[@lclk6156]

Something you may not have caught in this song: It is the start of an encore. The band has left, after a few minutes Jackson Browne comes back and starts this song alone. The rest of the band comes back one at a time, adding their instrument to the song until they are all back.

[@miraclehands9040]

Super interesting

[@phickle]

Cassettes, 8-tracks, CB's, truckers, magazines, Richard Pryor on video. This is just sooo 70's. What an awesome song that captures these vibes. What a great time to be alive.

Yes he was good. Saw him in his own band opening for Joe Walsh and also playing in Jackson Brownes band.

Lindley's Mercury Blues was pretty tight, too.

[@larryjohnston929]

I didn’t think he sung it on the record, only on live shows. I remember having the album. And I thought Maurice Williams, the guy who wrote it, was the singer. But it’s been a long time ago. So I could be wrong.

Guys, this whole album is a masterpiece, and should be listened to start to finish. For those of us who were around in 77, it was a case of the stars aligning, and the world stopping for a brief glimpse of perfection. Easily one of my favorite live albums of all time. Great song writing and musicianship.

This album was nominated for two Grammys in 1979, including Album of the Year -- which, personally, I think it should've won. Masterpiece.

[@myysupenguins]

Not sure it was nominated for LP of the year in 1979. Nor would he have had a chance. I used to write articles for my HS paper and I followed that stuff for a while. 1979 = "Breakfast in America", "Minute by Minute", "52nd-Street", "Night of the Living Dreggs". I do think that JB was nominated for his performance in 1979, not sure what song it was. LP award was Billy Joel's "52nd-Street" and the best artist was "Minute by Minute" by the Doobie Brothers, which I think set a record for grammy nominations and maybe even wins. 1977 was Browne's big year, with multiple nominations for the great "Runnin' on Empty" LP ... what a monster that was? 😀

If you watch the documentary on the Eagles, Glen Frey credits Jackson Brown's work ethic for educating the Eagles on how not to "Phone it in" in terms of song writing and tweaking everything to perfection. He was stunned at how much work Jackson spent on each song to get every word and note precisely correct, and they had to raise their own game.

[@batmanforpresident9655]

[@judysebern2005]

Agree, Pretender is a gem

[@sandyshoenberger2697]

The Pretender album does not get enough respect. The song The Pretender is a great song. People tend to skip that album and move on to the Running on Empty album. Every song on The Prentender is worth listening to, truly not a bad song.

[@crairdin]

I saw Jackson Brown on this tour. This was their encore, which turned into a whole nother set. The album is a concept album about being on the road. This song makes me tear up every time even 45 years after hearing it for the first time late one night working in the kitchen at Arbys. It captures the band's experience so well.

[@nancyheilman876]

Sniff, you found a sweet component of my young adulthood. This was typically the closing song and everyone waited for it. This entire album is genius. Rosemary Butler is the female backing vocal and David Lindley has played fiddle, slide, etc. with Mr. Browne for decades. They were perfectly in simpatico musically. Sadly, Mr. Lindley has passed on. Jackson Browne has been my pretend boyfriend forever . . .

[@norwegiantj]

Definitely my pretend boyfriend too lol

[@darksarcasm4835]

Mine too…

[@tayloryoung8336]

Jackson Browne has been my mom’s pretend boyfriend forever too. She has long told a story about being invited backstage but not going because she was pregnant at the time. I have no idea if it is true and she has dementia now, which has made her an even more unreliable reporter of facts. What I do know is that she dances while listening to Jackson Browne several times a day every day. I grew up on a steady diet of what we in GenX call classic rock, but there is no other artist where I can sing four of their albums word for word, which just proves what a devoted fan she was. Thanks for your comment. It really brought a smile and a tear. I love Jackson Browne for the joy, connection, and artistry he has given my mom and the rest of us. PS - I won’t make my mom jealous by telling her he was also your pretend boyfriend. It can be our secret.

[@wbychowski]

That "Great Voice" is the voice of one the greatest background vocalist of all time; Rosemary Butler. In addition to working with Jackson Browne on tour and in the studio, she has worked with Bonnie Raitt, Springsteen, Tom Petty, Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor, The Eagles, Bob Seger, Carole King and just about every other great music act from Billy Joel to Sir Paul McCartney.

