- This outtake is the first of many from the Immediate Family Documentary. www.immediatefamilyfilm.com Over the years of filming there are interviews you hate to lose in the final film. I find this one to be one of those. Jackson Browne, James Taylor, Carole King, Danny Kortchmar and Steve Postell talking about creating over the years. If you would like to see these out takes 'sooner than later', please sign up on www.immediatefamilyfilm.com. And look for the nearest screening. Or join our youtube channel / @immediatefamilyfilm
Browne is still my all time fav.
He has more energy to play live than i do to listen .
Very interesting interview. My great aunt finished college at the age of 65 and she learned to drive. She didn't let age stop her.
I still have goals that I'm not giving up on. Thanks Ruby. Please share.
Not long ago, I was 19, 21, 31, 41, 51, rushing off to their incredible concerts!!! 🙆🏼♀️ And now, I am actually 68?... NO WAY!!!! 🙈
Carol King nailed it, saying... "I never THOUGHT we'd be this old!!!" How true!!! Geeze!!!... How did time fly past us so quickly? 🙊
@parisbest105 - How odd! I ALWAYS knew she’d get “old” and you and me too. What did you think would happen?
Thanks for this. I’m loving watching/listening to James Taylor, David Gilmour, Mark Knopfler and Donald Fagen. 🍾❤️
Some of my favorite musicians. Still love hearing them, seeing them. They have and continue to enrich my life with their music. So many amazing memories attached to the music. I have deep gratitude that they have followed their hearts and are teaching us the same by still creating.
Thank you.🙏🎶🤍
Hello Cynthia, Thank you for being a fan of my music and I pray you never stop listening to my songs
Been playing the blues for 40 plus years now. Like fine wine, hopefully getter better with age. Love these artists. Especially J.T.
Some of these older performers can still knock it out of the park. Bravo! Unfortunately, many of them can no longer deliver a reasonable facsimile of what they used to be and they should recognize this.
Your Music 🎶 is soothing to my soul 😌 I hope to hear your music forever. ✌️💖😊🙏
This is beautiful. Aging is not for the fearful. LOL.
Keep on strummin'...you all are my inspiration and joy!
My ear bends to a well crafted song, a catchy hook, an unexpected lift and a great groove. All of these cats in the Wrecking Crew and the Immediate Family and the people they played with have been living rent free in my little brain since the 60's. Thanks to Danny Tedesco for making the Wrecking Crew movie as well as The Immediate Family movie project. My personal connection was getting a chance to meet the infamous Leland Sklar during a tour supporting Judith Owen. It was a master class in performance! The only question I have is will there be a limited run on bowling ball shirts! I am in possession of a Wrecking Crew shirt!
"Better NOW than they ever were!" THAT says it all, Jackson! And you guys ARE! Keep on keeping on! WE love hearing you!👍
Hello Debbie, Thank you for being a fan of my music and I pray you never stop listening to my songs
Music ! It's in these guys' blood and DNA ! Living ,breathing ,playing ,composing ,doing ,entertaining ,enjoying and loving and practising ! That's the essence of Music for me ! Oh ,and I forgot to mention pedigree ! That's what I mean by being in the blood .
Why should you be less creative at 70 then you were at 22? You’ve got so much more to work with now. I’m still making discoveries every day. Yes, some things may be more difficult physically, but how much does that matter? Many younger guitar players are incredible technicians, but they aren’t all that good because they are ONLY technicians.
After 30 years I lost the spark. Lost partners in music and the River changed course. There used to be a drive, a urgency...miss that aspect of it..
insightful and inspiring, thanks for hangin in, us boomers still love our music/artists
Thank you for been a loyal fan of Mine
John Cale seems to keep sounding fresh and full of ideas at his age. He never thinks of retirement.
I saw Jack Hickman at the AfterGlow in Cudahy before he hit it big. That was a gift.
Precious 💕
Everyone's earned the right to do what they want. We can decide to pay to see them or not .
I disagree. I was a serious jazz player for 50 years. I taught at the prestigious Berklee College and studied with the world famous vibist Gary Burton. My hands developed tremors and I simply could not trust my technique any more. My teacher, Gary, had a small stroke which caused him to lose a lot of the musical skill he needed to perform at a professional level. Both of us stopped playing at about the same time and now lead happy fulfilling "post-playing" lives. Some players can go on forever, but some give it up like - Rihanna, Bon Jovie, and jazz great Stan Levey
Like elite athletes, musical performers all have a "sweet spot" in their lives. These are wonderful times for them and for us, but like matter itself, they fade and die.
