.I am a Thai boy. I heard this song while the Vietnam war did going on.I have many G.I.friends who would like listening Jackson Browne 's songs together..It's a happy time we 'd never forget.

[@margaretfitzgerald7187]

Beautiful. Perfect.

[@ALEEN517]

This is one of the best songs ever recorded

[@rolandsanchez623]

Truth

[@ismailelhan5596]

The mighty Loadout Best song ever written the mighty Jackson Browne

[@johncline3783]

I love this song

[@PaulMallen-zh7jv]

Just want to thank Barbara for introducing me to this song and Jackson Browne ,love from Paul M .

[@lonidelahuerta3439]

My favorite Jackson Browne 🎵❤🎹

[@oldfisherman5112]

I saw Jackson at least 20 times in the 70's. First time he played this at one of the concerts the crowd went wild. It was like he personally thanked each and every person for being there.

[@stevecameron5320]

Thanks for this song, brings back some great memories

[@KeithZimmerman-jp4vr]

❤

[@briantobin5337]

When I worked in concerts, this song was my partner and I's anthem. Just remember all, there is so much more that goes into making shows happen than just an artist showing up to play. They get there an hour before the show. Techs, LDs, audio engineers, and stage hands get there at 5 in the morning to make sure the 7 pm show is perfect. And they're there workin for that minimum wage.

[@geraldedelstein7842]

Doesn't get much better!

[@trainnerd3029]

Timeless music from a living legend…

A song I haven't heard in probably 6 years, and I remember every word well enough to sing along like it's only been 6 hours.

[@wakeupcall2665]

This was a big song back in the early eighties, helping to learn the English language not only at school. First joints, first love, first of so many things, what a great time to grow up to become an adult. I forgot about this song until a few years ago. And guess what: I remembered the words just as you did, after some 35 years! And I am grateful for all the memories attached to this song!

[@patricksechowski2134]

Top 3 songs of all time in my book. And as someone who played live for years as a young man, this is so true

[@jenniechen24]

Great song!

[@madamerosa1374]

Some songs just naturally go together. These are two of Jackson Browne's best and they definitely do.

[@marsyl12]

great souvenirs from our younger days. immortal song, thanks to mr jackson browne. greetings from France.

[@thangnema]

Cant get enough of this song. my inner eyes follow each and every word

[@gabriellafabrizio9871]

Fantastico

[@Hank5861]

1977-1980 in the Army stationed in Germany. We all bought albums and then recorded them on cassette tapes before sharing album with many others. So we all had big selections of music. This is one of my favorite

[@philipmueller8744]

Excellent. i heard this song five days after this recording was made, long before its album release. JB practiced it before the show at Tanglewood, Lenox, Ma. while I and my friends hid among the bushes before the show, while the roadies were setting up. So thats a sound we did hear. I always felt priviledged to have seen that show, before almost anyone had heard this song. The vodka infused watermelon we snuck in and passed around during the show didnt hurt the mood, either.

[@user-hq3yt5cl1o]

Been in love with JB since I was in high school in the ‘70s.

[@diannaloper7677]

Beautiful song! One of my favorite songs! Very talented in every area. of music.

[@DuluthEastGreyhounds]

How does this song not have more views? Kids now a days don't know real music. I was born well after this song was released and I admire it so much. Beautiful.

[@patrickcharles1881]

Because it is posted multiple times on KZbin

[@cassiebarber4669]

True that

[@janmed1207]

A piece of musical perfection courtesy of Mr. Jackson Browne! Can't listen to this enough. Love it!

[@inanutshellnmore8927]

Jan Med fell on love with this song the first time I heard it, think of it & quietly sing this, Quietly, very often. I've been there often when a show is done, it's a very great song! This, I Love!

@Chayavat Mokarakorn I cried when the band joined in the song, you know *"those lights come up, and we hear that crowd, and we remember why we came!"* It kind of builds up, gets you emotionally ready for the performance!

[@CoM_tE]

My mom used to play the audio of this vidio on long car trips, especially when its late. I would fall asleep in the back seat with my lil sis on the opposite side of the car. I always wake up when when we are less then 5 mins away from home. Good times

[@trinitychelini6915]

This was one of my baby brothers favorite songs. We just lost him March 24 unexpectedly.

[@DaveEllis]

Very sorry to hear about your brother. I've lost two siblings when they were way too young and it's tough as you know.

[@marsyl12]

please keep strong.

[@loveoverfearskippy6072]

It's nice to read the comments from music back in the day. No negativity and bashing one another. Just about any of today's music, if you read the comments everybody's talking negative to each other, not all but enough. Great song!

[@janefriel6895]

We saw Jackson Browne a couple of years ago in Dublin.Iv loved him since I was a teenager.It was just unearthly to sit a few metres from this fine musician.Time ran out and he didn't get to do this song,but that's ok.☘️

[@freespiritwithnature4384]

Yes ,it is indeed.

