.I am a Thai boy. I heard this song while the Vietnam war did going on.I have many G.I.friends who would like listening Jackson Browne 's songs together..It's a happy time we 'd never forget.

I am the luckiest lady Alive, tonight I get to do "the loadout" for Jackson Browne love my job, I am blessed thanks... I.A.T.S.E. Local 31

The mighty Loadout Best song ever written the mighty Jackson Browne

I saw Jackson at least 20 times in the 70's. First time he played this at one of the concerts the crowd went wild. It was like he personally thanked each and every person for being there.

My mom used to play the audio of this vidio on long car trips, especially when its late. I would fall asleep in the back seat with my lil sis on the opposite side of the car. I always wake up when when we are less then 5 mins away from home. Good times

When I worked in concerts, this song was my partner and I's anthem. Just remember all, there is so much more that goes into making shows happen than just an artist showing up to play. They get there an hour before the show. Techs, LDs, audio engineers, and stage hands get there at 5 in the morning to make sure the 7 pm show is perfect. And they're there workin for that minimum wage.

I’m 15 and picked up a running on empty record at the thrift store and of course this is on it! So happy

Excellent. i heard this song five days after this recording was made, long before its album release. JB practiced it before the show at Tanglewood, Lenox, Ma. while I and my friends hid among the bushes before the show, while the roadies were setting up. So thats a sound we did hear. I always felt priviledged to have seen that show, before almost anyone had heard this song. The vodka infused watermelon we snuck in and passed around during the show didnt hurt the mood, either.

How does this song not have more views? Kids now a days don't know real music. I was born well after this song was released and I admire it so much. Beautiful.

True that

1977-1980 in the Army stationed in Germany. We all bought albums and then recorded them on cassette tapes before sharing album with many others. So we all had big selections of music. This is one of my favorite

This was a big song back in the early eighties, helping to learn the English language not only at school. First joints, first love, first of so many things, what a great time to grow up to become an adult. I forgot about this song until a few years ago. And guess what: I remembered the words just as you did, after some 35 years! And I am grateful for all the memories attached to this song!

Doesn't get much better!

@Chayavat Mokarakorn I cried when the band joined in the song, you know *"those lights come up, and we hear that crowd, and we remember why we came!"* It kind of builds up, gets you emotionally ready for the performance!

Top 3 songs of all time in my book. And as someone who played live for years as a young man, this is so true

still WoW!

Some songs just naturally go together. These are two of Jackson Browne's best and they definitely do.

Classic 🎶

RIP David Lindley and his falsetto.

On this day in 1977 {August 27th} at a concert in the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD Jackson Browne recorded "Running On Empty" and "Stay/The Load-Out"... Four months later on December 6th the "Running On Empty" album was released, which contained the above two versions... The album peaked at #3 on Billboard's Top 200 Album chart, while on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart "Running On Empty" reached #11 and "Stay/The Load-Out" peaked at #20... Mr. Browne will be 65 on October 9th...

Very nice to dedicate a song for the people that work hard to set up for rock groups.

In college a thousand years ago I was on concert crew. We worked with the roadies, loading the trusses, lifting the amps. Miss those moments. Didn't get paid, 24 hour days, would do it again in a heartbeat.

Saw JB for my first time ever in Atlanta last night. While he didn't play this song it was a fantastic 150 min concert (20 min break), including funny banter with the audience and he has STILL got an excellent and distinctive voice.

The Loan out/ Stay, by" Jackson Brown, these back-to- back tunes are freaking seriously the bomb. I never get enough of this classic American tune, I always have to play this song twice, but I never play it three times cause that song can and will be played too much to the point you don't love it any more and I'd hate to lose the love I have for this song. Cause you can totally over play it, by playing it way too much. I've always loved music with really awesome lyrics that tells a kick ass story. I love kick ass stories especially when someone is reading, or telling me that story, so in a way who ever is singing that song is telling you a story. and when I sing along its like I'm telling someone else's story.

Such a classy,definitive and sweet song, love the flute, thank you Jackson Browne..

I absolutely love this song I play this version every time I can in public And every night night I go to bed I play it like 3 times So don't judge me it is fantastic

One of my favorites, my older sister gave me appreciation for this awesome artist.

Jackson Browne is a class act. He thanks his fans and genuinely appreciates his crew.

One of the BEST Songs EVER - his extended Prequel to the Classic Song “ STAY “ is Pure Genius.

So its great to hear a song dedicated to the folks that are just as big a part of the show as the big name performer is but are never seen.

Hi Jackson , My late husband was my roadie - I cry everytime I play this ... we were a girl band from Winnipeg and my Gordon used to wrap his hands in masking tape like boxers gloves - would manually flicker our stage lights ... at the end of the night his hands would be bleeding. Love ya always for this tune. There were a lotta roadies that made the magic happen. M.
