A few years back I was on a trip to Paris with my girlfriend, we were walking down the street when suddenly someone came rushing up from behind. Feeling sort of spooked, I turned around to see a dark eyed guy saying something like "I think you forgot this" as he handed over my wallet which I'd left behind on the table of the place where my girlfriend and I had just had breakfast. Dark eyed guy was Jackson Browne, I told him I was a fan and he signed a 5 euro bill that I had in my wallet. Seemingly a good way to save your money is to have Jackson Browne sign it, as those 5 euros are still unspent.

In the mid-1970s, I sat in my grandfather’s living room and together we watched a Jackson Browne concert on tv. At the end, I saw Grampa had a tear in his eye. He said, «How can a young man his age know so much of life? » These songs are ageless and connect directly to our hearts.

Jackson Browne, like so many of this era, causes me to time travel. All of a sudden, I am a 19 year old young woman, in the attic bedroom of the home she grew up in, ready to embark on what would be her adult life. There are some regrets, some things I would change, but mostly I'm just grateful for the life experiences and loves I have had.

Jeffrey Young was one of my closest friends for over forty years. I saw him play with everyone and enjoyed his music so much. He invited me to see Jackson multiple times and we always went back stage, which was fun. Jackson is a kind, funny down to earth guy. I miss Jeff so much, his passing was way too soon. We love you Jeff! ❤

His voice has taken on such an elegant quality, crackling with wisdom, full of fatigue and regret. In '72 I was 14 and listening to Song For Adam alone in my room wondering what losing a friend is like. Now I'm an old man listening to Barricades of Heaven and I get it...

I am now 75 but still love the music of Jackson ever since the early 70’s when he first broke on the scene. I once heard him called the poet laureate of rock music. It’s an apt description. His lyrics were certainly like poetry to me.

I just keep coming back to this performance. Jackson Browne has always been able to evoke emotion from me unlike any other artist. Nostalgia and hope, and just bittersweet affection for life and aging. I think he is such a talented and underrated songwriter. I love the depth of his voice, the emotion even now in his older age, he's still got it. The strains of time in his voice make it that much more beautiful. what a beautiful soul.

This probably the 50th time I’ve watched this and it never gets old. What more poignant song that applies to us all than”Long Way Gone”, so sad but so true.

"Jimmy found his own sweet sound, and won that free guitar" Jackson was talking about Jimmy Buffet

the best songwriter there ever lived, he wrote "these days" at just age 16, such wisdom for such youth. remarkable!

Jackson has the voice, great lyrics, and most importantly he's got the mileage. One of the greatest songwriters ever.

They spoke of being able to hear Jackson’s daily songwriting rituals above which included sitting at a piano singing continued repetitions of verses and phrases that gave way to silent tea breaks (they described hearing the sounds of quiet interrupted by tea kettle boils) after which he would return back to do it all over again until he got them just right like he wanted them.

'Call it a Loan' is one of my favorite Jackson Browne songs, so glad he played it.

I find myself watching this again and again. It is just pure music played with no falsity of any kind. Just watching the interplay of stringed instruments and voices: feeds the soul.

Jackson is getting older ...like all of us ....but his music is still timeless ...I have loved his music since I was 14 ....60 now ....so meaningfull

Barricades of Heaven is one of my favourites. So much truth. Many of my pages are faded and open in the sun but the next can still surprise you. Thanks for letting me grow up with you, Jackson.

It seems Jackson is always at his very best with minimalist arrangements; a voice, a guitar and a violin/piano. Really lends to his songwriting, more purposeful than what comes out of the studio. If you haven't checked out Jackson Live at Main Point 1975, you absolutely should. 3 hours of gold, my all-time favorite concert recording, very much in the style shown here.

Man that voice of his hasn’t lost anything has it. He still manages to bring you back to a place you’d rather be. And a great job by all the band members, clearly serious musicians.

