My mother told me once, two decades ago, that she always wanted to write Jackson Browne and just tell him thank you for being her friend..... I was a teenager in the 90's and Dimebag was my hero, my idol, the reason I picked up a guitar. After life kicked me around a bit I've let go of my angst, and have also found a friend in this wordsmith. Thank you Mr. Browne. From three generations, we thank you..... (My grandfather was also a fan)
This slender young man comes onto the stage and sings a song that is so deep and powerful in a pure voice that turns the song into a masterpiece. Love you, JB!
I too was so impressed by the way this young man who walked out onto the stage alone with only his guitar with such a presence and command of the song. At the end the camera pans to the audience which turns out to be fairly large. Checking his age, if recall correctly he was actually around 36. But still, quite a feat : a master with the command of the stage.
"Don’t ask me, if he'll show… maybe. I don’t know." Reminds me of Dylan's powerful "how many times will a man turn his head… the answer my friend, is blowing in the wind."
Dude, Jackson got lots of love and still gets plenty. This guy is one who did it all on his own terms and rode the bus to the top of the pile. In the late 70's and 80's, he was at the top of the charts. He was then and is still my idol. Truth is, everytime I pick up my guitar and sing in public I am pretending that I am JB. Long live the man.
Jackson could see things that no one else saw, think things no one else thought, say things no one else was saying. That's at least part of the definition of genius.
Even at 67 he still puts on a great show, and has that wonderful voice that makes you feel like you are revisiting a trusted, kindred friend. Thanks for decades of some of the best music.
I saw him this past March at the Palais in St Kilda and it was probably the best show I've seen of his. I'm seeing him at the Greek in August. Can't tell you how much happiness that fills me with.
Jackson Browne and Dan Fogelberg were two of the greatest poet-musicians! Every song was beautiful and profound and full of great meaning that one could apply to one's own life! Peace, BobbyK
Nobody writes songs like Jackson Browne the man is just a down right genius when it comes to music. I been a fan of JB since since 1970 he just wrote music that was way ahead of his time I loved it then and I love it now and I think Everyman agrees
Not sure bout all that, but going back to his Zappa days and the Feat shows, Lowell could give anybody a run.. his soul was magnificent. His musical story telling, not sure what ur looking for but waiting for Columbus is a Masterpiece
@@stargazer6753 laughing like the DH I am, that comment was supposed to no no was re Lowell George. My comment re Everyman is a couple below. Jackson well the album gave me a goal!! Play music forever, be kind forever.. yup
@@jamespriest9658 Somehow I feel that I must apologize for saying “Yes, indeed.” I admire Lowell George just as much I do Jackson Browne. I may be misunderstanding some of your abbreviations, such as : “no no was re” and “well the album.” I do know the abbreviation “re” so I”m that far ahead. I would love to read your other comments, but could not find them. I’m here to learn, so go for it. By the way, that one “like” was from me, and I still admire L. George.
I'm seeing Jackson Browne with my husband for the second time together at the Hartford health Care center on September 1st, 2023. I would love to hear this song, but I'm not sure what they're supposed to be singing that night but any songs are good 🎉🎉❤
This is one of Jackson's best songs. Great lyrics and a really fine solo performance. Too bad most radio stations seem to play the same half dozen Browne songs over and over while neglecting this gem. Think I'll post a cover of it one of these days.
Jackson Browne changed my life! I'm 65 now but I heard him the first time when I was 17 after getting married at 14 and finally running away to New Orleans to start living my own real life. He has always said what I feel about humanity and I've tried to instill that into my children's life! I love his music and hopefully he still lives his life like his music.
That’s incredible that you listen to it that much. In the early and mid-1970s I was a teenager in Los Angeles and this was the album I played endlessly.😢
Not too much I can say that hasn't already been said about this guy......I've followed him for so many years now and everything he does is so "Giftedly Played and Voiced" by someone I'll be listening to til' I'm long gone....Awesome :)
met him a few years ago at a bruce cockburn concert in ventura ca. have his autograph framed. this song makes me want to invite everyone over for a sing-a-long !we all know how amazing he is !! peace
For every man is my favorite album of all time. For me it’s just spoke to who I was in my late teens in the mid-1970s living in Los Angeles. It is my favorite album of all time.
Well, no actually. That's an opinion without categorization. In that case if Exile On Main Street is the greatest album of all time, then it must also have been the greatest album of the 70's as well.
@@davidmurray2539 now you’re just being a turd in the clown. It is a phenomenal album. You can make a great argument. That is one of the greatest albums of all times.
Jackson is IMHO a once in a lifetime shining light. The man has touched my life with his words and music. Has inspired me to look into my soul and evaluate, reflect, recognize I am not almighty but a player on a board of everyman
music can't be better than this......... a voice, a guitar and powerful words......everyone of of us needs this....being myself a musician,I know what a moment like this means.......with "the pretender",for me, these are two of the best songs ever..........
It's hard to choose a favorite. At one point i picked his entire 1st album, b/c it was great and it introduced me to his music. Now, at 66, i realize how much i love Late For the Sky (album), leaning toward The Late Show as a favorite. I know now i can love that song/album w/o taking anything away from my love for all of his music. I think we all appreciate the greatness of Jackson from his songwriting ( genius) to the greatness of David Lindley, to his music writing, ( other than lyrics) , to his bands who were/are always the very best. I didn't even mention how so good looking he was/is. My love for him and his huge contribution to the music world is eternal.
Beautifully said. My favorite of his and my favorite album of all time is for every man. I can understand you’re picking his first album or late for the sky. All three albums are phenomenal. I’m glad he has had as much influence on your life as he has on mine.