[@itzel1735]

They still haven’t watched “20 Feet from Stardom” have they?

[@Willie_McBride]

Thank you, I knew that I knew her name, but of course forgot. I may have momentarily forgotten her name… but will NEVER forget her voice & the way she delivered that line! And it’s David Lindley repeating Butler’s line in that incredible falsetto (with Vibrato!!) there are times when I’ll just listen to this on a loop for an hour or two.

[@irishgrl]

Rolling Stones too?

[@wbychowski]

@@irishgrl Nope. The Stone's long time female "alpha" background singer was Lisa Fischer. Lisa and Rosemary were generally considered equals in the business. A band wouldn't need or hire both of them. Also, Lisa quit touring with the Stones as of 2015 and is working as a solo act.

Jackson Browne is one of the greatest singer/songwriters ever. His best hits include: "On The Boulevard", "Running On Empty", "In The Shape Of A Heart", "Tender Is The Night", "That Girl Could Sing", "You Love The Thunder", "Hold On, Hold Out", "Before The Deluge", "Rock Me On The Water", "Here Come Those Tears Again".

[@cerealspiller]

Jackson Browne definitely has song-writing chops. Also wrote "Take it Easy", Eagles.

[@theroadie7537]

Sorry but Jackson Browne did not write "Take it Easy". He did buy it from a friend of mine who did write it, so Jackson owns it and he does write good stuff. When words or music are credited, if it says by someone they wrote it but if it just has the name without the 'by' it means they own the rights.

[@DM-hk4cw]

A sentimental song about roadies that makes you cry.

[@clifton8929]

Jackson Browne's album 'LATE FOR THE SKIY' is considered his masterpiece album. You should give it a play or do the entire thing on Patron. It's loaded with his genius lyrics and playing. I've had that album since the day it came out in 1974, and I'm 74 now and still, play it often.

[@Maydoggie]

A very good album and I listen to it often. But my personal favorite is The Pretender album. I've owned it on vinyl, 8-track,,CD, and now digitally. The day I bought it, I had gone to the record store to buy "that album with Redneck Friend" (For Everyman), but they didn't have it in stock. So I decided to get The Pretender which I had never heard before. I went out and popped it into my 8-track player in my car, and it didn't come out for about 5 weeks. I just couldn't get enough of it. Out of every album I've ever heard, it is by far the one that I have selected and played the most often.

[@scottingram7634]

I've loved "Late For The Sky" since high school. Unbelievable lyrics. I remember they used to call Jackson Browne the rock poet.

[@kw99190]

Another great Jackson Browne: "Fountain of Sorrow." Also take note, "She's a Mystery to Me," performed by Roy Orbison and composed by Bono and the Edge. A real peak for all concerned!

Wish you guys could remember a time when there was time just to listen to this song. When there were only 3 channels on TV, so there was usually no reason to watch. When you listened to the radio for all the latest news and music. No MTV, just an old car stereo with a booster and some amped up speakers. No cell phones, so the people beside you were the only ones to talk to. And you listened to this song because it was the only sound on a teenage night, besides the crickets and the wind in the trees. Much love (from the 70s).

UNDOUBTEDLY ONE OF THE GREATEST CRUSING SONGS EVER !!! I LOVE JACKSON BROWN...SO MANY GREAT HITS !!!

[@SCVIndy]

Saw Jackson decades ago in Santa Barbara .. warm up before going on tour .. Don and Glenn of the Eagles lived under him early on said they learned how to write songs listening to him upstairs !

[@deloresdunbar1464]

Every time i hear this song when Rosemary hits that first note i get chills.

[@paulswanson534]

Man this brings back memories, listened to it a lot on the radio while working on a small farm in southern IL back in the day.

[@revchewie1]

I love this song! Hearing how much he appreciates his roadies and how much he loves making music. Just beautiful!

[@bonya4585]

I love it! Saw Jackson Browne live twice. Everything. This was the closer at both shows. Outstanding. “Pretender” is so good.

[@meldonbrindley7093]

Absolute great album. So cool how it was recorded: backstage, on a bus, and on stage.

[@ellenlewis9860]

So sorry. Loved him! You will be missed.😢

[@valelavidavivir5842]

What a GREAT song. I always liked it, but watching you guys made me remember how cool it was to hear the first time. Great story telling. Thanks for giving Jackson another chance. An S reaction by you guys, just needed an S rating.

