Jackson Browne was touring Australia and my girlfriend and I went to the concert, we were hanging around out the back (we couldnt afford tickets), there was just the two of us and the security at the door was giving us scowls....Jackson Browne appears at the door has a look about, smiles at us and says something to the security guard then disappears back inside. A few moments later the guard comes over and invites us in....we watched the end of Maria Mulduar's set and watched Jackson's whole set. Such an act of kindness and one that has stayed with me to this day.
Love Sklar’s stories. I recall being a kid and compulsively reading lineups and liner notes in albums and seeing his name so much. It’s really cool to hear these stories.
Same here
For me , these videos are like tearing the cellophane of a new album and reading the liner notes..
In my opinion, the greatest singer/songwriter of his generation. I've seen him several times and he has a great rapport with the audience as well. I have all his albums/cds.
Jackson is my heart and soul.
I think Jackson had so much heartache in his life that it reflected in his songwriting. He was just able to portray that sadness in his songs that pulled you in. Lee along with Russ David Lindley Kootch and Doerge was the icing on the cake! God those songs were so good! 💕🪕🎸
That’s why we relate.❤
Are so good.

That album was so much live that you could hear the bus changing gears during the quiet parts of Nuthin But Time.
Jackson's Hold Out album is part of my DNA.😁🎶🎹🎹🎶Play On
me too, had it on 8 track, still have it on vinyl, cassette, and cd
I worked in a record store in the 70's in Michigan and Jackson Browne was playing at Pine Knob and a guy came in the store looking for roadies to help at the concert. I knew if I called my parents they would've freaked out and say no so it was pointless offering my help but I STILL regret not just going for it and telling my folks that I was spending the night at a friends house. Who knows what it would've led to?
Definitely a song writing Master and excellent musician.... Legend
Jackson Browne is just the most wonderful artist and human being. I love him and his music so much.
When I first started playing guitar, his songs were what I played and sang.
We’ve seen him live twice, once in a big venue with the big band (including Leland Sklar!), and once in a small venue acoustic, with Keb Mo and Steve Earle. What a joy.
Leland Sklar is such a wonderful story teller of the golden days of folk-rock.
More, please!
ditto
Thank you both Leland Sklar and Sunset Sound Recorders for documenting a major contribution to music recording.
I like the formats chosen that include the entire interview as body, and the separate sections as an edited selection. 👍
My first concert ever was the Running on Empty tour concert in Dayton, OH, which I think was right in early '79? Or was that late 78 in, say, November? It was amazing. And I got my "No Nukes" Jackson Tee!
I saw Lee with Jackson Browne on the Running On Empty tour. One of the best concerts I've ever seen
my all time fav bass player the best of the best Thanks for all the great music , god bless.
Running on empty tour !!! Saw you live on a warm summer night in Philly . Great show ❤
Thanks for this.❤ Jackson is a shining star so young, giving his all to the community/the world . How our paths become so much easier with the gift of music.❤🙏🏻
We are so Blessed to have JACKSON BROWNE give us his incredible Songs , , and there’s Leland being so cool and perfect on so many great Artist’s Records.
Great insight by Lee always talks the Truth
I love JB’s music and writing also.
Kudos to Leland for his work on the Running On Empty album and tour. I got to see that show in Philly and again in Holmdel NJ. The shows were perfect. I think Russell dropped a stick during the title song and he simply carried on unphased. It is arguably the best live album ever made. Title song is pure, unadulterated straight up Rock n Roll in all its power and glory, as it was meant to be. As the opening number of the show, it just blew me away. Jackson is a serious rocker. Leland is a legend.
Jackson and Lee Sklar (and the others from that original group) - my favorite musicians! ❤❤❤❤❤
Great interview. I love to hear the stories of my favorite songs from the past. Thank you.
Cool conversation.👍💪🎸
Hi Lee, I have followed your channel since the early days. Thank you for all you have done and still do. I know guitar players are a dime a dozen, but if you ever need one for a tour in a pinch, I’ll pinch hit for ya.
It seems JB's talent and genius are greatly aided by the fact that he _cares_. He cares about being true to a song and getting the next line right just as he cares about the world he's living in.
World In Motion... not my favorite album among the places his Muse has taken him... but his commitment and dedication are there... no doubt a part of why he and his music remain, all these years, an inspiration.
Whenever you hear him sing you just know it’s him. He looks almost unrecognizable now. I see pictures of him & can’t believe it’s him, until he starts singing.
💜
Your talking about Jackson.? He was so incredibly good looking in his younger days, nobody expected him to age. Lol.
Please convince Lee to write a book about his music journey ❤
'Everybody loves him' 💖 🧙♂️🎶⚡☮️
I ran into Jackson in a little music store in Claremont, CA, in about 1980. He was crouched down behind the end of the counter, playing really good guitar. I didn’t recognize him but stood and listened for a minute. He looked like a 15 year old. He was 27. I recognized him when I heard him introduced to the store owner.
