I have been a Jackson Browne fan 48 years in my opinion Jackson his hands down the most heartfelt prolific songwriter of our time I for one am thankful that we've had him in our lives helping us express the feelings that many of us cannot put into words thank you again mr. Browne
At this point in his career Jackson Browne had published, I think 3 albums: Saturate Before Using, Late for the Sky and Everyman. This collection of material is on display in this concert. If he had never written another lyric or sang another note his body of work established him as one of the great songwriters of his day. Though the production values of this recording are not so great, in my mind and heart, every note and word still rings true. As a college kid I played these albums over and over. They became an important part of me, as did The Pretender album. These songs like a time machine carry me back and touch deep in my soul. I'm forever grateful to have grown up with such musical influences. Thanks Jackson, I feel forever indebted for these gifts.
The Pretender actually came out the month after this concert. The following summer, he was on the road with a superstar band, recording the music for Running on Empty.
I have been 66 for 6 months now. Everything in my heart and soul believes without a doubt, Jackson truly is and has been the very best songwriter/musician of my lifetime. I love many other bands and musicians but Jackson has always been my #1. I have been diagnosed with "C" but i am going to fight with all i can to be free of it. For many reasons but i am not ready to let go of this music. Jackson has been in my life since i first heard him in my youth. He has a special place in my heart.
Dear 2501 just above me here... I'm the same age as you we could have the same birthdays but that's besides the point! Whatever helps your mind is just as important a factor in your position as anything else in my opinion . You have the attitude to beat the thing. I have more than one friend with the c. Attitude is such a big factor and just go for it man or woman or whomever you are. Much love.❤😂🎉😂❤😂🎉
I'm 66 yrs old as well. I first heard Jackson Browne at the tender age of thirteen. Jackson's Music has been there for the good times & the bad. Thru life & death. I'm still listening & learning. I Pray for this gentle Soul & Thank The Father For His Genius. ✝️✝️✝️
I agree with you. Jackson is the most prolific songwriter of our times. His poetic excellence is without equal. The For Everyman album floored me when I first heard it in the seventies. Fifty years later he still brings peace to me in a selfish world. What a gifted man.
Lindley is hardly a household name, but he’s hardly underrated. He’s an absolute legend. Look at his discography. The guy has worked with Ry Cooder numerous times, ask Ry how he rates him.
It's funny how some artists' music just "hits" you at the exact time you need it. It's not just coincidental ... I think it's a sort of a soulful connection waiting to happen. When it does --- and also when the life circumstances surrounding you at the time lend a receptivity --- it literally "impresses" a shape on your spirit. And that shape never leaves you. You return to it whenever you want to or need to and it ALWAYS evokes the same feelings, albeit adjusted for your place upon your life's journey. But, speaking for myself, I know if a song made me cry instantly upon first hearing it, then it ALWAYS will ... even after 40 or 50 years! The good artistic stuff ... the REALLY good stuff ... whether Van Gogh, The Beatles, or Jackson, it matters not. The art and the songs are effective, but more importantly, they are "affective"!
I saw a JB- Concert on a cold, foggy Winterday in December 1976 in Heidelberg/Germany, his Birthtown. I really was not in a good mood, had some personal troubles. This concert changed everything completly, after it I felt a complete happiness. I'll never forget this night.
I saw him in 1982 and then recently on May 12, 2022 in Vancouver, BC with James Taylor. I ended up buying all his repertoire I could get my hands on. Holy Hannah, like falling in love for the first time, still can't get enough. I'm tickled pink I went to see him.
My dad has shared his love of Jackson Browne through my life. We have seen him in concert several times together. Thank you Jackson, for the memories and great music. You have touched multiple generations in this family❤️
I graduated a year later than you. JB attended my HS years before me but was relatively unknown while in HS according to the music director i quizzed to find out more if i could 😂
I totally agree with you. Nobody else like him, he was born to do this and millions of fans are sending him our love and appreciation I hope he feels the love . I think he does.
Wow at him opening the show with his yet to be released song The Fuse , The Pretender album. I remember being at a party, age 16, and hearing the local DJ say, here’s the title song from Jackson Browne’s new album The Pretender I rushed to the record store the next morning to buy it.
Best thing about this is how un-"showman" it is. They look like a band just playing in a studio who are happy to have an audience watch them work - just gathered around in a circle, equipment placed where it's convenient so they can hear each other. And the playing and arrangment are dead-on tight. Simply beautiful.
Man, I yearn for the 70's again. Saw Jackson several times in Jersey and PA. Him and Lindley are both legends and I will forever be greatly to both of them for there inspiration.
Truer words never spoken the seventies were the best to be young ,teenagers and young adults! Could get away with anything ! No HIV. We had the pill no worries about getting pregnant! Just worried about crabs! Lol and the best music that just keeps on keeping on! We could walk around m m*ssissippi state fair with our cups of beer. Wonderful awesome years how I miss them. Somehow most of us turned out alright. Class of 75. Forest Hill rebelsl
This, and other music, from the 70s are indeed great. But what was even better was being in my 20s. The possibilities were unlimited. I had the world by the tale. Or tail, one or the other. How'd it turn out? The Springsteen song, "Backstreets," pretty much nails it.
One of my allllll time faves.i cry. My. Beloved hubby taught me how to play it. We literally played this EVERY DAY. He is in heaven and I hope he's jammin his A SS off. Sooo simple and so high. David is crazy talented. Love him too! I love this. Line up. The best days huh? Sending love to all and many thanks ❤️ .
first saw jackson at the TROUBADOR. he was introduced by linda ronstadt as a new and upcoming talent or something to that effect. i was mesmerised! thank you jackson for being in our lives and for being our everyman.
