this song has such a special place in my heart.
I think you’d appreciate The Pretender, Jackson Browne’s anthem to the working man. It’s brilliant. His entire catalogue is amazing but The Pretender is incredible. Special.
The Pretender is the equivalent of “The Great American Novel” to me. One of the best songs of all time.😎
"We'll fill in the missing colors
In each other's paint-by-number dreams"
Pure poetry.
Agreed. This is my very least favorite song and album by Browne.
Yes!
R.I.P. David Lindley, (“Mister Dave”) on the Lap Slide, one of the great musicians of this era, and he recorded with all the biggies. That is HIS FALSETTO solo on “Stay” and I just read where NOBODY expected it, probably even Dave! Not sure he ever did it again, and never before this time, according to the story. J.B. is known as a guy always ready to support worthy causes - singing back-up, etc. Ego in-place. Still performing. 🙏🏻
Jackson Brown is one of the best.
Having been one of those "minimum wage" loadout boys in my youth... Thanks for the shout-out, Jackson.
It wasn’t directed to city workers. It was directed to his road crews that setup and break down his concert performance sets and travel from town to town with him on tour.
This song is about the crew that travels with him, and sets up all the amps speakers, instruments in every city while on tour. Sometimes 3 or 4 semi-trucks follow them to each different city for that night's concert. Those guys are called "Roadies", because that's all they do. This is a tribute to those people behind the scenes, that nobody sees, and the hard work they do night after night setting up, and then tearing down everything so artists and Bands can make their music for all of us Live in concert, or at least the way they used to back in the 60s and 70s. Things aren't the same as they were. My generation was so lucky!
Thanks Friend
Jackson Brown, way underrated talent here, his music is beautiful
Still is.
Not underrated. He's one of the best
To this old fart another genius from the heyday of music in general.
@@AnonymousServant513 huh? Both statements can be correct, underrated and one of the best, what am I missing?
@@AnonymousServant513 100%
This song is reminiscent of Bob Seger’s Turn the Page.
Ive lovedJackson Browne, since the 70s 👍
ah, I knew there was something familiar there. His phrasing, his way of singing,..
Love Turn the Page ❤
Touring was rough back then. They didn't fly, they rode around the country in a bus and slept in cheap hotels. Tours would last for months.
When David Lindley comes in on that crying steel guitar it gets me weepy every time. RIP
I love it when he hits that falsetto.
And all of his instruments were basically 2nd hand store/pawn shop finds, that he pretty much never played on anything new.
You ain't bullshitting!!
David Lindley could play anything. And tell some great stories about catfood sandwiches. Go check out his El Rayo X album some time.
David Lindley was the crown Prince of stringed instruments, I saw him with Hani Naser in Santa Cruz after he returned from a trip to Afghanistan. He had hung out with local tribesman and amazed them when he picked up their tribal instruments (rubab) and started playing them. He brought several of the instruments back and played the entire concert on them. Had a hysterical story about eating a lambs ear. Just an amazing musician that spent most of his time in the background of some of the most famous music artists of his time, during the golden age of rock.
What a way to close a concert. It sends everyone out the door with a huge smile, singing, "Oh won't you stay, just a little bit longer..."
The album 'Running on Empty' was recorded on tour. In concert, in motel rooms and even on the bus on the highway. It is a tribute to life on tour. ☮💜🎶
And it's a masterpiece
Yes, and Journey also had a small obscure song about life on tour titled Faithfully.
And to the people who attend, and who make it happen...
Polo, I’m welling up with emotion. Jackson Browne’s storytelling does it for me. Beautiful man. Thanks again. Always enjoy listening with you brother. 🖖🏼
JB is a songwriter's songwriter. He has penned and performed some of the most iconic music in the history of American popular music. Saw him in concert numerous times over the years and he never failed to captivate the audience with epic sets and world class musicians on every instrument. Even on his solo acoustic tour he left the crowd spellbound with his talent, grace and humor. JB is a national treasure.
