“Don’t confront me with my failures I have not forgotten them”. ..16 years of age..Holy shit

i was about 50 yards from the stage when this was shot. i don't think i'll ever forget this, as long as i live.

Old soul. It's a real thing. Once you realize, it all makes total sense.

Been in love with JB since I was a teenager. It is his words...

He is an old soul. We are blessed to know his voice.

Makes me proud to be of that generation

This man's talent isn't obfuscated in any way. He's just genuinely good, and doesn't have to hide behind any goofy gimmicks or quirks to show it. I tried so hard for years not to like Jackson Browne, and I just couldn't make myself like him. He's just downright outstanding. I feel like my parents. Bummer.

I just paid $500 for two tickets front row in Columbus,OH 06/28/2013.Don't regret it a damn bit,felt lucky to get them.Saw him in Charleston,WV a couple years back,he had 17 guitars on stage and played every damned one of them.A magic evening!

Amazing song writing and the sweetest voice on the planet.

"Don't confront me with my failures ...I had not forgotten them" the best line . ...

Absolute genius. I can't imagine writing this song after living a lifetime, much less at 16. Some people get all the talent.

My heart is flying above the trees.

I really was not ready for Jackson to get old.................

“I wrote this song when I was 16”. That line, & fact, has to have caused thousands of would-be songwriters to just go “well fuck me, I’m quitting this crap”. What a generational talent Jackson is, really no one like him.

Just LISTEN to the riiinnng of that guitar... pure joy.

Jackson Browne gave us a wonderful show in Austin, TX on May 17 at the new ACL Moody Theater. Just JB in front of a row of guitars, alternating between the six strings and a keyboard. Just wonderful! And in response to some unstated question, he said, "I'm OK." Great to hear.

Saw Jackson on his first concert tour backing up America. He was great than and just got better through the years. I miss the era of the great singer-songwriters.

no showoff .just plain and simple music ..legend .thanks for the music .

It's just too easy to get lost in this beauty and before you know it it's finished...16....genius.

It's hard to picture my life without JB's music. It is the soundtrack to my life. Throughout the years his music has been there picking me up when I was down or just giving me a pat on the back when I've done good. His music is the portal to the soul. Thank you Jackson , for there are no failures to confront. You're the greatest!

Got to see JB at Pike's Peak Center in Colorado Springs...2012. He played this and many of his great tunes...huge bucket list item checked. Late for the Sky is still my favorite album. Truly great artist.

Jackson you have been the music of my life. The close up of your hands while you were playing was heart wrenching and warming. They look like my hands now. We get older and I hope wiser tho I don't know. God bless you. Your gift has always helped my life.

What a song for a 16 year old to write! You'll never mistake that voice...

This man speaks to me like no other.I have failures too and i will never forget them! God speed sir.

One of the best live shows I've seen, Jackson Browne, 12 different guitars and one piano. A brilliant performance!

There will never be another Jackson Browne. Jackson I hope you will singing until your 85!

Very gifted! One of the first JB songs I learned

T`was my aunt who introduced me to the music of Jackson Browne, thought he was black `til she showed me the LP album The Pretender and I was instantly hooked hitherto, listening to him is like rejuvenation of one weary soul amidst the struggles and battles of life. Age really, is just a number.....

Voice of a Generation

Beautiful melding of two great talents: JB's singing and playing and the wonderful guitar craftsmanship of luthier Roy McAlister.

I grew up in Claremont. Lived there 16 years. Saw him play at the la county fair. This guy is a gem!

Wrote it at 16 years old...holy cow...the lyrics sound like someone who has lived a lifetime wrote them..

What gift he was give and shared with a world that needed the gifts he was given. God Bless you sir...well done for decades...your words and melodies touched millions of souls.

The first time I heard this song it was by The Allman Brothers Band .. I loved it instantly.. bought the Album.. not until years later did I learn it was written by Jackson Browne .. Love both versions.. for different reasons. Writing this in 2020 after listening to a recent colab with Jackson Browne on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert .. he's still got it in 2020 ... still .. " the bees knees" as far as I'm concerned .. I was wanting to listen to more so here I am.. listening .. traveling happily down memory lane... to the sound of the Great.. the one and only Jackson Browne !

"Song for Adam" is one of my favorite Jackson Browne songs! Perhaps not as well known by the masses but such a great song!

All my memories flood back and choke me up. JB you're a time machine.

I play this to find a little peace. ..so good. " I wrote this when I was 16..." ...and he looks to the sky, reminiscing

In 1972 around there, I bought a record LP by Ian Matthews called Valley Hi or high anyway great LP, this song was on the record, Ian Matthews sings it like he wrote it. and all the songs on that record are great. Thank u J.B. for writing such a great song.

At 25 years old this song would be very persuasive -"it's so hard to risk another lover,these days" , but at sixteen ...? I've been a lifelong J Browne fan, from the Soak with water album..... I was all of 14 & 1/2 when Jackson's first album released. I can's suffer fractionating the illusion of Jackson's song writing....

god what a beautiful song

I believe he was with The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band when he wrote this. He sang this song with them at The Ryman Auditorium on their 50th anniversary, on the Circlin' Back album. It was a PBS Emmy Award winning special. John Prine, Alison Krauss, and many more of their friends also appeared. If you get a chance to see the DVD, you'll be glad you did!

Such a powerful lyric and a beautiful song...especially that he wrote it when he was only 16 years of age. Amazing.

I don’t know how to describe this it’s too beautiful

Naturally, it's HIS song, it's brilliant & I take nothing away from his version, but if an artist has EVER imbued a song with more earthy sincerity than Glen Campbell brought to this one, shortly before he was plagued with dementia? I'd give anything to hear it. I was deeply moved at the way G.C. in a world-weary but compassionate way SOMEHOW made this gorgeous musical poem even MORE profound! He sounded like a man after Robert Frost's heart, one who had a lover's quarrel with life. If you get a chance? It's haunting.. Thanks for your time.

As a teen I loved Tom Rush’s version of this. It wasn’t until I bought “ For Everyman” in my twenties that I realized my new favorite artist was the author. To then learn that he wrote it at age 16 simply blew my mind. Of course Jackson does it so much better than Tom could ever approach. “These day I sit on cornerstones and count the time in quarter tones”...Awesome.

This song is life changing

JB knew more about love and life at the age of 16 than most people ever do. "Don't confront me about my failures...I haven't forgotten them."

Goosebumps.

The legendary man himself is playing Victoria, BC tonight and I have a pair of front row tickets. Won't be there. My 17-year-old son is a musician, he and his band have a gig tonight. Much as I love JB, I love my son more and will be there, front and center, cheering him on. I'm sure Mr. Brown will both understand and approve. To those of you going to the show, either one, have a great time. Live music rules.

A really strong audience recording from 2009. I listen to tons of Jackson, multi-cam soundboard stuff, etc...but this is so raw and vibrant, I think I like it best of all.

"These days" "That girl could sing" "The Pretender" "Somebody's Baby" "Doctor My Eyes" "Stay" Thank you JB.
