I was doing fine, thinking about this being the pairing that first brought Dave into the musical consciousness of so many. Playing one of the songs that really solidified Dave into our frontal lobes. Then I noticed your comment... damn. Doctor, my eyes.... So, what's the name of that quick stuttering inhalation that stops a full-blown sob from starting, anyway? ✌and ❤
@Lee C You said it brother. It’s just laughable to think how low popular music has sunk when compared with folks who “just” play instruments and sing. FFS, when did that become “not enough”?
God I love this song. Makes me cry. Every damn time. Can we ever get those hope-filled days back? Listening in July 2022. 💔This is a masterpiece. I am 71. Still remember those heady days, 1966-1970. VOTE, everyone, please!
Absolutely beautiful version and may David Lindley rest in peace! Another amazing musician for heaven! This version is so emotionally moving and the music just *stirs my soul!" Joan Baez performed a duet of this with Jackson at her 75th birthday concert.
So beautiful yet heartbreaking. I will be 70yrs May 2024. All this brings up so much....good and bad. We have lost so many greats. I for one, will not be the same if Jackson goes before me. My life in his music. "When the light within us reaches sky" RIP Sweet David and Jeff🤠🙏🎸🎶
50 yrs of his music and it never feels old or dated. If I needed a soundtrack for my life it would be the music of this man. We have been fortunate indeed to have been blessed with his songs of life. Thank you JB
This song has made the hair on my arms stand up since I heard it in the 70's. How true it still is, perhaps, more timely and true than ever. Thank you Jackson Browne, a prophet in your own time, a Bard for all of us.
Hello 👋 lauren How're you doing, it's been a long journey, and I'm nothing without amazing fans like you who appreciate my musical craftiness, All love to you and yours ❤️
@@jacksonbrowne-de2fu "Hello, Jackson," she humbly began. You observe the world very carefully. Yes, the Earth was abused by the men who learned how to forge Her beauty into power; and yet, on sites where lyrics can be found, someone now makes assumptions that you've implied all the jaded humans have destroyed the Earth. It's not especially true and not what you said, just the latest narrative. Lately I'm wondering if those power hungry ones will be confused by the magnitude of Her Fury in the final hour. . . . . .
One of the most beautiful songs ever written.... Turns my heart to absolute moosh.... And it has consistently done so for decades! Well done Jackson, my fav musical hero...
Fly high, David Lindley 💗and thank you...what a gift you've been here on earth. Your legacy will continue to shape the lives of millions, through your beautiful fiddle playing. Thank you and rest in peace...may David's family and many many friends find peace and healing in his body of beautiful work left behind. 🙏🏻
So much to say, so little words. I was shocked to hear of David's passing and my condolences to Jackson, fellow musicians, family, and thousands of fans. This song and many of Jackson's are timeless and his connection with David was meant to be creating some of the best songs. Two incredibly gifted musicians I will cherish forever❤❤
My favorite artist of all time, he has always spoken directly to my soul. Clyde Jackson Browne is the most prophetic musician I have ever listened to. David Lindley on slide guitar and many other instruments is bonded with JB like a brother and plays with such beauty and intensity. The songs tell storys about life and lost loves that touch you so deeply that you think he was there when she left you and translated your pain with music.
My feelings exactly... he has written about every moment I have experienced and seen the depths of my soul. I have had the opportunity to meet him several times and spoken to him one on one. Thank you, Jackson, your music has brought my life peace.
I always wanted to see him perform in person. Finally madeattend his concert. Finally made it to a concert in Hawaii some years back. He played almost every song on the late for the sky album. Fountain of sorrow is one of my favorites and among others Adams song is very deep. I would like to know the stories behind both numbers.
Is there a better songwriter than Jackson Browne? He is unique. Lots of depth, but not overly quirky. Down to earth stuff. And is there a more versatile musician than David Lindley? Give him anything that has strings, and he can play it, even if he has never played it before. What a talent. He and Jackson make a wonderful team. I just participated in one of those Facebook challenges where you are supposed to pick 10 albums that have influenced your musical tastes. "Late For The Sky" was my #1 choice.
@@kevincrozier2236 I mentioned that I chose "Late For The Sky" as my #1 choice in that challenge where you name the albums that have influenced your musical tastes. I just realized that #2 was "Pieces Of The Sky" by Emmylou Harris. I guess I have a thing for the sky.