Agree wholeheartedly. Seeing him is like going to visit an old friend. His poetry fits his music creating memories. This always ends his shows.
A wordsmith if ever there was one. I never saw him in concert, but have loved this BBC Pretender, just piano, voice and poetry. Could be writing about today.

I'll bet every person in the comments can sing every word of this sing. Memories and great music😊
Hi Polo...Im a retired 911 supervisor from a metro Atlanta suburb. We had an.officer shot and killed while on duty. Of course I would not leave until the perp was.caught and my dispatchers had some counseling. My brother , God love him, knew how hard it was for my team and I and posted this one on my Facebook feed. Common man...job without recognition...he gave us some and I will forever love this song for that memory. Jackson Browne is one of my favorites. Thank you for choosing this one.
@kristyrohm1500 I wonder if this might let you capture some moment in time, which is really what our cherished memories are. Recorded in a very old disused church in rural Ireland, now used for music and poetry. This is Paul Buchanan (Scotland), and his sublime song/poem, capturing that one moment, where someone ordinary becomes unforgettably forever. Mid Air.

My son was Little Feat's guitar technician for about 10 years. One of their guest artists at their annual Ramble On the Island in Jamaica was Jackson Browne. I have a picture of him and my son together. 🥰
There was an incredible group of musicians, singers, and songwriters in the 70's that all lived in Laurel Canyon and supported and nurtured each other. Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, Joni Mitchell, Emmylou Harris, Ry Cooder, Karla Bonoff, and several others. Their music became known as country-rock and made the 70's an incredible decade musically.
Agreed. 70’s was a unique time in the world for music. Some of the most iconic albums released during this time. Easily my favorite decade for music.
CSNY too
Can’t leave out Graham Parsons when talking about anything to do with Country-Rock. He turned on David Crosby and the rest of The Byrds inspiring their album “Sweetheart of The Rodeo”, who then took it with him when he connected with CSNY.
He influenced all of em in Laurel Canyon, swooning their hearts with Country ballads and heartland headswill. The Eagles never would’ve been who they were without his prompt of making Country cool for the rock n’ roll jet set.
Graham was there hanging with Keith and the Stones, turning them on to lotsa sounds that led to the heavy ongoing Country influence and was present during their Exile sessions in the South of France.
The more I learn about him, the more I love and honor the often overlooked legacy he left behind.
@@CANDOKNOWHOW Very true. I thought my post would get too long if I named EVERYONE in that group but leaving Parsons out was an oversight. There is a great documentary on Amazon Prime about the people who hung around the canyon through the 60's and 70's. Apparently Frank Zappa's house was the center and Cass Elliot was the ringleader/house mother.
@@hectorsmommy1717 Yep, I’ve seen that Laurel Canyon doc and it’s really great cause a lot of people don’t realize that everyone there were all hanging together back then, and influenced each other.
The Whiskey Au-Go-Go and The Troubadour were both hotspots for new bands back then.
Also, yer tapping into that crowd at the Rainbow Room which started around that same time. John Lennon and Harry Nilsson were regulars for a stint there early on. But Mickey Nolans from the Monkees and Alice Cooper were all drinking buddies there. Zappa didn’t drink, but everyone knew him there in LA.
That LA scene was ripe with great talent, as was SF sound the same time.
The most amazing tribute to the fans, and to all his band mates. A truly heartfelt and gracious statement. Jackson Browne is da bomb.
HOORAY!!! One of my fav songs of all time....just feels so PERSONAL!! LOVE the lyrics and the meaning!! Hope you enjoy it, Polo!! HUGS!
I listened to Jackson Browne when I was 15 on a cassette in a boom box with my headphones on…he made me feel less alone. Saw him in concert. Stood next to him on the street in Santa Monica in 2000 and I was too nervous to say anything! It was like walking back in time.
During Stay, each band member gets a solo.
yes, except for the drummer, Russell Kunkel.