Cool. Living in The Lowcountry of SC, I didn't get the chance to see him until 4 years ago. I had tickets for The Hurricane Irma relief tour but was in a car accident and couldn't drive for 6 months. Crap...
I saw him there too, opening for Linda. That was '71 or '72 I think? After 'Song for Adam', I turned to my buddy and told him,"that does it - tomorrow I'm gonna buy an acoustic guitar" and I did. Never looked back. Have seen him several times over the years, and he just keeps getting better. Thank you Jackson!
Been loving Jackson Browne since 1971. He’s a wonderful, talented, beautiful person. Hope to see him again whenever I can. Praying for his health during this pandemic. Has anyone heard how he is doing? 🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽
Didn't know he had had the covid glad to hear he recovered saw him last year at Wolf Trap by far my all-time favorite 50 years of Excellence thank you Jackson
76 year I graduated High School.... loved and still do love JB music. Even at 71 now he still sounds as great as back then. Watching Tour list hoping he'll come to our area.... THAT would be the Best!
Watching this it must have been hard for him to go on tour just 7 months after his wife, Phyllis Major, committed suicide - and less than a year after they had gotten married. That helps explain why he was so unsure when the Pretender album would be released, as he was introducing its title track. Great performance and it's so nice to see and hear Jackson and David Lindley in their younger days. JB is an amazing poet/songwriter, in my opinion. Without UA-cam so much of this would be lost in time.
After 45 years of being a fan blown backwards again by how great Jackson is!!! It's been to damn long since I've heard these songs!!! Play on forever Jackson you're the best!!!
I'm in total agreeance with James just above me here because I love Jackson too as much as anyone but I also appreciate Neil Joni James Taylor maybe a couple of others just as much in their own right were very impactful on me from youth maybe I could say equally at the same time which isn't well yeah I think it is possible actually but I wouldn't flip through all four of them in one day or anything I'm just saying I love them all and I don't say who's the best number one or whatever really doesn't make much sense if you're very well rounded but I mean anyone can believe whatever they want anyway peace and love to all and good nigh t .❤😂🎉❤😂🎉❤😂🎉❤
My older brother and I drove from Wytheville to Roanoke to get THE PRETENDER the first week it hit the shelves : 84 miles each way, but we didn't get music to the mountains in any timely fashion. I confessed on the way home, " Boyd, I bought 2 copies. " And he smiled, " Me, too. " I still have mine.
Your tale is one of love my friend...for music and with your brother. What a treasured memory. In my mind, your story is in us all; searching, discovery, capturing and wanting to hold onto the wondrous glories of life. Music and art, family and friends, kinship to others...what else is there? We are here for such a short time and then we're gone. Having an extra copy and driving an hour and a half...if only we could get an extra copy of other precious parts of our life like a close friend or family member, so we'd never lose them!
Heard him at the San Jose Civic Auditorium in 1970. He was the warm up band (imagine that!) for Linda Ronstadt. David Lindley sat in with Linda's band. What an incredible night of fabulous music. Musically and lyrically he is a gift to the world.
3 weeks later, i have watched this many times. I was 20 then. I went to one of his concerts when i was 22. I will be 66 in a week. I had been a fan long before the concert. There are so many things to love about this concert, more than i can list here. It's no wonder i have been a "fan" for so many years.
Awesome - thank you Jackson Browne. Great music. A great band. David Lindley is amazing. An injustice that David is not in the rock and roll hall of fame. Have seen Jackson many times over the years. Have never been disappointed. Saw this show two weeks earlier in Cincinnati (Oct 1, 1976). This recording (in spite of the flaws) brings a flood of wonderful memories. Thank you for sharing this recording.
It's almost like reading a diary you've written over your younger years. To have so very much life experience, blows me away watching almost reading, this footage. Jackson you genius. You never cease to amaze me. God bless you. I love you to bits.
I can listen to Jackson Brown today, just as I did in 1972 while in high school. Well, its certainly been long time since high school but what memories, thank you for sharing your gift with those who can only wish to have such talent.
Ditto ditto ditto to all brothers and sisters who have said how wonderful this man is and how much they relate to him and having his music in their lives from a young age really helped them out, as there's not a shred of doubt in my mind he really helped m But not forget others of the era who to me were in the same category of honesty and openness about trying to be a real , feeling human being, in spite of a lot of emotional troubles and blockades.🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
He was such a young man at this time. Yet his music reflects such depth and wisdom and this is paired with such musical artistry. So many years later, he remains a gifted artist.
How can anyone be this talented? If I could. Just write one song like fountain and f sorrow I would die a very happy man. Thanks Jackson. You just made my day again. Sincerely.
*Phenomenal artist, singer - songwriter, musician, humanitarian, well mannered, humble, and incredible sense of humor bearing, exceptional human being ‼️‼️‼️🎖🎖🎖❤️👍👍🇺🇲⬆️💯percent._
I have been lucky enough to see him many times over the years. This is a fantastic video. I love Jackson Browne and this killer band. The soundtrack of my life. Thank you Jackson for all you have given us. This is so good, it reminds me of the first time I saw him.
I appreciate the love and support by my fans, I am blessed with such a fan following, they always motivate me to do the best. There love is my inspiration and there loves make me feel good about myself! All thanks to them, LOVE THEM ALL. Are you one of my great fans out there?
Hearing this is like listening to a spirit from a prior lifetime. Computers have screwed up out lives in so many ways, but to recall at a click music from generations ago, is beyond words.
There is something so raw and somber about the feel of this performance. Then I noticed the date, and realized it was about six months since his wife passed on. Boy of Mine is so unbelievable sad, and I don't know how he managed.
