The high-pitched voice is imitating Frank Valli of Frank Valli and the Four Seasons, who did the song "Stay" in 1963, that is why it gets such applause. That line "Oh won't you stay, just a little bit longer", is from that song.
Actually the original version of Stay was by Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs released in 1960 and was written by Williams.The falsetto part was in the original 1960 recording. The Four Seasons version is a cover.
@@pjg58xdidn't know that/ thanks for the info🙂
This whole album is unique in that it was a live album but instead of it being like a greatest hits type live album it was an album of all new material recorded live while on tour. Most songs were recorded in front of a live audience but 1 was recorded on their tour bus and I believe it was 2 tracks were recorded in a hotel room. But it was all new songs. Nobody has ever recorded a live album of all new songs before.
The falsetto Singer is multi-instrumentalist David Lindley, who had a minor hit with his remake of Mercury Blues with his Band El Rayo-X, worthy of a listen in and of itself. David just passed away and was from the Inland Empire region of Southern California.
He could play almost any instrument you handed him.
The original is a guy singing to a girl trying to get her stay a little longer. It's a nice turn to use that and make it about the audience.
The falsetto is by the late, great David Lindley.... a true musical genius who plays all the pedal and slide.
From JB on Davids recent passing - "David is a very large part of me - who I became, and who I remain. No one ever played like him"
That is a lap steel, not a pedal steel. Otherwise, I like your comment.
The first time seeing Jackson Browne early 70`s with Linda Ronstadt, David was hanging off the stage playing his violin within arms reach . Memories!!
Totally agree, he was a musicians musician and a fantastic player...Love his "Crazyl About a Mercury" it's a real banger.
Mercury Blues is fire.
Everyone should check out David's album El Rayo X. GREAT ALBUM! Loved David Lindley.
Unless you lived through this time you have no idea how big a hit this was when it was released. Great job Jackson Browne!
It was massive. Early high school for me. Loved it!
@@chrisbera7952 Was this from the album running on empty?
I still find it hard to believe that there are people that claim to love music that have never heard this ? Of course i am 70 so have heard almost everything.
Give “The Pretender” a listen. Another masterpiece by JB.
Came to the comments to recommend the same! Great choice.
Same album Here Come Those Tears Again. Pretender very good choice, great lyrics.
Gary US Bonds doing the Pretender is incredible
🎯
Late for the sky is a nice one
i was a roadie and stage hand when this came out. special place in my heart. saw him a few years later-this was their encore. RIP David.
12 years doing concert sound... not on the road, only local gigs....but I'm with you.
Me too, I was a lighting guy. In fact, in 1977, one of my first gigs for this one company was a little setup to light a drum kit and a backdrop. It turned out to be the cover for this album.
@@jonathanwyman9402 Very cool!
@@markstoudenmire4935 lol, I actually got to do a lot of way cooler stuff, but I guess this is one of the few that there's evidence for. 😅
@@jonathanwyman9402 Well, as someone who's worked in production for the last 30 plus years, I always like to cheer on fellow crew members who have little surprises like that pop up in their career.
Normally I find musicians' songs about how life on the road is so tough. However, what I like about "The Load Out" is that it celebrates and focusses on the roadies and other crew members.
The load out truly epitomises the difference between the roadies and the stars. It so heartfelt, genuine and gives them all the recognition they deserve just so he can provide the crowd with what they paid for.
This guy and his contemporaries made the music of the '70s awesome.
Up in laurel canyon.
"We got Richard Pryor on the video" captures the era perfectly.
Pryor became a superstar partly because of the boom in technology of home video players.
RIP David Lindley. Was amazing. That's David singing that part.
Rosemary Butler in your ears -- always a good thing. She, Merry Clayton and Arnold McCuller -- the Holy Trinity of backing singers.
I would throw Bonnie Bramlett in with that group.
Gimme Shelter baby.
@@ronnix23 Not as spectacular, but still elite, her contribution to Carole King's Way Over Yonder.
This is a tribute to the "Roadies." The guys and gals that move and set up the sound equipment, guitars and drums, pianos etc. They travel in semi-trucks from city to city, ahead of the Band-artist and get everything ready for the concert, then they have to tear it all down and load it into the trucks again. What a thankless job...until he wrote this song.
the female singer is the legendary Rosemary Butler . try Here Come Those Tears Again - from this same show - you can thank me later
When I am lost in life, which has been many times in the last 50 years. I pop this album on and everything is ok.
