As 30+ year Stagehand/ Roadie, this song always brings a tear to my eye. You do hundreds of performances in a year, always traveling, always awake working through the night to get the show to the next town just to set it up again on 3-4 hrs sleep( if your lucky). When you pull into a Stadium or Theatre, and you see a face you know, you often cry with relief. You live half your life 100 ft in the air, walking an I-beam or building towers for lights and sound. Rain or Shine, Ice and Snow, Lightning and Wind, at 8:pm, 75,000 people are going to show up, and never know what it took to bring your favorite band on to that Stage, it wasn't there yesterday and in 5 hours, it will be gone. Thanks Jackson Browne, for seeing us and what we do...

@@deirdre108 there are Union and non-Union houses of course, and while neither have Hands working for Minimum Wage anymore, there is still a vast difference in pay between the two. Jackson Browne I believe chooses to play in Union houses as every time I have worked his shows, they were yellow card scale, which is top of the line. There was a time were a vast majority of Hands at a show were there for a shirt and ticket, and would likely not return for the out, others were doing day labor. I always appreciate the stars who put their money where their mouth is and pay the crew a decent scale, but those are far and few in between these days, even those who are so vocal about wealth disparity or wage gaps, tend to just pay house rates.

@robertevans2450 Жыл бұрын

@@deirdre108 It depends on the size of the acts, the bigger the act the almost certainty that the Audio team including the engineer and techs are hired by the artist. As the tours get stripped down, the level of control is reduced and instead, lists of requirements are given in the Rider(contract), for which either is listed what the house(venue) will provide and what the promoter/band manager will provide, and there are plenty of times the same conclusion occurs, the audio company the promoter/band manager hires is a local(regional) company for which would have been the House's hire as well. It is a business decision, from my experience. If the venue is holding a festival, the odds are the equipment will be provided by the venue meeting the artist's rider requirements, and then each band brings their own sound engineer, with the openers may be relying on the tech that did the setup of the equipment as a "provided" service. But if it is a large tour, there isn't anyone the band hasn't hand-selected getting near the audio controls past setting up the equipment, and even here it is just flipping a console and running cable.

As for the original of "Mercury Blues" it was released in 1949 by the K.C. Douglas trio as "Mercury Boogie" pretty much a straight on blues tune. It was written by K.C Douglas and Robert Geddins and worth a listen.

When this came out as a live version, as the song began JB states: "I'd like to do a song I've never played in public before. It's a brand new song. It's sort of a tribute to, uh, the friends of mine that come out on the road. And to you too." So, in the song he thanks the roadies for their hard, largely unseen work, and also thanks the crowd and implores them to "pull us through", "sing this song". I would say it's a love letter to the people that matter most to the musicians.

Browne wrote Load out as an affectionate tribute to the roadies, assistants and staff who help him take his show on the road, setting up and taking down his stage sets and moving his instruments (a process known as "The Load-out"). He often played it at the end of each performance, usually with his cover of "Stay." "The Load-Out" was recorded at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Maryland during a show on August 27, 1977. The song was something Browne had been working on with his band - Danny Kortchmar (guitar), Russ Kunkel (drums), David Lindley (various instruments), and Leland Sklar (bass). They didn't have an arrangement they liked, but when Browne did three encores at the show, they found themselves out of material but still hankering to play. Kunkel suggested they play the song and see what happens. The resulting performance was so good that it made the album. This was the first time the band played the song. Maurice Williams wrote this song one Saturday night in the summer of 1955 at his home in Lancaster, South Carolina. He had a beautiful 15-year-old girl over (Williams was a similar age), but it was 10 O'clock at night, and he couldn't convince her to stay, even just a little bit longer. Her parents were very strict about her curfew, so Williams could only watch as her brother picked her up and drove off. Williams quickly wrote down his pleas, which became the song's lyric. He didn't think much of it, but four years later when he had his own group, Maurice Williams & the Zodiacs. This song lends itself well to falsetto singers: The Four Seasons hit #16 in the US with their version featuring the high vocal range of Frankie Valli. In 1978, Jackson Browne hit #20 with this song.

Legend has it that in the album version of this song, David Lindley was so moved by the entire vibe that he leapt up to sing the falsetto part of Stay -- as a tribute to the original by Maurice & The Zodiacs. It wasn't scripted or practiced that way and the concert crowd went crazy for it. If you listen carefully you can even hear some of the band members laughing in the background. Of course it became an integral part of the set from then on, and performed that way in all their live shows... but it never really has the spontaneity of the original take, thus sounding a bit more staged and "Sesame Street".

This song was a bit of an anthem for us the business. I was a production coordinator, on the promoter side, back when this album came out. We had the show scheduled at an outdoor venue but the weather forecast was so bad we moved the show indoors. It was a scramble. I was so tired I sat on the tail gate of truck backstage catching my breath during most of the show. Yes, they played this song. Perfect. One year our company did just over 365 shows. That is possible. In one night, in one city we played B.B. King, James Taylor, Elton John & The Jacksons. We also had a regional act at small indoor site, can't remember who. That's 5 concerts in one night, in one city. I did The Jacksons, 2 back to back stadium shows. Point is the amount of work that goes into these things behind the scenes, before the curtain goes up, is something that the crowd has very little knowledge of. It's really something though to see thousands of people light up when the house lights go down and know that you had a lot to do with it. ;0) BTW, nobody worked for minimum wage. LOL

"Stay" was originally recorded by Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs and released in 1960. it's been covered by many artists, and this version was a tribute to the original. The blonde singer with the perm is Rosemary Butler who had quite a career as a lead singer and back-up vocalist to many great artists in the 70s-80s. The guy singing falsetto at the end is David Lindley, a musical savant who can play almost anything with strings. He is a well-known session musician who formed El Rayo X in the 80s and had a huge hit with "Mercury Blues." It comes from the 1977 album "Running On Empty," which is a salute to life on the road for a rock band in the 70s. Most of the album was recorded either live on stage or in hotel rooms on the road, or even on the bus while travelling between shows. The title song was a huge hit for Jackson, but the album also included great songs such as The Road, You Love the Thunder, Rosie, and Love Needs a Heart.