@@BobMarshall1952 i saw Jackson Browne with Steve Earle about 8 years ago. I dug Browne, some Fogelberg, and then these songwriters from Texas, Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, Blaze Foley.
Bob Mars, so spot on! And has a better ”breaking up song” been written than the titlesong Late for the sky- with that celestial guitarfigures by our beloved David L. ?
Hi Bob, you might get a kick out of this regarding Lindley and anything with strings. I've known him for much of my life and I ended up producing ukulele festivals among other things. Naturally, I invited Dave and asked him to add a couple numbers on uke to his set. Here they are, as unique as he is: czcams.com/video/hicabusfluY/video.html
Some of them were dreamers And some of them were fools Who were making plans and thinking of the future With the energy of the innocent They were gathering the tools They would need to make their journey back to nature While the sand slipped through the opening And their hands reached for the golden ring With their hearts they turned to each other's hearts for refuge In the troubled years that came before the deluge Some of them knew pleasure And some of them knew pain And for some of them it was only the moment that mattered And on the brave and crazy wings of youth They went flying around in the rain And their feathers, once so fine, grew torn and tattered And in the end they traded their tired wings For the resignation that living brings And exchanged love's bright and fragile glow For the glitter and the rouge And in a moment they were swept before the deluge Let the music keep our spirits high Let the buildings keep our children dry Let creation reveal its secrets by and by, by and by When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky Some of them were angry At the way the earth was abused By the men who learned how to forge her beauty into power And they struggled to protect her from them Only to be confused By the magnitude of her fury in the final hour And when the sand was gone and the time arrived In the naked dawn only a few survived And in attempts to understand a thing so simple and so huge Believed that they were meant to live after the deluge Let the music keep our spirits high Let the buildings keep our children dry Let creation reveal it's secrets by and by, by and by When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky
You could wake up from the grave and listen to this live performance and still shed a tear at the livid, real and original redention. Simply put, David Lindley was a strings beast! I was introduced to Jackson Brown's music way back in 1992 while studying at Birmingham, UK through his "I am alive" song, the rest is history.
I have heard Jackson Browne play countless versions of this song and every one was a classic!!!! Jackson Browne and David Lindley...............it just doesn't get any better!!!!
I agree; I’m pushing 80…been a rock/folk rock afficiado for…jeez, a ton of years. Got a lot of faves thru that time; but if I had to pick one to take to the desert island with me it would be Jackson.
I agree 100% been playing guitar for 50 years this is real music.. I could sit in with because I really feel it the music or noise we hear today is garbage these people today don't know what musicianship is real heartfelt music. Amen!!
I used this song for a high school English project and of course I got an "A"! I remembered to print the lyrics and pass them out to everyone . I wonder how many students were influenced and became JB fans.
When you hear so many of these songs and you realize Jackson was in or barely out of his teens when they were written. For me, he is my singer-songwriter. Just an amazing lyricist. I would love a quarter of his talent!
Neil Reed - I agree, his level of life insights at such a young age has always astounded me. Not only having these insights, he was a master at putting them into beautiful lyrics.
Jackson's writing and voice, along with David's perpetual, grinding lap steel, create another timeless masterpiece in the journey that many of us have come to know as that of Jackson Browne. Music we continue to live by.
I love mark knopfler and his Music, I just commented on this guy ; Fezes de Cavalo he said MK sings like shit , and I wrote back to him "obvious you have no Idea about Music" ! I did not mean MK !!
Music to live by tom but also to remember beloved dead ones by. I have sought so much comfort from "For a dancer" and just substitute the words dancing with skateboarding then you'd know how I came to think of my son when listening to it...czcams.com/video/ig6X3-9wxlI/video.html
My favorite song on earth. My hubby and I use to do this song. We smoked it! He's gone now since 2008. He's up there in the big jam session in Heaven. This song so touches my entire being. TY CJB. 🎸💜🎵😘
Perhaps only the Beatles could have had a greater impact on contemporary music than this musical genius. On the other side of the world here in Cape town for decades now, he has enchanted, fascinated and moved me beyond words!
Browne's Cistine Chapel. His Mona Lisa. His David. His Starry Night. His masterwork. I can think of no other songwriter who had more to say, or who said it better.
