Jackson Browne - Beacon Theater, NYC
The show is billed as "An Evening with Jackson Browne" and that's just how it felt. Since I was a teenager, Jackson's music has been a part of the soundtrack of my life . And I know I'm not the only one. He and his incredible band played for nearly three hours - the songs spanning the decades. At every transition, Jackson would interact with us all - telling stories, jokes, anecdotes - making us feel like we were old friends. The Beacon is a perfect venue - large enough for the packed crowd - but somehow still intimate and with outstanding acoustics. At this point of his career, Jackson could just coast on his huge catalog of hits. But he showcased his new album and fresh arrangements of older songs. He has grown so much as a performer. He is so open, funny, generous on stage - grateful for the opportunity. And honestly - he sounds better than ever.
As good as he's ever been
I’m a long time JB fan. His music has been a mainstay of my life’s soundtrack. This performance was pitch perfect. The set list, his voice and the remarkable band and backup vocalists delivered a “10â€. Jackson Browne is a treasure and even his oldest songs hold up so well.
Outstanding
One of the best shows I’ve seen for years, Jackson Browne is at his best, voice, presence, musicality, everything, The band is absolutely outstanding too, if you want to see / hear some real magic, don’t miss him!
Beacon Theatre Magic
Three hours of amazing music! Lucius started things off and they were little BOSSES. My first time hearing them and I loved them! Jackson Browne was kind, funny and amazing. His interaction with other artists is magic🙌
He’s just Jackson
No glitz...no glitter. To all his fans from the beginning- Jackson Browne could sing “ Row your boat†for 3 hours and it would be enjoyable. The cozy Landmark Theatre in Syracuse is a perfect venue for his show. His female backup singers were terrific and his band just awesome. But it’s one of the most identifiable voices ever in music that made this a night to remember. 70 years old(almost?) and the pipes appear to have no rust. Good guy too.
Running on Forever
Came to Vegas to see Jackson Browne and was not disappointed at all. His voice is still wonderful (how does he sing better in the higher range?) And his backup singers are A-mazing, as is his oh-so-talented band. His first songs were basically political and given the state of the world, he seemed burdened. (How could one not?) But the more he sang and with the love his fans displayed, he seemed to enjoy himself more and shine a bit brighter. By the end, he (and we) were soaring. He broke his set list a bit, and an usher told us he played a half hour longer than previous evenings (Thanks, Venetian). I saw him live when I was 19 and only again now, 50 years later. What perfect bookends. Thanks, Jackson, for being one of the composers to the soundtrack of my life!!!
