More talent on that stage than on the last 10 Grammy shows combined.

Crosby and Nash also sang the backup vocals on the original recording. Still sounded amazing years later. RIP David Crosby

Four incredible musicians and vocalists from my generation. Never gets old...

“I’m gonna find myself a girl, who can show me what laughter means, and we’ll fill in the missing colours, in each other’s paint by number dreams”. One of the best lines of any song I’ve ever heard.

There are no words to describe the thrill I get from listening to "my"music the harmonies are pure heaven ❤️ RIP David Crosby 🙏

I’m proud we were born at the “right” time musically. If for nothing else, OMG this is our music!! BORN. 9/1955!

At 70 years of age...the song, still holds up....thank you

After watching this many times , I am just overwhelmed by the talent on that stage and the meaning of the song.

Ok, this song was written in 1976, how is this STILL so true?! How have we not moved on from the struggle for the legal tender? God this song is so perfect, I just can't write how much this resonates with me.

How blessed I've been to be alive when Jackson Browne, CSNY and The Eagles were in their prime.

And that kids, is how it’s done. No auto tune, actual voices and people playing musical instruments. 👍

This performance just brings me to tears. Knowing the deep friendship between CSN and Mr. Browne, seeing the look between Crosby and browne at the beginning of the song, and seeing Crosby and Nash reprise their original roles as the backing vocalists…. Not to mention the song itself being a freakin masterpiece…. It’s just a lot of emotion packed into 6 minute video. Bless you all, guys.

You know you have made it to the top when you have Crosby and Nash singing backup for you. So much talent there.

Jackson Browne has been there for me so many times. I love him so much. ❤❤❤

Jackson Browne's voice is like that of an old friend that calls to me. Back to those days of greatness and glory. I will never tire of listening to him.

I'm rocking with JB just like I was in 1974 --- Running on Empty 💞

Hearing Jackson singing this song with the way it captures the heartbreak of the broken promise of one whose dreams have been allowed to be crushed, gives me the chills. It is an amazing insight into the illusion of American culture at times, and its affect on the human spirit. I don't believe anyone writes with the insight and depth about the human experience that Jackson does. What a gift. May he continue indefinitely.

I may be only 14 but I stand by it this is my music man today’s music will never compare to something as beautiful as this. This song has helped me through some hard times so I always go back and watch the dvd I have of this concert to feel better. 🤘🏻❤️

I LOVE this live version. As usual, the harmonies of Nash & Crosby were perfect. It looked like they were singing together for years.

That feeling you get when the backups vocals are on fire and the goosebumps you get when you see Graham Nash and David Crosby singing them.

I wouldn't want a world without Jackson Browne

I hope everyone in this country and beyond send their prayers and healing vibes to this guy, the poet troubadour of our younger years...❤️❤️❤️

I feel like it was just yesterday when I was 16 and bought this album. 40+ years later I’m still listening and feeling like I did then. That’s what great music and songwriting can do.

1977 Enlisted man in the Army. Very alone in the barracks in Coleman Barracks Mannheim Germany. Jose Montoya told me to listen to Jackson Browne! JB your music has filled my life. Thank you

Between the longing for Love and the Struggle for the Legal Tender....nobody phrases it better than Jackson.............Greatest Songwriter of the Seventies for sure and haven't seen much since that comes close to him.........not to mention what a great Humanitarian He Is.......He Walks His Talk

We may be old, but this is our music.

This song stands the test of time. Those lyrics-- can't beat them. "While the ships bearing their dreams sail out of sight."

Amazing performance! Back when musicians can play live and sound better than in the studio. Legends

Jackson did everything for David Crosby in his bad days and probably saved his life more then once. So great to see him on stage with him. Singing such a great version of this song. I wish I had been there. It must have been amazing!!

Old pros can still rock the House with songs that have meaning and emotion.

Say a prayer for the Pretender, who started out so young and strong, only to surrender. That's 99 percent of us.

I have just 'discovered' Jackson Browne; wow, what a discovery!

