Jackson Browne and David Lindley performing "Something Fine" on the Old Grey Whistle Test in London 1976

[@thegolfnut812]

RIP David Lindley you brought us something fine yourself.

[@joannyurchesyn9655]

RIP Mr. Lindley! You shaped my musical world for 50 years. You will be greatly missed.

[@2510katjo]

Jackson Browne and David Lindley. When they were on stage together, you just can't say one w/out the other. Like brothers from other mothers. Two of the finest musicians i have ever heard. RIP David, you have left your mark on this world.

[@kathleenbutton6599]

I have never heard this particular version of this beautiful song. Absolutely mesmerizing. RIP David Lindley💕

[@stargazer6753]

This was from The Old Grey Whistle Test in England during the 1970’s where all the greats got to show their worth.

[@rubydawn1]

Jackson Browne has his loyal fans love to listen to his stories to see him live is a gift of the best kind.

[@twray1835]

I never tire of Jackson's wonderful music. Have had it all in my head for forty years. David Lindley's wonderful playing has kept my nightmares at bay. Thank you both for making my life a great deal better than it would be without you.

Rest in Peace David Lindley 💔🙏❤️🎶 Thank you David for your Beautiful Music.

When Mr.Lindley plays that violin angels are singing.Heartbreaking.....

[@korbls]

I have to say that I love Jackson Browne. He was my mom's favorite and he has become my favorite. I am not over-exaggerating when I say that his music has saved my life.

[@dianewoodsonwoodson7483]

One of the most beautiful songs he's ever written and sung All of them are infinitely beautiful THANK YOU JB

[@rogerfitzsimmons6476]

JB could sing a grocery list with David playing fiddle and I think I'd still be in rapture.

[@bonniepoole1095]

How did this show up in my feed in 2021? Great!

[@msmithrandir561]

As a Lifelong fan of JB this is so Beautiful to see him so early, at the very beginning....Thanks

[@nancygeek]

I have loved JB since I first heard him in 1972. His pure, clear voice singing his ageless, poetic lyrics..( my kids, now young adults, know all the words to his songs and are proud of the fact that they can recognize his music)......with David Lyndley backing him up.....it just doesn't get any better!

[@chloekey8043]

I named my son Jackson, in tribute. He’s 33 now and listens to country. Oh well.

[@4FabBEATLES]

Browne is a true inspiration- a dedicated musician and prophetic poet. He's speaking his mind,sharing the feelings of music not for fame and fortune

[@lionsntigers]

Songs like this make time travel possible - to a certain time of your life; a certain day; a certain hour; indeed a certain minute/second...a certain feeling..a certain person..I guess it always will..

[@scolhs]

Jackson Browne brought back memories of my old house and garden when I was in my teens. The peace and nostalgia of this song breathes right on my restless youth like a summer breeze.

[@cherylgrec9701]

Always at treat to see Jackson and David Lindley. Such a beautiful song.❤️

[@cliftongal51]

Thank you, RoyAl, and I agree about the song being poetry, as most of Jackson's songs are. Gotta love it! My ex used to hate it when I played JB. He'd sigh and say, "Sing us a sad one, Jackson." I just told him to go away and let me listen to my music. Of course this was 30 years ago! God rid of the man and still listen to JB

[@tsacoder]

These two are a national treasure.

[@normatible9795]

I wish David linley is inducted as a solo performed/musician in Rock and roll hall of fame

[@edwardbyrne4109]

An international treasure

[@awagner8146]

I love this song....wise beyond his years, an old soul who can touch the masses through his lyrics and music - amazing!

[@coolworx]

"And California is shaking like an angry child will, who has asked for love, and is unanswered still" What a line.

Possibly my all time favorite Jackson song, but how do you really choose, right?

[@greg4673]

How I always think of Jackson. And how Jackson and David were a pair.

[@vickiotway4669]

I think I was in my early twenties when I first heard the wonderful music and words of the wonderful person .Thank you.

I love thos man's music I have had the pleasure of attending 3 of his concerts 1979 then twice in 2008 Never will be another like him The quintessential singer songwriter from LA

I played this album a thousand times! Bought it on iTunes and still listen to it today.

[@tomcruisefan73]

this song is so beautiful...jackson is so beautiful...