Cool 😎. 👍🤪🏳️🌈
I mean I guess yinz could use crayons and color something nice til it’s time to sing again and who is singing while they are coloring probably the kid that said he quit 😂
Carol King…a great song writer…who had no business singing. She was always vocally weak and awkward.
Gibberish
has Jackson Browne beat up any girlfriends lately?
These interviews are so very important. Historically entertaining.
thanks, Dave. Please share the film with others. Best
Denny
Truer words have not been spoken, the day you think you’ve mastered it, is the day you need to give it up.
Carol looks great
For us ole amateurs and especially those like me who took up the hobby late in life, we need encouragement like this. America is not kind to the arts or older people.
You are SO right!! 😩
These cats are all very cool and influential...
But it's a different world now.
Can you imagine a seventeen-year-old pounding out "Up On The Roof?"
Or a junkie creating "Mud Slide Slim?" (with Kootch)
Or some kid hanging with Glen Frey writing "Taking It Easy?"
Times are different.
The music industry has dissolved into a puddle of sh$t..
Bless the sixty survivors. Love 'em all.
Peace on earth.
It's kind of heartbreaking seeing your hero's aging but... Hell I'm aging too & fast 😆 lol. But the music lives forever.
I saw JT and Jackson last summer and was beyond impressed at how wonderful they both sounded. Last month I saw Johnny Mathis. He is 87, travels with a full orchestra and his voice is unchanged. Two weeks ago I saw Diana Ross. Her voice was better than I expected, though she gets lots of help from her background singers. However, her ability to wrap an audience around her finger and the love fest that ensues was so much fun to witness.
Wow, I didn't know Johnny Mathis was still living!
@@karenshaw7807 Hello Karen shaw , if you are receiving this message it means you are a true fan and I want to say a big thanks for your love and support towards me and my career all through the years of my life, sending love to you and yours.
For the fans it's sometimes emotional and painful to watch the performers we grew up with play live but we still go to the shows to support them and mark things off our bucket list. Each time their voice wavers or can't hit the note it's not so much disappointing as it is a reminder of what's happening to us and our own mortality. We didn't mind too much when they were too drunk or stoned to make the music sound like the record when they were young it was exciting just to be there and that feeling still exists. It's an event that you share with your partner and friends and remember all the crazy crap that happened at the shows when we were younger too. My wife and I when to see Tom Petty because we expected that to be our last chance to see him and sure enough it was.
So how was the Tom Petty concert? I hope you and your wife enjoyed yourselves!!! I saw him in 1990 & it was great
@@Suzanimal_316 It was fantastic. Half way through we got rained on but everyone stayed while the band took a break and when the rain stopped they came back out and rocked the place again. I wrote a song about the trip. Check out “Going To See Petty” by Frank Coffey on TH-cam. In the song I also describe the time I saw him in the 90s in Dallas. That was when the stage had the big tree and the steamer trunk.
Am praying the same won't apply to my last Willie concert. They sure don't make many true musicians like this these days.
I am a muso, and singer and one thing is for sure, you lose perfect pitch, don't care what anyone says they all struggle and you can hear it in their voices, from JB to Paul McCartney , voices gone, I am still tossing up whether to spend $300 to see JB on a Tuesday night here in Perth Aussie and listen to his cracked voice
Well Jackson.... a lot of us have played gigs for 50 years in addition to having a day job. They are not mutually exclusive. In fact, for most musicians, having a day job is a good idea, in light of the craziness of the music business. The stability of having a day job, means not being at the mercy of the sharks in the music business. Remember that 99% of dedicated musicians are not famous people. Yes, we do it because we love it.
love jackson brownes music but there is something in his way of speaking that is a mite desultory to others not of his stature
@@williamparker1085 you’re too sensitive like most humans “these days”.
I am inspired by Danny K. giving his take on why musicians keep going. Getting older hurts , your hands really start to complain, but at least your heart feels good. I feel that vibe of wanting to play. As anyone who has hit sixty knows, you only have your will to support doing things. Music is one of those things.
Just caught a Jackson Browne show couple weeks ago and he was AMAZING!💋💋
Hello , Thank you for being a fan of my music and I pray you never stop listening to my songs
@@jacksonbrowne2220 what?! You were awesome in Walla Walla hope to see you again!! Keep rock’in ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
@@shizzle7642 Really looking forward, how long have you been a fan
I thank all of you for creating music that has meaning to you, and by extension to all of us who were open to your ideas. At 68 years of a age, and at the top of my game after working with digital color and design for 39 years I complete identify with what you all had to say. If the creative spark in you is still a force to be reckoned with, the power and meaning of what you choose to create only grows exponentially. You made my day!