Mr Lindley had the gift of being able to use any musical instrument to speak,as if it were a lyric.I listen to these songs over and over for comfort and no matter what his hands touch it's magical and masterful.If you focus on him only in about every song you will hear this.Thank God we here have the benefit of recorded music to enjoy.Thank You for sharing your wonderful gift with us.❤🙏 8:21
Quality never die, Jackson and his believing in The Better World! We love his music and man he is, saw Jackson for several times in Holland, hope he ‘ ll come back soon.
THE soundtrack of my young adulthood in Los Angeles (when it was truly fun to live there). I love him and his musical legacy soooo much. I cry EVERY time I hear him. Had the privelege of sharing a joint with him in San Clemente in 1971. He and David Lindley were playing a tiny club there (and there were more people on the stage than in the audience, which included the club's owners). If I'd only fully realized at the time how fortunate I was to know his music so early on!
Hello 👋 Jeanine How're you doing, it's been a long journey, and I'm nothing without amazing fans like you who appreciate my musical craftiness, All love to you and yours ❤️
David Lindley had been one of my heroes since my school days in the early 80s, when my music teachers had the wit to introduce me to his work. I saw him on this tour a few days after this video was shot, and he did not disappoint.
Thank you My Roger , for introducing me to the sublime music of Jackson Browne, I treasure those magical times entwined with you listening to Jackson , I’m broken my love that you have found another , I thought you would STAY 💔RJYS .1979 -2008 💔
Don Simms - And now (March 2020) the waves are swirling and crashing all around us! Even Jackson has been caught in this threatening tide! May we somehow survive, and perhaps more may reach the wisdom that we must struggle together FOR THE GOOD OF ALL! LOVE and healing to you, Jackson!
That's for sure..homemade..and miles and miles of his music across this country and back many times..heart open..smiles across those miles of the most prophetic Minstrel of this century..he healed so many of us with this music..and still does..blessings to humanity.. "as the light within reaches the sky..
Why can't people see how close we are to JB's prophetic words today, December 2019. It is not too late, if we could only open the eyes of people so they could see the greed of these rich old men. Our grandchildren deserve better.
This truly brilliant masterpiece of words and music was first released in 1974 & sadly has become our shocking world environmental reality. The perfect prediction sends a shiver down my spine every time I hear it. What a brilliant and perfect combination of words & music from Jackson Browne, so brilliantly supported by the truly exceptional and the late great David Lindley, RIP, who will be so sadly missed but never forgotten.
from the cafeteria at Fullerton community college ,71, to the no nukes festival at the Hollywood Bowl to the Steve Goodman tribute @ Pac Amp to Chapman College playhouse , jackson Browne the poet and soundtrack for our lives and time
Hello 👋 Melody How're you doing, it's been a long journey, and I'm nothing without amazing fans like you who appreciate my musical craftiness, All love to you and yours ❤️
LOVE David Lindley adding the perfect amount of spice to a beautiful song. His Masterful guitar work on the studio version of Late For the Sky,is like one long guitar solo...perfection!
I was there with my closest brother, sadly now deceased, at Glastonbury 2010. This was perfect ! Always loved this man and what he believes and stands up for.....epitome of ageless cool.
The legendary jackson browne,with the best lap steel player in the world david lindley,something very soulfull about these great musicians,in my opinion the the best singer song writer of all time.
Hello 👋 Dorina How're you doing, it's been a long journey, and I'm nothing without amazing fans like you who appreciate my musical craftiness, All love to you and yours ❤️
I agree most wholeheartedly. I rate this as one of the most lyrically perfect songs ever written. As an aside, try Sturgill Simpson-Turtles All The Way Down.
Perry Kellogg, stay young, my friend. (I think Jackson has been singing for your entire life; how fortunate you are to have been present for this minstrel’s journey.)
Perry Kellogg For me too, my first ever experience was way back in the 70’s and Jackson’s “For a Dancer” was on “The Old Grey Whistle Test” I was forever touched. Regards from Wales UK
David Lindley is arguably one of the most talented, original string musicians of his era.....which is a pretty expansive timeline. He is a true inspiration to any young person or student who wants to study any string instrument. Of course this group of folks are talent personified....Kevin, Mark, Mauricio , JEFF, Chavonne, Alethea......love'em all! Thanks for sharing.
