Jackson Browne (The Load-Out & Stay - Live 1978) Kel's Reaction

[@89801wink]

Country Music, R&B, Disco, on cassette and 8-Track, Richard Pryor on video, Truckers on CB. All on the bus at the same time. Accurately describes the 70's.

[@prestigeworldwide5239]

I had a CB handle at age 9 in the '70s. 🤣

[@tomkane7536]

I just stumbled onto this posting. I grew up on Jackson Browne. I was at Merriweather Post Pavilion that night. It was The Pretender Tour. He played and recorded "Running on Empty" (after a break, Jackson came on stage alone, at the piano, said: "Id like to play I've never played in public before .. ". The crowd was quiet and listening. When he sang "when the lights go down and we hear that sound and we remember why we came ... " the stage exploded in light, the band kicked in (Russel on the drums, Rosemary in backing vocals), the entire crowd in the amphitheater immediately jumped up. They closed with The Load-Out / Stay. Both cuts are on the album. That night was a lifetime memory!

[@Kel.N.RichReactions]

Awesome memories! Thank you for sharing something so special. KnR ❤️❤️👏👏👏👏

[@jnagarya519]

I hope no one misses the melancholy throughout the song.

[@Pxtwny_chill]

If you've ever played in a band that tours or worked as a roadie you will know... they are the ones who make it all happen. What a lovely tribute to them!

[@englitguy7076]

Mr Dave (David Lindley) rippin it up on lap steel and falsetto!! You will be missed

[@adrianfernandonoya5196]

No because he lives in our hearts and memories.

[@larrystuder8543]

There's a story about the guitarist singing falsetto. They discussed it, planned it, rehearsed it without telling Jackson. One night, live, the guitarist got up and headed fir the mike. Jackson was like, "What's going on?, and the guy started to sing. Jackson, and the crowd, loved if, and they used it as a finale for a long time.

[@IanThoreson]

A love letter to those that make it all possible.

[@gregleblanc9357]

Best song ever by Jackson Brown. It's beyond amazing

[@guillermoperis1673]

Absolutely LEGENDARY. Mythical. Takes one back to an era when stars were foremost musicians and commited with their art. That's what Jackson Browne was throughout his career.

[@robertpistone1698]

I was a roadie for 10,yrs. And this was my way of living,!!😊

[@Aghorri]

The guy on the slide guitar (who also sings a verse of Stay) is David Lindley. My wife calls him the most famous musician you never heard of and he's worth YouTubing. Lindley is a virtuoso on the slide guitar and fiendishly talented on a horde of other instruments. His concerts are absolutely wonderful . Take a listen if you get a free moment.

[@budmiller807]

RIP

[@mikedineen7857]

Loved your reaction to this wonderful artist.

[@jakebrown2721]

Thank you both for showing telling and loving the history of such great Music. Being a 67 year old Black man the 70's were a hard time for many the War woke up the minds of many and in the end we had the Music..... and it was all we needed to get us to the next stop. I was so lucky to be part of that history I miss the talent of those days again Thank you so much.

[@jasonremy1627]

The entire Running on Empty album is one of the best concept albums done. It opens with Running on Empty and ends with this, and every song is about life as a touring musician. The entire thing was recorded on the road, some on stage, and some in hotel rooms and on the bus and backstage. It's so good as an entire album

[@dandyer2616]

In my top 5...in no particular order Love it!

[@karenmandeville7116]

was a roadie in the mid to late 70s-this song has always had a special place.

[@c.willharden9589]

Right?? Showing love and respect will take you far in life. I loved is song before i ever became a stagehand for the union/Local 321 IATSE...maybe even influenced me to do e work.

[@5346565]

Me too Karen. Same timeframe, same effect.

[@O_Towne_Bear]

Roadied local bands in the 80s. ("Cables!") *some will know*

[@robertcartier5088]

I remember wanting to do that, too... I was from a small town, and that would have been the rock'n'roll equivalent of running away and joining the circus! ;-)

[@williammontgomery6132]

Late 70’s worked at New Haven Colosseum.Built the stage.Hockey season covered the ice.Etc.You guys were the roadies we were the Homies.I have no idea how the term Homies became today’s lingo.We were the original Homies working with each acts roadies & groupies.

