-- LYRICS --
Well I'm runnin’ down the road tryin' to loosen my load
I've got seven women on my mind
Four that want to own me, two that want to stone me
One says she's a friend of mine
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand
And take it easy
Standin’ on the corner in Winslow, Arizona
With such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord, in a flat-bed Ford
Slowin' down to take a look at me
Come on baby, don't say maybe
I’ve got to know if your sweet love is gonna save me
We may lose and we may win
But we will never be here again
Open up, I'm climbin' in
To take it easy
Well, I'm running down the road tryin’ to loosen my load
Got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin' for a lover who won't blow my cover
She's just a little hard to find
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
Come on baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me

Amen! Best part of this video. RIP David.❤
You like this? Google "Jackson Browne at The Main Point - 1975"
David Lindley (in my opinion) was a way better back up musician than he was on his own.
Singin' for their supper.
Jackson Browne is a national treasure
Yes he is. Great songwriter, about as down to Earth as you're gonna get.
International treasure
And so is David Lindley!
Imma give the mic back in a second, just here to say that Mr. Dave is a national goddamn treasure!
@@ericbergmueller2981 💔
What always made the Eagles version of that song is the 2nd verse, the Winslow Arizona line with Glenn and Randy Meisner singing harmony. That's just honey for the ears, man!
I don't know how these old videos are found .. they are TREASURE,,...thanks for this history.
Jackson isn't just a songwriter - he's a poet. One of the best. I've loved his music for over 40 years and I'm just... envious. And David Lindley is the most unrecognized musician on the planet. If it's got strings, he can play it. Better than most. We saw him live with El Rayo-X in New Orleans in the late 80s and they were just jaw-dropping. Two of my favorites, jamming in the rehearsal room. Life is good indeed.

Indeed....
He has a brain full of verbosity. He has to stop himself from every song becoming an historical novel.
Jackson Brown is a great songwriter and musician! Some folks are just naturally born to make music and Mr. Brown is definitely among the best!
The Man responsible for my son ! Who just happens to be a GREAT man !!! He's taught college for 23 years now.. So yes, Jackson Browne did change the world !!! ☺ Thank you Jackson. You gave the greatest me gift of all.
Jackson's version and For Everyman as an album, light years beyond anything The Eagles ever did, not to mention Late for the Sky. But I'm glad that Glen pushed this song to completion.
No need to write down the Eagles. They had quite a lot songs on the level of "Take it easy".
Eagles were a force to be reckoned with. Lots of great tunes.
Late for the sky... embrace the genius, Jackson’s songs are on another level
Cole Trickle Epic song writer. He’s a genius.
There are so many albums to choose from. I'm with you on "Late For The
Sky", I think "I'm Alive" is a close contender, I love "Too Many Angels".
@@carolyncastle123 you have to listen to Time The Conqueror and Standing in the Breach, it may take a few listens but then you’ll hear it! I’m waiting for the new album.
Right on !!!
@@carolyncastle123 I discovered Too Many Angels only recently and am obsessed with it. Love everything he’s done - just some more than others.
Love both Jackson Browne and the Eagles and had no idea Jackson wrote this tune
One of the most iconic tunes out there.Had to drive to Winslow on a Holiday just to see it. Route 66 live on.🎸
I stopped there on a short bus hop while hitching to Cali from East Tennessee.
I personally like Jackson's version the best. Linking the two though is even better.
OMG I have loved The Eagles and Jackson Brown since forever... 1979... and I NEVER KNEW THIS! the internet does it AGAIN!!
Such a great story. Two great song writers working on one idea and making it a great song.
Jackson Browne and David Lindley! Real Talent in its purest form.
Wonderful thanks !!! Rip David. 😥
Just love this, young Jackson Browne, "Take It Easy", the 70's wood paneled walls (LOL). What a great song. Thanks for the song and thanks to the Eagles for doing such a great job of it. RIP Glenn.
God bless you Glenn Frey RIP beautiful man
Im glad he wrote that song too!
OH MY GOSH my dad showed me this documentary when I was like six years old and I just realized that this is it... thanks, Dad.
At that age I assumed David Lindley was Glenn Frey lol
This footage is AHMAZING with Jackson & David Lindley!!! FANTASTIC
Jackson is amazing. This is his song. Always, no matter what.
Frey made this the Eagles hit that it was! Jackson himself states that Frey transformed this song. A song that would of sat on the shelf and probably would of never been finished like so many songs that were started by many artist.
Agreed.
bullshit this is Jacksons song and it would have been great no matter what. His mistake for letting that creep steal it
Pat stoll - Clueless
Pat stoll tut tut
Love the sound of the Violin in this!
Great warm up in the green room. Timeless classic song. The harmonies were so pleasing.
This is great ! R.I.P. Glenn Frey
Classic song that brings back memories of simpler times. I used to sing this song in my first pro band back in 73.Saw the Eagles play that year ( Witchy Woman was a hit at the time) Fast forward many years later I was on the road and drove through Winslow AZ. Couldn't help but sing this song to myself.
I became a huge fan of Jackson Browne after seeing him credited with writing " Take it Easy ". His lyrics and haunting melodies are a part of my youth, still taking me back to a special time in my life. Glenn Frey spoke of how he learned to write songs while living in an apartment above Jackson back in the Echo Park section of L.A., and those like J.D. Souther all had a great impact on what became a soundtrack for my younger days.
God there was a lot of great music in the 70s.
That 2nd voice of Lindley was actually very very good!
Always fascinating, the backstories.
David...what an awesome talent!