Oh what a rabbit hole this is…no one connects to the heart and spirit like Jackson Browne..enjoy the ride..it is life changing
A salute to the unsung heroes of music... The Roadies. Without them, every major artist wouldn't be able to put on the epic shows they do. Always loved this song. The 2nd part (Stay) is a song by Maurice Williams from the 1960's. The song was written by Williams in 1953 when he was 15 years old. He had been trying to convince his date not to go home at 10 o'clock as she was supposed to. He lost the argument, but as he was to relate years later, "Like a flood, the words just came to me."
Doctor My Eyes, The Pretender, Running On Empty, These Days, You Love The Thunder, the list goes on. JB is one of the best singer/songwriters from the golden age of rock-the 70’s.
This song is extra special because it was recorded LIVE, presumably as his final encore. The audience fully appreciates exactly what he's saying.
One of the most under appreciated song writers of our time . Started listening to Jackson when I was 13 and yes I had a huge crush but I’m now 62 and still listen to him .
Saw him in a huge outdoor concert (with Jimmy Buffet & Warren Zevon) concert when this was a hit in ‘77. It was his encore song! Just imagine how the crowd went crazy when he played this.
This is when MUSIC WAS MUSIC!
so much talent, so much pride in their craft.
This is one of the songs I've loved for years. Thank you so much for playing it through without interrupting it with needless comments. That makes such a big difference!
🎯
Rosemary Butler and David Lindley took this over the top. Best ending ever.
Fabulous. Thanks for Reacting to this Song.
RIP Inland Empire Guy David Lindley, who played Lap steel guitar and sang the falsetto co-lead on Stay, and passed away MAR 2023
He was the best
Dr. My Eyes, Song for Adam, Rock Me on the Water are all great songs. Song for Adam was written for his friend that committed suicide in India. Always brings tears to my eyes.
Yes, 'Doctor My Eyes', please, (after 'The Pretender').
I was 14 when this came out and I understood how great this song was and is still. Just the fact that he was kind enough to write a song that gave credit not only to the fans but to the people who help make the show successful says a lot about the man! Thank you for this video!
You should be watching the live version so you can see the guy who plays steel guitar sing his solo.
Jackson Browne is a definite vibe. Laid back sophistication...
The next logical Jackson Brown songs to check out would be "The Pretender" or "Doctor My Eyes". Classics.
I love watching you listen. I listen like that.
I am a 75 year old white woman. I have heard most of what you are hearing. You cause me to hear it better.
Thanks.
Awwww, you should have watched the LIVE version. To see their expressions, as his band played and contributed their vocals absolutely added to this.
EDIT: Rosemary Butler and David Lindley. 'Nuff said!
They sampled a song called stay at the end of the song it was done by Maurice Williams and the zodiacs in 1960....1 of the beach bands from South Carolina
First time I heard this, Stay caught me offguard. I knew it from Dirty Dancing, and was curious if I'd just heard the original. The DJ didn't announce the artist, I was driving, and it was not on any kind of rotation on the station. It was another year before I heard it again. Internet was not what it is today, and this song got missed on his earlier Greatest Hits album(s). It was a long time before I finally owned a copy, but the way that The Load-out leads into Stay makes the song for me, and the relative scarcity of the track on the radio makes it all the more special when I hear it somewhere.
It's very unusual to see you go through a song without pausing it, but the way this flows, I think you got the best experience by letting it just play. Kudos and thank you. Definitely a song to just sit back, relax, and enjoy (if you like it).
And Jackson saunters out the door. I love this guy. He wrote a song for the Eagles back in the day.
I'm a massive Eagles fan; aside from Take It Easy, what other songs did JB write for the Eagles? I always thought it was only one song.
@@dunhill1
It should read “wrote a song”. I apologize for the error.