SopranoAscends C6. Look up Sound Stage , Jackson Browne 1976 , the whole concert and you will see the most somber concert ever. There was one smile , which brought a tear to my eye. I will try to come back and put in a link. I agree. " Boy of Mine”, written well before he knew that his son’s mother would be gone is a heartbreaker. As soon as I hear the words “Boy of Mine” at the beginning I start to melt. I think she (Phillis Major) died in May 1976 and Jackson said that after about 3 months he just had to get back to work. There are 2 or 3 songs on “The Pretender” that seem to be prophetic. ua-cam.com/video/q63tqQ_zxFM/v-deo.html
Damn, what a great set. I'm intrigued why 27 people gave this a thumbs down... what's to fault here? I feel blessed this footage even exists and is shared here! Been listening since about, well, when I was in 10th grade the year this show had happened. Wish I could have been there!
Jackson is perceived by the Right Wing,, Hate Radio, Trump-Can-Do-No-Wrong-Crowd, as an Un-American, Left-Wing, Socialist, Environmentalist, who thinks Global Warming is real, and who believes the discrepancy between the 1% and the rest of us is obscene. These folks troll UA-cam, and elsewhere,, and give Jackson (and Bruce Springsteen, and others) negative votes without even listening to the songs, because their leaders provide these declarations and labels. The last thing with which a Right Wing Troll wants to be burdened is having yo think for him or herself.
Probably because the audio isn't great quality. So many are used to excellent audio on videos that they forget that this stuff was taped off live TV signals frequently and not high fidelity by any means. And if you compare videos from video cameras just 15 years ago, they look horrible compared to today. This is very good considering all.
Anyone who gave Jackson Browne a thumbs down does not comprehend a master gifted singer songwriter like him. Always was and always will be the greatest in my life.
Gold, Gold, Gold!!! Have seen Jackson Browne every tour down under since he first toured here in the late 70`s. Has never let anyone down in concert in my eyes, but more to the point has blown myself and many others away on numerous occasions. Has always toured with brilliant and classy musicians, including that ragtag mob called "The Section" and the many artists he`s toured down here with; Bonnie Rait, James Taylor, Kebmo etc. etc. I remember one night at the now demolished Sydney Entertainment Centre Knophler got up on stage to jam with the boys for a couple of songs and the Kootch, Danny Kortchmar blew Knophler all the way back to the old England Town, pretty to watch. i`ll keep going while Jackson keeps coming, absolute genius, last show at the Sydney Opera House a couple of years ago brilliant, featuring his latest album at the time which is also brilliant. This Man can Sing!!
I appreciate the love and support by my fans, I am blessed with such a fan following, they always motivate me to do the best. There love is my inspiration and there loves make me feel good about myself! All thanks to them, LOVE THEM ALL. Are you one of my great fans out there?
Been a fan of JB since the beginning, his lyrics just seemed to speak to me, but I guess we all feel like that. I was stuck in a declining marriage when I heard the song Late for the Sky, and it somehow made things clear to me, especially the lines: I don't know what I loved in you, I don't know what you loved in me; maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be.... What amazed me then, and still resonates today, is that he and I are the same age, yet he had all this insight to life when he was in his early 20s! I expected to learn life's lessons from my parents and others who had lived long enough to experience how to deal with the difficulties we inevitably run into. How did he get all this life experience at 24?? Kind of made me feel like I was a child and he was the wise old man at the mountaintop. Very grateful for all these tunes, and this video was fabulous!
grown up music for people who have lived a life. My older sister used to play Late for the Sky a lot when i was growing up. Those songs stuck in my head. Later in life as an adult that record (cd) came into my possession and i started to play it after my first marriage fell apart. The songs came alive and i finally understood what he was singing about - adult stuff. They are still beautiful songs. After the Deluge is just brilliant.
Watching this reminds me of why i loved him so much so many years ago and still do to this day. He is a very special song writer/singer/musician. He's just so good! Brilliant.
@@rcdowdy LEO's on the scene investigated and confirmed the incident did not happen. Browne denies it, Daryl Hannah denies it, the police deny it and producers of a JFK Jr film that recklessly referenced it pulled it from the film because there was no basis to it.
I have been a huge fan of Jackson for as long as I can remember! His words in his song has helped me through some really hard times. Especially through the death of my husband!! THANK YOU JACKSON BROWNE, I LOVE YOU 💘
Bonnie, I'm SO sorry to hear that you lost your husband. Hope you can get by on the memories that you obviously still have of him. Keep on keepin' on, there, kid! :-)
This is an absolutely brilliant concert. I wish there were more! Well worth watching and listening to. Can't wait to see Jackson back in my Country in the not too distant future. Love Jo xo
Saw him 2 summers ago, his voice was still incredible. He did so much old stuff it was amazing. He still has it, and seems as sweet as we remember him from the late 70's.
All JB's songs move me. His songs have followed me thru so many hardships in my life and so many good times in my life. I call him the love of my life.
I'm very glad I saw Jackson Browne in the early to mid 70's. The band and material then was amazingly great. Thanks for posting this video! I wish it was commercially available.
What gift to be able hear Jackson's concert from 1976 when he was first starting out. Thank you for sharing this. Sound quality and video is amazing. I was never able to have experience a live concert when he was just starting out. I was in junior high and and too young to even be aware of his music till I was in my late teens. This performance is so true to that all the albums I have. It's incredible how he captured the songs from his albums so accurately in these early live concerts. So talented and so ahead of his time profound lyrics that I begin to understand more and more the older I get.
