Jackson Browne
Jackson Browne is here to promote his new album and use the tour as a warm up for his upcoming US Summer Blockbuster tour.
“Time The Conqueror” is a good album as per most of his outputs, but alas some of the crowd (40+ age group) now seem to only be happy at a greatest hits show. Tonight we got both. Over two and half hours of music spread over two sets mixing old and new material.
Perhaps we were lucky to have the special family perfomance for his son who lives in Australia was present.
From the new album, ‘Time The Conqueror’, a fantastic ‘Drums Of War’, ‘Live Nude Cabaret’, ‘Just Say Yeah’, ‘Off to Wonderland’, ‘Going down to Cuba’ and others were interspersed with ‘Doctor My Eyes’, ‘About My Imagination’, ‘Boulevard’ , ‘The Pretender’, ‘The Barricades Of Heaven’, ‘Culver Moon’ , ‘Lives in The Balance’ and many more. Those who came for the big hits weren’t disappointed with ‘Running On Empty’ and ‘The Load Out/Stay’
Mark Goldenberg on guitar has a hard task living up to previous standards. Those of us spoiled by David Lindley were not disappointed.
A very good concert and another ‘great’ I can tick off my list.
