Jackson Browne - Ready or Not
Led Zeppelin - Over The Hills And Far Away
Stories - Brother Louie
Aerosmith - Mama Kin
Stevie Wonder - Higher Ground
David Bowie - Friday On My Mind
Eagles - Desperado
O'Jays - Love Train
Paul McCartney - Band on the Run

that's a damn fine set; sorry I missed the Glenda Jackson clip from A Touch of Class.

I'd never heard this Jackson Browne before.  I'm surprised at how much I like his early early stuff considering how much I dislike of his later.

Don't know if this is still the case, but in the late 70s and early 80s, he refused to play this song because he wrote it about his courtship of his late wife, Phyllis, who'd committed suicide shortly after the birth of their son.
Let's get right to it.

I still maintain that prior to Running on Empty, Jackson was doing some of the very best music around.  The concerts, when David Lindley was playing with him, were magical.