[@Goralyna123]

Such beautiful guitar work. That sense of standing outside yourself, seeing the pain, but at the same time, having a smile at yourself for the melodrama. (Oh that's much too old a story to believe.) Probably my favourite beside "Late for the Sky".

[@johnmiller9326]

Stumbled across Jackson Browne's music in 1975. Since The Pretender came out in '76 I've worn out 3 vinyl copies. Still collecting Cd's and vinyls of his music when I can find them. Jackson is not unlike most of us in that he excels in one or more things in his life and yet has human limitations and failures in other areas. So he not only inspires me creatively, he helps me cut myself a little slack regarding my own shortcomings. Thank you Jackson!

[@theiukman]

37 years later it has not aged. The album was a gem. He is a gem. The song is a gem. Thanks for posting it.

Absolutely agree with Tom above. I've been listening to Jackson's music with David Lindley and others 460 years now. Very hard to believe cuz his songs seem to be timeless. So very very sad to hear up David's passing. That spot will never be filled in any way shape or form. He will be so greatly missed. I can't imagine how Jackson this feeling about that.

[@jaymarks1]

Mr. Lindley is a sparkling gem 🙏

[@leiweg49]

1976, the same Year when I saw JB in Heidelberg, Germany. Just great, I'll never forget it.

[@gudlikeplan182]

The papers lie there helplessly In a pile outside the door I've tried and tried But I just can't remember what they're for The world outside is tugging Like a beggar at my sleeve Oh, that's much too old a story to believe And you know that it's taken its share of me Even though you take such good care of me Now you say Morocco and that makes me smile I haven't seen Morocco in a long, long while The dreams are rolling down Across the places in my mind And I've just had a taste of something fine The future hides and the past just slides England lies between Floating in a silver mist so cold and so clean California's shaking like an angry child will Who has asked for love and is unanswered still And you know that I'm looking back carefully 'Cause I know that there's still Something there for me But you said Morocco and you made me smile And it hasn't been that easy for a long, long while And looking back into your eyes I saw them really shine Giving me a taste of something fine Something fine Now if you see Morocco I know you'll go in style I may not see Morocco for a little while But while you're there I was hoping You might keep it in your mind To save me just a taste of something fine

You don't have to love the vid. The song & performance is what matters.

[@beerman204]

"California's shaking like an angry child will, who has asked for love, and is unanswered still..." For me this song and duet reaches a pure and real place.....flirting with love, and knowing how it can be tempered with deep sadness as well. Perhaps this song is most appreciated when one is free, however briefly, from the superficial tones of modern busy life, but it is so worth it.

This really is time travel - it takes me back to the first audio drama I played in, 'Moon Over Morocco'. "Something fine" was the song at the end of session and it make me think of ZBS and all the characters who played their parts. I can still see the pine tree outside the studio window.

[@tennisbumojai]

it's always GREAT to see him!! again, you did RIGHT thing to send it! Great JB specially when he sings "something fine"!!

[@JohnnyCardinale]

Jackson was so far beyond his years.

[@4FabBEATLES]

@juliekstroup Jackson has always been wise beyond his years. he wrote his1st song ("These Days") at age 16. he got a record contract when still in his teens, and in this show he was only 28.

[@susanb502]

Jackson and David were just babies then. Hope to see you both again soon. You're both still Something Fine!

[@mitchk2981]

When this song came out I was in a tumultuous college intense relationship with a girl I had been friends with for a long time. She had broken up with her long term boyfriend and had started dating a grad student and somehow we took our relationship to a very short but very intense level in between. She and the grad student were heading off for a trip to Morocco and when I told her she would probably forget me, she, knowing the song, said, “no, I will save you something fine.” We never got together again, but this song always had that odd special meaning for me.

[@stargazer6753]

This just strikes me as so beautiful and so perfect in so many ways the more I see this. First the song , of course, then Jackson and then David in their own perfection and then the look ; the classic white shirt on Jackson against the black background with David Lindley also wearing a white shirt and it all comes together as a perfect performance. This can be said for all of their other performances on OGWT on this night.

It is preposterous that neither Lindley or Ry Cooder are in the RRHF. Proof it is all just coporate BS. They are both extraordinary gifted and uncompromising musians highly respected by their peers. They are not interested in fame or riches, but the creation of meaningful and enduring art that is music.
