Hearing a band live is the real test of their talent. Love this song--No autotuning, no earpieces... just raw talent that hits like a tidal wave-that was the music of the 70's.

The greatest thing about the video is that everyone involved looks they are having a great time performing and enjoying the song and working with one another. With the Cardboard Cutout Clones we get for performers today, who don't write their own songs, and can barely produce a product for video or consumption, it's a pleasure watching people who are passionate about their work and profession. A shout out to Rosemary Butler. If you look at it again, when they reach the point where she and Doug Hayward have finished their roles as Backups, she gives an upward motion of her left arm as if she is pulling the cord as the Stage Light blacks out over them. What a talented performer.

Jebus!..this song is an ANTHEM of the 70's and 80s...you can relate to every single word!!

Quite possibly the best use of a slide guitar in any song, ever.

Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields '65, I was 17 and running up 101 I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on Running on (running on empty) Running on (running blind) Running on (running into the sun) But I'm running behind Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive Trying not to confuse it, with what you do to survive '69, I was 21 and I called the road my own I don't know when that road turned onto the road I'm on Running on (running on empty) Running on (running blind) Running on (running into the sun) But I'm running behind Everyone I know, everywhere I go People need some reason to believe I don't know about anyone, but me If it takes all night, that'll be all right If I can get you to smile before I leave Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels Look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through Looking into their eyes, I see them running too Running on (running on empty) Running on (running blind) Running on (running into the sun) But I'm running behind Honey, you really tempt me You know the way you look so kind I'd love to stick around, but I'm running behind (Running on) You know I don't even know what I'm hoping to find (Running blind) Running into the sun, but I'm running behind Thank you

Damn, that was fantastic.

WOW! Now that’s energy! Totally up tempo. I remember listening to this song as a kid and being completely moved and motivated! When I sing it I change the words to “in 85 I was 17” because it fits with my age. Gotta love it! 😎just insane how this video rocks

This song, along with Steely Dan's "Aja" 8-track was the soundtrack that helped propel me over four days of driving Interstate 80 home to Detroit in the fall of 1978 after a three year stay in California. Highway 101, the "Day on the Green" concerts. All of the growing up from 18-21. It's all here in this song. I even stayed one extra day before hitting the road when I had to tell everyone, "I'd love to stick around but I'm running behind".

Wow.

reminds me of going camping with my family... driving in the (brady bunch) station wagon with the windows down and this song full blast...

1979 My senior year in high school, a week before spring break in March, we saw them at The Omni in Atlanta Georgia. These guys played for 2 solid hours. Still have the ticket $7. It’s nice to be old now, to have been young then!!

my favorite Jackson Browne song always has been

Who are the 42 that thumbs down this video? Wow! That blows my mind. This is as good as it gets here man!

The 42 who are jealous they’ll never be as creative or talented as Jackson Browne.

Pay no attention. Russian bots.

Running on empty, and No Nukes, are probably my favorite live albums ever, along with the Springsteen & the E street band live collection from 1975-1985. Jackson has been and always will be one of my favorite musicians ever. Jackson Browne was one of my first major concerts when I was about 10 or 11 years old. I just saw him live last week for the second time ever. I saw him live last week for my 16th birthday and I’ll never forget it.

Danny Kortchmar was guitarist on the original and toured with JB as well. On this concert Korthchmar was playing with James Taylor who followed JB that night. Also Leland Sklar played bass on the original and also was playing with James Taylors band this concert. Russ Kunkel the drummer played for both JB and JT that night...What a gig. ....Possibly Billy Payne on organ?

Hi Carolyn💐💐

One song I ALWAYS have to hear twice.

literally the best version ever!

Since a lot of people have asked, the percussionist is Jody Linscott. Toured with the Who a decade later during their comeback tour. Had an even bigger setup then and was one of the greatest concerts I've ever seen.

Rosemary Butler and Emmylou Harris taught me all I know about singing harmony.

One of the greatest rock and roll songs of all-time. This live one is outstanding!

Those opening chords get me every time.

Jackson was a genius songwriter

I love this man. His music his hair his face .....everything. He seems like he just is so up front with emotions and communication. That's what women love

This band looks so happy. Probably because they know that they nailed this performance.

Summer of '78 I was biking across Europe watching the road rushing under my wheels with this song in my head. 44 years later, I'm living in CA watching the 101 from my backyard. Never paid close attention to the lyrics until now and now I realize how music works.

Love this song😍😍😍 reminds me of my preteen days💜💙💓💛💚 in San Diego.

David Lindley was so brilliant. Saw him many times with Jackson. And several times solo. Even got to chat with him a couple times. Fantastic musician. Sweet person.

Oh my .. to be 18 again!! Love love love !

The emotions this live version stirs...I am at a loss for words. Thank you for getting this online, so we can appreciate it.
