A solid show and good capture from the middle of the “Running On Empty” Tour. Recorded close to the stage likely using a recorder with an internal mic, we do get some instances of the music overpowering the mic creating some slight distortion.

A much longer show than what we have for Birmingham I posted from two nights before (Birmingham may be incomplete though there are no tell-tale cuts). It’s nice to get “Jamaica Say You Will” and “Song For Adam” which appear inconsistently throughout the tout.

Thanks once again to my long time trading ally MR for the file.

Superb songs beautifully voiced in front of an excellent band. Did my best with track splits and titles; all completions, corrections, or other improvements gratefully received. Thanks and appreciation are owed the recordist, of whose name I am unaware, for the fine source recording. The torrent has applause in balance, many talk and some music levels raised, and hoots, etc. removed or reduced. It is a fresh transfer from my clone and therefore will differ from previous versions of this performance, if any.

Faults: The talk and applause are full of whistles, cheers, and sometimes chatter. Generally the music is clear making this very clearly a worthwhile listen.

The LP ìRunning On Emptyî was released on December 6, 1977, the album concept was to record on the fly songs, not previously released, in locations associated with touring (on stage, hotel rooms, buses, backstage). A unique concept that is widely viewed as his most accessible album and the last of a brilliant run of five releases beginning with 1972ís ìJackson Browneî (1980 began a string of less than stellar releases as Jackson tended to fall victim to the excessive over-production of the 1980ís).

Red Rocks marked the opening night of the tour and live debut of many of the songs that would ultimately end up on the ìRunning On Emptyî release four months later. The live songs on the release were taken from August 27th Columbia, MD, September 6th & 7th Holmdel, NJ and the September 17th Universal City shows. The basic structure of the set remained the same as the 1976 tour, the only drawback I can see is the shows could have been an hour longer and maintained a high level of musical output. This tour showed Jackson to be both a singer songwriter and a showman.

The raw tape came with a number of issues needing to be repaired before release. It ran slightly fast throughout and has been pitch adjusted. The frequency spectrum leaned heavily to the high end making it a bit shrill in places with a small bit of high end distortion, it’s at time a little rough around the edges. Mastering took care of a vast majority of these issues and the results, though not perfect, are quite listenable.

Various Artists
Nobody Sings Dylan Like Dylan, Vol. 26: Festivus Was Over, the Boys Were All Plannin’ For a Fall – Various Artists MODIFIED

Happy Festivus everyone! Gather round the Festivus Pole and we’ll have the Airing of Grievances, Feats of Strength, and maybe even a Festivus Miracle. We’ve got NSD debuts by Jackson Browne, Los Lobos and The Ramones, among others. We’ve got The Roots’s epic version of “Masters of War.” And we’ve got “the only known Bob Dylan Christmas song.”

As always, thanks to the tapers, the original uploaders, the nice folks who’ve sent me recordings (especially Ramone-master Gaston, who responded to my plea for “My Back Pages”), the fine artists who’ve created cover artwork, and especially the performers and composer. Due to the many different sources, I am not including lineages. I have done nothing to the original files but normalize the levels and fade in and out on each track (using Cool Edit). If you’ve got something good, PM me. More volumes will follow in 2008.

Jackson Browne – Osaka, Japan (03/24/77)

JACKSON BROWNE with band featuring David Lindley
First Time in Osaka
Osaka Festival Hall
Osaka, Japan
March 24, 1977

Jackson gave an amazing show for his first appearance in Osaka. The setlist is outstanding overall and contains unique one-of-a-kind performances of The Only Child and Cocaine in addition to arrangements which feature his band and, especially, David Lindley.

This is a wonderful audience recording with excellent sound for 1977. The recording remains as I received it in a trade except that at the beginning of Disc 2 I separated Jackson’s comments to the audience from The Only Child into a distinct track.

The band:

Jackson Browne–vocals, guitar, piano
David Lindley–guitars, violin, vocals

There seems to be a lot of questions and mis-information around Jackson’s Japanese leg of 1977 ‘The Pretender Tour’.
Piecing it all together it appears Jackson played Japan six times during the tour and the dating below I believe is the most accurate.

03/16/77 Nakano Sun Plaza, Tokyo, Japan
03/18/77 Nakano Sun Plaza, Tokyo, Japan
03/20/77 Shinjyuku Koseinenkin Hall, Tokyo, Japan
03/23/77 Kanagawa Preformance Hall, Yokohama, Japan
03/24/77 Festival Hall, Osaka, Japan
04/09/77 Kokusai Boeki Center, Tokyo, Japan “Rolling Coconut Revue”

Most of these dates do not appear to be in general circulation and they are not the best of quality.

Offered here is the second night in Tokyo, pitch adjusted and mastered. Quality is listenable but I’d consider it average at best. However, I wanted to get it out since this leg of the tour seems to be vastly under represented. This is the best quality of the Japanese shows I possess. I’ve done a ton of work mastering it to get it to what I’d consider a presentable package.

The show is an interesting listen, before “For A Dancer” he asks that the “cat calls must end” and about two minutes into “For A Dancer” he stops the song and spends about two minutes scolding an American audience member for being drunk, singing at the top of his lungs and disrupting the show, commenting if “you were in my audience at home they would have kicked your ass ten minutes ago”.

“Redneck Friend” during this portion of the tour generally appeared as part of an encore medley between “Do You Wanna Dance” and “Sweet Little Sixteen”, for this show “Redneck Friend” is a stand alone here to open the encores.

Thanks to MR for the files…samples provided and artwork included.

This appears to be a very lightly circulated recording, it’s a fine capture close to the stage.

There were a number of issues to deal with, the most severe was the pitch being extremely slow and requiring a whopping +110 cents adjustment to correct.

In addition, the frequency spectrum was very limited and leaned heavily towards the low end but I am pleased with how the mastering turned out making this a solid listen and a nice addition to the available recordings for a great tour.

It is possible it’s missing a song or two, though it plays continuous and there doesn’t seem to be any glaring cuts, “Late For The Sky” in particular appears to have been played often on this tour. There are a lot of partial setlists on line for the tour so it’s difficult to get a sense of what the “standard” setlist was for each night. It is confirmed as Kansas City due to a city name check by Jackson during the show.

Big thanks to MR for the transfer and the .wav file out of his collection.

-Minor pitch variances

This show was part of the 1988 nineteen city “Christic Institute” benefit tour and does not appear to be widely circulated.

Quality on this one is average at best and suffers from the unknown generation source. The left channel was unusable and I had to turn it into a true mono capture before mastering which improved it tremendously from were we started. It is listenable but probably not one that will solicit repeat play. There is some borderline minor pitch variances throughout the show but I would not consider them a major issue to the overall listenability.

Danny O’Keefe opens with an 8 song solo set followed by comedian Bruce Crimmins. No real surprises to the set for this time period, we do get a nice “Our Lady Of The Well” to close the show.

Jackson forgets the words to “For America” and has to stop, jokes about it then restarts.

Artwork and samples provided…I’ve also added a handful of newspaper reviews of the show.
