Bruce Springsteen & Jackson Browne - Running On Empty

[@danboyle5409]

JACKSON BROWNE IS ONE THE WORLDS BEST WORDSMITHS TO HAVE LIVED IN MY TIME.

[@04dynagirl]

Love seeing these two friends and great song writers perform together. Bruce was so eloquent when he inducted Jackson in to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Their mutual admiration shows here. This is a show I would have loved to have seen.

[@lisacraig5572]

My husband's band opened for JB several times . He says JB was all class...to everyone, stage mgrs , security, lighting, audio... every one! This is a great show with the boss! Thank you JB.

[@coneyislandgirl930]

+Lisa Craig Not surprised to hear that. The best.

Jackson is just that way. He came from out of no where and the depths so he not only knows respect when he sees it, he extends it. He is with no doubt, ALL class ALL the time. And Bruce? Hell, he's just your guy next door. No false airs. ROCK ON!! I can recall many long nights and days wheeling up and down I-90 and the I-5 corridor listening to both. It never failed , coming off the off ramp in 12th high and having this just blarin over that CAT engine. That, was a real time.

They became friends when Bruce agreed to play at the "No Nukes" concert in 1979. That concert was organized by MUSE (Musicians United for Safe Energy), a group Jackson co-founded with Bonnie Raitt and others. Bruce's performance at No Nukes is legendary. Oh, and of course the crowd is calling out "Bruuuuccceee!"

[@miizone1444]

that’s when i first became a fan of both bruce and jackson i’m from australia and they weren’t very big back then

[@tdelmark]

give the lead guitar player props! One of the hardest solos to duplicate and sound good!

[@gadgiekof]

i'm totally blown away, two of my all time hero's on the stage at the same time!!!

[@normacade9940]

TWO TO THE GREATEST MUSICIANS OF OUR TIME. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES!!!

[@bcask61]

Norma Cade Well. One of the greatest of all-time, and one pretty good one.

[@ginocasio]

Great to see two peers Rocking it for their generation.....Classic song....

[@KingFriday-]

Bruce OWNS every song he sings!!! My two faves The Boss and JB!!

[@michaelhill2373]

If you don’t love this...wow...they have this beautiful respect and true admiration for each other...of course... two rock poets who share their hopes with you and me.

[@DaniB19819]

The sounds of my youth , being in the backseat of my mom's station wagon , with that radio always on..Thanks for the memories ..........🤍

[@z1gz4gb1u3FTW]

My step daughter called her new son Jackson, this is what first came to my mind. I’m one proud grampa!

[@jpodunk60]

ASTOUNDING!!! That's a helluva surprise visitor, but then again they were in East Rutherford...They sound awesome together...GREAT POST!!!!!! And, as someone who has been blessed to see BRUCE at least 5 times live...BBRRRRRUUUUUCCCCEEE!

[@runamuck74]

a fantastic collaberation! Springsteen always add a rich flavor when he performs cover songs. plus, people tend to forget what a great guitarist he is.

[@PoorTugaBar]

Can't get better than this!!!!!!!!!!

[@superorangeish]

Great collaboration!🎶👍Who knew!? When Bruce sings Jackson's lyrics, they become his...

[@mooseriddle]

Two of my all time favorite musicians! Would give my eye teeth to see them perform together.

[@Mike7911779]

Index fingers?

[@noeyes6151]

Lol😂👍

[@glenns.7559]

What a weird phrase..."eye teeth" who ever came up with that one?

[@marcelocdarocha2060]

What a colab, I feel 40 years younger ... I went to both concerts then .

[@user-qf3yx5wt4u]

The happiest people in the world Those are the people at this venue !

[@TheOwl54]

Great performance of two outstanding musicians ! What a powerful event !

[@briandavisradio]

Nice raw clip of two great rockers ! It looks to me like they did not rehearse and seem to be discussing the parts and changes before and throughout the song. And they pulled it off great ! I gave it a 4/5 !

[@andysiegel6131]

Two of my favorites if all time

[@peanuts244]

Two of my favorites. It doesn't get any better!

[@Jesusfreak2112]

Wish i could have been there for that one! Awesome duo right there!!!!!

[@kathyjean3840]

Watching this video is a true joy... it seems that Jackson and Bruce, along with the band, truly was having a good time performing!!! This is what music is all about! Dam, I wish I had some musical talent, because this type of "high" must be out of this world!! In my dreams I am one bad ass performer, that these gentleman and their bands, that has been blessed with!!

