Jackson Browne: The Load Out & Stay - 1977 (Live) (My "Stereo Sound" Re-Edit) R.I.P. David Lindley

[@themaltesepenny3504]

I WAS THERE!!!!

[@dslao]

As a kid with no money to buy cassettes or vinyls when this came out, I waited for this song to play on the radio with an old cassette in the slot on stand-by. Once I hear the intro, I pressed the record button. I feel like a criminal.

[@beachdog67]

Maybe. But crime is service to a better good.

[@unterwant]

if you did not sell the cassetes for money you should LOAD OUT your feelings and STAY happy ...... 🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@stevewzorn]

Can't tell you how many times I've listened to this song. Love when Rosemary Butler and David Lindley sing falsetto in Stay part of the song. Didn't we have the very best music?

[@ilviolino1]

We did indeed!

[@roboneil408]

Yes, the very best music was written, made and produced from the late 1960's thru 1979.

[@cynthiapatterson9454]

If I could pick a decade to go back to it would be the 70's! It's been one hell of a ride and I'd do it all again.

Saw Jackson a few years back on his one man up close show. He carried the whole show, took requests!!, can you imagine with that repitoire? Been in love with him since i was a freshman in high school when i first heard running on empty and dr my eyes. We had the music in my generation. Never beatable.

[@roboneil408]

Agreed!

[@peterblack3665]

We lift a simple glass to all the fallen of the 60s 70s friends who lived the decades together then faded away ......oh but what a time we lived.......

[@carlariggs525]

I worked a concert in 1970's in my college fieldhouse when he played this song. I cried as I was backstage (we did his dressing room and actually put up chairs). great musician and nice guy

[@KittyGrizGriz]

Your cool story gave me the chills; what a fabulous memory of Jackson and the band, so very lucky! 😅

[@cliffshaw6530]

Holy crap! I’ve been listening to this song since it came out and I never knew that David Lindley was singing the falsetto.

[@chriscorona4938]

Yep, if you read the album sleeve/cover carefully- it referenced "Rare vocal appearance by David Lindley." I was disappointed seeing Jackson live the next year, that Lindley didn't do the falsetto part himself.

[@michaelsapsis4574]

yup. Dat's him. Did this show in 77. what a blast.

[@susanfromnola8661]

We got country and western on the bus...Richard Pryor on the video! The 70s...I want to go back!! PEACE OUT!

Yes indeed!!!!

[@roxanneb6208]

That’s the truth! I’m glad I was born in the 60’s, had a brother who was 11 years older than me and got to experience the best music as the background of growing up. The music has helped me through some of the worst times of my life and has also intertwined with some of the Greatest memories of my life. All of us that grew up during this time are so fortunate!

[@leonardsturm411]

Jackson’s voice moves through your soul. It pierces your emotions.This brings back memories that I can only try to grasp and tearfully see in a fun youthful past never again to exist. Only a distant memory.

[@Denise-tt1hq]

The best is ahead.Keep the faith.

[@markwood162]

I've always liked how it sounds like it is ad libbed, with irregular rhyming schemes and syntax. It was probably meticulously composed. But his delivery sells it convincingly as an off-the-cuff song. It ranges from melancholy to playful throughout. And the way it builds is masterful.

[@joeybenoit6269]

Markwood! You know music 🎶🎶 kiddo! Jackson Browne disciple!!! Namaste, looking East, too many angels, information wars, before the deluge, take it Easy....

[@moonbubbles3046]

Perfectly stated

[@craigsjoberg-fi2ug]

I saw him in 1978. Basically, it's the same ensemble. It's one of my favorite concerts.

[@chuckwallet]

And I still find it hard to believe that the dude playing slide has such a high pitched voice! I always thought it was a woman. ❤

[@dj012001]

This whole package is brilliant. Markwood162, I think you are correct - it took a long to write and a long time to compose. I have read the JB sometimes took over a year to write one song. I think, as much as he gets some fairly big accolades, he is underrated in his writing, composing and performing.

