Jackson Browne "Running On Empty" (live at NAMM Show Jan 2018)

[@RickMcCargar]

Life has been better with Jackson Browne and his music, in it.

[@Mark-v7y8t]

IN WHAT WAY ?????!!

[@jhull5870]

One of the best albums of the 70's, in my opinion.

[@chimichanga1972]

Well, in 65 I was 17 and 69 I was 21. Beautiful song brings back many wonderful memories.

Jackson Brown is an amazing musician and known to be. Very kind man as well

[@crushedrgb]

God.. I’m 17 again on a warm summer day. What a fantastic memory this song brings back..

[@cprtrain]

Truly this is one of the greatest anthems from the 70's.

[@Xplantdad]

The soundtrack of my youth! Jackson Browne is amazing...and Rosemary Butler's backing vocals rock. Russ Kunkel and Leland Sklar on point as well. Special! We are blessed to have this music around!

What’s crazy is they were on the original recording back in ‘77. It speaks volumes to see them all still performing together.

In 1972 I saw Jackson in concert with Bonnie Raitt. Browne was popular during the 1970s. Undoubtedly, one of his best tunes.

With the live tracks of that album recorded at the fabulous Merriweather Post Pavilion in the heart of Columbia, Maryland.

Had a smile on my face all the way through. Rosemary still has a beautiful voice!

[@Ybor-ld6uq]

Playing this on our cassette stereo in a 68 Volkswagen station wagon in ‘78 during a cross country road trip with my dear brother and a close friend crossing Lake Pontchartrain coming from Hot Lanta enroute to New Orleans. I still can’t cross that lake without thinking about this song and the joy in our hearts listening to it. Kudos to all who made that era a special time.

[@thatjayne]

I met Rosemary Butler in a hotel room private party after a JB and Graham Nash concert. She was so sweet and gracious. She has sung background on pretty much everyone’s music.

[@brenthasboro5709]

I feel very fortunate to have grown up in the best years of music ever. We got to listen to so many songs where you couldn’t decide if the lyrics or the instrumentation were the better of the song? Yes, the history of Laurel Canyon and the legendary artists who lived there is amazing. Rock on Jackson!

[@fixitnmix19]

Rosemary Butler’s voice still soaring ❤

[@brentwalker8596]

Damn, Jackson is still sounding so good vocally. And he got Leland on bass. Legends!!!!! My father turned me on to Jackson Browne back in the 1970's. Thanks Dad!!!

[@hrpickinstuff]

Can I get 2 bucks worth on a number 2 please?

[@independentmusicguy]

This is a song that used to play in my head while I was riding a motorcycle cross country in my youth. " The road rushing under my wheels" is best heard and felt on a motorcycle. Rode to Texas, Florida, New Orleans, and though the Midwest. This was part of the sound track of my late teens and twenties. Thanks, Jackson!

[@kennycadger5529]

Outstanding performance from one of the world's best songwriters

[@leeburns740]

It's always heart-warming to hear artists who let's face it are way past their prime (like me).......and still sound great. This is more that can be said for some. Props!

[@indycustommade3568]

Can we all say how incredible that intro was? No one was late. This song instantly takes me back to my youth. I was born in the '60s but grew up in the '70s. Timeless.

In "65 I was 17 and "running on"...hadn't yet discovered my love for music until '69, when I was 21 and I learned how to play guitar, sing, and start a rock band. The next 15 years was one hell of a ride, sometimes on empty, sometimes on full, especially of many great memories. Playing this song in the late 70s was part of them. Thanks, Jackson, for "running" with us!

[@ecdreamin]

Ah, the 70's, magical times full of music, love and hope. I carry fond memories of that warm summer night in 1977 when this song was recorded at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland. We splurged on real seats in the pavilion that night instead of the usual lawn tickets. Little did we know we were about to witness history. As the final notes rang out, we ran like the wind to the Cross Keys Hotel after the show to wait for Jackson's bus. They say you should never meet your hero's, but they don't know Jackson, so warm, real & grounded. We had a nice chat while he signed a few autographs. At first, I just stood there, spellbound, my mind unable to register what my eyes were seeing. With zero thought, my arm levitated out and touched Jackson gently on the back. Yes, thank you Rock Gods, he IS real and standing right here. He glanced back at me, checked his shirt (all was well!) and carried on. I asked if he gave guitar lessons, he said he used to but didn't have time to anymore. I asked for a hug, and got one. I pulled a folded wrinkled flyer I had been given in the parking lot before the show out of my pocket & asked for an autograph, Jackson asked where I got it & if I minded if he opened & read it, said he that in addition to wanting to know what he is signing, he liked to keep informed on what was being handed out at his shows. He folded it back up and signed it. I kept it in my childhood jewelry box for 40 years, one day it just disappeared, gone with the wind, but that's okay, I will always carry memories of that night tucked inside my heart. Thank you JB, for your humanity. You are a kind, talented, beautiful soul. When days grow dark and life gets hard, memories like this remind me that dreams do come true, kindness does exist, rock stars can be hero's. God bless you and yours Jackson Browne. Stay well, know you are loved and keep on running and rocking. 💗💃🏻💗

[@paulcarlson9543]

My father moved from Illinois to Arizona when he was very young. He brought his JB records with him and used to listen to it at his neighbors house who was a receptionist for a doctor’s office, despite being made fun of by other kids his age who were more into Zepplin and who should come in to be seen at the office but JB. The receptionist told Jackson about my dad and Jackson being the kind man he is left two backstage passes for my dad at will-call under his name so he could meet my dad. I don’t know if you’ll ever see this but, he’s never stopped listening Jackson, in fact he posted just a few spots below this without me even realizing it and he passed his love for your music on to me and I passed it on to my son.
