Did anyone else notice that Jackson seems to have had a little work done on his face? And I think it must have been recent, his pronunciation of words wasn't the same, little slurry here and there. Sounded like he might have been fighting a cold, too. Just saying, no big. I've heard him sing much better.

My wife and I first noticed several years ago that Jackson seemed to have some work done on his face. And his voice sounded a little hoarse, but it sounds better in the NPR Tiny Desk concert video about which Andy Volk started a thread, so maybe he had a cold or something the day of the Letterman taping.
Back to Jackson's face - he of course was one of Rock's "babe magnets" as a young dude, had it all going on. Good looking guy, sensitive singer/songwriter type but personable and witty.
Coincidentally it's Browne's 66th birthday today.
He still has the hair - you'd think that would suffice - but I guess he figured he could turn back time with some "work" on the old mug.
Decades spent being a babe magnet can be tough deal to face as far as when it's time to throw in the towel and call it quits.

The looks may be gone but at least (I just found out!), he's still alive! I knew that a Jackson Browne tribute album had come out recently and I thought I remembered reading he had passed away awhile ago (sorry JB!). I saw the title of this thread and it sounded interesting...did they use some sort of hologram of him singing while Greg played steel??? Turns out I had him confused with Dan Fogelberg. Hey, they both looked a fair amount alike back in the day. I guess I'm forced to admit that memory is the first thing to go...but then again those years were kinda tough on all of us

Au contraire, Tim. If you remember the lyrics, "Rosie" was written from the standpoint of the soundman, who let the cute girl into the show, and she ran off at the end of the night with the drummer.Tim Marcus wrote:thats why he has RosieMark Eaton wrote:Decades spent being a babe magnet can be tough deal to face as far as when it's time to throw in the towel and call it quits.
Might be different now for old Jackson now, but he was surely never the "Rosie" character back in the day...

I watched this on a tablet and could hear Greg quite well. My wife commented on the steel even from across the table. I loved the way Greg echoed then doubled parts of the closing solo on the first tune.
By the way, David McCallum is still acting on TV. He plays "Ducky" the medical examiner on NCIS these days. When I was a kid I wanted to BE Illya Kuryakin.

Greg's playing sounded extra silky this time around through the Milkman.
The second song medley of Take It Easy-Our Lady allowed Greg to open up heaven.
My fave JB album is Late For The Sky.
It appears they were doing an impromptu jam on Letterman but they pulled it together eventually.
Nice Hammond playing as well.
Illya playing a Tele. Now I've seen everything.

Saw Jackson Browne's show at the Benedum Theater in Pittsburgh last night. Very good. Greg Leisz was playing an Emmons guitar, a couple of six strings, as well as several different lap guitars, and nailed David Lindley's solos from the older tunes. He was spotlighted with a pedal steel solo on the very first song and I turned to the lady seated beside me and said, "This is the guy I came to see".

He's in Winslow Arizona but without seven women on his mind? I listened three times but I'm not sure what the song is about. Apparently there's some stuff. That he, like, noticed? - I never was good at the deep ones. That guitar player sure did bring enough pedals to play three songs! That's how you can tell the great ones, nowadays. I was immediately concerned that Mr. Liezs has the Easley Condition - he's too darn polite to just turn up and torch the noisy one. You could see that he at least thought about it once, though. I'll bet he could pretty much terrorize anybody if he ever got mad. And I'd pay to hear that....

If you've ever seen Leisz play, you know he cuts thru when he wants to, lays back otherwise. He's all about subtlety and leaving lots of room in the song.David Mason wrote:That guitar player sure did bring enough pedals to play three songs! That's how you can tell the great ones, nowadays.

As for the guitar player's pedals, he's probably got that board set up as a swiss army knife - all he needs there for any situation. He's not gonna tear about his pedal board to play 3 songs, he's just gonna put the whole board on the floor and use what he needs.

It's an extended E9 Williams he picked up a couple of years ago, Pete.