[@jotoole129]

That’s exactly what I thought!

[@kendramccabe1054]

1977, I was a teenager who really liked funk and disco. I now can appreciate a wider range of great music...

[@bobbiehazzard2018]

Jackson is my unrequited love, he just doesn’t know it lol. Thanks for appreciating his work on this, the entire album is really cool albeit filled with 70’s drug enjoyment. I’m so glad he made it through. ❤

[@nana65dowd]

No he’s mine!!!!

[@DeannaAKADeanna]

First time to see you and I love the way you actually get into the music and REACT in real time as we see you listen. I've never been able to listen to this without singing along! (I had the album when I was in high school when it was released.)

[@JamieDavisBooks]

This was the closer, the one more song. Always chose the concert package every summer at Merriweather Post Pavilion in MD to include Jackson Browne. He never failed to deliver each and every time. Thanks for playing this. It really takes me back.

[@MrErrandboy]

love Merriweather post pavillion! i saw the beach boys there in 86.

[@jimtuell4076]

My understanding is that THIS recording was done in Merriweather Post. (Obviously, I might be wrong, but that is what I heard.) I lived in Columbia from 1997 to 2005, and went to concerts there several times.

[@JamieDavisBooks]

@@jimtuell4076 that’s my understanding, too. Unfortunately, I wasn’t at that particular concert but I can dream that is was I guess. 😀

[@winterlongone]

This WAS done at Merriweather Post Pavilion. I was there with 2 gfs. They told us they were recording. The late 70's...

[@cherylbommarito5569]

Sky blue and black is my favorite not only the music but also the poignant nostalgia of youth and the Love you thought would never leave is unbelievably unbearably lost. Still piercing in and out of your thoughts and heart, memories , both delightful and blistering .

[@KathySandru]

This and Bob Seeger’s “Turn the Page” are a wonderful glimpse into the life of a band on tour

[@kastnerr]

I'm envious, listening to this song for the first time, so much to take in. I've heard it 100s of times but the feelings just translate so well.

[@88wildcat]

One of the most audicous ideas in the history of rock and roll. A concept album about life on the road as a touring band recorded on the road as a touring band. Some songs were recorded live in concerts. Some songs were recorded live during soundchecks. Some songs were recorded on the tour bus and some songs were recorded in the motel rooms they stayed in while on tour. Even more audicous, it worked. Also a wickedly cool album cover with the drum set set up in the middle of the highway.

[@VGKDean]

Shoutout to the roadies who make the magic happen

[@jessica-dw5oy]

"the pretender" is another great Jackson Browne song, along with "these days" and "sing my songs to me/for everyman"!!! also the live video of this is so much fun!

[@cdemp4795]

I still remember seeing him in concert in the early 90's, all alone on the stage playing Late for the Sky on his piano.

[@MapManLK]

Still one of the GREAT rock albums. This song gets my eyes misty and brings goosebumps to my arms and neck every. . .single. . .time for 46 years. Still have this original vinyl album from '77. Browne is a killer singer/songwriter. (Or is it the other way around?)

[@stevehegner5805]

This was from an August 27th,1977 concert at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland. You guys were wondering if Stay was the last song. I looked up the setlist and the encore he did after Stay to close the show was Doctor My Eyes.

[@Stlie1]

The falsetto was by David Lindley. LikeRolling Stone wrote when he passed saw this year, There Were Sidemen And There Was DavidLindley. Lindley playing the lap steel with the Dumble speaker he helped develop. Underrated legend. react him as a tribute? He deserves it. His most famous song was The Mercury Blues, otherwise all his songs areas eclectic mix of Blues, rock, reggae, bluegrass, soul and everything else

[@markmurphy558]

We are a social species, and we are at our best when we come together. Very few situations that this is more evident than at a musical performance, where the attention of a crowd is focused on musicians, who are in turn pulling together to produce a meaningful sound and message. Magic!

[@bobdelp2023]

OH YEAH, IT WAS LIVE IN 78 😊SO YOU GET THE IN HIS PRIME ( JACKSON BROWNE ) FOR SURE! 👍

[@artprince9163]

Jackson live is still a sight and sound to behold! Just saw him this past May.