Had a chance to attend concert mississippi collisium. , was working at Treasury drugs my best girlfriend had tickets , but couldn't get another best friend who worked with me to work my shift, found out he decided to take my place and went with deb was hurt. For years but hey could I really blame him! Lol
Jackson is one of Americas' great songwriters. Lindley is one of our greatest stringed instrument musicians and their talents meld together and add to each other and become something even better than when apart. SWEET concert! Thanks!
This is a wonderful archive. 1976 was just a kick butt year in general, and especially for music, with Jackson being in the front runners of making music that would impact so many, so profoundly. I still know all the words to all of these songs, 47 years after first hearing them. As my friends and I would cherrfully say, "Bring me down, Jackson Browne!!" 😉
This brings back so many memories...the concert was during the fall of my freshman year at CSU in Ft. Collins, CO. There was a small record shop, Finest Records right across the street from my dorm where I got introduced to Jackson Browne and Dan Fogelberg, still my two favorite musicians of all time. As others have said, true poet laureates of their generation, and even of all time, I would argue. If you love Jackson Browne, I highly recommend his two volume acoustic album. Pure magic with lots of life wisdom woven in along the way.
Thanks JB. Your reflections and inspiration helped me on my way back then. Many years of self discovery ensued and 30 years later my one and only child arrived and now has your name.
I saw JB at Indiana University in the early 70s. He was the warmup act for Laura Nyro! I became infatuated with his music then, having never heard him before. He was and continues to be a part of music lore.
I saw him 6 days earlier at William and Mary college. I was only 16 and chills went up my spine when he walked on stage! My first of many JB concerts! Orleans opened for him. Those were the good ol' days!
I was only 9 when this concert was held but when I grow up and heard Jackson Browne music I love it , my older brother even brought two album of his song......I always played it when I have friends in our house. LONG LIVE good MUSIC
Hello 👋 Geroge How're you doing. Thanks for this comment, I'm nothing without fans like you who appreciate my musical craftiness It's nice meeting you here.
I met Jackson Browne and Ethan his son and David Lindley and his band backstage at the Syria Mosque in Pittsburgh in 1976. He was on his Pretender tour and I was 18 at the time. Backstage he actually stepped out of a guitar room and ran right into me and asked if I was ok. I have been a lifelong fan of both Jackson and Severin Browne.
Wow just stumbled upon this. Jackson Browne is such a great songwriter and has featured so many great players on his albums and his touring band. Always great to see him playing live with the great David Lindley. A friend convinced me to go and see him when he was touring The Pretender in Sydney January 1977. I became a lifelong fan after that show. Maria Muldaur opened for him that night and she was great.
I wasn't at this concert, but I still have my ticket stub from his concert that year in Toledo, Ohio. It cost me $7.50 and was well worth the $1.60 minimum wage I was making at Burger Chef! Doctor My Eyes, Running on Empty (tour album) and Stay were highlights from my memory.
+James Simmons Where would he have played at in Toledo at that time, James? Surely not the Sports Arena. UT's Centennial Hall? I can't believe I didn't attend. I recall seeing him at about this time up at what was then called Pine Knob.
I was at this concert but at SMU. A hall that held about 300 people. I left a different person. He took me to an otherworldly church. I was never the same. It wasn't the first time I saw him and it wasn't the last. It was the smallest. I have no words.

Absolutely
I also have been a fan for 50 yrs. Just came across this….. Just saw him in Red Rocks last week…. I am blown away❤️
Yes you are exactly right
The soundtrack of my life since '72

I agree with you. Jackson is the most prolific songwriter of our times. His poetic excellence is without equal. The For Everyman album floored me when I first heard it in the seventies. Fifty years later he still brings peace to me in a selfish world. What a gifted man.
He sure knows how to bring reality to paper. I'm waiting for his biography. He is fulllllll of stories. Real shit! I love it all. So gifted ✌️ 💕
Yes!!! I can not listen to him enough
Ditto
I have loved Jackson Brown’s music for 50 years he tells stories poetically.🦋
For Everyman is a masterpiece.
It is Jackson ' s voice that still gets me plus
the playing of David Lindley . Magic .
David Lindley was always a special treat at Jackson's shows, one of the most amazing and relatively underrated multi-instrumentalists around.
David is surely only underrated by those who have never heard him! I saw him with Ry Cooder in London a lifetime ago......awesome
philkampel Lindley is a genius....plays all kinds of musical instruments...
Completely wrong use of the word underrated in this context my man sorry to tell you this
Too bad the cameraman didn't know this.
Lindley is hardly a household name, but he’s hardly underrated. He’s an absolute legend. Look at his discography. The guy has worked with Ry Cooder numerous times, ask Ry how he rates him.

Saw him w/ David at the " Main Point " in Penna. in 1972 . All acoustic show .
At his best👍. Love this man. Always will. A shining light in a dark dark world 🙏
I was at this concert!!! Those were the days my friends! That was the year I graduated high school. I was so in love with him.
I graduated a year later than you. JB attended my HS years before me but was relatively unknown while in HS according to the music director i quizzed to find out more if i could 😂
Was this really the full concert? A 69-minute show?
"Though the years give way to uncertainty; and the fear of living for nothing strangles the will" - God, his words can just grab one by the heart.....
I totally agree with you. Nobody else like him, he was born to do this and millions of fans are sending him our love and appreciation I hope he feels the love . I think he does.
Wow at him opening the show with his yet to be released song The Fuse , The Pretender album. I remember being at a party, age 16, and hearing the local DJ say, here’s the title song from Jackson Browne’s new album The Pretender I rushed to the record store the next morning to buy it.
RIP David Lindley who created the amazing sounds for JB's finest albums...and replicated those live as well.