Jackson is the light and the sorrow that consumes us all from time to time. In sorrow he brings us light and in light he brings us sorrow, if you want to go down there and contemplate it.
WOW.. back when music was, well.. "music". It doesn't get more authentic and unvarnished in a spectacular display of raw talent than this, Undeniably incredible.
I saw him in a charity gig at the Claremont Colleges back in '72---? 19 years old---just starting to learn how to play guitar. While even to this day----90% of his stuff is still otta' my league, he taught me something I'll never forget while yackin' with him later. Play when you want to! Even if you feel like crap. Don't EVER play in front of----or for ANYONE, if you don't feel it----. People will sense it it, and you'll sound like crap-----even if it's your "signature" song.
No reply, I have loved him since the age of 15. In a time when kids were into disco and all that crap, I always pay attention to lyrics. I found in his music and lyrics saved me as a frustrated young woman. Not a groopie just an appreciated fan. I have seen him at NO NUKES Hollywood Bowl, Santa Barbara Arlington Theatre, And Ventura Theatre, and, Santa Barbara Bowl - by the time I was 30. Miss those days.
You seen him a lot in the Santa Barbara area. I saw him when he came to town in 1986 at the Arlington in Santa Barbara and I had the very front row center seat. There’s a pretty good space between the seat and the stage maybe 20 feet and he was standing right in front of me 20 feet away singing me all his songs along with the full capacity crowd I don’t know a few thousand people in there. It was just a phenomenal concert and to tell you how much ticket prices of changed I bought that ticket scalped for $50. That same seat would go for at least $500-$700 now probably 1000.
Music that enchants. I listen and my mind pauses as something in me is rejuvenated and redefined thanks to the words of another. A reminder of the substance of being we share.
WOW...I was just coming by to pay tribute to the man...JACKSON BROWNE is a true human being... its just a damn shame about all of the ignorance and intolerance in the world...but what you gonna do??? like Jackson, Lennon, Ghandi and SO MANY OTHERS... spread light and love when and where you can.... its about the music, its about the love.... its about wearing grooves on my first LP that you could plant corn in, LMAO
Couldn't agree more.. Jackson Browne ... timeless... love him always.. so unfortunate that he didn't get the exposure/recognition he deserves..JB ..come back .. this generation may actually appreciate you...
it sure is tough to find fault in an artist who has the goal of mankind getting along with each other. Jackson Browne is a great representative for rock and roll!! You older folks make sure your children listen to and understand his message.
At 16 I marvelous at the brilliance of this song, for today it left me breathless and grateful.. 40 years later I'm holding out that hand and not asking
So young here... I been listening to all, ALL of his performances here on youtube. Musically, I love this song so much, especially solo. I'd like to learn to play it, but I couldn't do any of his songs justice let alone this one. Such an artist and poet. Wow...
Man the best lyricist. Folks like Jackson Browne were singing and writing about something that sadly we have seem to lost today... or I'm just feeling really old
So very sad Rachel that your comment about this incredible song from this magnificent poet is about his lips. If he were to read this he might be laughing right now.I Need to stop being Judgmental! Hate that about myself. . Enjoyed the video though. He is a handsome guy. look deeper Rachel......
his heart and soul make him beautiful inside and out! but to be superficial for a moment because I'm human, he has always been pleasurable to look at as well as listen to. I had the good fortune to finally see him live about a year ago, 5 rows back from the stage. I was mesmerized the entire show - he's still got all he ever had an more! What an amazing man he is!
Great lyrics, beautiful rendition, blah, blah, blah. And man, does he ever look gorgeous in this video! I got to sit on the floor of a JB concert in 1980. I wanted a closer look, so I walked up to the stage as close as I felt security would let me. Then I looked up and gah - my knees went weak. I have always thought he was the best looking rock star ever. But he never made his looks the centerpiece of his career. He didn't have to - the music was great.
hes has beena major influence on me as a writer.. his stuff just blows me away... sky blue and black has got to be one of the greatest ballads of all time... and you NEVER here it on the radio.. "course its so damn commercialized these days i dont waste my time on it anyhow...
I would not leave him "in the light of the morning" as he sings here lol - DH is a nut with her stories back then. Late for the Sky is one of my favorite JB albums. Thanks for posting this for us.
the song always reminded me about the days when I was working on the road as a construction journeyman. starting off at the bottom pretty much made my way to be one of the bosses. but this song has been in my heart for years. however bittersweet there is some place in this world for every man:-)
Like a moth I'm drawn to Jackson's Flame. My cynicism, frustration, and fear melt away. My possibilities reappear--young and strong and hard. Not too bad.
Jackson Browne wrote and continues to write the soundtrack to our generation ... thank you.
The best of Jackson.
One man, one guitar. No frills.
Could not be be done any better than this.
Agreed my man. Absolutely. Jackson at his best.
Jackson writes a poignant and prophetic song that can bring one to tears.Brilliant performance.❤
My mother told me once, two decades ago, that she always wanted to write Jackson Browne and just tell him thank you for being her friend..... I was a teenager in the 90's and Dimebag was my hero, my idol, the reason I picked up a guitar. After life kicked me around a bit I've let go of my angst, and have also found a friend in this wordsmith. Thank you Mr. Browne. From three generations, we thank you..... (My grandfather was also a fan)
Curtis Ford This lady, too. I have composed that Thank You letter so many times in my head.
I'm alive in part thanks to this guy--got me through my early adolescent years. A gift from God, his music. It's hard to put in words.
None finer
One of the GREATEST song writers to ever pick up a pen in my humble opinion!
Just a beautiful, powerful, honest song by an extremely sensitive songwriter.
This slender young man comes onto the stage and sings a song that is so deep and powerful in a pure voice that turns the song into a masterpiece. Love you, JB!