[@avgwhtman1]

I feel my time with music 65-85 was the great renaissance of truly great Rock & Roll. It's a time that will never be repeated, the creativity is mind blowing.

[@65bobolink]

One of the greatest songs ever!!! Thanks for posting this gem!

[@lisalee7063]

Very nice to dedicate a song for the people that work hard to set up for rock groups.

[@kevinquinn3763]

Only Jackson Browne would do that.

[@StripeRich]

It was at least as much a tribute to the fans.

[@rebelwalzt]

As members of The I.A.T.S.E. we do thank him for it. We are unsung heroes. Without us perform-ers would be someone with nothing to say, standing naked in the dark.

[@ace_degenerate_]

@@rebelwalzt saying we're unsung heroes is like calling yourself generous. Even if its true, it cheapens the word. Because youre not supposed to call yourself a hero..or generous lol you guys do good work, but its churn and burn. If you cant hack it, someone else takes your place. And the wheels on the bus keep going regardless.

I know what you mean, right?

[@ryancontino9752]

I think they are the tears of appreciation for all the people who silently supported us in our lives.

[@ElliottManke]

Sad, no, but some pretty heavy emotions nonetheless, you're not alone in that.

[@l.a.e.l.a.e.3918]

I GREW UP LISTENING TO THIS SONG. THE PIANO IS WHAT DOES IT FOR ME.

RIP David Lindley and his falsetto.

[@kennethkirby320]

Great song

[@sauquoit13456]

On this day in 1977 {August 27th} at a concert in the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD Jackson Browne recorded "Running On Empty" and "Stay/The Load-Out"... Four months later on December 6th the "Running On Empty" album was released, which contained the above two versions... The album peaked at #3 on Billboard's Top 200 Album chart, while on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart "Running On Empty" reached #11 and "Stay/The Load-Out" peaked at #20... Mr. Browne will be 65 on October 9th...

[@DaveEllis]

Saw JB for my first time ever in Atlanta last night. While he didn't play this song it was a fantastic 150 min concert (20 min break), including funny banter with the audience and he has STILL got an excellent and distinctive voice.

[@colinlogan407]

At the Omni?

[@chrisbowen8290]

Going to see him with James Taylor in August.Definitely a bucket list show.

[@DaveEllis]

@@colinlogan407 no, the Omni was demolished and replaced with Philips arena, now State Farm arena. I saw JB in Cobb County energy center.

[@montyholok7456]

My funeral song. First time I heard "Load Out" was on the Contiki Tour bus coming back from Europe in 1988 and it was played as our "End Of Tour" song. My all time favourite. Thank you Jackson

I fell in love with my wife (marriied for 27 yrs) dancing Stay...... love her and the song, today, as much as al those yrs ago....

Jackson Browne is a class act. He thanks his fans and genuinely appreciates his crew.

Thank you all for this upload. This is one of the few songs that water my eyes. Also thanks for the educational comments at the end of the video

[@mauk241]

+Hank Villard Most people don't know about the work that goes into a two hour show - and thats ok because they aren't supposed to if everything goes right. So its great to hear a song dedicated to the folks that are just as big a part of the show as the big name performer is but are never seen. The text at the end is interesting and I really like his adaptation of 'Stay'.

[@swatvanderelst]

Hank Villard fabulous song crying out loud

[@JoeVideoed]

Yeah, TY for the notes & the end. I gather most lyric video posters would've just left the screen empty. Appreciate the extra work.

Perfect song for the season finale of Roadies. RIP Phil

[@gabriellamortier2710]

Ernesto P I know your comment is old but I saw Machine Gun Kelly in concert (he played Wes on “Roadies”) a couple days ago and I thought of this song when the concert was over and the stage was getting packed up....I’m still sad that concert is over

[@majorphoto]

man, I've always LOVED this song. Our local AOR station played it alot (WLAV 97, Grand Rapids, MI)

[@UmberegatoSpaduWay]

What powerful lyrics! I love it!

[@bbiiggaall69699]

The Loan out/ Stay, by" Jackson Brown, these back-to- back tunes are freaking seriously the bomb. I never get enough of this classic American tune, I always have to play this song twice, but I never play it three times cause that song can and will be played too much to the point you don't love it any more and I'd hate to lose the love I have for this song. Cause you can totally over play it, by playing it way too much. I've always loved music with really awesome lyrics that tells a kick ass story. I love kick ass stories especially when someone is reading, or telling me that story, so in a way who ever is singing that song is telling you a story. and when I sing along its like I'm telling someone else's story.

[@anne-louiseluccarini4530]

I've never stopped loving it. That makes 45 years, so far.

Hi Jackson , My late husband was my roadie - I cry everytime I play this ... we were a girl band from Winnipeg and my Gordon used to wrap his hands in masking tape like boxers gloves - would manually flicker our stage lights ... at the end of the night his hands would be bleeding. Love ya always for this tune. There were a lotta roadies that made the magic happen. M.