@@chrisjenkins6120 no worries. I was getting excited to learn something new as I know he wrote lots of hit songs for other bands and even Linda Rondstadt. I make typos often as well. Thanks for correcting the record. Have a great weekend 👍
@@dunhill1 Jackson wrote Nightingale and co-wrote Doolin-Dalton and James Dean.
The first chorus is backup singer Rosemary Butler, the second is lap steel player David Lindley.
The falsetto singer is the slide guitar player. Talented guy. :)
Mr. David Lindley!
At was at Merriweather Post Pavillion in Columbia, MD, the night he recorded this. As hard as it hits you the first time, imagine hearing it at the very end of a live concert.
He was thanking his fans and the people that sing his songs and stand in line to see him. And the roadies that do all the work to get him where he has to be.
Calaveras County Fair Grounds in the gold mining country of California: I was there for a concert that I revisit often in my memories. It was a golden experience!!! 🌻
Jackson has many great tunes. Worth the dive.
Absolutely love him and this song.
Music heals…🌻
This is one that my dear departed dad learned to sing and play.
One of the greatest live recordings of all time.
I loved Jackson Browne. Great soul.
To me, this song is about life in general. We ALL, would love to stay just a little bit longer. ❤
I am not in a great band touring in a bus but this song makes me feel like I do...❤
Jackson closes out his shows with this song. He is paying tribute to his roadie crew.
That Running On Empty album is flawless. Every song is great. It should be in every music lovers collection.
Running on Empty and The Pretender are 2 of his best. He also co-wrote Take It Easy by The Eagles, which you should also do.
I was lucky enough to see Jackson Browne celebrate this songs 20th anniversary in the place where he recorded for the album, Saratoga Springs, NY (I saw the band in 1997)
“Doctor My Eyes” is Jackson Browne’s signature. His. “Take It Easy”, whether by him, or the excellent Eagles cover, is a classic from the 70’s as well.
I have covid and feel like crap, but I felt OUTSTANDING during this reaction. THANK YOU POLO!!
I respect your patience Polo….this song combo hits hard but it takes a minute to breath. Especially if you’re just listening for the first time
(Jackson Brown Doctor my Eyes and Running on Empty is coming eventually if people give you half way good feedback)
I grew up with this music. I am happy you are discovering it. My children and their friends have discovered it. They don't listen to the garbage they grew up with.
Yes...More! He's a HOF'er for a reason. Many reasons, actually. Fountain of Sorrow; Before the Deluge; For a Dancer; Late For the Sky; Running on Empty...and thirty more.
Jackson is a treasure! I saw him in concert with James Taylor last year and he still sounds amazing! Master songwriter.
The falsetto finale/"Stay" part of the track is a cover/paraphrase of a song by Maurice Williams from the 60's. Guitarist David Lindley provides the vocal.
My dear man,
if this is your 1st Jackson Browne tune, I am happy for you. He has such a long and rich catalog of songs. Don’t be afraid to dive deep.
I think this man is one of the greatest American songwriters/poets of his generation. He just has a most beautiful way of putting the human experience into words.
Yes, please, more.
Try:
These Days
Your Bright Baby Blues
For a Dance
Sky Blue and Black
Doctor My Eyes
I could go on and on….
Jackson Browne Toured With Linda Ronstadt - The Eagles as Backup Singers for Ronstadt As Well. Jackson Browne is Considered one of the Greatest Composer/Dong Writers of ALL Time. Often He Wrote Songs for other performers Which Initially Were not known to Be His "Take It Easy" Was Written By Jackson Browne with the Exceptional of 2 lines Which Glenn Frey of the Eagles Wrote. Jackson Browne Even Wrote Songs he Thought Weren't Good Like "Somebody's Baby" from 'Fast Times At Ridgemont High" Movie (He Never Expected Great Success With It)
Jackson Brown writes some of the best lyrics out there. His song The Pretender is his best. Loved his music for many, many years.