without a doubt

An absolutely brilliant artist. His first four albums alone amount to an education in humanism.
Have listened to this song either daily or weekly since my junior year of high school. When it's daily I am a better person. Thank you Jackson.
That’s incredible that you listen to it that much. In the early and mid-1970s I was a teenager in Los Angeles and this was the album I played endlessly.😢
Jackson is a brilliant lyricist. Take It Easy Jackson & keep showing us how! ✨🕊🎟
One of the most introspective song writers of my lifetime.
Jackson Browne has been a favorite of mine for many years. His songs touch me like no one else's.
JB is without a doubt one of America's finest songwriters and singers. What a great talent he is.
I have seen him 17 times. He soothes my soul
Kim Blatt wow, you're so lucky. Still waiting to find time to see him for the first time!
Kim Blatt the best man woman songs ever written

Magnificent finale to an epic album. One of the greatest albums of the 1970s. Arguably THE greatest.

I can't decide whether this is my favorite JB song or Fountain of Sorrow, they're both masterpieces.. always seems like he sings with such emotion...

This is the finest live version of a song I have ever heard. Genius does describe this man well enough
As a 17 year old this song brought me to Jesus! ❤️❤️❤️
Have loved this song since it came out in the 70s; one of his best, & he's written a lot of good songs.
40 plus years of hearing the best stories accompanied by an acoustic guitar, never gets old....LOVE HIM!!!!!
Such an angelic voice. I wish I could play guitar like him. ❤
I remember watching this on TV the first time around. Still the best version of this song, in my opinion. Just beautiful.
Wow...one of my all time favorites....but to see him give such a performance on some stage that makes him look like he's on a TV variety show....wow!
this is an all time message and awakening song ! Perfect from past ,present and for
the future ! Real music stops from this generation.
A true poet and exceptional singer/songwriter. They don't make music like this anymore. I hate today's music.
One of the best (there were many) concerts I saw of JB was when he played at Tanglewood circa late 70’s. This was one of my favorite songs of his.
I saw him in a charity gig at the Claremont Colleges back in '72---? 19 years old---just starting to learn how to play guitar. While even to this day----90% of his stuff is still otta' my league, he taught me something I'll never forget while yackin' with him later. Play when you want to! Even if you feel like crap.