Beautiful history, beautiful depiction of what it takes to achieve fulfillment of your musical dreams.Work.
We are fortunate people(fans)to be able to witness,in real time over the years, fabulous artists that converted our common thoughts into music.
We are really looking forward to the release of Denny Todesco's feature documentary on TIF.
Leland Sklar must also be mentioned and credited here for his amazing U Tube series on his take on the history of the Immediate Family.
Everything they said is so true.
You may be old but you are "SOLID GOLD!"
What each of these artists are describing is the later chapters of being human and moving from young agility of performing to embodying Spirit and infusing it into their art. What an Inspired perspective ✨
JT & JB - forever❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello Judi, Thank you for being a fan of my music and I pray you never stop listening to my songs
Ya gotta live, there ain’t nothing else to do.🤣
Just love these artists!. These are the artists I grew up with.
I don't like that I am old... but... here I am.... so... I am just doing it still.... yes
Giants all.
The Music is great................... LOSE THE POLITICS
YOU ALL ABSOLUTELY STILL HAVE THE MAGIC!!!... MORE THAN EVER!!! AS ALL YOUR #1 LIFELONG FAN, I KNOW!!! 🙆🏼♀️
I quit having Birthdays! But now my children are older than me....
I'm just an avid recreational player and as I approach 70 years of age I can totally relate to the "about to make a breakthrough" comment. The search for improvement never gets old. It remains exciting and fun and as I see it, it helps to keep me sharp mentally,.
Love every one of these musicians. They helped to produce the memories of my life. Thank God I was born in 1960.
Yes! 1955 here!
If you play, my cane and I will listen.
Hello Dorothy, Thank you for being a fan of my music and I pray you never stop listening to my songs
♥♥
Hello Pam, Thank you for being a fan of my music and I pray you never stop listening to my songs
Heard similar talk from aging athletes-they have lost some physical abilities but, have made up for it with mental acuity
Trumpet player Doc Severinsen just played his last and final concert at Age 95! Will he stop playing the trumpet? Never! I believe he will play as long as he can lift the trumpet to his face! I believe it is the trumpet that enabled Doc Severinsen to live so many years. I remember hearing Frank Sinatra sing in his 70s; it was his best singing ever! As we age we become part of the music! We perform for the love of the music.
I think ageing artists must become more health conscious and perform hormonal replacement and exercise, as this may give them an unexpected second life.
Best to age like wine, not vinegar .
Danny Korchmar is absurdly underrated: fell in love with his live playing with James and Carole on the 2007 "Live at the Troubadour" album. Great collection of musicians that have stood by those two legends.
I’m in my 46th year playing and singing around Seattle in clubs. I had a job too but I still rock and I’m as good as ever at 70! Stay limber, keep movin and keep rockin !
Carole ans Jacksonn both right . I Never thought I'd be this old and what happens is much more profoumd. It all means so much more. It is a calling abd you just do what matters, you don't quit, you do what you have to do for just one more precious moment.
after 30 youre done. Just a cover band of yourself. people their age dont make hit records. They just live off what they did as kids
This film will never screen in my home town near Tampa. I wish that I could screen it on my desktop already. This is not a brand new film...
The ones that last are the ones that count ! Their vibe, their message, their passion, conviction, desire shine through. James Taylor, Jackson Browne, Graham Nash, to mention a few, have been inspiring us, healing us, RAISING THE VIBRATION OF HUMANITY ! God Bless them all. This world sure needs uplifting !!
When you see someone in concert at 15 years old...you run with them. Loved them then, love them now. My kids grew up listening, they know the music. Keep on playing!
Some of these guys have lost some mental acuity. The ones that have it mentally really do sound good. I thought Carole was great on tour with James recently.
People get ready because that kid wrote that song 100 years so perseverance and whatever it takes within reason
I don't play as fast as I used to, but I think I play better!
Lee Sklar rules!
Let’s end ageism for all including our talented musicians.
Like a fine wine better with age … not dead yet …🎶 music 🎵 🎸
TELOMERASE THERAPY FOR ALL! CLINICAL TRIALS NOW!
Wow, yeah keep doing it!! Love it.