When I heard this song as a child I've never imagine my life could go thru' things Mr. Brown talks about here. 'Accidentally' I ended spending around 30 years of my life working as a Stage Technician*, so I lived in my flesh that thing of "the first to come & the last to go" or how there are actress, musicians, singers... who really love what they do and feel a conexión with the audience (and with the techies), while others just do their "paid jobs" and leave without saying "hi".
This song means a lot for a lot of "people in black".
(*) Mainly in theatres under a roof: performing arts, operas, orchestras, ballets, skate on ice, circus! But also modern music: Sting, Elvis Costello, Lou Reed, Alan Parsons, Van Morrison, Pat Metheny...
I love all of these (Reaction) videos. Where the younger generations experience real music for the first..... time
Jackson Browne and Don Henley were room mates before they made it big Don said Jackson would bang on that piano Allllllll day long …..it sure paid off. The latter part of the 60’s and all of the 70’s produced the greatest musicians of all time in rock an roll period….and those days are lost but not forgotten !!!
I was 17 and fell in love with him when I walked into a party at Chips house and his Late for Sky album was playing. I remember that moment like it was yesterday❤
Fast forward I was on a 6 month road trip in 1978 with 2 girlfriends in a Datsun B210 across US and every city we hit he was in concert coming up. We finally bought tickets to his Huston Texas show…….what an amazing show!
Seen him about 10 times more time since then.
Listen to For a Dancer…..
I’m 68 now, and was 25, when he sang this at a concert I Chicago area! So fun
His songs always took you somewhere because he sang a story and expressed so well what he experienced. Imagine how this tribute to them was received by his "roadies". An epic song and still so widely received after what, 50 years?
I was 12 years old at Merriweather Post Pavillion when they recorded this. amazing how certain songs will stay with you forever.
This also pays tribute to Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs and their song "Stay" which is the second half of this performance. The first half, "The Load Out," was written by Jackson and Bryan Garofalo.
Nice reaction Polo.
This was the So Cal vibe in the seventies.
Love each other on all levels. Laid back on Boones Farm Strawberry Hill wine and sweet sinsemilla, and vibing with Jackson's Browne.
I pray to God everyone, particularly you young people get a taste of the Joyful Peace, again.
Amen ✌️
So pleased that you discovered Jackson Browne. He’s rich with tremendous songs, so I hope you’ll explore his work. Thank you for doing what you’re doing with this channel. I appreciate your spirit.
jackson Brown and David Lindley, what a team
Since Pretender showed me who and what I was,Mr. Browne has been my favorite artist.
Imagine dancing to that! I'm 70 now and remember being at his shows in my 20s.
As a trucker on CB, I recommend Running on Empty for your next Jackson Brown song
Jackson Browne is the "every man" singer songwriter. A true artist of his trade.
What an amazingly incredible singer songwriter this man is..
This song is truly a gem!!! Jackson Browne is such a treasure!!!
you check out the live version,,, it's incredible to see the passion and the incredible David Lindley!
I was pretty sure you'd like Jackson. He is a musical genius and one of top lyricists and composers out there who has a way of perfectly expressing in his lyrics the themes of his life with beautiful melodies. You need to listen to these introspective songs, "Running of Empty", "Fountain of Sorrow", "The Pretender" and "Doctor My Eyes" among many many others. I think his lyrics will blow you away as well as his music. Jackson Browne is just fantastic.
The music of my youth ❤
In 1972 when I first heard Dr. my eyes, I've been a fan ever since and always will love this man .
Jackson Browne is a national treasure. He deserves a deep dive into his songs and lyrics. Maybe do The Deluge next?
Love needs a heart, is criminally underated. A complete song
One of my favorite singer/songwriters of the 70s. There were so many of them that made the times magical growing up. If you want a song for the working man, check out "40 hour week" by Alabama.
I saw Jackson Browne play live around 1979. He would put on really long concerts, and end with this performance. It was a really good live show.
Jackson Browne is more than a vibe....it's a whole groove.