WOW! My favourite song ever, what a progression of how it's changed and adapted.
I am so glad that The Eagles recorded it
Love the slow pan of the catering table at 2:00. That egg salad looks amazing.
Was it a jar of mayo just plonked there?
It's dust now
It looks like a church potluck
David Lindley...INCREDIBLE!

Thanks for that, guys. I can't get enough of that tune.
Drove through Winslow,AZ on Interstate 40/Route 66 back in 1978 when the road went right through town- instantly thought of this song- always loved it. Came back through Winslow in 1981 only to find they moved the Interstate a couple of miles north- too bad- great town
They still have the sign there, right?
Magic right there I say!
I just love David Lindley . Such a great player.

It isnt a big production
just a singer his guitar & this friends.
Its more of an invitation to listen to music when its real
This is so beautiful. Seeing one of my most favorite songs and artist in their most precious moments that lead up to the experience that enables me to indulge in when I listen to this song.
Sidekick Extraordinaire. David Lindley.
Lindley elevated JBs music to another level akin to attaining heaven
If you watch videos of performances of this song, by both the Eagles and Jackson Browne, it's pretty conspicuous how how Jackson always mentions "cowriting" it with Glen Frey, and Frey never mentions Jackson.
In the Eagles documentary was the only time I've heard him mentioned. Jackson lived in an apartment upstairs or downstairs from Frey and JD Southern. They'd hear him practicing and working on stuff. Take It Easy caught his ear. And he handed it off, finally, to Glen.
But you never hear the Eagles introducing the song, mentioning its origin onstage.
Jackson's mentioning of it might have something to do with the fact that some people (not his oldest fans) ONLY know the Eagles' version. That said, yeah... it seems odd that Frey wouldn't have mentioned it, particularly because it's such a great story. It's possible, though, that since it was the band's gangbuster entry into the popular music world, he didn't want to lessen the band's bona fides. Maybe Henley could speak to that at some point.
@@czarkhasm @william Knell Both Henley and Frey have gone on record saying that they and many others were greatly influenced by Jackson's song writing in those early days and they even give him credit for helping them get signed by Geffen - their fist recording contract!
If you ever see Don Henly in a bar, remind him that 80% of the Eagles hits were written or co-written by others.
Take it Easy
Peaceful Easy Feeling
Already Gone
Take it To the Limit
Best of My Love
Hotel California
Lyin Eyes and Tequila Sunrise were written by Frey and Henly, but they are basically the same song.
David Lindley: Winner, Best Dressed!
steben53. Savante
man, those shoes lol
always...
And always the best musician in the room!
By a mile.
Saw him sing it in Bakersfield last Sunday (8/11/2019). He mentioned Glenn Frey before singing it. Sounded great.
Outstanding! That's the real story about how the song started. And how it got finished. A lot of songs go that route. The Beatles were notorious for walking into the studio with unfinished song ideas. But, in the end, they always found a way to 'git er done.'
Incredible. Browne and Lindley in a freaking dressing room. Incredible.
I love you guys, wonderful to this day.
Killier song. Thank you Jackson, thank you Glenn.
Jackson is such a good guy to give that song to Glenn... I would love to see the Eagles do a tribute tour for Glenn with Jackson doing most of Glenn's songs I think Glenn would want the band to have one more tour.
+krame99 I would love that! One more time around!
Chris85 - That would be amazing
they are going on tour next year with Deacon frey filling for glenn
It made him a lot more money by having it on the Eagles albums . The Eagles Greatest hits just surpassed Thriller as the best selling of all time .
+HotRodSixString Well, it deserves it. I'm glad.
I'll love all of these guys forever.
Music magic is real, but it is most often associated with persistent effort.
What a precious little ditty this is!!
Glad they panned of the food selections I was waiting to see that
My very first concert was in 1973... Jackson Browne w/ Phoebe Snow opening in Princeton.
I was smitten.
One of the best songs of all time. I hope they tour with Jackson and come to the Toronto area. I will pay any price for a ticket...omg.
Cool 100% true anecdote. A friend has a guitar shop. A young customer walks in, looks around, deep in thought. Finally my friend walks over to him. 'Can I help?' The kid says 'yeah I want a guitar so I sound like the Eagles'. My friend says 'oh but you can't do that with only one guitarist, you need two, and the one has to use an open tuning!' So he calls me over, has me pick up an acoustic, says 'Take It Easy', grabs another acoustic fast as anything, retunes it to open G on the fly, I start in, my friend follows along, the kid goes 'WOW!' Amazing sound one gets...
Love this. Love Jackson and the Eagles.
fantastic video and info:::::
The early 70's,what a time !
My first crush. Still love you Jackson. He lives off the grid now. It should still be on TH-cam.