[@seraphsecurityagencyinc779]

hahaha what a coincidence. me too, one great rocker (only in my dreams)

[@nickin7004]

Awesome 👍 they sound great together 😊

[@talkrite1262]

I was there, also. One of my best memorable shows ever!! Jackson even came out of their travel van after the show and talked with people.

[@karenbuckhannon727]

The Best Of The Best Right Here !!!!!!! Bruce And Jackson It Doesn't Get Any Better Than These Two......LOVE You Both !!!!!!

[@cboullosa]

just amazing..the feeling of this song..and the real meaning of it..just blows my head!!

[@trishkerr6489]

Epic! This would have been amazing to be there! Been a JB fan since I was 16, I'm 58 now! Have always wanted to see Springsteen, one day!!

[@jacksonbrowne6919]

Thank you so much for your comment and continues support 🎵 I appreciate it, God bless you and stay safe...

[@Guedingen]

Well said - wouldn't it be wonderful to see them together playing a kind of best of?

[@carolrochon461]

I am now 50 years young !!! This song STIIL MOVES ME !!!! I BOUGHT THE RUNNING ON EMPTY ALBUM WHEN I WAS 16 !!! I STILL GET SO EMOTIONAL EVERYTIME I LISTEN TO ANY SONG FROM THIS ALBUM ♡♡♡.

[@pabloperez4063]

i cant agree more!!! This album is the best EVER !!! as far as i am concerned, I am 52, my brother bought it in vinilo when it came out (in Spain I believe it was 1979, I was 12 years old then...I liked it so much back then, and over the years and over the decades, I keep on being blown away in every song...I listen the full album many times every year, I have it on cd as well, on my mp3 to listen on the beach, and i think I must have given it as a present 7 or 9 times.....at least. But if i had to choose a moment, it would be when rosemary sings her line in Stay...I have to rewind it 5 times...because I die when she cries "LONGEEEEEERRR"

[@naomigeorge7725]

It’s a terrific album. One of my all-time favorites.

[@clochunator]

I Love this song and i love Bruce Springsteen. Thanks for the video

[@paulisaac78]

Wow! 2 musical giants on the stage together!

[@cos103headquarters]

bossとジャクソンの素晴らしい共演見せていただきありがとうございます！！！！

[@musicrelic8958]

All the recent biographies revel that these 2 have a long history. Sometimes the music business tears people apart. Its good to see them here jamming and playing together!

[@BDUBZ49]

Two of the greatest songwriters ever.

[@michaelmisquez5794]

Wow two of my favorites together. I am so amazed right now!!!!!!! :-) :-) :-) :-)

[@Roxy41262]

[@jstraw4]

Wow--you too, eh? Chills. Both of these legends are such humble guys ... you can see it the way they share the stage.

[@skoggit]

Both these guys rock, but together now that's something else!!!!!!!!!

[@mudoni5160]

Basically the 2 artists that defined my late teens and early 20's unbelievable

[@theresaloos1485]

I don't know if some of you get this at all. These two guys go back years and years together. They are both the bones in the beginning if rockin roll in the very beginning. Jackson goes as far back as the folk music Era. Awesome musicians both!

[@CarolanRoss]

Just don't get much better than Jackson Browne AND Bruce Springstein on stage together!

[@jacksonbrowne6919]

Thank you so much for your comment and continues support 🎵 I appreciate it, God bless you and stay safe...

[@warflynn]

Two great minds together in one arena WOW!!

[@hghumphrey]

I would love to have this version of the song on my ipod. I already love the song, but Bruce makes it even better with his voice. Incredible and thanks for sharing.

[@KatherineMann]

Big huge grin. Awesome.

[@unclebobunclebob]

thanks for the kind words...I really needed that at a time when my mom is dying

[@jguelfi]

AMAZING!!!! Thank you so much . I have tears in my eyes .

[@zwartepiet412]

always thought this was a very bruce-like song, so im not surprised to see him with jackson. this is my favorite jackson song.

[@Buehrle56Fan]

This is such a funny duo. Browne begins by singing in his smooth voice and then Springsteen comes in with his classic gravelly voice. It's awesome!

[@gecko4310]

wow! one my favourite songs.

[@ausferret]

A couple of great friends jamming to an audience and everyone having fun!

[@phoenixtb436]

I am experiencing a little bit of heaven! BRUCE BRUCEBRUCE....has gotten me through some rough times, and I'm big JB fan. I wondered if they knew each other....I don't watch videos normally. So, I am pleasantly surprised! Together...may be too much for my heart!