This Documentary is something I'm really looking forward to watching! Love them all and they truly do sound and play better than ever! With Wisdom and Patience and I feel there's something vulnerable and valuable in that.❤
Hello Theresa, Thank you for being a fan of my music and I pray you never stop listening to my songs
@@jacksonbrowne2220Never will stop listening to you!❤🎶❤
@@DMBGirl1234 Okay Theresa, how long have you been a fan of my music
@@jacksonbrowne2220 my entire Life. I'm the youngest of eight. Siblings would put those big headphones over my little ears to Lullaby Me to Sleep with JB. Funny yet True Story!❤🎶
@@DMBGirl1234 Wow that so wonderful I really do appreciate all the love and support you have given me all this years I’m so grateful to have such fans like you
your soul grows
Love this!
I have been a guitar player since 1974 I always loved James Taylor and Carole King on my finger style guitarist Chyna play like Chad Atkins but nowhere near as good but it’s true I play what I want to play because I don’t want to waste my time I’m not getting any younger and I want to enjoy my music I love playing guitar it’s my companion and my best friend but people like James Taylor and Carole King were a great contribute to society I love all my 60s and 70s rock and rollers I listen to this kind of music all the time and it’s a lot of what I play now pretty close to 70 and still playing I get a lot of pleasure out of it and if you don’t keep doing it has a say if you snooze you lose yes I’m a old Rock and roller soft rock I love some hard rock I love to but I will keep playing until I can’t play anymore by that time I will be long gone from this world but I want to say thank you you guys were great and steel lower and Jackson Browne you did a lot of work with the Eagles and you were also a very talented man love you all and still listen to you all to this day👍🏼👍🏼🎼🎶🎸💖❤️😅
My musical hobby never really took off in the early 90s. I play guitar. I was NEVER good with people & that's what it takes to play in a band. After having some bad experiences & letting doors close, it bothered me for awhile. But as i got older, i just let it go so i could move on in life. Nowadays I still enjoy playing & learning chords on my own whenever I have time. My oldest son recently is learning to play guitar. I told him from my experience if he ever wants to be in band is to try to get along with people. It's always good to be a great player & practice but the main thing is it's about being around people too, if a person is heading in that direction. If a person is a one man band, well that's a completely different situation.
I never thought you'd age either. It makes me so sad when another star dies. And when I think of when I die, i think about how much I will missd the music. i grew up with all of you. You shaped my life. Thank you!
Great clip. Been playing live for over 30 years and am just as driven as I was in my 20's but way more focused on what matters and doing music I love to do on this side of raising kids.
This is so true! During the past decade, I've seen both Peter Frampton and Stevie Nicks in concert. Each time I see them, they get better and better. Actually so much better than the early years.
I see zero point in ageism, re musicians. Artist develop, as the get older. Simple.
I would like to thank each, and everyone of them for continuing to play! I have enjoyed all of their work, my entire life!
This goes for anything in life. If you love it, you just get better and deeper. I was nursed after an operation by a 65 year old nurse and his abilities as a healer were extraordinary.
Imagine playing the same set of songs again and again, not that cool.
Great interview
Hello 👋 Gloria
how're you doing
Comments like this are priceless, Thank you❤️
it's nice meeting you here
Passionate and ❤ for others is the strings of life
Hello 👋 Joe
how're you doing
Comments like this are priceless, Thank you❤️
it's nice meeting you here
So true...after 25 you begin to go deeper. I would say that you are still growing up until age 45 or so....I loved these interviews. You don't quit!!
Hello Dorina, Thank you for being a fan of my music and I pray you never stop listening to my songs
Old hippies make me sick
How could you support that stooge, dindong jb. Used to follow your music but just threw your lp out I bought in 70's . . .ugh!
There are certain songs an 80 year old singer songwriter should stay away from. For example a chanced upon a video on TH-cam of Paul McCartney and Chrissy Hynde singing “ Oh Darling” now… Paul’s vocal acrobatics on the Abbey Road Album with that song were extraordinary it damn near ruined his voice then ! So along he comes live at Wembly attempting it at age 80 ! Needless to say I was so embarrassed for him I had to click away. Nothing against Paul but he just doesn’t have that voice at 80 anymore.
Classic case of repetition breeding security.
I tend to disagree. Just like JT said on his album Flag, "The job takes a young man." Not that I don't love them playing i to old age, but there's something about a young, hungry artist that can glean out the gold.
I see both sides. Young and old. They all bring something.
I don't want to see this generation of musicians go 🥲
They've contributed so much to music and to this world that I don't feel we're up to the task of taking over, and that scares me.
We as the younger generations need to ensure that their work stand the test of time.
