The Section featuring Craig Doerge, Danny Kortchmar, Leland Sklar and Russ Kunkel reunite with Jackson Browne at the 2018 NAMM TEC Awards held at the NAMM Show in Anaheim, CA., to perform "Running On Empty".
Also featuring the Lennon Brothers on backing vocals.

I continues to amaze me that, while most people "know" him because they know this song or Doctor, My Eyes, he is still relatively unknown in terms of his body of work. Astounding.

[@JohnnyCardinale]

Agree, personally I think its because his lyrics and message was way more complex than, say, James Taylor (who I love, but really, wasn't all that deep lyrically). Jackson challenged people, he wasn't "easy."

[@ericgray8483]

@@JohnnyCardinale My wife and I discuss that exact thing. She loves JB, but likes JT more. I get it, JT is more "accessible" and I don't mean that as a criticism, he's just not as complex.

I'd rather say that old folks can play great music (although Russ Kunkel didn't get his groove really going until near the end of the piece ... but it's hard to play a generic "awards show" type kit). It's all real music. There's young kids playing with the mind-blowing skills they have only because these guys took their instruments beyond the prior generation, each generation taking music places our imagination and our skills couldn't take us before. This music does feel like home to me too ... but it's all real music.

After my grandparents sold the tavern.. my dad and I would sit by our old Zenith home stereo and play records from the jukebox from his parents old tavern. I would read out titles that I had never heard of and he would say...yeah great song ..put it on. I learned so much great music from him. I learned to love music.

When we grew up, you would listen to radio and they'd play Cream followed by The Jackson Five followed by Classical Gas, Hair, CCR, Bowie, etc. We had a wide variety of influences, and the music was all the better for it. Take away their autotune and most of today's "talent" would be history.

The musicians in this group are excellent in their own field and play as tight as any top band. But as a bass player of many years standing i have to say that it is going to be very difficult to best Leland Sklar as he is without doubt other than John Entwhistle the greatest bass player of all time. If you watch this video carefully you will notice that he feels the song with his body movements and is completely absorbed in the song and he looks at the other main player either singer or the lead guitar as if joined at the hip. His runs are not over the top and in fact are just what the song needs, his run at the end of the song is just brilliant as is the timing in the hook at about 4.00 when he and the lead guitar are in unison. You should also notice how he keeps the driving beat by playing the same note on different strings. There are no false notes and in fact he is the heart of this song as the bass the main driver. You don't get to play with the greatest performers by being average or even excellent you have to be the best. He has benefitted from playing with different instrumentalists in various styles over the many years and it shows in his mastery of the bass guitar. I am in awe of his playing and would be over the moon if i could just have a small portion of his talent.

Timeless song. Ageless, handsome man. Anything more to say?🌺

[@jpay22]

Good performance but sadly missing David Lyndley's slide

[@rossrowley4331]

Agreed......

[@JustGoBackpacking]

The song is never the same without Lyndley! Still good, but not the same.

[@shitfer]

I came to say the same. Lindley's slide playing is horribly missing.

[@denembro]

Even so Danny did a great job playing both guitar parts.

[@jpay22]

He did indeed:) For me, I've always seen Browne as the heart and Lindley as the soul of his early to mid-career.

A hundred years ago I was in the Navy, beach det. in the P.I. Everyone had great stereo equipment (it was available at the Navy exchange) But we had very little music! Maybe six albums and some tape between the four or five of us? But someone had ' For Everyman ' we wore it out! I think it really spoke to us about where we were during that time. The whole Goddamn Vietnam thing, Nixon and Watergate ! We were lonesome for the U.S.A. the one we grew up in. Thanks Jackson! that album gave me something to look forward too! Peace.

[@bradfordlibby9118]

Brings back memories of my teenage years, oh how the time flies.....

[@alanduncanson7322]

Wonderful ! As fresh now as it was 40 years ago and with the same people involved too. Close your eyes and you could be back in 1978 listening to the album.

[@mitchdaniels9683]

Danny K nice work- Scortchmar!!

[@jazzyboy7784]

I'm with ya man...

[@Stonelyrics1]

Just Love this! I've seen Jackson Browne quite a few times over the Decades. The Hold Out tour in 1980? was Awesome in L.A. He is One of My FAV vocalist/songwriters of All Time. What a Treat to See one of my BFF most Talented Friends Marky Lennon on stage singing backup. An Amazing vocalist/songwriter in his own right too. Definitely will be saving this. Music use to be SO GOOD. Most of it is just noise these Days.

[@RH-vl2wy]

40 years later and can still rock

[@alciaran]

Glad to see Mr.Danny Kortchmar

[@KarenTobinSings]

Rosemary sounds so great, and all the guys rocked it. Jackson is great voice and so happy I got to see this infamous song performed by the best damn section in the world. Awesome.

[@mjshuja1948]

YOU DON’T THE STORY OF ROSEMARY BUTLER,SHE CORRECTED HIM😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

[@jettcarlburg356]

This is one of those great songs that the older we get, the more relevant it becomes.

[@troythegreat7369]

I still get butterflies when I hear this tune and this band is still excellent.

[@sdmackpictures]

He still makes it all look easy and sounds incredible.

[@realcoolbreeze]

Great still. They all walk off like... “ no big deal “...... but it really was well done after time has marched on.

[@martinhowerton9038]

I remember running around with my buddy down the street in his pontiac sunbird listening to this on the 8 track. Great song, great memories!!

[@jasonbarney4737]

The world needs more great music like this. Why music like this does not continue is beyond me.

[@Carrera6rennsport]

I closed my eyes and could swear it was 1977--in the best way possible!!!

[@fab4fan173]

Currently enjoying Leland's You Tube channel!!

[@jackflash5659]

This is one of my all time favorite songs. Easily in my top 10 list. A true classic rock anthem. Jackson Browne you are a musical genious.

[@lmcventura5]

I have listened to Jackson Browne since my teens, have seen him live several times and his music never fails to bring me joy, peace, and tears at times. I enjoy all music but Jackson's music is my go to when I want to feel alive. I will listen for as long as I live......

[@DISCODAN1]

Brings me back to the late summer of 1979 in Ocean City, MD, right before I entered HS! This song was still huge at the time and I was 13 and meeting girls on the beach left and right and spending money on them down on the boardwalk that I had made cutting grass that summer. You couldn't tell me a thing! I felt like king of the world. Funny how a song can bring back a flood of such specific memories! Thank you Jackson Brown for being such a huge part of all of our lives growing up! Your song writing and instrumentation skills are second to none sir! Brilliant!