BradVan2008 Thanks for sharing that. I agree with you. This particular song seems very special to me. It's like a spiritual paean to a certain time when seeking was almost like a new pilgrimage for many people. I'm 62, so I remember that time. Very deep song from the soul of Jackson Browne. I think his parents ere missionaries or something like that. .
Not only is David Lindley a great lap steel guitar player, he can play virtually any instrument that has strings. Really, give him strings, and he can play it, even if he has never seen it before. He is a virtuoso. Never heard him play the dobro, but I'd bet he'd he do a bang-up job of that.
Rest In Peace, David Lindley and Jeff Young
Yes he will be sadly missed.
Yes indeed! ❤
One of the best songs ever written.Thank you Jackson, for not letting us forget when we were young and full of hope.😢
This is what I woke up to this morning. It couldn't be sweeter. ❤❤🌅
Watching this with tears in my eyes, mourning the passing of the great David Lindley 💔
Jackson Browns music is great and timeless, but David Lindley made it even more so. I’m sad at his passing.
I was doing fine, thinking about this being the pairing that first brought Dave into the musical consciousness of so many. Playing one of the songs that really solidified Dave into our frontal lobes. Then I noticed your comment... damn. Doctor, my eyes....
So, what's the name of that quick stuttering inhalation that stops a full-blown sob from starting, anyway? ✌and ❤
David was at the heart of this music. I feel blessed to have seen them together many times.
Jeff Young (Keyboards) passed just a few weeks before David. 😥
Did n't realise he had passed away until I read this. The news saddens me.
Those of you who listen to this masterpiece today with the same emotion as 45 years ago?
I am proud to be one of those.
All of Jackson’s music is resonating DEEPER THAN EVER!
Me too
Yes! I did a project on this song for a college music class in the early eighties and it still evokes the same emotion for me. 💜
So am I!
Count me in. ...ah, the resignation that living brings.
THIS is music. No jumping around, no choreography, no posing, no outfits, no outrageous hair, just beautiful, timeless music.
@Lee C You said it brother. It’s just laughable to think how low popular music has sunk when compared with folks who “just” play instruments and sing. FFS, when did that become “not enough”?
Your so right
Bob Luckett l
Class will always last, and good songs will always be good songs. No tricks or gimmicks needed.
Dontmakeitlikethatanymore
Bittersweet to see both Jeff Young and David Lindley who left this material world so recently. RIP to both of them.
So grateful we have these videos to keep precious memories alive. Long live Jeff and David.
RIP Maestro David Lindley, grateful for these videos❤

Some of them were dreamers
And some of them were fools
Who were making plans and thinking of the future
With the energy of the innocent
They were gathering the tools
They would need to make their journey back to nature
While the sand slipped through the opening
And their hands reached for the golden ring
With their hearts they turned to each other's hearts for refuge
In the troubled years that came before the deluge
Some of them knew pleasure
And some of them knew pain
And for some of them it was only the moment that mattered
And on the brave and crazy wings of youth
They went flying around in the rain
And their feathers, once so fine, grew torn and tattered
And in the end they traded their tired wings
For the resignation that living brings
And exchanged love's bright and fragile glow
For the glitter and the rouge
And in a moment they were swept before the deluge
Let the music keep our spirits high
Let the buildings keep our children dry
Let creation reveal its secrets by and by, by and by
When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky
Some of them were angry
At the way the earth was abused
By the men who learned how to forge her beauty into power
And they struggled to protect her from them
Only to be confused
By the magnitude of her fury in the final hour
And when the sand was gone and the time arrived
In the naked dawn only a few survived
And in attempts to understand a thing so simple and so huge
Believed that they were meant to live after the deluge
Let the music keep our spirits high
Let the buildings keep our children dry
Let creation reveal it's secrets by and by, by and by
When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky
E Johnson Whoah. Eh That's heavy hand writing
we need jackson browne in the era trump
Prophetic. Nature is unleashing; too many men have tried to forge her beauty into power.
Complex balance
Natures beauty
Man's need to survive.

No other artist has touched or reflected my life as much as Jackson Browne.

Wonderful version - all talented musicians and Jackson Browne writes such memorable anthems
I hope everyone in this country and beyond send their prayers and healing vibes to this guy, the poet troubadour of our younger years...❤️❤️❤️
Prayers lol.
