David Lindley is a virtuoso in every sense of the word. He will be sorely missed. RIP!

[@nickbonzer]

David Lindley ....what a talent ......songwriter and musician ...unsung hero !

[@58lespaul]

What an astonishing talent-a wizard on anything with strings. R.I.P. David Lindley.

[@cynthialewis2096]

Gawd, I was so in love with Jackson Browne!! First time I saw him was in Mobile Alabama, and I was pregnant with my daughter.. she is now 42.

[@rodmoore2252]

Dave is a master of strings.Jackson knows who to have as a back up.

[@stargazer6753]

Jackson has always had great instincts about whom he wants on his team.

[@joe22589]

Take anything you want and put a string on it - David Lindley will take it and play wonderful music on it. This man is a miracle with overwhelming musicianship

[@bpbatlaw]

Mr. Dave on fiddle! R.I.P. to the Polyester Prince of Strings. We're all individuals, but he was truly one of a kind!

[@frankrusselldesign7563]

These two guys. No one this song as great as these guys do.

There's so much talent there - I've been a fan of them both for over 40 years.

For Everyman. The greatest JB album ever. Every song a masterpiece. Have worn multiple copies out over the decades

[@crlguitar1]

I had the pleasure of shaking hands with David Lindley in Grants Pass Oregon after he had opened for 'Hot Tuna' one evening a few years back. I had been mesmerized by his solo performance on slide guitars so when I caught him in the lobby during intermission I had to tell him how much I loved his performance. David was very cordial and seemed genuinely touched by the praise I was giving. I had been just starting on slide guitar myself and wish that I had the guts to ask him questions about it, but backed off and gave him the 'space' he probably preferred.... Nice guy!

[@TheSecondNature]

Love Hot Tuna!

[@emaych2]

nice story

[@davidconnellchicago]

One of the greatest songs of all time and man, do they look like they are having fun!!!

[@enricobarigazzi798]

Lindley and Browne singing and playing Take it easy by the Eagle, simply marvellous and poignant. Two great artists.

[@NeoSeveune]

No, Lindley and Browne singing and playing Take it easy by Jackson Browne. Glenn Frey admited himself several times that he hadn't do a lot on this song, it was almost finished when he started working on it ;)

[@marymckim4822]

I just love to see JB smile. He lights up the world with joy.

[@robinmayhew1]

Thank goodness we can still hear a song like this - songs that have meaning and melody. I have to confess I hear very little in today's 2020 music.

[@madbrowndog4887]

Dude, I'm a time traveler, and I can tell you it only gets worse!

[@mjmooney]

RIP David Lindley. The maestro. :(

[@spencerbeales8965]

Saw Jackson Solo at the hockstine music hall in Rochester NY. 3 or 400 people ,very intimate. That was about 25 years ago. A lifetime.

[@writereducator]

Amazing that the backing is just one guitar and one fiddle.

[@theiukman]

Brilliant. He is loving it and so am I.

[@janefriel6895]

Sounds like the Irish version.I simply love these two musicians together.Brings me back to being 16. "Those were the days my friends,we thought they would never end."

[@gordonwest5505]

Go on bro. Your gonna have a great day.

[@gordonwest5505]

Same age as you.

[@RowanBD]

I remember the first time I ever heard this wonderful song. It made me feel so good, I believed we could almost make a better world. 'Course, I grew up and learned better, but I never lost my love for this music. Thank you Jackson Browne and David Lindley.

[@joeblow1115]

Two of the greats.

[@taiponet3334]

If David Lindley was my friend and I made a living out of music I'd make damned sure we remain friends.

[@jamestownsend6657]

You can't miss JB'S voice, even after all these years! Good times for sure!

[@janefriel6895]

Still sounds so good.I saw JB in Dublin a few years ago.I thought I had died and gone to heaven.

[@chaba49]

Thanks Jackson Brown many good memories of all your songs growing up . Some where a little painful

He continues to write awesome songs - and he's awesome - thankful for that...

R.I.P. David Lindley

[@jettabartholomew1118]

I revisit this one every so often...an all time abfab fav💛 Love you two together ❤

[@danielibnz]

David Lindley rocks. He can play everything / anything with strings... His look at Jackson, at 4:50, telling with his eyes: I'm tempting you to follow the easy refrain, c'mon... or what do you plan to do? And then, at 5:24 near the end, he wants to continue; of course, he listens to the several final chords from Jacson but he is ignoring them, in fun... Saw them play here in Madrid (Spain) circa 2006, I guess. What a performance...!