I was lucky to have been at this show. RIP David Lindley.
Beyond just lyrics....and notes...clyde jb grabs you by your soul
The level of his song writing brilliance is magical. What a remarkable soul.
Legendary musician,and underrated at the same time one of the best songwriters ever!! The great jackson Browne!!!
+Ozzie Balan Amen brother
+Ozzie Balan Completely agree. It's a very strange paradox. People love him but they usually don't realize just how great he really is.
amen ii love love love him and will be seeing him in june for the second time this year
I don’t think he was underrated,more like under appreciated!
@@fredbond2429 Good call.

This, and other music, from the 70s are indeed great. But what was even better was being in my 20s. The possibilities were unlimited. I had the world by the tale. Or tail, one or the other.
How'd it turn out? The Springsteen song, "Backstreets," pretty much nails it.
Yessss
Whether one stumbled or searched for this on you tube, lets just enjoy the songs of this genius of a musician,songwriter
Well said.Refer back to my Stargazer input from the Atlantic Monthly. You will be amazed.
One of my allllll time faves.i cry. My. Beloved hubby taught me how to play it. We literally played this EVERY DAY. He is in heaven and I hope he's jammin his A SS off. Sooo simple and so high. David is crazy talented. Love him too! I love this. Line up. The best days huh? Sending love to all and many thanks ❤️
.
first saw jackson at the TROUBADOR. he was introduced by linda ronstadt as a new and upcoming talent or something to that effect. i was mesmerised! thank you jackson for being in our lives and for being our everyman.
Wow! What a lucky guy you are to have seen him at the Troubadour!!! That is so cool.
That figures , Linda Ronstadt , The Eagles &
Jackson .It was Jackson who told The Eagles what you have to do to be successful . Work .
@@martinobrien7110 also got to see jackson introduce new artist warren zevon at the troubador
Cool. Living in The Lowcountry of SC, I didn't get the chance to see him until 4 years ago. I had tickets for The Hurricane Irma relief tour but was in a car accident and couldn't drive for 6 months. Crap...
I saw him there too, opening for Linda. That was '71 or '72 I think? After 'Song for Adam', I turned to my buddy and told him,"that does it - tomorrow I'm gonna buy an acoustic guitar" and I did. Never looked back. Have seen him several times over the years, and he just keeps getting better. Thank you Jackson!
Been loving Jackson Browne since 1971. He’s a wonderful, talented, beautiful person. Hope to see him again whenever I can. Praying for his health during this pandemic. Has anyone heard how he is doing? 🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽
He had the virus early on, but thankfully survived. Caught it in New York while doing a benefit concert in Feb. Good karma for his service.
Annette Kibert yes he’s back in California recovering from the virus 🙏🏼❤️🇦🇺 seen him 5 times in Melbourne Australia plus Byron Bay festive ⭐️🇦🇺
Didn't know he had had the covid glad to hear he recovered saw him last year at Wolf Trap by far my all-time favorite 50 years of Excellence thank you Jackson
He is touring this year playing Cleveland and Dayton Ohio for sure with James Taylor
76 year I graduated High School.... loved and still do love JB music. Even at 71 now he still sounds as great as back then. Watching Tour list hoping he'll come to our area.... THAT would be the Best!
Watching this it must have been hard for him to go on tour just 7 months after his wife, Phyllis Major, committed suicide - and less than a year after they had gotten married. That helps explain why he was so unsure when the Pretender album would be released, as he was introducing its title track. Great performance and it's so nice to see and hear Jackson and David Lindley in their younger days. JB is an amazing poet/songwriter, in my opinion. Without UA-cam so much of this would be lost in time.
After 45 years of being a fan blown backwards again by how great Jackson is!!! It's been to damn long since I've heard these songs!!! Play on forever Jackson you're the best!!!
Some of the most beautiful emotional passionate music ever written. and still so now...love you always Jackson!
The Late for the Sky songs, in particular, make me cry because of how much they meant to me in the 70s..thank you, Jackson
Jackson, Joni, Neil...nobody revealed their insides, their Heart, their Soul, like them.
I'm in total agreeance with James just above me here because I love Jackson too as much as anyone but I also appreciate Neil Joni James Taylor maybe a couple of others just as much in their own right were very impactful on me from youth maybe I could say equally at the same time which isn't well yeah I think it is possible actually but I wouldn't flip through all four of them in one day or anything I'm just saying I love them all and I don't say who's the best number one or whatever really doesn't make much sense if you're very well rounded but I mean anyone can believe whatever they want anyway peace and love to all and good nigh t .❤😂🎉❤😂🎉❤😂🎉❤
My older brother and I drove from Wytheville to Roanoke to get THE PRETENDER the first week it hit the shelves : 84 miles each way, but we didn't get music to the mountains in any timely fashion. I confessed on the way home, " Boyd, I bought 2 copies. " And he smiled, " Me, too. " I still have mine.
I love this!!
What a great story; thanks for sharing.
Awesome tale my friend! Peace to you both!
Know I-81 well . My first wife was from Galax. Can imagine your trip...great story. Star City...where you went for everything.
Your tale is one of love my friend...for music and with your brother. What a treasured memory. In my mind, your story is in us all; searching, discovery, capturing and wanting to hold onto the wondrous glories of life. Music and art, family and friends, kinship to others...what else is there? We are here for such a short time and then we're gone. Having an extra copy and driving an hour and a half...if only we could get an extra copy of other precious parts of our life like a close friend or family member, so we'd never lose them!
Heard him at the San Jose Civic Auditorium in 1970. He was the warm up band (imagine that!) for Linda Ronstadt. David Lindley sat in with Linda's band. What an incredible night of fabulous music. Musically and lyrically he is a gift to the world.
