... as far as I know, Jackson Browne is the only Musician humble enough to write & perform a song thanking "The Roadies" for all of the work they do in setting things up and tearing things down for the Band. Take care Harri... Cheers...
Apparently during the covid lockdown they obviously couldn't play live, so jackson paid all of the musicians and roadies full wage out of his own pocket!. In my opinion the greatest singer/ songwriter of all. I've been a huge fan since I was 12 years old. Please come to England again ASAP!!
100% agreed. THE greatest singer songqriter ever. Nobody can hold a candle to Late For The Sky, The Pretender, For Everyman, Running On Empty, Hold Out.
David Lindley, The really high falsetto. Who played for Jackson Browne for years also Linda Ronstadt and many others, and formed his own band his own band David Lindley and El Rayo X.
The falsetto near the end is sung by David Lindley, who plays the "lap steel" which has that country sound. The female vocalist is Rosemary Butler. Both of them hit it out of the park.
Young man. I am a 64 year old musician. I watch a lot of reaction videos and you're the first I've seen applaud and give a standing ovation. This was my first time watching one of your videos but you have a new fan and a new subscriber. Peace!
I sat in the 4th row at the Civic Auditorium in Omaha during Jackson Browne's Running On Empty tour. He ended the show with this song. We were on our feet!
Jackson is one of my favorite musicians love him. Saw him with Bonnie Raitt at the tower theater outside Philly. Acoustic guitars it was Awsome love Bonnie too. Might see if he’s playing in Atlantic City this summer. My family has a seashore house and we love going to go to concerts. Now my sons are 32 and 41 they love my music. Love going with them. Great memories!
This whole album is one of the most beautiful and under rated albums. The whole thing is a document. And perfect all the way through.!! Recorded all while on tour in some way.some in hotel room some in green room some in concert . One even on t😮he " silver eagle." Bus. Hear it in background
The entire album was about life on the road. Running On Empty is one of the best albums of the 1970s. Rosie, the title track,, The Load Out/Stay, You Love the Thunder.... - front to back it's lovely.
Jackson Brown songs I love: Rock Me on the Water The Pretender Tender is the Night Your Bright Baby Blues Linda Paloma Love needs a Heart Well to be honest, there is not one that dont love.
This is such a great tribute by Jackson Browne to the guys that work so hard for so little because they just love being a part of it. I truly love this performance. Such a fantastic "every man's" songwriter.
@@b1bmsgt Most of the roadies making minimum wage are LOCAL and hired by the venue. It helps if you know what you're talking about. The traveling roadies make good money.
Thanks for taking me back to 1978. When I’m listening to the music of the day, I don’t feel one day older than I did then. (This avatar pic is me in 1976. I know, I’m showing my age! I actually saw the Bee Gees Live in 1979 in Providence, R. I.)
This was recorded live at the beautiful outdoor venue of Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland during the summer of 1977 or 1978. I was working a summer job at the box office both those years and had the privilege of seeing this performance live from 7th row center seats. Incredible!
What a beautiful time for music.. that early 70s , Los Angeles, singer song writer scene was the deepest ever. Jackson brown, the eagles, Fleetwood mac, linda rondstat.. the list goes on and on.. . Poetry and deeply introspective lyrics set to world class music . I know folks say this all the time... but compare the top 10 songs of 1975 to the songs of 2021-22... w.a.p. was number 1 for 6 weeks. Sad
My introduction to Jackson Browne was in 1974 and I was snowed in (blizzard) at a drilling rig in Quebec and I had 2 cassette tapes left by a co-worker - Jackson Browne & For Everyman. I have been a dedicated fan ever since and I can never get enough of his music.
Actually, The Load Out is about what are called the “Roadies”, or Road Crew that sets up all of the equipment, instruments, assorted lighting, etc before the show and then tears it all down and packs everything up after the show. The Roadies travel with the band throughout the tour on buses and by air. They are the unsung hero’s of every band’s tour and Jackson dedicated this song to all of them.
You know an artist is well known when the crowd cheers after only a few notes played. I've seen Jackson a few times in concert. He's still one of my favorite artists as is Bob Seger. Their music has gotten me through a lot of life. ♪♫
20 yrs ago or so. I'd sing with the radio when this came on the radio. If my dog was around it would look at me funny as I went Falsetto my now EX-wife said it was in harmony as well. That dog would go NUTS.
Thank you for acknowledging the “Stay” tribute to Frankie Valli! I’ve listened to a few “reaction “ videos of this wonderful song (one of my all-time favorites). And, you are the ONLY one who actually knows the origin of the unique vocal style of “Stay “. I love you for that and your thoughtful review. ❤😉
Harri, you nailed it . I've seen reacters who don't have a clue what this song (or the falsetto) is about. They seem to think David Lindley is trying to sound female. They may not have the history to know who Franky Valle and the four seasons were. Jackson wrote the Eagles' first hit "Take It Easy", and collaborated on many others.
Jackson Browne is such an exquisite talent. Beautiful voice, great pianist and amazing songwriter. And he wrote a lot of fantastic material when he was still in his teens and early twenties. Just wonderful stuff. Great choice!🌺✌️