RIP Jeffrey Young. Thank you for the music and memories

Browne knows his way around that beautiful axe. One dimension I like about TDC is watching the musicians play their instruments and support their songs. He's still got the magic.

Jackson Browne has that rare gift to soothe, caress and comfort souls in ways we don't fully understand.

For some reason of sheer happenstance I had never listened to Jackson Browne before seeing his induction speech for Joan Baez into the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame . It was beautiful , meaningful and moving . That is my introduction to Jackson Browne ( now that I'm nearly 80 ) , and I'm so thankful I "found" him . Listening to him I feel inspired and uplifted . He is a delightful artist and a gift to the world . My young son is a singer/songwriter , and he, too will be great in time . . . and over time . These guys are true blessings , and we should listen to them whenever we can . They enrich lives . George Lewis, Sr

Jackson Brown has such a way of singing not only from the heart but from his heart. Call it a loan is my favorite song of his. Remorse for hurting someone you love and took for granted is truly the growth from adolescence to manhood. Call it a loan until I have paid in full for the seeds I have sown. Remarkable in our age of selfishness and pride.

Turning 60 in a few days, and sitting here before leaving my office desk teary eyed to hear this tiny little jewel and reflect, remembering the first time hearing, "These Days," and thinking that it was one of Tom Rush's best songs ever. The correction made at the age of 14 opened my heart and my life to this wonderfully, both calming and yearning voice that has endured the years better than most of us can ever imagine. I know I am one of millions who are truly grateful for the inspiration Jackson Browne has provided me over a lifetime now of listening to this guy, in so many forms and in so many venues and always with the same awe and respect for his talent and unique soul that hit me in the beginning. So thankful for his part in this fantastic journey.

I sat listening to this, crying selfish tears for a friend who is a long way gone and near the end, and as I listened to the harmonies and song, the lyrics lifted me up, reminding me I still have a way to go... Thank you to all

Jackson just has so much heart, soul and just seems like a very REAL person. Not a poseur, not concerned with fashion or fads, just TRUTH. Most artists who try to stay true to themselves and their beliefs don't have much success. But he's been one of the exceptions to that rule. No wonder we love him and his music.

It was a pleasure to see Jackson Browne in concert in Fresno recently. His music has truly stood the test of time. If you have the chance, do not miss him when he passes through. “...we have to drive all night to do a show in Fresno... or Detroit, I don’t know, we do so many shows in a row”

Thank you, Jackson, for being so brilliant, so true, so honest, so real, so beautiful. Whenever I come back to your music, I come back to myself.

I love this guy. His words resonate and have a kinship with me. I listened to him shortly after suddenly losing my dad in 72 to a tragic job accident on Thanksgiving weekend. The album that hit home for me was the "The Pretender" I was lost and felt with dad gone I had lost my planned future that we had often talked about. So I joined the in Marines in 75 and listened to his 4th vinyl album in 76 and felt those songs were somehow written for me, "The Only Child', "Daddy's Tune", "Sleep Dark and Silent Night". Jackson has touched many people. I'm grateful & Thank you sir.

My main man Jackson Browne. Im an old hippy followed his whole career! I love this NPR tinny desk concert. Well what more can you say about Jackson other than I Love the man!

I am 61. We truly are a blessed generation that is alive to find these performances now on KZread-but still remember only having a photo on an LP that probably didn't have the lyrics. And no free guitar tutorials! Hehe. ☮

found jackson with 20 years old. never ever left his side..... we met a few times here in Barcelona........ whilst living in Denmark summer of 1974, up a ladder painting my windows blue, on the radio came "Late for the Sky", that was it, and this inspired me to work with my music now for so many years.. A true dedicated warrior..... Love him.. Neil Geoffrey.

Neil Geoffrey clough thanks for the story brother I discovered him a few years ago and working my way through his catalogue and it’s the sound I been trying to hear for a whie

this set is amazing! such observant lyricism and what a band! Greg Leisz...whew.

