JACKSON BROWNE and DAVID LINDLEY at GLASGOW ROYAL CONCERT HALL





Amongst Jackson Browne and David Lindleys other great exploits in the field of Music , the most ingenious of them has been his long time collaboration with Warren Zevon on many records and outstanding ground breaking projects.Along with Stevie Nicks , Jackson and Lindley provide the hypnotic background singing in "Under the Eaves" which is said to represent the steady hum which sends the subject of the song into a dreamy reverie.

Best of all David Lindley comes of with arguable the best guitar solo ever in the Zevon song "Play it All Night Long".

You know you are in for a very nice treat when the first song of the evening is a Warren Zevon cover and the next a Springsteen song about the after-plight of the Vietnam vets.


Below is the cover of the Springsteen song , played during the first set which was acoustic:



The second part of the concert was played with a full band , which is Sheryls Crows band which has been touring with Jackson on this tour.

Among the many highlights was this version of the quality "Before The Deluge" , a song about Hubris which has many connotations with the current Banking Crisis.




From his newer work the best one that stands alongside his perennial classics is the wonderfully harmonious "Giving That heaven Away" which harkens back to his memories of the 60s and how easily some precious things worth keeping can be given away cheaply for a trifling price.