This has always been my favorite song by him...Paying tribute to the people that set up everything before and after his shows...And the band too...And the audience.
Jackson Browne accidentally contributed to the Eagles early success. He wrote the song "Take it Easy" but didn't quite finish it. Glen Frey heard him working on the song and kept pressuring him to finish it but Jackson didn't - he had too many other songs he was working on. Glen asked him if he was going to finish it for his next album and Jackson told him it wouldn't be ready. He told Glen to take the song and finish it for the Eagles album. That is what Glen did and it became one of the Eagles first hits.
Jackson Browne is a friend of Don Henley and the late Glenn Frey, RIP. The 3 used to live near each other back in the 1970s. JB has written many good songs. 👍 This is 1 of them. 😃 His debut album was released 50 years ago 🎂 Suggested video 📹 Somebody's Baby 👶. From the movie 🎥 Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Released 40 years ago 🎂
For context, the song 'Stay' was written and recorded by Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs in 1960. Jackson Browne changes a few lyrics to fit his purpose and makes for a great melodic segue one song into another. Here's link to the original Zodiacs recording th-cam.com/video/P2BJUGJR5fw/w-d-xo.html Thanks for posting Harri, all the best!
Jackson Brown is one of those artists, like Ms. Aretha, whom you just don't turn the channel on, or turn the radio off when they're on. You just don't.
Was in that biz for 10 years. Got to do a couple shows with him after Running on Empty came out. Those of us that did all the behind the scenes work for these shows really loved this song. Spot on.
I'm going to NYC in July to see Jackson. I've been to 100's of concerts but have never seen him live. I go to NYC about every two years to see a special concert. The Covid lockdown had me on hold, so I'm real excited to get back to NYC for his show.
He is a beautiful singer/songwriter/performer. I was so blessed to see him with Joe Walsh in Santa Fe NM at a No Nks concert when I was 16 yrs old back in 1981. I had been a fan since I was a young girl because my sister had all of his albums and took me with her to that concert. His voice is so haunting, and I believe it's because it's a real picture of his heart. Thanks for this great reaction video!
There's a video out there somewhere about The Eagles. I believe Glenn Frey said he used to live above Jackson Browne and he would lay on the floor and listen as Jackson banged out songs and wrote new stuff on his piano and he (Glenn) learned a lot about writing hit songs that way. Pretty neat stuff.
It’s definitely two songs. In fact a while a go you reviewed another version of “Stay” by a different artist. And I, and many others, left comments about this version by Jackson Browne, suggesting that you check it out. And now that you have, you can see what all the fuss was about.
When you check out "Running On Empty" do the live version from around the same time as this one. It's the quintessential version, full of energy and the band having a great time.
perhaps the only star ever to give a musical kudos to his roadies
... as far as I know, Jackson Browne is the only Musician humble enough to write & perform a song thanking "The Roadies" for all of the work they do in setting things up and tearing things down for the Band.
Take care Harri... Cheers...
Apparently during the covid lockdown they obviously couldn't play live, so jackson paid all of the musicians and roadies full wage out of his own pocket!.
In my opinion the greatest singer/ songwriter of all. I've been a huge fan since I was 12 years old.
Please come to England again ASAP!!
That’s heartwarming. Thank you.
100% agreed. THE greatest singer songqriter ever. Nobody can hold a candle to Late For The Sky, The Pretender, For Everyman, Running On Empty, Hold Out.
No it’s two songs. Stay by Maurice Williams and the Zodiac’s was recorded in 1960, but Jackson Browne weaves them together seamlessly.
That's the beautiful, powerful and fabulous Rosemary Butler singing back up.
David Lindley falsetto
He's saluting the roadies!!!
A genius song…and he has a genius song called “ The Pretender”… Fire.
Yes, “The Pretender” …. Wonderful ❤️
David Lindley, The really high falsetto. Who played for Jackson Browne for years also Linda Ronstadt and many others, and formed his own band his own band David Lindley and El Rayo X.
The falsetto near the end is sung by David Lindley, who plays the "lap steel" which has that country sound. The female vocalist is Rosemary Butler. Both of them hit it out of the park.
Yes they did !
Yep, seems almost like Lindley can play any stringed instrument you set in front of him. He is a genius.
David Lindley, Jackson Browne's secret weapon.
David Lindley - Mercury Blues!
David never gets enough credit
Jackson Browne is one of the greatest songwriter/singers of all time and he surrounded himself with some of the best performers you will ever hear
Magnificent! Jackson Browne songs are soooo good!!
The complete album is a tour album. A document. 🎸💕☮
Love this tribute to the roadies.
Young man. I am a 64 year old musician. I watch a lot of reaction videos and you're the first I've seen applaud and give a standing ovation. This was my first time watching one of your videos but you have a new fan and a new subscriber. Peace!
This song is the relationship between musicians and their audience -- and I have loved it since the beginning!!
I sat in the 4th row at the Civic Auditorium in Omaha during Jackson Browne's Running On Empty tour. He ended the show with this song. We were on our feet!
Jackson is one of my favorite musicians love him. Saw him with Bonnie Raitt at the tower theater outside Philly. Acoustic guitars it was Awsome love Bonnie too.