My older sister had a couple JB albums when I was growing up mid 70s and I remember even as a kid listening to his songs and thinking what a great writer! The way he brings out that bittersweet nostalgic emotion in his music is just next level art. Still listening to those early albums ALL the time! Thanks Lee and gang for the music. The early 70s is my favorite period .
Soooo Gooood!!! #jacksonbrowne
Jackson produced my favorite, Warren Zevon.
I've only seen jackson browne live once, smaller venue... just great! His older music is tided so closely to my own life in the 70s. Turned on the For EVERYMAN by a good friend who later died in a rockslide in N AZ. But JB is just a fantastic lyricist!
Legend
Thanks
Jackson is great but definitely not a savant. This stuff doesn't just pop out of him like Athena from the head of Zeus. He works and reworks his songs till they're perfect. He worked on "Take It Easy" so long, Glen Frey had to take it away from him to finish!
Re: the late Greg Ladanyi - When have you heard the recording engineer referred to during a song as in “Cocaine” on “Running On Empty?”
I named my daughter (middle) after Jackson. She loves his music. Running on Empty is my wheelhouse album. 17 and just out of high school. Those days….👍🤪🏳️🌈
I remember hearing a quote by Jackson Browne, discussing how he has such warm & tender intimate songs about relationships, and then such scathing socio-political songs, and he said “Sometimes you breathe in, and some times you breathe out…”
Very profound.
Tanglewood!
Nitty Gritty. Dirt Band, Steve Martin and Jackson Brown at the Paradox City of Orange 1966 or was it 65? I was there.
I love how Lee refers to everyone as cats.
My first songwriting hero
Nope, my Beard is only half measured by yours. But your knowledge mess.erise me. Your friends your past surpasses all yu years. Of being there. & thank u 4 sharing as u dew. ROCK ON ✌️ 👍 😎
Lee Sklar :"There was something about the music scene in the early 70's"
That period was a difficult one for me having come back from Vietnam (spit on by protestors at the Long Beach Naval yard) and meeting up with all my high school buddies who were now listening to Black Sabbath... I was distressed asking "What happened to Crosby, Stills and Nash ?" I got laughed at and no offense to "Ozzy and the boys". Death metal was tough to listen to.
The final painful moment was hearing "Baba O'Reilly" by the Who and the lyrics of "Teenage Wasteland".
Reality ?
The insanity of the Vietnam war? Having joined the Navy to avoid the draft and being thrown into the meat grinder; I was a Malibu surfer kid that came home with a young body and an old man's head on my shoulders.
Peace
I had three uncles drafted into that war. It really messed up two of them and they both died before they were 30. My step mother lost her brother. My brother was a victim of agent orange. You are all heroes in my eyes. Jane Fonda was a traitor. Thank you Sir for your service

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
He was considered incredibly influential by many 1970's and 1980's artists. As far as his humanity, I'm guessing that Darryl Hannah may not agree, as they broke up because he used to beat her. Anyway, he is pretty much there when there is a need.
I believe Lee corrected himself on his channel; Bob Glaub is credited on bass for “Doctor My Eyes”
Nope. Lee played bass on Doctor My Eyes. He's got a video of him plying along with the original tape on the same instrument he used in the recording session. He plays the part note for note as he played it in the session.
I saw the video, I also recall he subsequently said he wasn’t actually sure. Anyway, the credit is there, although unfortunately is somewhat open to interpretation. Anyway, check out the Glaub interview. They undoubtedly know each other, and I’m not about to out of hand assume he’d not tell the truth, especially if he was there and likely able to recall providing such an iconic bass line.
C'mon Ted and Donn!
I’ve never seen someone who is more of a Van Halen fanboy…. Every clip, it’s like “So, do you know Eddie. So, Jackson Browne… Did he know Eddie? So, you worked with Prince, tell me about Eddie.”
Hope it's only Amnesia 🙏
Poosette dart
Didn’t he beat someone…? I swear I remember something from the 90s on that
He had some big falling out with Darryl Hannah may be what you’re thinking of and he lost his shit and it was in public I think.
Nothing can quite make a fool of a guy like a woman.
There was no proof of anything. Just a breakup and the woman took it hard and spread some shit. People can be evil when things don't go their way and they want to hurt people because they hurt.
The album I’m Alive really brought those issues and heartache he lost with Darryl Hannah! Another masterpiece is Sky blue and black…
Any Truth to The Rumor
That Lee Sklar is Actually
Lee Golden…..?
Just Asking
Lee WHO? Was he in Lord of the Rings?!
Best part of coof was revealing how many musicians are complete idiots. Sklar definitely makes the list
Lee was great. The other guy was a dope.