great
These stories are so great how the song comes together. What a great, great song. But the Winslow Arizona line does make it better. And when I was traveling through Arizona and saw Winslow, I had to stop. And if you're ever close don't miss it. About 30 minutes off you're trip but very memorable.
Two of my favorite guitar slingers front and center......damn to be a fly on that turkey !
I heard Lindley interviewed on the radio once many years ago saying he was trying to find a Lime Green Leisure Suit. I wonder if he ever found it. If not he's certainly found some other stellar outfits.
Best dressed man in ska, hands down.

Hello 👋 Jamie
How're you doing.

Great video - thank you.
Fire the caterer.
Love the slow pan of the catering table at 2:00. That egg salad looks amazing.
Love both of them
take it easy...rien de mieux pour se detendre dans des moments difficile dans la vie...elle fs tt oublier...meme bcp....
+czarkhasm . This is my favorite rendition of Jackson Browne singing his own song and that of the Eagles and that sweet smile to David Lindley when David hits all the high notes , around 3:15 to 3:17. Precious indeed. Nothing like it anywhere . Thank you so much.
Flashing that sweet smile to Lindley is something to behold in appreciation of David Lindley.
This is so amazing.
Hello 👋 chiron
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.
But Jackson's genius was to flow that song into "Our Lady of the Well." I heard that on the radio and ran out and got the album.
On the Jackson's album For Everyman. As much as l love the Eagles, l find Jackson's version superior. Perhaps especially the transition into Our Lady of the Well.
Oh what a beautiful outro gets me everytime without fail
Totally agree....that transition is something really special.
Back when radio was real and would actually play the whole thing!
just great
Great filmwork on the Kraft food services table spread.
Great song I never knew Jackson wrote it. I'm still a lookin for that girl in the flatbed Ford yeah? Huh. I wish i grew up in Echo Park in the same apartment complex as Glenn Frey n Jackson Browne , that would have been pretty cool.
Somebody out there did. Wonder if the knew? Or if they're sharing cool stories with their kids. I have a few, but nothing close to JB & Eagles.
So wonderful... next October, i have a friend who will take me to Winslow, Arizona.
valbar1001, did you get to Winslow? Hope you did.
valbar1001 the song was actually written in Flagstaff but the name was bumped because it didn't fit
Incredible document
Really interesting piece! Great song. :)
OMG, he's just a friendly guy. I understand him now.
I love you Mr. wonderful! I will never learn enough about you! I love you!
Hello 👋 Teane
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.
RIP Glenn Frey.
David Lindley can play/sing in my band anytime, but he's gonna have to run his wardrobe by me first.
@Angel Bulldog That's exactly what I was gonna say! Nah man, he's perfect just like that - grooving on down the line
LoL!!! I totally get where you're coming from on that, but he wouldn't be David Lindley if he didn't dress the way he did and does. And without David bringing his very uniqueness to the entire picture, much of the magic would be lost.

-- LYRICS --
Well I'm runnin’ down the road tryin' to loosen my load
I've got seven women on my mind
Four that want to own me, two that want to stone me
One says she's a friend of mine
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand
And take it easy
Standin’ on the corner in Winslow, Arizona
With such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord, in a flat-bed Ford
Slowin' down to take a look at me
Come on baby, don't say maybe
I’ve got to know if your sweet love is gonna save me
We may lose and we may win
But we will never be here again
Open up, I'm climbin' in
To take it easy
Well, I'm running down the road tryin’ to loosen my load
Got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin' for a lover who won't blow my cover
She's just a little hard to find
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
Come on baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me

Love you Jackson😘
Hello 👋 martha
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.
If Lindley cut his hair he would be Jack Nicholson on the spot. Two incredible artists.
You've heard Lindley's Werewolves of London?
Yes.
"Come on baby don't say maybe" you can really hear that it's a Jackson Brown song
Wow!
Jackson Browne
I pray that greed will not let everyone lose how this song came to be .
We welcome you to Japan with The Section,one more time.
Those were great years to grow up in!
the explanation Jackson & Don give about Glenn Frey's talent resolves the Hotel California riddle. Felder's raw material was crafted and arranged by Frey & Henley. A collaboration - and it suited Henley's voice more than Frey's and Felder's riff is legendary. Joe Walsh adds the JW layer.
Thank You most people try to give Felder full credit for Hotel California. But without Henley and Frey he does not have a song.
@@jamar182 Without Felder's opening riff, Frey and Henly don't have their biggest hit.

Right on
Hope the plaid pants were on sale.
I love David Lindley.
David Lindley what an amazing musician

Check out what great performer/songwriter like Jackson would eat before/after a concert. Looks like a sandwich making table with chicken or tuna salad along with possible egg salad.