jackson deserves a standing O - i saw him in 1977 and 78 at tanglewood in lenox massachusetts - great memories.
The entire album was about life on the road. Running On Empty is one of the best albums of the 1970s. Rosie, the title track,, The Load Out/Stay, You Love the Thunder.... - front to back it's lovely.
This is the kindest song ever written.
Rosemary Butler and David Lindley! What a great song and Band!
Harri, other classics from this great singer/songwriter- "Running On Empty", "Doctor, My Eyes" and "The Pretender" !!
Lives in the Balance, Lawyers in Love,
Late for the sky.
Before The Deluge and Somebodies Baby
These are all great. Jackson B. Has a very unique voice and style. More please!
He wrote a couple for the Eagles I believe too. Could be wrong , I know he was close with those guys.
The fact that people have never heard these songs is always what tickles me. Todays music holds nothing to these days, so glad you are finding it.
Jackson Brown one of the best lyricists
Jackson Brown songs I love: Rock Me on the Water
The Pretender
Tender is the Night
Your Bright Baby Blues
Linda Paloma
Love needs a Heart
Well to be honest, there is not one that dont love.
This is such a great tribute by Jackson Browne to the guys that work so hard for so little because they just love being a part of it. I truly love this performance. Such a fantastic "every man's" songwriter.
He gave propers to the ROADIES! This is the kind of guy Jackson Browne is. Do more, “running on empty”, “the pretender”, “ dr. my eyes”…☮️❤️
Here Come Those Tears Again , from this same show , is another good one - as is the entire show !
The female backup singer is Rosemary Butler.
What a classic!!!!!!!
Jackson Browne loved his roadies so much , he immortalized them in a hit song
...and paid them minimum wage...
@@b1bmsgt Nope that is his managers
When I saw him in London, mid 80s, a couple of roadies joined him on stage to sing 'Rosie'
@@b1bmsgt Most of the roadies making minimum wage are LOCAL and hired by the venue. It helps if you know what you're talking about. The traveling roadies make good money.
@@ffjsb Well, that’s good to know. I always liked JB but that line always bugged me a little. Thanks for the clarification!
One of my absolute favorite singers!
Jackson Browne is a great song writer and singer. Oh love you're reactions.
Thanks for taking me back to 1978. When I’m listening to the music of the day, I don’t feel one day older than I did then. (This avatar pic is me in 1976. I know, I’m showing my age! I actually saw the Bee Gees Live in 1979 in Providence, R. I.)