[@troycampbell7408]

I saw this tour when they played in Fort Worth. One of the best concerts I ever saw.

[@Stephen-nd1sx]

My sister bought this album in 1979 I listened to it more than she did. I still have it because I'm the only family member with a turn table ...still sounds great!

[@waynemckinney7312]

You can't listen to the load out without Stay.

It's like do foreplay without actually getting to smash

[@johnstarace8369]

Even though I’m a tried and true Metal Head you just can’t help love this combo of songs. It’s pure gold. Jackson Browne was a great song writer

[@davidpaxton3590]

Is a great song writer.

[@kellycraig-slogar6676]

This performance wasn't planned as part of the set list ~ They had been working on it and at the end of the show, Jackson thought why not, let's give it a go ~ Pretty spectacular first go live ~ Jackson and David Lindley collaboration during over the years has been one of the best in the industry!!!

[@mikedineen7857]

You can’t forget Rosemary

[@raycewilliams3300]

Thanks for doing this Jackson Browne live version. BTW.... it is my understanding that the first amplifier made specifically to amplify guitars was invented by Leo Fender in 1947.

[@steadfastneasy26]

@Kel-n-Rich YO !!!!! Me Mark!! So happy you grabbed this one!! As usual it is SOOOOOO much fun seeing Kel's reaction which is genuine and accurate. Thanks again for picking it. Now my mission is to get you folks to co-react (I'm 99% certain you've never heard it, Rich) to my Jefferson Starship request (it's on your list) for "Awakening". As stated previously, it's kind of proggy in construction and delivery but my main thrust is the lead guitar work in the second half of the song. It TRULY compares to absolutely any other lead piece I know of...... and I know A LOT of them. In fact, I would ask/challenge any and all commentators here to also go and give this song a listen and, if you agree with me, say so to KnR. My next challenge would be to Rich specifically and that would be to give the whole album (Freedom at Point Zero) a listen straight through. It's one of those that you don't have to touch once you start it. You should recognize at least two songs on it (Jane and Rock Music) so it's not completely unfamiliar territory for you. My last challenge from before still stands ..... if I'm wrong about "Awakening" I will happily have breakfast delivered to you at your convenience from a local to you establishment that does so. See, the thing is, I know my money is safe .... I'm THAT confident. Again, if you do pick it, send me an email and I will shoot one back with tidbits of knowledge surrounding it. Take care you two. Mark, Detroit suburb.

[@steadfastneasy26]

P.S. Hi back at ya Kel!!

[@rondohunter8966]

Starship? Why I remember when they first began they could hardly afford their Airship. But they got big and rich, great songs and tours, bought themselves a Starship to tour around on. Much safer that way. Yeah would really like to hear me some Jefferson Airp...Starship. With new and improved Photon Drive for efficiency and speed out there in the great beyond the solar system. But I can still hear the music. Thanks to the electromagnetic spectrum. I've got one...well, part of one.

[@1957PLATO]

I get all warm when I hear this song. Jackson Browne, so underrated.

[@keithrichman6918]

Yet another example of the adorable laugh of joy from Kel in this video reaction. Miss you guys!

[@charlesrobinson8534]

Love you kids. I’m 58 so appreciate the music.

[@diane2193]

Brought tears of where did life go and remembering such great times.What happened.Jackson rules.

[@dmskon]

Browne + Lindley = Magic.

[@armadillotoe]

Lindley got such great sound out of cheap ass guitars.

[@Katherine-15-12]

Jackson Browne is awesome . I am a 65 yo Aussie and I have been to 2 of his concerts here in Melbourne. Load Out and Stay is always played at the end of the show. It blows my mind everything I hear this. Thank you Jackson 🙏

[@jlhilbert1]

I was fortunate enough to sit in the 4th row of his show in 1978 tour. Jackson Browne was often credited by Glenn Frye as teaching him how to craft and write a song.

[@jdog6620]

Wow, that's awesome.

[@moondawg3693]

Frye and Brown wrote the Eagles first hit, "Take it to the Limit".

