We drove from Pensacola Fl to Mobile through a blinding storm, it was so worth it. The entire concert was amazing. When they got to the Load out and Stay, it was still storming outside, and I really didn't want it to be over. I was with the love of my life having the time of my life. One of my most cherished memories. I still have the Tshirt and the husband.

You know, I haven't seen that movie yet. But the song "Stay" is an old song, but Jackson Browne reworked the lyrics to line up with what he was singing in (the Load Out)... i.e. he wants to stay and play longer (if the union don't mind, etc). The other vocalists were Rosemary Butler and David Lindley. Lindley was playing the lap steel (the thing that.looked like a small guitar but works like a pedal steel). Both vocalists nailed it. Sadly, we lost David Lindley early last year. More gems from Jackson Browne: Running on Empty Doctor My Eyes Tender is the Night The Pretender

Jackson, without doubt, is one of America’s greatest songwriters. He once commented that he was never one to write “cheery” songs. He paints true life pictures that are honest, introspective with a bit of melancholy mixed in. His pop hits from the 60’s and 70’s like Running on Empty, Doctor My Eyes, The Pretender, etc are mainstays of 70’s rock, however, if you dig deep you will find heartfelt poetic treasures in songs like, Late for the Sky, For A Dancer, After the Deluge, Birds of St Marks, etc. I sometimes wish I had never heard these songs so I could enjoy them again for the first time.

Many , many moons ago, I took a summer job traveling with the Carnival. I was young and resilient, and the change did me a lot of good, getting me out of town for awhile, learning how to hustle and live on the road... This Jackson Browne song; " The Load Out." Was our anthem. After returning home to a normal 9 to 5 job, I took a side job, as a Roadie, for a friend's band who was seeing a lot of success back then. I honestly cannot tell you how much this song means to me. It felt like Jackson Browne was singing this song directly to me. Now... So many years later, whenever I need inspiration, and don't feel like living with the aches and pains of getting old, everytime I hear that song it takes me back to those days with the Carnival, when I was in my early 20s. I absolutely love your channel here on KZbin. You are among one of my favorite reactionary artists o n this channel.

I loved hearing you use your own road experiences to connect with what the song is about. The sadness? Yeah, I feel it too. Perhaps because of all the time it takes to travel, set up then dismantle a major traveling band and the only time that isn't enough is the time they are actually performing: also being separated from your love, your family would evoke feelings of sadness. What a musician's dilema! To want to go out and play your music and make people happy but regretting the time away from the ones you love. Fantastic reaction, thank you!

He wrote one of my favorite songs “Doctor my Eyes” when he was 16. Complex lyrics, great storytelling, and great showcasing of all the band members in this song make it a fan favorite. RIP to David Linley the very gifted steel guitar player. The movie about Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons that you’re thinking of was Jersey Boys, where you first heard “Stay”. The song was written by Maurice Williams and recorded by him and his group the Zodiacs in 1960 originally, but also by The Four Seasons, Buddy Holly and Jackson Browne.

I was a DJ back in the days before the "digital revolution". I loaded/unloaded multiple crates of vinyl albums/singles, in addition to amps, mixers and GIANT touring speakers. The Load Out/Stay was the song I played at the end of EVERY gig (wedding receptions, Christmas parties, class reunions, etc.). The song(s) were more popular then because Browne had a string of albums/singles in that era. People at the gatherings liked the song because they could start out slow-dancing and then switch to a faster rhythm at the end. I loved it because (as you so eloquently pointed out) the lyrics are dedicated to the roadies, the heroes behind the stars. Today, DJs can put everything they need for a gig in a small toolbox thanks to the advances in electronics and digital recordings. However, due to the elaborate stage setups at major concerts, the song is still relevant. Thanks for the reaction. Brought back a lot of memories!

I think melancholy is a good word for this. Jackson Browne and James Taylor toured together for a while- it's an amazing concert. Browne has a great voice for storytelling, and this is such a poignant song. I get that it's an easy topic for a musician, but I like the window into their life. I can see where touring, or the music industry in general could be a grind that crushes your soul, even though it's the thing you love doing more than anything. Bob Seger "Turn the Page" is a song in this vein you might check out. Aaron Lewis's "Country Boy" is another - he was the lead singer of Staind, then went in a TOTALLY different direction. That Temptations movie is awesome, and you are correct.

I graduated High School in 1978. Jackson Brown was Big. I always thought this song is about longing. Longing for the show and longing to be home.

What I love about this live is at the very end and David is checking with Jackson... "Are we done...another bar?... Ok, we're done!" Professional to the end!!

Lol! If your Momma don't mind. It's if the promoter don't mind.

Every time I hear this performance, I imagine it being the last song of the concert and 100s or 1000s of people filing out of the arena singing "Stay just a little bit longer..."