_Stay_ was originally recorded in 1960 by Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs. Besides Jackson Browne, it's been covered by The Hollies, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, and others.
Thanks for setting everyone straight. The album even says... and the zodiacs don't mind.... on the back.
David Lindley was playing the lap steel. He was a master of all kinds of stringed instruments and played on everybody’s albums.
I recall an interview with Glenn Frey, co-founder of the Eagles. He and Don Henley were still backing Linda Ronstadt so it was pre-Eagles in California. JB was renting a basement room beneath their apartment and Glenn could listen to JB working on a new song. Time after time, hour after hour, he’d work a line, change keys, inflections, etc. Then the second line same thing. Chorus. Work back and make some changes to match them up better. Do it over and over again until it was all planted in his memory. Glenn said that’s when he learned what it took to be a great songwriter, and all due to JB. His career body of work is the evidence.
LAWYERS IN LOVE, BOULEVARD, RUNNING ON EMPTY, TENDER IS THE NIGHT - so many great songs from Jackson Browne you should hit.
During the 70's bands like this were loaded with super accomplished studio musicians.Jackson Brown, Linda Ronstadt, Carly Simon, James Taylor, Warren Zevon, Etc... All had fantastic bands
Jackson Browne's music was a big part of my formative years. I finally got to see him in the early 90's when I was living in Santa Cruz, CA. There were only two songs in his whole set that didn't have some strong emotional connection or memory for me, and I got teary several times. One of the deepest memories for me was from my high school years in the 70's. I went to Immaculate Heart High in L.A., and during my junior year, one of the students died in a car crash. Her name was Kiki, and she was a stone Jackson Browne fan. The school scheduled a memorial service for her in the school auditorium, and her closest friends went to Jackson's house in Laurel Canyon, and papered his gate with notes begging him to come to the memorial. AND HE DID. He walked in with his guitar, and I still remember her best friend breaking down sobbing, crying "He came! He came!" He played and sang for us and for Kiki, and we were all falling apart listening to him. He didn't have to do that; this was _decades_ before the age of social media, so if he hadn't shown up, no one would have known about it. But he did, and proved himself a straight-up, generous guy.
That is such a bittersweet story, the loss of a classmate and the generosity of a famous musician. I am not shocked at JB coming to play. He strikes me as that kind of human. He was my very favorite singer/songwriter from that time. A friend and I awaited every new album coming out and couldn't wait for our ear's to feast. I saw him in an intimate theater in Boston. He was touring with Linda Ronstadt (I think it was '72, maybe even later). They were taking turns opening for one another. The night I went Linda started and Jackson finished up. It was the best concert I have ever attended.
A sublime artist who I’ve been lucky enough to see twice.JB has been a part of my life for 50 years..The Pretender is my favorite album..a masterpiece written so young
This is one of my favorite songs ever done by Jackson Browne. I listen to it all the time since its release date. Thanks for reacting to this awesome song. Jackson is a true legend.
The story goes that, for a while, the female backup singers did the falsetto bit, although it was done by a male in the original recordings. The band started rehearsing it that way when Jackson wasn't around. One night they sprang it on him live during a show. His first reaction was, "What the Hell is going on?" Then he listened and loved it. They did it that way from then on. They used it as a closer and encore for several years.
I’m 66 And still listening to Jackson Browne, David Linley on slide guitar R.I.P. he also played pedal steel guitar, fiddle. Next due, Something Fine at the old gray whistle test.
The Stay part of this song was actually a cover/remake of Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs 1960 song Stay
Had the opportunity to see Jackson Browne on both coasts, outdoors in California, and indoors in Pennsylvania, and he was right on the spot on both occasions. "The Load Out>Stay" was a highlight of both shows, and Mr. Browne put his all into everything he did each night.
Love, love, love David Lindley (as did Jackson Browne!) An amazing goofball with incredible talent! Lucky to have seen him perform, RIP, David! 😍
David Lindley...so great on slide and vocals. Passed last year.
Great reaction to a band showing appreciation for their fans and roadies-saying even though their gig isn’t all fun, the people and the playing of their music makes it worthwhile. His song the Pretender is a great one! JB has a channel, talked and performed on UA-cam during the Covid lockdown. Great guy.
Dr My Eyes, Love Needs A Heart, That Girl Could Sing are 3 of his very best. Jackson Brown is a genuine modern day bard.
Have to do the studio version of Doctor My Eyes, Jesse Ed Davis does the guitar and in one take
❤ One of the best songs. Can't go wrong with Jackson Browne Love ❤️
he is just that good! simply amazing!