I took my mom to this concert...this was one of many beautiful highlights during this 6 hour concert, as she always loved Jackson Browne. God rest her soul. I'll forever be grateful for this memory with her.

A real gem by four of the best RIP David Crosby

This is such a great song. This is definitely the best live version I've heard..and I love how he sings it just like the recording. The whole band sounds great

The C S and N guys seem so respectful of how they sang their harmonies. Everyone loves Jackson Browne so much!!

Jackson brownes voice is awesome.....does not change at all...

4 iconic legends on one stage....they wrote and performed the anthems of so many of our lives....getting old sucks...you loose the friends on the radio you grew up with...and realize the hourglass does not have much sand anymore....

Graham looked like he was really getting into singing that one!!! Its a pleasure seeing professional musicians and exceptional vocals. It doesn't get any better.

The talent and harmonies on this stage will NEVER be equaled. This is how We did it growing up. Pay attention kids. This is resl music and talent!!!

This guy helped get me through some hard times!

this man is so deep!!! Excellent songwriter and still a great singer.

"Caught between the longing for love and the struggle for the legal tender". Brilliant words!

These artist know how to write songs with real meaningful lyrics. They are masters of harmony as well! Loved their music back in the day and still today.

Got to meet this guy back in the 70s while doing dressing room security, Runnin' On Empty Tour; very humble dude for his recent fame.

just watch Crosby as he acknowledges a fellow master song writer

I own everything he has put out, an unreal man & musician, so much talent on display.

Not at all happy to admit I've reached the age when I'm happy to be immersed in nostalgia. Thanks for the music.

Jackson Browne is so so cool. Wonderful performance

Boomers started with the 50's and went through the 80's eat your heart out people! Wouldn't trade it for anything!

A treat to watch them performed together - Jackson Browne with CSN. It's as good as music can ever be.

Jackson's music stands up over the years. Thanks, again all.

God Bless each of these geniuses who have brought us such musical pleasures.

"When the morning light comes streaming in, we'll get up and do it again." An anthem for OUR generation! There is a reason that THIS music is still so relevant today

I saw Jackson Brown for the lawyers in love tour back in the 80’s, was maybe 13 and to this day it was by far the best concert I have seen.

Simply beautiful.. love you JB.. love you David ..RIP and thank you for your beautiful music ..just perfect 🙏❤

Thank God for You Tube. Where else can you go to witness all these great performances of your favorite artists as if you were there! Instead of just watching a computer screen, sitting in a computer chair, like a bump on a log.

Jackson's lyrics represent me and the era of the baby boomers. Saw him several times, one of the best and sincerely a good man. Once with a group of my lifeguards, who had insisted on taking me and 5 of them to see him in Hartford. The boss smoking MJ with his long time swimmers and guards, will never forget that evening or Jackson.

The bonds that were formed all those years ago up in Laurel Canyon. A special time with special people, not likely to happen again in today’s digital world. Oh, to have been a fly on those walls

Jackson is like a very fine wine! Gets better with age!

Jackson is my favorite solo musician. I've seen him 7 times in concert. He has a great stage presence. One of the truly outstanding musicians out there!

We all have had the greatest music as a soundtrack to our lives. What a picture Jackson Browne paints with his lyrics. Always touching the heart in some way. Love this version, three great artists once again giving us a remarkable performance. It just never gets old. ❤

The master artist playing with a whole stage of masters. Dam I grew up in such a potent musical era.

This brings back so many good memories of a time and place that we will never see again! Blink of an eye,but so blessed to have been part of that generation

What a legendary line-up! Just saw Jackson at the Royal Albert Hall, London last weekend (June 24th 2017). He played this and was still rocking like a man of half his age. Long may he do so!

This is one of the most beautiful songs I have heard. Doesn't fail to bring out a tear every now and then, that's how good it is.

Getting old is sometimes hard. And while your memory fades you can only look back at times and music of such a glorious time in America. Through the war, unrest, riots you always had the music of our youth.

They're not only greatest musicians and vocalists, but some of the greatest story tellers of our time. There songs are timeless. Never again will there be folks like them who were also great activists.

the amount of talent on that stage--off the charts!

