Jackson Browne in concert

Rob Babcock · « **on:** 15 Oct 2003, 08:58 pm »

I just read in the Washinton Pavillion event calendar that Jackson Browne will be performing her next month. I'm not very familiar with his music, aside from the hits & the stuff that gets airplay.

Are there any fans of his music here?

I'm a fan.
Bought his first album when it was released in about 1970, been buying them ever since.
I saw him twice, in February in Australia. Once at our Opera House (terrible acoustics), and once at a vineyard (great sound and ambience - surrounded by a drunken audience).
His current touring band is great (the best since he had David Lindley with him).

I recommend you go see him.

The acoustics of the Great Hall of the Pavillion are superb. Basically any excuse to get back down there!

Don't hear much about David Lindley. I saw him playing with Warren Zevon along tine ago. Hve 2 of his cd's. Saw Jackson Browne a long time ago also.

Later

David Lindley has toured and makes records with drummer Wally Ingram.
I saw him in Australia with Wally about 4 years ago. Very very good.
I bought "Twango Bango Deluxe" at the show. Great.
You can buy all of his music at

He is also on "The Wind", Warren Zevon's last album

He wrote "These Days" in 1967 when he was 16 (for Nico, and he played the guitar for on the track too) Also covered by Greg Allman and about ten others. It is on his album For Everyman

Saw Jackson Browne open for Dave Mason at the gym in Stony Brook, New York. For Everyman was just coming out, awesome show! Apparently, he was a bit of a pain, wanted a case of Wild Turkey, or something.

Best description from an Elvis Costello article a couple of years back: His 500 favorite albums (and I'm paraphrasing): "Jackson Browne's first album. Then you can skip all of the Eagles records..."

I kinda dropped out after Late for The Sky.

Old threads never die, they just ...

Was a huge JB fan from day one, but I too dropped off in the late eighties. Regarding DL's contributions, one of my friends opined that JB's early albums could have been called 'David Lindley, with Jackson Browne'

So Lindley is to Browne as Ronson is to Bowie? Doesn't really matter as the early music is all good but I think he kept some of the same sound thoughout his career. I don't really feel like he evolved as Bowie did so after a while I completely dropped out on JB, and eventually, Bowie.

It's interesting with music because when an individual artist just hits that certain resonant nerve in a person, everything they do is vital, all the LP's, EP's and singles. I was like that with Elvis Costello for many years but eventually dropped out in the late 80's.

Anyway, it's interesting that the first album is Jackson Browne (eponymous) but even the record company on the spine of their own CD call it "Saturate Before Using!" Looks like they forgot the name of their own record.

My wife and I have seen him twice.
Very good shows, though I can't remeber the last time I listened to one of his CDs.

I, and a lot of my friends, were huge Jackson Browne fans in the 70s. Like orthobiz said, his music just touched a resonant nerve with me at a time in my life that made his music seem almost prophetic. This lasted through Running on Empty. After that JB's songwritting became much more political and much less personnel and I lost interest. Someone did give me Looking East for my birthday a few years ago. It is ok but didn't rekindle the magic of the earlier 70's recordings. However, I still get chills listening to some of that early music.

David Lindley's band played at a local venue (fancy name for bar) last summer. I was out of town on vacation and didn't get to see him. I heard he and his is band were amazing.

Jackson Browne on Austin City Limits Feb 21-2 (or so). This may be too late notice for most, but some PBS stations show ACL on odd time slots so maybe there's a chance for some to catch it????