[@tomcollens4621]

Howh great was this?! Still, 15 years past my musical prime. But they still played & wrote music. What a great time. Today is total crap! So glad I was a ‘50-‘70’s guy.

[@jamessmiley6739]

My favorite song of all time. Petty sure I was conceived to this song 😂 the dates check out

[@83hamdog]

Yep, saw it live at Universal Amphitheatre in LA. The Blues Brothers opened the show! One of my all time favorite concerts.

[@GBeret83]

Saw him in 79' with my late older brother who passed in 2009 from cancer. Still one of the greatest live shows from go to woe that I've ever seen. TWO ENTHUSIASTIC THUMBS UP for doing a reaction to this one!

[@timothydoyle4033]

People know his music. So many classics. He has such a clean voice. His music is easy, fun and his stories are worth listening to.

[@195511SM]

Attended a J. Browne concert in the early 80s. Lawn seating at our local fairgrounds. A cool breeze toward the beginning of Fall.....right around sunset. I had a great spot, seated on the grass about 30 feet from the stage. All I can remember though....was this girl returning from the concession stand. She was carrying two large beers, and she tripped over someone & spilled one of those beers on ME. Of course, I hadn't brought a jacket & was shivering in a soaking wet tee shirt thru most of the concert.

[@keelsmac01]

195511SM hysterical story...haha. Not laughing at ya...but wit ya

[@johnhalverson1133]

Some of JB's new stuff is really good (ie A Little Soon to Say and Downhill from Everywhere) He is almost unrecognizable from his younger self....I can relate as we are about the same age. He ages well like fine wine. What a great songwriter who has been around since the wild and crazy 60's

[@skridtractor875]

This was my older brother's era and I used to listen to his records & 8-tracks all the time. Thanks for this, it brings a smile and many great memories of discovering this music as a teen.

[@steve-eq8kx]

Great song that always chokes me up. I especially like the "Stay" refrain. It reminds me of the early 60s. (I'm 65 now) My cousin had a 45 rpm of Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs doing Stay. I wore it out. I think at that time it was the shortest record to make it in the top ten as it was only 1 minute and 38 seconds long. That may be part of the reason I couldn't get enough of it. Love you guys!

[@mikefleischauer498]

I worked in the box office at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland during the summers of 1973, 1977, & 1978. I was there for this incredible performance!

[@Blbbbb]

“Stay” is such a great and classic song. Love it.❤❤❤

[@garybuck2656]

Jackson Browne was a huge hit for several years and kind of faded off the radio. This song was on a great album. One of the Eagles stayed in the same place as him before they were a band, maybe when some of them backed up Linda Ronstadt. He was asked about influences in his ability to write songs. He said he would listen to Jackson work on one. Play it over and over, change a little thing here a word there until it was just right. All night hour after hour. This brings back visual memories of my first apt. and my stereo on the floor in the living room, everyone grooving to this album, Rush 2112, others at that time. Thanks :-)

[@JohnCran]

In 1978 there was a late night music show on Friday nights here in Brisbane and thats where I fell in love with this video. When it finally became available on YT here in Oz I was very happy and every so often I just cast to the tv and crank the volume.

[@carterlink]

Just one of my favourite singer/songwriters ever. A legend in my eyes. The guy wrote 'These Days' when he was only 17 years old! A song so full of experience and melancholy. That's a special gift.

[@noebrunn6242]

love this since i was a kid , i had to "stole" the vinyl from my uncle when he was at work to hear it .

[@jwichman9]

Love you guys! You remind me of when I was young and we would all bring our 45's and spend the whole day listening and singing along. Kel I'm so glad you are experiencing all this great music!!! Rich you have opened a whole new world for her. This has to be a big thrill for you too! God bless you both for sharing with us. This should and can go on forever!

[@garykelly7422]

Yeah classic Jackson Brown,his sound is so smooth. Love it 👍👍

[@lawrenceofarabiaarabia9177]

Born in ‘72 and grew up on Jackson Browne, but that’s because my parents were fans. Therefore I knew every word by the time I was ten. Enjoy!