If you've ever seen the movie "Dirty Dancing", the song "Stay" was in it!
Actually, 4 songs on Running On Empty were recorded live on stage, 3 of the songs on the album were recorded in various motel rooms while they were on the road, one song was recorded backstage before a concert, and one song was recorded on a Continental Silver Eagle bus as they were driving down the road. Running On Empty is one of my all time favorite albums.
In my opinion, this is the best song ever by Jackson Browne
As a former touring guitarist I can appreciated the work the road crew does. It take all the pressure off the musician so all they have to concentrate on putting on a great show. Knowing when you walk on stage and pick up your guitar its in tune and your amp is set up the way you need it to be is such a blessing and testiment to how important your support staff is to the show.
The little guitar Sam's talking about is called a lap steel
Lived the life of a stagehand for 5 years brought a tear , best job
"Stay" is a doo-wop song written by Maurice Williams and first recorded in 1960 by Williams with his group the Zodiacs. Commercially successful versions were later also issued by the Hollies, the Four Seasons and Jackson Browne.
Right when you think it's over. You get that. Then another half hour of music. Awesome show.
The original Stay was sung by Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs and has been featured in some 50’s 60’s era movies including Dirty Dancing
Thank you. The eyes are watering. Lots of memories with this one. Good and bad!!!
Iconic performance of a great song that pays tribute to the roadies, the crowds, and the musicians.
You gotta admit, he has great hair!!
San Diego 1978 , saw Jackson Brown and Graham Nash together , epic night
Ooh, I’ll bet that WAS really great! Great combo!
There have been many versions of the song ‘Stay’ originally recorded by Maurice Williams in 1960. Artists such as the Hollies recorded it in the early 60’s Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons!
16 mins long late 1960's IRON BUTTERFLY INAGADADEVIDA
RIP to David Lindley, sang the falsetto and played slide for years with Jackson. Left us March 2023.
I was fortunate enough to see Jackson Brown in concert in San Diego in 1977.
If you’re looking to hit Jackson Browne again, check out The Pretender, beautiful storytelling
The original version of "Stay" by Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs is the shortest song to hit #1. Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons covered it as did many other artists. It's also nice that Rosemary Butler and David Lindley will always have their moment in the sun when people rediscover this performance.
This is easily in my top 3 of live performances to watch. Truly beautiful.
The drummer is Jim Gordon. You know him from Clapton's Layla album and about 1000 other songs. Very talented, very mentally ill. RIP Jim.
I believe that is Russ Kunkel on drums. At least, he is credited as being the drummer on this album. He is also credited with being the drummer on this tour in documentaries, and in interviews with the other members.
@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 this particular performance was the shepherds bush show with Jim Gordon.
bbchron.blogspot.com/2013/09/jackson-browne-and-full-band-1978-bbc.html?m=1
@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 It does kind of look like Jim Gordon, but I have no idea what Russ Kunkel looked like at that time - only recent pics with Immediate Family.
That's Jim Gordon. Kunkel was blond when he had hair
Russ Kunkel had long, straight blonde hair with a receding hairline back then; definitely looks like Jim Gordon.
You can’t go wrong with Jackson Browne!! So many great songs! And this one is still one of my favorites!!
My brother has been a tour driver for almost 20 years and has been everywhere and it is an exhausting job. This is a great tribute to the many hands that go into making a show.
Richard Pryor-great comedian-i would suggest Trip to Africa and his Mafia Story.
Jackson Browne is incredible, hes so underrated in my opinion, his music is always incredible

You may remember 'Stay' from Dirty Dancing - the original by Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs
David Lindley was an icon in the rock world..everybody wanted him to play with them. Jackson Browne..well an institution.
I'm glad you're going down this rabbit hole. Love JB Please Doctor My Eyes Next?
In the Shape of a Heart,,,, by Jackson Browne
JB is the consummate musician, a pro's pro. You can't go wrong with anything by him. The Pretender, For A Dancer, BeforeThe Deluge, and many more... Thanks for the reaction.
Love this song & love Jackson Browne - so much great music!
Back in Jackson’s early days he co-wrote “Take It Easy” with Glenn Frey of the Eagles, and it ended up being the first Eagles hit.
The term "slide guitar" usually refers to a regular guitar played with a slide. The instrument played here is called a "lap steel" due to how it is played across the lap. It too is played with a slide though so the confusion is understandable. Lap steel guitars are usually tuned to open chords and the slide changes which chord (G, C, A, etc.) is played. There is also a "pedal steel" which is on a stand and has knee and foot levers to change the type of chord (major, minor, 7th, etc.) and also played with a slide.