Browne and Lindley are American treasures
A song that will forever be relevant. He is a master. There is no one else that can write like this. All timer.
Brilliant I'm 73 and listened to him for years. From Oz down under
Stunningly beautiful. Although you expect nothing less from Jackson.
I agree 100% been playing guitar for 50 years this is real music.. I could sit in with because I really feel it the music or noise we hear today is garbage these people today don't know what musicianship is real heartfelt music. Amen!!

thumbs up for the amazing back up singers who add so much to this song with little recognition ❤❤
This song needs to be taught in classes on literature . Top 100 song all time

Exactly for me too growing up in Malaysia. I memorised ( or used to ) all his albums right up to Lives in the Balance😅
The anthem of a generation--my generation. I'll never tire of the powerful message of this song.

@@JoeSmith-vh5ml ah yes Rusty Young! Great musician and a really nice person
Late For The Sky is definitely Jackson's greatest album, it's flawless.
Spot on sir!

How superb! Mature musicians at work. No need for flashing lights or other theatricals, just pure emotion and feeling.

Thank you My Roger , for introducing me to the sublime music of Jackson Browne,
I treasure those magical times entwined with you listening to Jackson , I’m broken my love that
you have found another , I thought you would STAY 💔RJYS .1979 -2008 💔
The song for our time. J B, your music is keeping our spirits high. Music will get us through these lonely times.
Not enough of these beautiful, soul touching ballads out there anymore. (...God, what has happened to music?)
We are in the midst of a deluge right now. May we survive
Yes, indeed! l always visioned him as a prophet.
I don't understand why the people are not crying out! I think that every time I hear this song. We are in a sad country right now.
My sentiments exactly! More relevant than ever!
Man are you right.
Don Simms - And now (March 2020) the waves are swirling and crashing all around us! Even Jackson has been caught in this threatening tide! May we somehow survive, and perhaps more may reach the wisdom that we must struggle together FOR THE GOOD OF ALL! LOVE and healing to you, Jackson!
Wow. Brings back lots of memories. Jackson Browne. I can't hear his music without thinking of my girl from way back then. Loved her so bad.
This is what I woke up to this morning. It couldn't be sweeter. 🌅 ❤❤
Grande música por dois músicos de excelência. Go in peace, David Lindley.
boy does this resonate in 2020...like all great art, it's both timeless...and forever timely. Thanks, JB.
Such a powerful song and yet he's so understated.
I have always loved Jackson Browne, his first few albums are the best. Many road trips with a homemade cassette tape of Jackson made the trip great !
Joan Ward Oh yeah cassettes ( mixed tapes ) and the open road Lots of early early buffet too I recall And tons of
That's for sure..homemade..and miles and miles of his music across this country and back many times..heart open..smiles across those miles of the most prophetic Minstrel of this century..he healed so many of us with this music..and still does..blessings to humanity.. "as the light within reaches the sky..
The masterpiece cut from his masterpiece album. Have been listening for 50 years.
Now more than ever...
Why can't people see how close we are to JB's prophetic words today, December 2019. It is not too late, if we could only open the eyes of people so they could see the greed of these rich old men. Our grandchildren deserve better.
If you only knew then, what we know now; you could have saved millions.
When the light thats lost within us reaches the sky.
I return over and over to gain wisdom and find peaceful moments from this world of turmoil .
One of his all time best. And David L is a legend on his own.
I think i will always return to Jackson Browne as the poet, the minstrel, writing and singing the lyrical narrative of my youth.
me too.
Absolutely true!
Yep me too
we need his music now more than ever in the era of corrupt , lying , traitor trump
Beautifully stated....thank you😊
Love this song when I’m out walking especially. Know it so well
This truly brilliant masterpiece of words and music was first released in 1974 & sadly has become our shocking world environmental reality. The perfect prediction sends a shiver down my spine every time I hear it.
What a brilliant and perfect combination of words & music from Jackson Browne, so brilliantly supported by the truly exceptional and the late great David Lindley, RIP, who will be so sadly missed but never forgotten.