Man, I just cannot get enough of this! CSN with Jackson Brown, oh my gosh, and that guy on bass, WOW! They nailed this one. Beautiful! I truly thank you. So many great memories come bac k to me. Some great times becoming a man in the 70s. Then this, "the best", I still need to find me girl who can show me what laughter really means. Thank you. :-)

Oh my god I'm crying thinking of my youth

Steven Stills guitar tone is out of this world in this awesome video. THAT is a vibe....

This is THE song for anyone in the midst of broken dreams and shattered idealism - which probably speaks to most of us. No big drama here - just a grim collection of realities that can't be denied. For those of us who were of that age in the early 70's, hearing this song provided some comfort but no solutions - at least Jackson understood and laid out the sad, sorry condition so perfectly. So we put on our sunglasses and get through the night to fall in line for another day. Get over it - that's who you are. Bittersweet - but this version is the best I've heard - and that includes the original recording. ...Wow - what a writer.

Amazing how long real talent can last. CS&N and Jackson Brown still sound fantastic and I've been listening to them for over 40 years.

Some of the greatest vocal moments for David Crosby and Graham Nash are the backing vocals for Jackson Browne. RIP David Crosby!

What a great back up band.... I saw Jackson Browne a Long time ago. Wow- still perfect.

what an awesome performance, but then how can it not be?! Always been a big CS&N fan. Been a JB fan since I was 13. They all still got it!

Is there anything in "real life" as good as this? So disciplined and fine--after all this years. Delivering the song as if he's never sung it before. Eternal truth.

David Crosby s smile of appreciation and his wink towards Jackson says everything about respect for a fellow musician and legend, for me . Love it 💚

Thank you Zarastro 1040 - This song has touched my heart since I was a kid. Seen Jackson do this Live in 1977 .RUNNING ON EMPTY TOUR.........Nassau CoL.......4th row floor in front of stage. I will NEVER, EVER forget that concert. Thank you Jackson......my music hero. God Bless you.

This guy is wearing well...and his voice is still top notch...

What beautiful lyrics,invoking such strong imagery.Jackson alwayd seems to me to be coming from a place of introsption.Revealing real universal truths.Gotta love it.

Imagine having CS&N as your BACKUP vocals???? Proof of just how great a writer/performer Jackson Browne is!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉

Greatness, nothing but greatness in that stage. What a privilege to be a witness to such greatness.

Still, I believe in true love, so beautifully expressed by Jackson Browne. 'Drama is to life as a ship is to the sea', they traverse across each other'; you can't have one without the other.

I just adore every one of these old rockers...Jackson Browne is still a heart breaker.

Well said. So true. What a performer ...all of them . Glad to be part of that era.

Future generations will never know live music like this.

When you tear up from the 3rd note... then you are listening to Mr Browne, the greatest musical poet ever.

I watched this song on a KZfaq reel after the eagles. I have since watched it on repeat about 100 times. It's a magnificent performance

Some of the best vocalists and songwriters of the 60s and 70s on stage at once!!!! WOW!!!

Reminds me of high school👍 I was a huge fan then, and proud to say I still am, of all these guys.

Mercy! Jackson and all the others with you... I can't find the words to express the greatness of it all! Well done , indeed.

Can’t believe that I saw them 50 years ago. I’m so happy to still be in this world. Wonderful, wonderful world !

This music does bring back memories of a time being young and restless, a time when love was so easy!

Love Jackson Brown...Abbey San Encino, Highland Park, Los Angeles, CA - our homeboy! Love you since my college days in the 70s!

How cool to have CSN as your backing vocalists... :) Love JB, love CSN and for me The Pretender is one of his best songs

His words will live on. A poet extrordinaire.

No better a talented and gifted guys than CSN to do this Masterpiece tune of Jackson Browne and to do it with the legend himself. Folks, this kind of music has been a stress relief for me for years......

There are a small handful of songs that so great they fall in a category so far above the thousands of mediocre ones that have been written they can called "other-worldly" or perhaps, "gifts from god." The Pretender is in this elite category.