[@MRBrien77]

As a 20 year stagehand I have put in a lot of hours building stages, putting up the lighting, sound and video walls. We are what we call FILO ( First In Last Out ) with almost no recognition or appreciation for all of our hard work. So this song is very special to me and the Brotherhood of Stage Pirates

[@fredkrissman6527]

Saw this concert tour, which had Bonnie Raitt's band as the opening act, and joined his band for the final 2 encore songs... A particularly fun evening!

[@agentrobtaylor]

I used to listed to the Jackson Brown Live cassette. I was in tech school for the USAF in Illinois ('80) freezing my ass off but this helped. Watched several of your reacts yesterday and they were brilliant. I am choosing the ones that take me back down memory lane...and then listen again. Kel must be Somebody's Baby. You guys are awesome. Keep it up...Cheers

[@maryannturton9830]

Well,I can tell by Rich's RUSH shirt that he knows good music,so,let's go! Jackson Browne's voice is amazing,as is our lady that can belt,and our top tier falsetto guy! This song makes you feel the band's life on the road!🎶🙌

[@rodcampbell5766]

This is my favourite Jackson Browne song. Still great listening 40 years later.

Another great tune from Jackson Browne and live versions are even better as he was such a great musician ! Thanks for sharing !

This two-song classic was the soundtrack to an entire year in the college dorm. And of course, his tour stopped at the arena on campus to add an additional memory.

[@sallysmith5090]

Am aging myself here.. husband (46 yrs today!)& I saw Jackson live at the Mann Center in Philadelphia waaay back.. (1980?) just love this song. I agree -I think that this is his best and that's saying something.. .. Thanks!!

[@bigbow62]

This song is a masterpiece & a tribute for the behind the scene workers that keep the show movin'... "Jackson really put in the time" ( Glenn Frye - RIP ) who lived below him in the same building said he Could hear Jackson pounding out a song for hours and hours then he'd hear the tea kettle whistle blow for a ten minute break... then he was back at it,over and over for hours on end... "dedication, time, persistence, that's how you write a song" ! Glenn got a lesson that he never forgot ( From the history of the Eagles ) K-n-R love the channel man... keep rockin' 😎🎹

[@jypziiatthecrossroads9047]

Yeah, this song makes me tear up, too! It's a really, really good way to close a show.

[@sonnytfox]

His song These days is the saddest song I`ve ever heard. He wrote it at 17 years old. The last line of the song Don`t confront me with my failures for I have not forgotten them is the one line that really hits home.

[@c.willharden9589]

I will listen to immediately

[@cspringer333]

I believe he was only 16 when he wrote "These Days"

[@ingridstrickland8768]

Allison Young ahhhh yes, love Greg Allman doing These Days.

[@Bamaboompa]

It’s SO hard to believe he wrote the lyrics to “These Days “ at that age. Same said for John Prine’s “Hello In There” And now that I am “of a certain age”, how hearing those songs change. Lots of covers done of “These Days” By far MY favorite is David Alan Coe. It just sounds like he’s not singing a song, he’s telling HIS story. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bonOhWWQnbRod6s

JB is my all time favorite singer-songwriter because he always tells a meaningful story in all of his songs. Once again David Lindley caught me by surprise with his vocals in this.

[@Idefixu]

Love this one. Used to sing to this at home a couple of decades ago, even recorded my singing for the first time ever. Poor neighbours! I loaned the album 'Saturate before using' from local library long time ago, but the only song I loved was Song for Adam. A masterpiece. Used to sing along from the top of my lungs. David Lindley's falsetto vocals!!!

[@tommathews3964]

What a great song writer! I'm betting you've heard "Take it Easy" by the Eagles, yep, it's a JB song. I've seen him several times, and once, in a small theatre setting, he said...."I'd like to do a Gregg Allman song that I wrote" in reference to Gregg's wonderful version of Jackson's "These Days" It took a second, but cracked up the house! Jackson's version is magical as well. That "For Everyman" album is pure gold from start to finish! David Lindley is genius! As a former roadie for two bands, this has always been a favorite of mine!

[@jamessweet5341]

[@marty3888]

Thanks for showing this version. Rich, I'm sure you remember the album this song came on was live, yet it faded out at the end so we never got to hear how he ended it. Also, it was cool to see the people who were singing those "stay" parts. I wondered if it might have even been Jackson Brown.