[@musicrelic8958]

OMG! You mean all of us getting older don't have to just look forward to checking out! ROCK ON YOU GUYS, ROCK ON!!!!!

[@charlie-obrien]

It's no coincidence that Bo Dylan ( a hero to both Bruce and JB) chose the name partly to honor Dylan Thomas who is known for writing in his poem; "Do not go gentle into that good night, Rage, rage against the dying of the light."

[@brainflips9]

We do the ame thing for Bruce Homeboy (Hornsby) in Southeast VA whenever he's introduced and trust me, he's played with everyone if he was home in Williamsburg. Coincidentally, when Jackson played the Ferguson Center on the CNU campus 10/17/12 he brought Bruce out for a couple of songs. They were fantastic together and I hope someone got footage. I, unfortunately, forgot my camcorder and had planned on smuggling it in like the good old days with Jack Daniels and good bud!

[@john9944]

These guys ought to tour together their voices are made for each other and they are both great writers of the American experience. I would love to hear the Boss do The Pretender.

[@m24op]

OMG! can you imagine being at this concert go to see jackson browne BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN comes onstage AND THEY PLAY RUNNING ON EMPTY unbelievable

[@TrailGoon87]

This song speaks volumes, especially since its live with The Bruce Springsteen. I remember being 17 and yes, I was always running on empty haha.

[@talkrite1262]

my 2 favorite men in the world....saw them together once in A.C. a million years ago. thanks for posting!!

[@rogerfitzsimmons6476]

Just saw JB two weeks ago - 71 years old and he's still totally got it. The concert had all his trademarks - performing with the opening act (they did "Mohammed's radio" ) - forgetting lyrics (in "Running On Empty" he used the line "69 I was 21 and I called the road my own" in two different verses) - and a two-hour long set. I was lucky enough to be at the Merriweather Post Pavilion concert in 1977 when he recorded this song live for the album - he did two nights there but I'm pretty sure the show I was at was the one they recorded.

[@davebowler7410]

They're both about the same age as my dad and uncle----both of them are guitarists who played on stage together in MUCH smaller venues when they were younger. The love of playing together is on their faces----and on my dad's and my uncle's.

[@ginagroveau5002]

Awesome love them both!

[@sauquoit13456]

On this day in 1977 {August 27th} at a concert in the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD Jackson Browne recorded "Running On Empty" and "Stay/The Load-Out"... Four months later on December 6th the "Running On Empty" album was released, which contained the above two versions... The album peaked at #3 on Billboard's Top 200 Album chart, while on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart "Running On Empty" reached #11 and "Stay/The Load-Out" peaked at #20... Mr. Browne will be 65 on October 9th...

[@rogerfitzsimmons6476]

I was lucky enough to be at the show in 1977 where he recorded this (and "The Load-Out/Stay") for the album. Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD. It was late August, I had just graduated and my girlfriend had just come back to town for the start of the new school year. Awesome. What's even better is that all these 43 years later, he's still got it.

[@JFKBungart]

Thank you so much for these post. Two heroes of mine. Wow.

[@philkampel]

I was at the Merriweather Post Pavilion for that show. I drove down from Philly and, in those days without Mapquest or GPS, I have no idea how I even found the place.

[@briandavisradio]

Listen to the pops from the crowd , The Boss gets when he sings his parts..gives me the good chills !

[@4FabBEATLES]

they are both talented musicians in their own ways and are great friends to be able to understand they are different yet both love music and admire eachother's work. Their knowledge and understanding far surpass your negative, biased, ignorace

[@jbrowne1702]

It was played at Giants Stadium as part of the Vote For Change Tour. Springsteen, Browne and John Fogerty headlined and, as if that wasn't enough, Eddie Vedder made a surprise appearance. I believe they capped the unbelievable night with a cover of "Peace, Love and Understanding."

[@sandraranchpaz44]

Jackson Brown was and is loved by all his piers and fans alike a real gentleman

@lau7615 Browne and Springsteen go waaay back. Springsteen even inducted Jackson into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Bruce admired Browne's music; even doing a few covers, and the two often performed together at benefits and other special events like a Roy Orbison tribute, during elections in 2006 & 2008; and many other times just for fun. During the speech he gave to induct Browne, Springsteen talks about how they met and their history together; you might want to check it out-its pretty neat.
