Went to a Jackson Browne concert in Baton Rouge early 70's. I can still visualize them preforming this song when I hear it. The keyboard guy sat quietly all night until he opened his mouth on this one. The audience exploded.

[@elghoutibrahimi7593]

thank You very much for this exceptionel song of the best of all Jackson Browne... thank You very much for the vidéo

[@ciaran5588]

This was one of my favourite songs in my early childhood. If you can remember 8 track cassettes, what a time to live.

[@badelson1103]

I still want you to play! Cheers to the roadies and everyone that make the magic happen.

1972. I was a junior in HS. Good times. Love Jackson Browne.

[@cynthiasatchell130]

I first heard Jackson Browne in the fall of 1974 in my first semester in college. He has been my favorite performer, singer/songwriter, and poet ever since. He is a sage and storyteller for our generation and an avenue into the meaning of our existence, losses and wins, and political perspectives. I have nothing but love and well-wishes for this genius, poet and pied-piper of the spirit. We all will be forever grateful...

[@savanahmclary4465]

I can't hear this without thinking of my Husband. He was an electrical, audio engineer and production and auditorium manager for "Little Nashville Opry," in Nashville, Indiana. But he freelanced with many stars...in many venues, all over the USA. He loved Jackson Brown and this song... Cancer is a horrible thing!

The greatest song from back in the day.... remember it so well while cruising to the cottage in my '66 Coronet with my family all singing as loud as could be..... will never forget those times.

[@MrBBang]

This song bring back memory from the late 70's when I was working as a busboy for a minimum wage of $2.25/hour in a restaurant at a truck stop in South Dakota. It was playing on the jukebox. Man, I miss those good old days where America was once a great place to live.

[@PCenterNC]

My Whole life... Seems like a song. All My memories of sadness, happiness, triumphs, failures, Learning to play several instruments, performing...(Very Little, except among Friends)… Love, Hate (which I try not to burden Myself with)….. Music I heard at those times... It was ALWAYS THERE. Even when I felt really screwed over by People I Loved... Always There.

You were paid well, maybe? I was on A$49/ fortnight. LP's were A$4.95, almost 2 days wages. They were worth every penny.

[@winemeister]

Wow, I agree about the video, absolutely brilliant! Thank you! I recall the 60s, playing drums, going from place to place, not in the same league as Jackson, and always in our own transport, but the message was exactly the same then as it is now. The playing time was what it was all about and was just too darned short! I was always too nervous to go on, but then never enjoyed finishing, we could've played all night back then. Car was always packed up the previous night so we were ready to go, and sometimes we'd travel a fair way but we were never late except when we got home! Great song(s).

[@mohamedmouttaki2551]

From morocco. We remember this song and Jackson brown in my city Rabat. It s good time 77 year to 87.

At the precise moment this song was being played and recorded, I was standing next to my father, my Best Man, about to be married in the chapel of the Pines Presbyterian Church in Houston, Texas. When the "Running On Empty" album came out in 1978, I found that out by reading the liner notes.

[@donaldclark8464]

Best concert I've ever seen, Jackson Brown and Linda Ronstadt, at San Jose Center for the Performing Arts...1974. At the end both bands came back on stage and just jammed. Nobody left...don't think anyone even sat down. Never forget it!

[@tomhodges3790]

I was lucky enough to see him perform this live at the Summit in Houston, Texas. That was the early 80's, maybe '82, and the opening act was John Cougar Mellencamp. Great show, This was the encore to top it all!

I was 20 when this song came out and a member of the us navy. My buddy, Fred Chaney and I, would drive down the road in Charleston, sc listening and singing along. Very few worries. To be young and carefree, again. But I guess that’s the secret to life: in our youth we don’t realize just how fleeting, fast, and short this life truly is.

[@pogmothon84]

Minimum wage? I'm not thinking about rolling out of bed. Let alone touching a road case for that.

[@galtha5824]

Another way to think about those lyrics is young kids working for a low wage in a job that gets them close to the performers, watch the shows for free and have some fun. This was likely a temporary job for most people. Who makes a career out a being a Roadie? Get real.