THIS is a true artist. I think the best songwriter ever. EVER. After 36 years of loving his music, I finally got to see him in concert. Jackson Browne, 20+ acoustic guitars and two solid hours of the best concert I have ever been to...hands down.

I am, as always, amazed by Jackson Browne. His songs are timeless and although I am nearly 65 and a fan for nearly (scary to think about) 50 years, hearing Jackson Browne sing is always a new experience , no matter the venue. In a concert hall with band and lights or an office/studio with a few friends, ...the heart in his songs shines through and cannot be diminished. So glad this amazing singer/songwriter continues to share his timeless songs with younger generations. God bless you, Jackson. I'm grateful for you and glad NPR did these "Desk Concerts" ...a venue for ONLY the BEST like Jackson Browne.

I’m 64...and just love the way Jackson Brown makes me listen. Wonderful musician and talent. I sometimes feel like he gets excellent recognition from his peers. But, not enough from the rest of us. Long live Jackson Brown!

@@jmmacb03 Yes aching, doing things backwards and wrong side up tends to get those ill effects...but this is music now. A separate issue... And I love all the new stuff he's been doing. 🥰🥰🥰🙏🏽

When I look at different eras of history I've found myself wishing I'd been born back then or...back then. When it comes to music however, I feel blessed and grateful to be born when I was. I love "my" times music. I grew up with Jackson. Bobby. So many others...all connected and represented to me through memory of different events, loves, periods of my life... That I'm still here to remember yesterday and enjoy today is such a gift...

big follower of Jackson since the beginning, I had to walk home 10 mls in the snow from his concert in Glasgow in the 70swith slippy shoes on, worth every step.still majic.

+tommy mcghee ... I remember that early December concert evening very well. I was part of Jackson's crew from America. Ten of us traveled over night from London to Glasgow on a charter bus with the intention of sleeping. However, about an hour into the trip the bus heater gave out and soon we had ice covering the inside of all our windows. Not only were we freezing cold but we were unable the experience the beautiful country side covered with a fresh blanket of snow. The incredible reception we received that night from the Glasgow audience made up for it. I'll never forget it. A perfect example how "letting the music lift your spirits high". Thanks Glasgow fans.

That's nothing. I walked 15 miles in the snow barefoot to watch him rehearse. He offered me a drink of water afterward but I said, "No, thanks. I gotta get back home."

tom ault what are you tripping on?

What a magical group of guys. 👌

My all time favorite, his songs have always been a light leading the way through the darkest times in my life.

I always thought of "Callit a Loan" as one of those hidden gems! How sweet to hear it kicking off set!!!!

God I love Jackson Browne. He gets me every time! It's like he feels it down to his toes and so do i!

Jackson is one of my favorite hero-artists of all time. Always the voice of reason. With full respect to the band, they sound awesome too.

DUDE YOU ARE STILL KILLIN IT.... I LOVE YOU NOW AND FOREVER..... You taught me sooooooo much and I will be forever grateful💋❤️

So mesmerizing! 49 years later still listening to Jackson even more now!

Merveilleux ! Since August 1977 and Stay, I never stopped listening Jackson B. ! Even 40 years later, I still love those wonderful songs ! Thanks for sharing this concert !

Jackson can always make me tear up...one of the best pure voices

From Bob Dylan to Jackie Greene, there have been a lot of great song writers. Jackson Browne is the very BEST there ever was! He still is.

What a story teller. Jackson. You are a talented person helping others thru your gift and craft. you have some good folks with you as well. Feeding my soul 💕💕

Thank you for your unending love and support ❤️ you all are the reason why I do what I do. Where are you from and how long have you been a fan ?

Jackson Browne's songs were written, sung and played from the heart, always touchy always true. One of the two of my all time fav singer-songwriter, the other being Stephen Stills. Both are good an all respects.

Saw him in concert a couple of years ago for an intimate evening concert with him and 2 other musicians. His voice has aged quite well and because his songs aren’t written in a higher key he can still sing them rather well. What a treasure he is.

Jackson's voice is like returning home. love him so much
