feb 1974 hitchhiked with my girlfriend and little sister in a blizzard from Syracuse to Cortland to attend a show that was just freakin incredible...linda Ronstadt opened for Jackson and this was shortly after late for the sky was released...they opened the doors early due to the cold and that little college gym became a cozy living room filled with the most moving and emotional music.....the band had david lindley and doug haywood and was just so spot on and thrilling...so glad to hear this clip and be reminded of those so much earlier and innocent times and how great music endures and remains relevant to our lives.....

While alone and Safe, Fountain of Sorrow, had me in tears as I KNEW the 'Truth'. I had to say it's over, admit to myself that the spontaneous barrage o lies was wasting my Life.

Souther was Glenn Frey's roommate when they lived upstairs from Jackson Brown in the early 70s, pre-Eagles. Glenn and JD first heard Take it Easy in its unfinished form through the floor from Jackson's basement apartment. Glenn pestered Jackson so much about using that song that he let Frey finish the last "flatbed ford" verse. I've heard that it was Randy Meisner that opposed Souther being an early member of the Eagles. Not sure about that, though.

Just bought and listened to J.D.'s "Home by Dawn." Enjoyed it tremendously, especially the two tracks with Linda Ronstadt. Heard her harmonizing in my head as I watched this.

I’m listening and wondering if I would have gotten through some rough times without this music. One thing rings true for me and it’s that this music more than likely saved this listener life. Sweet solace. Peace to you Jackson Browne.

Your songs from The Pretender, Running on Empty, Late For the Sky, Hold Out,, are some of the most sensitive and organics songs ever.

Buddy Miller just happily playing in the background. Brilliant song from a genius artist.

Yes, JD Souther is a class act and more. Many of us know he was a close friend of Glen Frey and Don Henley and helped them write many of their Eagles songs.