Wow Carl what a great comment ! I saw him and David at the Main Point ( Bryn Mawr , PA. ) in 1972 .
3 weeks later, i have watched this many times. I was 20 then. I went to one of his concerts when i was 22. I will be 66 in a week. I had been a fan long before the concert. There are so many things to love about this concert, more than i can list here. It's no wonder i have been a "fan" for so many years.
What a fabulous talent, especially the poetic songwriting. Along with Dan Fogelberg, my favorite songwriters EVER.
Awesome - thank you Jackson Browne. Great music. A great band. David Lindley is amazing. An injustice that David is not in the rock and roll hall of fame. Have seen Jackson many times over the years. Have never been disappointed. Saw this show two weeks earlier in Cincinnati (Oct 1, 1976). This recording (in spite of the flaws) brings a flood of wonderful memories. Thank you for sharing this recording.
It's almost like reading a diary you've written over your younger years.
To have so very much life experience, blows me away watching almost reading, this footage.
Jackson you genius.
You never cease to amaze me.
God bless you.
I love you to bits.
I can listen to Jackson Brown today, just as I did in 1972 while in high school. Well, its certainly been long time since high school but what memories, thank you for sharing your gift with those who can only wish to have such talent.
His music has been the tapestry of my life
I was at this show. Fourth row, dead center. An amazing night!
If you remember it, you weren't there, haha. I wish I remembered concerts I went to in the 70's!
Joss Palin Hey, I think I just saw you! Can swear you waved at me!
You must've freaked at what seemed like a bad trip starting at 43:22 . :)
Ditto ditto ditto to all brothers and sisters who have said how wonderful this man is and how much they relate to him and having his music in their lives from a young age really helped them out, as there's not a shred of doubt in my mind he really helped m But not forget others of the era who to me were in the same category of honesty and openness about trying to be a real , feeling human being, in spite of a lot of emotional troubles and blockades.🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
These are real musicians.
What an Epic period in the great Singer / SongWriter American music legacy period!
None did it Better than Jackson!!!
This footage is a treasure !
He was such a young man at this time. Yet his music reflects such depth and wisdom and this is paired with such musical artistry. So many years later, he remains a gifted artist.
Young man, old soul.
How can anyone be this talented? If I could. Just write one song like fountain and f sorrow I would die a very happy man. Thanks Jackson. You just made my day again. Sincerely.
*Phenomenal artist, singer - songwriter, musician, humanitarian, well mannered, humble, and incredible sense of humor bearing, exceptional human being ‼️‼️‼️🎖🎖🎖❤️👍👍🇺🇲⬆️💯percent._
My all time favorite artist ❤
I have been lucky enough to see him many times over the years. This is a fantastic video. I love Jackson Browne and this killer band. The soundtrack of my life. Thank you Jackson for all you have given us. This is so good, it reminds me of the first time I saw him.
I appreciate the love and support by my fans, I am blessed with such a fan following, they always motivate me to do the best. There love is my inspiration and there loves make me feel good about myself! All thanks to them, LOVE THEM ALL. Are you one of my great fans out there?
Late For The Sky kills me. Love JB always!
CHECK OUT.....RUNNING ON EMPTY.......
Pamela Boes Me, too, Pamela.
My all time Favorite JB tune. Amazing artist, but one of the more gifted songwriters of the last 50 years
"When you've found another soul who sees into your own - take good care of each other" From The Only Child. Great tune!
Written for his son, Ethan, I just discovered- what a gift to have received! 💝
Jackson Browne is a gentle poet who uses music for his verses.
"Don't confront me with my failures, I had not forgotten them". That a 16yo wrote those lyrics, is almost unbelievable.
Hearing this is like listening to a spirit from a prior lifetime. Computers have screwed up out lives in so many ways, but to recall at a click music from generations ago, is beyond words.
Yes indeed.
The Fuse was always one my favorite of all his songs...I always love hearing it❤😊
Jackson Browne, the best music story teller of his time
There is something so raw and somber about the feel of this performance. Then I noticed the date, and realized it was about six months since his wife passed on. Boy of Mine is so unbelievable sad, and I don't know how he managed.
I was thinking the same thing as I listened to this. Don't know how he could get through those songs.
SopranoAscends C6. Look up Sound Stage , Jackson Browne 1976 , the whole concert and you will see the most somber concert ever. There was one smile , which brought a tear to my eye. I will try to come back and put in a link.
I agree. " Boy of Mine”, written well before he knew that his son’s mother would be gone is a heartbreaker. As soon as I hear the words “Boy of Mine” at the beginning I start to melt. I think she (Phillis Major) died in May 1976 and Jackson said that after about 3 months he just had to get back to work. There are 2 or 3 songs on “The Pretender” that seem to be prophetic.
ua-cam.com/video/q63tqQ_zxFM/v-deo.html
Jackson was still suffering from a nasty headcold, too, though he was on the backside of it.
the music today cannot even come close to this one! where have all the great artists gone?
デビューからプリテンダーまでのアルバムを擦り切れるほど聞いていた10代の終わり
今や60代の私
久しぶりにここで出会えたジャクソンは、やっぱり素晴らしいとしみじみ思います
David Lindley, though. Love his playing. The camera doesn't find him often here, but you can always hear him.
Damn, what a great set. I'm intrigued why 27 people gave this a thumbs down... what's to fault here? I feel blessed this footage even exists and is shared here! Been listening since about, well, when I was in 10th grade the year this show had happened. Wish I could have been there!