Last song on Running on Empty album. Essential listening.
STILL brings tears to my eyes.
Absolutely love this song. Such a great song about muscians being on the road and their tribute to their roadies and fans. Can never go wrong with Jackson Browne. Warms my heart that you young ones are experiencing such classic great music 🙂
JACKSON BROWNE:
"Here Come Those Tears Again"
"Load Out" goes deep from the very first note. All I need is him and his piano.
And maybe that Slide!
My older late older brother who was 14 years older than I saw him together live in 1979. Jackson Browne gives one of the most legendary performances live you'll ever see! He's fantastic.
Interestingly enough, Browne started writing songs as a teenager, and started his musical career as a member of the "Nitty Gritty Dirt Band". He spent a brief time in NYC before returning to his native California, where he was a part of that west-coast vibe that included Linda Ronstadt, the Eagles, Gregg Allman, and others. He actually co-wrote "Take It Easy" with Glenn Frey, and he introduced Frey and Don Henley to Ronstadt, and they ended up joining her band initially, before branching off to start the Eagles. He never wanted to record his own music, thinking that his voice wasn't good enough, but was finally convinced to write and record his own music, and the rest is history. He's widely-known as being an amazing songwriter, and he was also known jokingly throughout his career as the "6th Eagle". In fact, he performed with the Eagles at the Grammy's in their tribute to Glenn Frey after his passing, singing the lead on "Take It Easy".
It was a great album and tour. Was fortunate to see it live. Yes I am that old.
They don't do such good music anymore!!!❤️
👏 for all the roadies!
After being on tour with several bands, this song was solely for thr roadies without which there would be show. It also pints out the loneliness and boredom of being on the road all the time. But as long as the audience wants to "Stay" it is golden.
RIP David Lindley. The music world lost an absolute musical genius. If it had strings, David could play it better than most. His work with El Rayo X. I recommend listening to Crazy about Mercury live to experience his mastery.
The unique thing about the Running on Empty album is that every song on the album was a new release. Most of the live records by other artists are of studio songs played live. There are no duplicates on this album. All new.
The song by Maurice Williams was in the movie Dirty Dancing. I love all of the versions of this song.
The singer you recognized Sam is David Lindley!
“The Barricades of Heaven” is a great song by Jackson Browne.
You cannot go wrong with Jackson Browne.
You'll LOVE Jackson Brown's "Fountain of Sorrow," try it next.
The Song "Nothing but Time" was actually Recorded on a Bus, there are times when you can hear the gesrs shifting
Stay is such a easy chord progression. However a great musician can play something thats easy and turn it into a masterpiece. A masterpiece is what this song is.
one of the all time greatest performance
Jackson Browne is fantastic!!
The band on the Running on Empty tour was The Section; Danny Kortchmar: guitar, Craig Doerge: keyboards, Russ Kunkel: drums, and Leland Sklar: bass. According to an article in Rolling Stone magazine, the band had never played The Load Out all the way through before playing it as part of an extended encore at the Merriweather Post Pavilion.
Slide guitar ... piano ... synthesizer... What a great juxtaposition, in one song (or is it two)
Jackson later had a hit Somebody's Baby featured prominently in the film Fast Times At Ridgemont High, 1982
Jackson got stuck when writing the lyrics at this line, “Well I’m a standing on a corner in Winslow Arizona, it’s such a fine sight to see”. Glen Frey finished it with “It’s a girl my lord, in a flatbed Ford, slowing down to take a look at me”. He gave the song to the Eagles, the rest is history.
A casual AI-assisted search shows that the Frankie Valli version of "Stay" has been in the following movies: "Dirty Dancing," "Mrs. Doubtfire," "The Deer Hunter," "Conspiracy Theory," and "The Wanderers." Another source, WhatSong, points only to "Jersey Boys."
As another touring/local hand, definitely a great homage to the crew.
"But we'll be scheduled to appear/A thousand miles away from here..." the late david lindley channelling his inner frankie valli...
Great reaction Sam and Phil! Get the Load Out/Stay are my favorite songs Jackson Browne sang back in the 70’s. They bring back lots of memories.
Now you have done Jackson Browne, and James Taylor! You need to try Dan Fogleburg with Leader of the Band, or Run for the Roses ! Both great songs !
Jackson Browne was my first concert in Memphis Tennessee!
You two are gonna flip for this one! Trust me...😉
