Jackson Browne and James Taylor.....amazing twinbill not to miss if they are anywhere near you. About 10 years ago I took my 2 daughters to see Jackson Browne at The PalaceTheatre in Albany, NY.....1 man on a stool placed on an oriental rug surrounded by 21 guitars tuned for the amazing catalog of songs he has amassed. His solo acoustic concerts are just so personal and intimate. My daughter's were 23 and 18 and the 3 of us had an amazing evening. The man is such a gifted singer, song writer, and storyteller we were glued to every word. We are so fortunate to have entertainers like Jackson Browne and James Taylor to listen to, they are nothing short of the musical poet laureates of our generation....they are both nothing short of amazing, so gifted, rarely, if ever matched.....and their words are so vital and current even today....listen to Lives in the Balance and think a moment about 20 years and all the lives wasted in Afghanistan and all our Patriots lost and you will hear a message that transcends political party or affiliation......just listen.....enough on the politics......just listen.......because when this man speaks he has a lot to say. Running on Empty, Shape of a Heart, For Everyman, These Days, Foutain of Sorrow, The Pretender, Take it Easy, Stay, The Load Out, and so many more......just listen.....and don't miss Jackson Browne and James Taylor if they are anywhere near your town and share the moment with those you love...it will be a magical evening.....you will never forget......"Looking through some photographs I found inside a drawer, I was taken by a photograph of you......,there were one or two I know that you would have liked a little more, but they didn't show your spirit quite as true, you were turning around to see who was behind you and I took your childish laughter by surprise and at the moment that my camera happened to find you, there was just a trace of sorrow in your eyes"....the visual image those words paint is just so full and vivid, so melancholy, beautiful, and tragic all at the same time....same thing like the beautiful words that grace songs like In the Shape of a Heart......so much love, longing, and emptiness and pain all at once rolled into one song's lyrics......"I guess I never knew, what she was talking about, I guess I never knew that she was living without....people who speak of love don't know what they're thinking of"....such poetry for the soul, such a portrait of love lost......such beautiful, thoughtful words....and as they touch your ears you feel like your in the corner of the room watching the story unfold.....incredible.....so visual...enjoy! "Fountain of sorrow, a fountain of life, you know that hollow sound of your own steps in flight, you've had to struggle, you've had to fight, to keep understanding and compassion in flight, you could be laughing at me, you've got the right, but you go on smiling so clear and so bright". Wow, admit it, it's time to go to Hallmark, because it's good to see your smiling face tonight.....
Jackson Browne is pure magic!!!!!!!! Listening to him sing, watching him play and witnessing the sweet intimacy he shares with the fine musicians he so graciously showcases on stage is such an enormous pleasure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please, please don’t stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I hope everyone is taking care of themselves and these two national treasures on this tour. I'm having to depend on these postings to be able to see them this time around. Still in love after all these years with Jackson and James. What wonderful gifts they are!
I don't know about anyone but me...actually I do know many people who appreciate jackson. I feel bad for anyone who hasn't seen or especially heard his musical genius. To my compadres Donna and kathy and linda and john who enjoyed this eve in pgh with jackson and james. Rock on. Xo
Yes, it was a amazing concert hearing he + James Taylor at Blossom Music Center, near Cleveland 7/31/21 National treasures they are. .the entire night was magical ❤
Noticed that the multi-talented Jason Crosby takes over on piano anytime Jackson plays guitar. Jason also is incredible on guitar, banjo, mandolin, and ukulele!
Thanks for posting this video for us in Florida that won't get the chance to see them this time around. Jackson sounds great! They all sound great. Really hit's those spots. Safe travels all and thank you ever so.🎹🎸🎶💓 Well since I posted the above, some Florida shows were added. Woo hoo. I will get my tickets for Amalie Arena Nov. 11th. So happy. I'm there!! Like a kid at Christmas I feel like. TY Ty Ty. Can't wait. Tickets are steep. 150 300 or 1000 Worth every penny. This will be the longest 3 months of my life. Lol. Stay Safe and healthy gang. Love to all! 🎶🎸🎹💓
I'd love them to bring this show to England. I've seen Jackson browne 24 times live and have tickets to see James Taylor next February, but the 2 together would be fantastic!
Wantagh! Yes my friend . My first concert in 18 months too. I sooooooooo feel ya . And it couldn’t be more fitting than to be able to break this spell with no other than someone like Sir Jackson Browne , who has always been, and continues to be my ‘soul and heart’s Inspiration ‘ through this journey of life . I am forever thankful for this precious gift 🎼🎹🎶from up above 🧚♂️🌞🌙 ✨💞😌
I've heard that too. There's also a Joni Mitchell song "not to blame" about Jackson browne which is really nasty! Although their relationship was brief I read she never got over it. That song seems to back this up and really put me off Joni Mitchell