Jackson is perceived by the Right Wing,, Hate Radio, Trump-Can-Do-No-Wrong-Crowd, as an Un-American, Left-Wing, Socialist, Environmentalist, who thinks Global Warming is real, and who believes the discrepancy between the 1% and the rest of us is obscene. These folks troll UA-cam, and elsewhere,, and give Jackson (and Bruce Springsteen, and others) negative votes without even listening to the songs, because their leaders provide these declarations and labels. The last thing with which a Right Wing Troll wants to be burdened is having yo think for him or herself.
Probably because the audio isn't great quality. So many are used to excellent audio on videos that they forget that this stuff was taped off live TV signals frequently and not high fidelity by any means. And if you compare videos from video cameras just 15 years ago, they look horrible compared to today. This is very good considering all.
Trump trolls gotta' hate.
I was at that show!!! Went to all his NJ concerts
Anyone who gave Jackson Browne a thumbs down does not comprehend a master gifted singer songwriter like him. Always was and always will be the greatest in my life.
Gold, Gold, Gold!!!
Have seen Jackson Browne every tour down under since he first toured here in the late 70`s. Has never let anyone down in concert in my eyes, but more to the point has blown myself and many others away on numerous occasions. Has always toured with brilliant and classy musicians, including that ragtag mob called "The Section" and the many artists he`s toured down here with; Bonnie Rait, James Taylor, Kebmo etc. etc.
I remember one night at the now demolished Sydney Entertainment Centre Knophler got up on stage to jam with the boys for a couple of songs and the Kootch, Danny Kortchmar blew Knophler all the way back to the old England Town, pretty to watch.
i`ll keep going while Jackson keeps coming, absolute genius, last show at the Sydney Opera House a couple of years ago brilliant, featuring his latest album at the time which is also brilliant.
This Man can Sing!!
It's 'Knopfler' and no one blows him away, you must have been stoned.
I've seen him six times four of them at merriweather Post one of them just a year ago more than 40 years after the first time that's incredible
My all time favorite artist of all time....
+James Barnes
Mine too, since the early 70s. Also, the magic chemistry between JB and David Lindley is nearly unmatched.
+James Barnes even better than Bonzo Bee Flyaway?
JAMES HARNES, MINE AS WELL
I saw him last summer, here in Minneapolis, and he is still the most wonderful poet of our generation. His beautiful lyrics are timeless.
I appreciate the love and support by my fans, I am blessed with such a fan following, they always motivate me to do the best. There love is my inspiration and there loves make me feel good about myself! All thanks to them, LOVE THEM ALL. Are you one of my great fans out there?
Been a fan of JB since the beginning, his lyrics just seemed to speak to me, but I guess we all feel like that. I was stuck in a declining marriage when I heard the song Late for the Sky, and it somehow made things clear to me, especially the lines: I don't know what I loved in you, I don't know what you loved in me; maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be....
What amazed me then, and still resonates today, is that he and I are the same age, yet he had all this insight to life when he was in his early 20s! I expected to learn life's lessons from my parents and others who had lived long enough to experience how to deal with the difficulties we inevitably run into. How did he get all this life experience at 24?? Kind of made me feel like I was a child and he was the wise old man at the mountaintop. Very grateful for all these tunes, and this video was fabulous!
grown up music for people who have lived a life. My older sister used to play Late for the Sky a lot when i was growing up. Those songs stuck in my head. Later in life as an adult that record (cd) came into my possession and i started to play it after my first marriage fell apart. The songs came alive and i finally understood what he was singing about - adult stuff. They are still beautiful songs. After the Deluge is just brilliant.
Watching this reminds me of why i loved him so much so many years ago and still do to this day. He is a very special song writer/singer/musician. He's just so good! Brilliant.
I saw him 2 years ago in Phoenix. I’ve been in love with him since. Sherry Craft♥️💽🥰
2 years before this concert in 1974
Besides being a great singer, songwriter and entertainer, he had, in his youth, the prettiest lips I've ever seen on a man.
+Mona Stenzel hell yes..had a huge crush on him in the 70's
AMEN sister!!!!😘😘😘
Mona Stenzel aNd hair
I adored him desperately in my youth. I still do. What a stunningly beautiful man, and human being.
Still does! Saw him @ Bethel Woods last Saturday with James Taylor! Both great, but Jackson still my favorite ever!
Hes still doing great until now.Jacksons music will still lives on over and over a decades. Ilove his style of music💙u🎶🎧
David Lindley is absolutely amazing......
What a great composer, musician and singer! I never get tired of his early records.
yes, I have all his albums, I even a demo tape he made in 1967
What about beating up on his girlfriend?
@@rcdowdy LEO's on the scene investigated and confirmed the incident did not happen. Browne denies it, Daryl Hannah denies it, the police deny it and producers of a JFK Jr film that recklessly referenced it pulled it from the film because there was no basis to it.
I have been a huge fan of Jackson for as long as I can remember! His words in his song has helped me through some really hard times. Especially through the death of my husband!! THANK YOU JACKSON BROWNE, I LOVE YOU 💘
Bonnie, I'm SO sorry to hear that you lost your husband. Hope you can get by on the memories that you obviously still have of him. Keep on keepin' on, there, kid! :-)
This is an absolutely brilliant concert.
I wish there were more!
Well worth watching and listening to.
Can't wait to see Jackson back in my Country in the not too distant future.
Love Jo xo
It's actually Jo....LOL @Joc.
Saw him 2 summers ago, his voice was still incredible. He did so much old stuff it was amazing. He still has it, and seems as sweet as we remember him from the late 70's.
All JB's songs move me. His songs have followed me thru so many hardships in my life and so many good times in my life. I call him the love of my life.
There few and far in between that can write their own songs..this is what
I call pure talent...