A particularly fine version of this song. I'm glad I happened upon it. Thanks.
from the cafeteria at Fullerton community college ,71, to the no nukes festival at the Hollywood Bowl to the Steve Goodman tribute @ Pac Amp to Chapman College playhouse , jackson Browne the poet and soundtrack for our lives and time
Love this so much, so beautiful
Hello 👋 Melody
How're you doing,
it's been a long journey, and I'm nothing without amazing fans like you who appreciate my musical craftiness,
All love to you and yours ❤️
Just about the best there is...Jackson Browne...and what a band
LOVE David Lindley adding the perfect amount of spice to a beautiful song. His Masterful guitar work on the studio version of Late For the Sky,is like one long guitar solo...perfection!
I was there with my closest brother, sadly now deceased, at Glastonbury 2010. This was perfect ! Always loved this man and what he believes and stands up for.....epitome of ageless cool.
I agree 💯. A literal virtuoso of words & notes. The most prescient poet of our time.
The legendary jackson browne,with the best lap steel player in the world david lindley,something very soulfull about these great musicians,in my opinion the the best singer song writer of all time.
Beautiful version.
First heard him on armed forces radio with "Doctor, My Eyes" when I was stationed at nha be in vietnam. He sang for me then, and still does.
Love these two together (and the band, of course)...thank you. Love my favorite guy, Jackson
Hello 👋 Dorina
How're you doing,
it's been a long journey, and I'm nothing without amazing fans like you who appreciate my musical craftiness,
All love to you and yours ❤️
This takes me back quite a few years [too many]......what a great song, songwriter, performer, performance, band......simply brilliant
Dammit, got something in my eye...
Jackson looking so so cool❤️,love this man!!!.
Of all the great songs Jackson Browne created this may be the best. This is a wonderful version, thanks for posting.
I agree most wholeheartedly. I rate this as one of the most lyrically perfect songs ever written.
As an aside, try Sturgill Simpson-Turtles All The Way Down.
Jackson Browne has made me sing, love, and live music more than anyone in my 47 years....Enough said!
+Perry Kellogg Simple, but profound words. Same with me, thanks.
Sung at the No Nukes concert is where I first heard it.
Perry Kellogg, stay young, my friend.
(I think Jackson has been singing for your entire life; how fortunate you are to have been present for this minstrel’s journey.)
Perry Kellogg For me too, my first ever experience was way back in the 70’s and Jackson’s “For a Dancer” was on “The Old Grey Whistle Test” I was forever touched. Regards from Wales UK
Jackson represents my youthful aspirations..peaceful..carefree existence. Before the Deluge is a masterpiece on peaceful environment!
thanks a lot to jackson ...and his beautiful music.that remember me my youth .....
let the music keep our spirits high
This mans music is so heart warming and tranquil unique in every way .
Thank you for all the years!

I love David Lindley God bless you
great performance. Lindley's guitar work is such a great counter point to Jackson Browne's music. They perform effortlessly in harmony...
David Lindley is arguably one of the most talented, original string musicians of his era.....which is a pretty expansive timeline. He is a true inspiration to any young person or student who wants to study any string instrument. Of course this group of folks are talent personified....Kevin, Mark, Mauricio , JEFF, Chavonne, Alethea......love'em all! Thanks for sharing.
BradVan2008 Thanks for sharing that. I agree with you. This particular song seems very special to me. It's like a spiritual paean to a certain time when seeking was almost like a new pilgrimage for many people. I'm 62, so I remember that time. Very deep song from the soul of Jackson Browne. I think his parents ere missionaries or something like that.

Not only is David Lindley a great lap steel guitar player, he can play virtually any instrument that has strings. Really, give him strings, and he can play it, even if he has never seen it before. He is a virtuoso. Never heard him play the dobro, but I'd bet he'd he do a bang-up job of that.
Bob Marshall ....David is a master of the Weissenborn... an acoustic version of the lap steel
He plays some great dobro in the version of "STAY" in the 1978 J. B. BBC concert. Now on CZcams..
champion banjo picker and fiddle player as well
David could play on the wings of a fly :)
If he can play the lap steel, he can play the dobro (resonator). They are just usually tuned differently and of course one is electric, one acoustic.
Awesome I could listen to this all day over and over
There are very few that are fit to carry his guitar, or his pens, and paper. He has few peers. In my humble opinion he's the best ever
Best album ever. ❤