Great memory! Thanks for sharing!
Loved the MPP when I was stationed in MD. Saw a lot of concerts there.
I was at that concert too.
I attended this concert-definitely did not disappoint!!
Just great one of my all time favorites
Gives me goosebumps every time they go into Stay. Jackson Browne always transports me back to the 70's
My goosebump line is when he says to make sure everything else is packed and ready to go "before you come for my piano."
I saw him in 1978 in Cincinnati. He has so many great songs.
What a beautiful time for music.. that early 70s , Los Angeles, singer song writer scene was the deepest ever. Jackson brown, the eagles, Fleetwood mac, linda rondstat.. the list goes on and on.. .

Running on empty, In the shape of a heart gotta be next please. Jackson Brown has lots of great songs
Thank you as always for your comments and channel. Love it. All his stuff is good keep digging my friend 😊
Best concept album ever!
Still ... goosebumps.
Tender is the night, In the shape of a heart, Running on empty

I really like how he gives a shout out to the road crew who are there first and the last to leave.
One of my favorite songs ❤
20 yrs ago or so. I'd sing with the radio when this came on the radio. If my dog was around it would look at me funny as I went Falsetto my now EX-wife said it was in harmony as well. That dog would go NUTS.
Lolll
So many great songs by JB. Try The Pretender, Before the Deluge, For a Dancer, Doctor My Eyes, I Am Alive…
"Doctor, My Eyes" should be your next Jackson Browne listen. That whole album (Saturate Before Using) is great.
The incredible bit in the middle by Jesse Ed Davis is as close to a perfect guitar solo as I can imagine.
RUNNIN ON EMPTY GREATEST ROCK SONG EVER
Best bass run ever by Leland Sklar as well
That album’s name is Jackson Browne.
People often make that mistake
I remember this song so well, always loved the tenderness of the plea to stay for one more song. And, lol, Frankie Valli. Peace from Ohio …
"The Pretender"---very pleasing musically, but a lyrical masterpiece. As deep as the Atlantic and Pacific combined.
One of my favorites. I sing it all the time.
Love this song !!
Thank you for acknowledging the “Stay” tribute to Frankie Valli!
I’ve listened to a few “reaction “ videos of this wonderful song (one of my all-time favorites). And, you are the ONLY one who actually knows the origin of the unique vocal style of “Stay “.

David Lindsey!! On the steel guitar and can play every instrument known to man!

I believe that original was in Dirty Dancing?
That is the correct answer Brian P.! You just saved me a lot of typing😁. Thanks 👍
The Four Seasons with Frankie Vallie had a huge hit with it.
Wonderful song wonderful artist Great performance love you

Brilliant tribute to his crew. A great driving song, roof down shades on smell of salt in the air, Jackson Browne on the stereo among others.🚙😎🌅🎶
I love the respect to his roadies!
Must do "The Pretender", "In the shape of a heart", "Somebody's baby". Too many great ones to list.
Not sure why, but The Load Out always makes me feel choked up.
For me I see this as someone saying his last goodbyes to his friends and co-workers, knowing they wont see him again.
This song always gives me chills
I'm going to NYC in July to see Jackson. I've been to 100's of concerts but have never seen him live. I go to NYC about every two years to see a special concert. The Covid lockdown had me on hold, so I'm real excited to get back to NYC for his show.
It was also a tribute to the roadies, the ones who set it up and tear it down, night after night. I haven't heard this in many years, great song !
His songs include "Running on Empty " and the Pretender., "Somebody's Baby" "Doctor My Eyes"
I love Jackson. He’s a genuine talent. And still cute even today.
He is a beautiful singer/songwriter/performer. I was so blessed to see him with Joe Walsh in Santa Fe NM at a No Nks concert when I was 16 yrs old back in 1981.

His voice is so haunting, and I believe it's because it's a real picture of his heart. Thanks for this great reaction video!
i love it that it is your first time hearing this. OMG.
David Lindley (lap steel, falsetto vocal) is a legend in his own right. He's an absolute monster and if it has strings, he can play it.
You called my three favorite songs from Mr Brown. They are all good he is amazing.
The whole "Running On Empty" album is brilliant from beginning to "The Load Out" end.
Gawd I love Jackson Browne. This is such a moving song. Also love his "The Pretender"
This is a very special performance. Humans very rarely exceed themselves. I think this is a live look at a man vastly exceeding himself.
A MASTRPIECE of lyrics and song was a favorite for many years on the record player. He is in town soon for a tour.
"Rock Me On the Water" from his first album is a beautiful song that shows both his lyrics and musicianship brilliantly.
There's a video out there somewhere about The Eagles. I believe Glenn Frey said he used to live above Jackson Browne and he would lay on the floor and listen as Jackson banged out songs and wrote new stuff on his piano and he (Glenn) learned a lot about writing hit songs that way. Pretty neat stuff.
In concert this was the best encore ever!
It’s definitely two songs. In fact a while a go you reviewed another version of “Stay” by a different artist. And I, and many others, left comments about this version by Jackson Browne, suggesting that you check it out. And now that you have, you can see what all the fuss was about.
Love everything he put out. SMOOOOTH. Thanks for the memories Harri
Agree on the standing O. Jackson is great. Try "Running On Empty" and "The Pretender".
It's technically 2 songs but it really works best when played as one. I love the gratitude to his crew AND his audiences. I've always loved this song.
This song never ceases to amaze me.
It has a certain magic that no other song can muster.
When you check out "Running On Empty" do the live version from around the same time as this one. It's the quintessential version, full of energy and the band having a great time.
Love this song
Thanks!
Thank you 🙏🏿✌🏾
Combine this song with Bob Seger’s Turn the Page and you’ll know everything you need to know about being a rock star on the road.