I'm very glad I saw Jackson Browne in the early to mid 70's. The band and material then was amazingly great. Thanks for posting this video! I wish it was commercially available.
62 now and amazed that I missed the brilliance of Jackson Browne when I was younger. Better late than never...
What gift to be able hear Jackson's concert from 1976 when he was first starting out. Thank you for sharing this. Sound quality and video is amazing. I was never able to have experience a live concert when he was just starting out. I was in junior high and and too young to even be aware of his music till I was in my late teens. This performance is so true to that all the albums I have. It's incredible how he captured the songs from his albums so accurately in these early live concerts. So talented and so ahead of his time profound lyrics that I begin to understand more and more the older I get.
Had a chance to attend concert mississippi collisium. , was working at Treasury drugs my best girlfriend had tickets , but couldn't get another best friend who worked with me to work my shift, found out he decided to take my place and went with deb was hurt. For years but hey could I really blame him! Lol
Jackson Browns is one of the great songwriters of the last half century of the 20th century, and the first 20 years of the 31st!
Jackson is one of Americas' great songwriters. Lindley is one of our greatest stringed instrument musicians and their talents meld together and add to each other and become something even better than when apart. SWEET concert! Thanks!
Late for the Sky...my favorite Jackson Brown tune...and live to boot! Thanks for the upload.
This is a wonderful archive. 1976 was just a kick butt year in general, and especially for music, with Jackson being in the front runners of making music that would impact so many, so profoundly.
I still know all the words to all of these songs, 47 years after first hearing them.
As my friends and I would cherrfully say, "Bring me down, Jackson Browne!!" 😉
This brings back so many memories...the concert was during the fall of my freshman year at CSU in Ft. Collins, CO. There was a small record shop, Finest Records right across the street from my dorm where I got introduced to Jackson Browne and Dan Fogelberg, still my two favorite musicians of all time. As others have said, true poet laureates of their generation, and even of all time, I would argue. If you love Jackson Browne, I highly recommend his two volume acoustic album. Pure magic with lots of life wisdom woven in along the way.
Thanks JB. Your reflections and inspiration helped me on my way back then. Many years of self discovery ensued and 30 years later my one and only child arrived and now has your name.
What a go Guy! Pay tribute to a man well deserved! Peace from South Texas
Thank You......great Jackson Browne concert. He is as close to a modern day prophet as any man can get.
I saw JB at Indiana University in the early 70s. He was the warmup act for Laura Nyro! I became infatuated with his music then, having never heard him before. He was and continues to be a part of music lore.
I saw him 6 days earlier at William and Mary college. I was only 16 and chills went up my spine when he walked on stage! My first of many JB concerts! Orleans opened for him. Those were the good ol' days!
Thank you for sharing we all have. a blessing of being younger. , again. Great music, forever.
Definitely the greatest lyricist of all time
I have been Jackson Browne fan in 32 years until now.
I was only 9 when this concert was held but when I grow up and heard Jackson Browne music I love it , my older brother even brought two album of his song......I always played it when I have friends in our house. LONG LIVE good MUSIC
When he has David with him there's nothing better
True
he's a very Baaaad Man ...
Ha, yeah, I found this video looking for some early footage with Lindley throwing down. That was a pretty magical time in popular music right there.
david lindley was jacksons right hand man. he was half the show. he did a recent album with Jackson. what a fantastic musican
Jackson was a 10 lindley was a 9 , they both amazed me.
Became familiar with Jackson at a concert in 1977 Arcosanti, AZ followed ever since
wow...speechless ... clear and lucid - where have we gone?
An ardent fan. Love his work.
Hello 👋 Geroge
How're you doing.
Thanks for this comment, I'm nothing without fans like you who appreciate my musical craftiness
It's nice meeting you here.
It doesn't get any better than this. 🎉
I met Jackson Browne and Ethan his son and David Lindley and his band backstage at the Syria Mosque in Pittsburgh in 1976. He was on his Pretender tour and I was 18 at the time. Backstage he actually stepped out of a guitar room and ran right into me and asked if I was ok. I have been a lifelong fan of both Jackson and Severin Browne.
76年、17才の私は、日本の片田舎で、何度も何度も繰り返し彼のレコードを聞いていました。ありがとう、ジャクソン！その当時の動画を今、こうして見ることができるなんて！感謝しかありません。
Wow just stumbled upon this. Jackson Browne is such a great songwriter and has featured so many great players on his albums and his touring band. Always great to see him playing live with the great David Lindley. A friend convinced me to go and see him when he was touring The Pretender in Sydney January 1977. I became a lifelong fan after that show. Maria Muldaur opened for him that night and she was great.
I wasn't at this concert, but I still have my ticket stub from his concert that year in Toledo, Ohio. It cost me $7.50 and was well worth the $1.60 minimum wage I was making at Burger Chef! Doctor My Eyes, Running on Empty (tour album) and Stay were highlights from my memory.
+James Simmons Where would he have played at in Toledo at that time, James? Surely not the Sports Arena. UT's Centennial Hall? I can't believe I didn't attend. I recall seeing him at about this time up at what was then called Pine Knob.
Just dug up the ticket. April 14, 1978 at centennial hall. $7.50. Have another sub for Linda ronstadt on aug, 11, 1978.
Jackson was all ready famous from his first album if you traveled in the right musical circles
Caroline your a true Jackson fan !
I was blessed to see JB and Lindley and all their fabulous musicians in concert. Thank you for posting this gold.
I was at this concert but at SMU. A hall that held about 300 people. I left a different person. He took me to an otherworldly church. I was never the same. It wasn't the first time I saw him and it wasn't the last. It was the smallest. I have no words.