Any Jackson record from the seventies is a work of genius.
Criminally underrated songwriter...
I feel very humbled by his song.

Damn, this man has beautiful bone structure and facial features and the most beautiful voice. The anthem to my adolescence.
Amazing Vocalist and Song Writer!!
When the need to express oneself meets talent we are blessed with Jackson Browne! ... Thank whatever god you honor!
A work of staggering beauty.
Couldn't agree more.. Jackson Browne ... timeless... love him always.. so unfortunate that he didn't get the exposure/recognition he deserves..JB ..come back .. this generation may actually appreciate you...
Along with Gordon Lightfoot, Jim Croce, Paul Simon, one of the mosted gifted and prolific, of the "Minstrels of the Dawn".
My man
Bravo! This is a brilliant live version.
it sure is tough to find fault in an artist who has the goal of mankind getting along with each other. Jackson Browne is a great representative for rock and roll!! You older folks make sure your children listen to and understand his message.

Can you believe that this guy wrote so many amazing songs.....
Our Greatest Living Poet
Great performance of one of his best songs & one of my favorites. Hoping to see him when he comes to town later this year.
If you hear this song...you are everyman. this is about you. love you man as it is me as well. love ya l.e.
So young here... I been listening to all, ALL of his performances here on youtube. Musically, I love this song so much, especially solo. I'd like to learn to play it, but I couldn't do any of his songs justice let alone this one. Such an artist and poet. Wow...

I went to two JB concerts last year. Can't wait for the next one. Still the best ever!!!
I am one of those "older folks" And me and my SOn went to his concert tonight!! AMAZING!! Still the same JB
"that place in the warmth of the sun where sweet childhood still dances" is a great line.
Some of my tastes have changed over the years, but this one has stuck - and probably always will. Absolutely love this track.
jackson has best lips on planet earth
So very sad Rachel that your comment about this incredible song from this magnificent poet is about his lips.
If he were to read this he might be laughing right now.I Need to stop being Judgmental! Hate that about myself. .
Enjoyed the video though. He is a handsome guy. look deeper Rachel......
Tom Nasti Raechel morris was being poetical about a a poet - the words have to pass those lovely lips..
raechel morris loose ships sink lisps
+raechel morris I agree!
his heart and soul make him beautiful inside and out! but to be superficial for a moment because I'm human, he has always been pleasurable to look at as well as listen to. I had the good fortune to finally see him live about a year ago, 5 rows back from the stage. I was mesmerized the entire show - he's still got all he ever had an more! What an amazing man he is!
Me, too...it was an awesome show. I was in the front row of the balcony and have photos of it all. Very memorable event!
My goodness, this man is music perfection
Great lyrics, beautiful rendition, blah, blah, blah. And man, does he ever look gorgeous in this video!
I got to sit on the floor of a JB concert in 1980. I wanted a closer look, so I walked up to the stage as close as I felt security would let me. Then I looked up and gah - my knees went weak. I have always thought he was the best looking rock star ever. But he never made his looks the centerpiece of his career. He didn't have to - the music was great.
I sense my life and feel my humanity.......all of it, all of me, put to music and poetry by this incredible performer and writer and arranger.
hes has beena major influence on me as a writer.. his stuff just blows me away... sky blue and black has got to be one of the greatest ballads of all time... and you NEVER here it on the radio.. "course its so damn commercialized these days i dont waste my time on it anyhow...
I just love this singer, songwriter, so awesome! saw him when I was so very young, good memories!
Absolute masterpiece.
Still listening always will
I would not leave him "in the light of the morning" as he sings here lol - DH is a nut with her stories back then. Late for the Sky is one of my favorite JB albums. Thanks for posting this for us.
I believe he is the poet laureate of our time along with Bob Dylan!
the song always reminded me about the days when I was working on the road as a construction journeyman. starting off at the bottom pretty much made my way to be one of the bosses. but this song has been in my heart for years. however bittersweet there is some place in this world for every man:-)
Thee ONE with the answer. Obey the Word of the Lord 🙏 Acts 19:5 amen 🙏
sublime, many thanks.
From the comments 2/22/2923 can’t say anything better. The song just gets better every time you play it
The greatest songwriter of all time
This is the era your old man grew up in For Everyman Jackson plays this song so friggin great on his acoustic guitar versus the piano
Like a moth I'm drawn to Jackson's Flame. My cynicism, frustration, and fear melt away. My possibilities reappear--young and strong and hard. Not too bad.
amazing show in london this week too........what an experience
truly a remarkable man
The song was written on a sailboat in San Fran harbour, that was owned by a friend of Crosby's.....
Just a great song writer.