[@steviesevieria1868]

Saw Jackson with Lindley, but David was playing steel guitar that night, and it was amazing.

[@adamskaboy]

Love Jackson with David…it just fits so well…

[@sheercerebralpower]

I listen to a Jackson Browne record every week....

[@suerandellroberts]

Back to the roots. Jackson and David. Love them both!!!!!! Sue Roberts.

[@hotstewglass1155]

My favorite artist since I was 15. 60-70’s music was the best. Lyrics have never compared since. Lots of good artists in the 80’s but commercialism emerged and the studios began to control the talent of the person creating.

[@atticussfinch9001]

Yep! Right there with you...

[@mtrott1]

Love the AMERICANA version they play here!!! Excellent!

[@BennyBigIron]

This song reminds me of my Uncle. Miss you Uncle Joe! I hope wherever you are out there among the stars, the fishing is good.

[@johnchapman8351]

Saw David Lindley and Ry Cooder about 30 odd years ago just the 2 of them no backing band 3 Hours of magic!

[@brianallancobb]

First heard this song, circa March, 1972, Mr. Browne opening for Joni Mitchell at D.A.R. Constitution Hall in D.C. He played the entire Saturate Before Using album, alone, on acoustic and piano. Surprised the hell out of me to hear the Eagles version on the radio that summer.

[@Lowden025]

haven t seen this vid and haven t seen Lindley play for a long long time. Still is the goods

[@gbereterbide6440]

Two acoustic string instruments together on this song makes it soooo much more compelling.

[@jeffreyjorgensen887]

Nice tune - the violin solo takes this piece to a totally different level - "as for man, his days are like grass- he blooms like a flower of the field; when the wind passes over, it vanishes, and its place remembers it no more." Psalm 103 - Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let light perpetual shine upon him. +RIP David Lindley -

[@gordonwest5505]

That is lovely. 💙

[@neiltheasby4431]

Wonderful! Demonstrating beautifully why David Lindley's musicianship complemented Jackson Browne's songsmithing so brilliantly.

[@nicolavivarelli4127]

Wonderful version!

[@davidthomas9188]

Music to my ears, life is beautiful after all....... that fiddle man 😫🙌

[@karldroccogallant1665]

Is a fiddle and a violin the same thing? The answer is a surprising “no.” A violin and a fiddle are the same four-stringed instrument, generally played with a bow, strummed, or plucked. They are identical in their physical appearance. ... The fiddle, in contrast, is associated with a wide variety of music styles including Cajun, bluegrass, folk, and country.

[@ronniebryant5364]

Karl D'Rocco Gallant the difference between a fiddle and violin is a violin has strings and a fiddle has strangs.. 😂

[@roberthamlin6638]

First song that I learned how to play. 1975. Thanks Jackson and Glen.

[@samuelgodsey9172]

The Best!

[@Cap683]

I always preferred Jackson Brown’s version of Take It easy. This probably because I wore out For Everyman, my first J.B. Album.

[@steviesevieria1868]

It’s often true that the songwriters own version is the best. It’s laughable that Glenn Frey even tries to take any credit, just compare all their other songs and you can tell who wrote this one 100%.

[@orlyjohn6632]

There are great versions of this song by The Eagles, the original album version, demo version, lots of brilliant live versions. But, when JB sings it you can tell it's basically his song.

[@thomasromano9321]

The song is from both the Eagles and JB.

[@tombrehony6277]

Long live lindley..

[@lastnamefirst4035]

David is very sick

[@candyjohnson3302]

I only want to hear JB when he has DL with him. It’s just magical.

[@JohnDoe-jc3cl]

Candy ❌❗️ABSOLUTELY. ❗️❗️❗️❗️ I took my girlfriend at the time (83) to see Jackson at Poplar Creek outside of Chicago, and he was doing the Lawyers in love tour. I didn’t know. I thought David was going to play. Instead, he had another guitarist. It doesn’t matter who. None of them have the Spirit, touch, tone, phrasing, melody theory, ETC. LIKE Mr David Lindley. When he just touches the strings, the majic happens. He is part of the reason I am an instrumentalist today. NOBODY accompanies Jackson with more intuitiveness than DAVID LINDLEY. ❗️ Period ❗️

[@AnthonyPDavis-of9ij]

Jackson Brown is great, But I've been a David Lindley fan since the early 80's.

[@clementreid907]

Absolutely fabulous song ! Just one small thing - the line "she's so-o hard to find" as often done, is better than "she's just a little hard to find."