[@dicksonfranssen]

Every time I move, every new car, every new stereo, this album gets played first. Before you come for my piano....

[@KMC544]

I’m 60. Had a few beers and just found this. It’s like we’re in the car listening at one of many places. We all have different memories. This defined a small part of my high school yrs. Remember buying the album and just staring at the cover and the credits. It was such an experience to learn about these people in the linear notes. Loved my time at one time, not all the time. JB TY

[@paulmorphew1520]

One of my best friends battled cancer, breast, lungs, then brain. She was in so much pain. She didn't smoke cigarettes and I did some work for her and went into her house. Ashes on coffee table, she had been smoking weed to help with pain. I said light one up for both of us. She donated to the animal shelters and I took her to Lowes to buy a carport thing to go over the cat's cages that were outside. This song came on at Lowes. She said I bet you don't think I know who it is?? She said I'm cool, people just don't know it Her name was Myla and I called her Milo after the little pug dog movie. I took her to her chemotherapy, stayed with her, was my best buddy. RIP MYLA SMITH. Best friend ever. I wish people would STAY forever.....

[@KittyGrizGriz]

I’m glad you had Milo as a friend she sound’s so compassionate & left the world in a better place. Sounds like she was lucky to have you too. My oldest brother Robert passed unexpectedly a few weeks ago. He was the 1st of 4 sibs to die (I’m the baby), it’s so new & hurts so bad, grief sucks. Bless you sweet person❤

[@roxanneb6208]

@paulmorphew1520 how fortunate Milo was to have you in her life as a real friend. My oldest brother (11 years older) introduced me to JB, among other musicians, starting when I was 5 years old. My brother had an old 1952 Diamond T pickup that he outfitted with a cassette player. I remember like it was yesterday him driving us on the levees, down in the RGV of south TX, listening to JB’s songs. He taught me the meaning of Doctor My Eyes, Gold Dust Woman by FM and many others. I lost him in 1998 at the age of 46 by suicide. It was the worst thing I’ve ever experienced and just writing about it now is making me cry. I’m sorry for the loss of your brothers.

[@paulmorphew1520]

@@roxanneb6208 So sorry for your loss. I'm still falling apart now. I just lost my daughter October 24th, 35 years old. Never complained, worked her butt off. Coroner said liver failure.

[@luvbasses5487]

Jim Gordon on the drums here! This guy was a true phenomenon on the skins, really. His playing was so earthy/organic. Very special talent to be able to play behind the beat by just a hint here. Yes, we all know his tragic story but…he’d been misdiagnosed for YEARS. His condition is a very common one. PS: this footage is from ‘78…with audio from the year before.

[@grantgilbertson3533]

David Lindley makes this song so much better, love his falsetto punctuating the crescendo

I used to work for a traveling family entertainment show but on the concession side. We typically had between 7-10 shows a week Thursday through Sunday in one city for around 32 weeks straight, I did it for 6 years but on about 10 different shows. Every Sunday about an hour before the first show starts this song would be played for a good load out. There were three sides for each show, 1 is obviously the Performers, 2 The Crew/Roadies, 3 concessions. People come to see the Performers but the crew is what makes it possible and then concessions is how everyone gets paid cause our ticket prices are low and venue makes most of the profit or goes for renting the facility for the week. For the most part we were all one big family. We lived, work, eat traveled altogether which is close to hundred people give or take. It's been just over seven years since my last show but this song still hits whenever I hear it.

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

Years ago I owned a small equipment company. We had forklifts for rent and when shows came to our local theater I would get a call to provide a forklift for the the load in and out. Basically I would sit on my forklift until the guy in charge yelled "fork" and I knew it was my turn to move something heavy. I learned a lot about how these shows go from town to town and what it takes to put it all together. This song reminds me of those days.

Lindley played with Rod Stewart too and Linda Ronstadt and Ry Cooder and Warren Zevon. He's a legend.