Jackson Browne is one of the most talented emotive songwriters of all time. I love seeing young people discovering the music and culture of my generation. You listening to Jackson Browne is analogous to me digging Artie Shaw, Glen Miller, and Benny Goodman!

Love these 2 songs. The album versions were recorded in 1977 at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia MD. I was actually at that concert. I think this video was recorded at a later concert at Wolf Trap in VA. A great album from one of the best singer songwriters ever

Jackson Browne's Running On Empty was one of those albums that was on repeat back in the day for me as the summer wound down and my freshman year of high school loomed on the horizon. This takes me back to those days.

Now that you’ve found this great two song combo, check out his song “Rosie” and see if you can figure out the hidden meaning 🤣🤣. Pay very close attention to the lyrics. #jacksonbrowne #rosie

I can name several Jackson Browne songs that absolutely blew me away. It’s a rabbit hole. “For a Dancer” (studio version) Incredible. “Fountain of Sorrow”. Incredible. “The Birds of St. Marks” from his live acoustic album. Superb. You may or may not choose to choose to do a reaction for all all these. But you seriously should listen to all of them.

Jackson Browne was and is the great bard of the generation that came of age during the 1960s and 70s, so it always helps in deciphering the meaning of his lyrics to understand the history of those times and what that generation of young people experienced. And, for those of us who were there and traveled roughly the same road that Jackson did, he was/is our great lyrical historian, both in personal ways and collectively. Also, he has kept the faith politically as an artist over the years, remaining humble and dedicated to the values of the peace and environmental movements that he and the rest of us came of age with. I'd like to recommend three specific songs of his that demonstrate what I'm talking about: Before the Deluge, For A Dancer, and Lives in the Balance. His catalog is vast and filled with impressive and meaningful work, but those three have long been among my very favorite Jackson Browne masterpieces.. . . And, I might add that I am not generally inclined toward celebrity worship or gushy nonsense, but Jackson is the real deal!

I worked one of his shows in the early 90's and he asked us stagehands to stand in the wings for this song, consummate musician and great guy.

The whole Running On Empty album was about life on the roar outing musicians and their crews. It was recorded live on stage, in hotel rooms and on the bus. It was Rolling Stone’s album of the year and helped solidify Jackson Brow’s place among the greatest songwriters of the era. He continues to write compelling songs into his 70s. For me he is one of my top 5 best songwriters. I put him in the same category as Dylan, Paul Simon, Neil Young, etc. I’ve seen him in concert in the 70s, 80s, 2012, & 2015. Musicians want to be in his bands. He simply is one of a kind. His career accolades are a tribute to the kind of artist more musicians should strive to be

One of my favorite songs. Lex nails it - as usual. This is a musician's song about the road. Here we get the brilliance of Jackson Browne - and his secret weapon for success - David Lindley, who can play any instrument with strings on it, and does an amazing job of singing like Maurice Williams here.

Watching David Lindley when he was just a pup really reminds me of just how old gotten. David Lindley was the base of the original Jackson Brown sound. It's hard to believe that Jackson had to be convinced to add a drummer to his original sound. I was raised in Orange county in southern California in the 70's and this was the music of the time, not to forget the Eagles. I saw Jackson in concert and I will never forget the girls going absolutely crazy about him. People speak about girls passing out at Elvis and Beatles concerts but not one girl passed out, if anything the girls were creaming in there ditto jeans.

Guy at the end with the falsetto is one of the roadies. He was singing back stage and Jackson Browne put him in the arrangement so he's in stage every night.

@jackgilchrist Жыл бұрын

That last part is a cover of "Stay" by Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs, from 1960, with a bit of a change of words. Maurice was asking a girl to stay, while here the band wants the audience to stay because they want to play more. Most of the first part is talking about the roadies who set everything up and tear everything down every night.

@coldshot1723 Жыл бұрын

I've seen Jackson Browne in concert about 8 times. He's fantastic live. On Stay, he used to have one of the roadies come out and sing the falsetto part. I suspect that's what this guy was, Because he comes out and sings and then leaves the stage. For more great story telling, check out The Pretender and Rosie. Two great stories.

The "won't you stayyy, just a little bit long,er" part was 'sampled' from an oldie song (maybe the first 'sample' ever recorded(?) In the 80's i had 1 Jackson Browne cassette, i think this was the last song on it. I developed a whole new respect for the guy, the fact that he would write a song giving a shout out to the guys who did the work, the physical labor, behind the scenes, to make it all happen. The fact that he could write this song, tell the story, and make it so damn musical is a testament to this man's talent, as a musician, a writer, a vocalist! Respect.

Glad you did both songs together. Some reactors split them up or just do one for some reason. They were meant to be played together and Jackson Browne closed out his concerts with this for years. "Stay" is a cover of the 1960 hit by Maurice Williams & The Zodiacs.

Stay has been covered a lot. In addition to Jackson Browne, the Hollies and The Four Seasons also had hits covering it.

I couldn’t even watch another reaction couple when they only listened “Stay”, I started to, thinking they surely did “The Load Out”, but as soon as it started it was like someone dropped the needle in the middle of the record to focus on a cover song. 🤷
