Jackson Browne Reviews

BLOWN AWAY

An amazing show - Jackson Browne sounds just like he did 50 yrs. ago (still so talented). Each and every one of his band along with the back up singers were phenomenal. Show started exactly on time, no pre-performance band, they played for 3 hours with a short intermission, perfect! and a surprise sit in by Bruce Hornsby. FANTASTIC SHOW!!! highly recommend!

JACKSON BROWNE - BEACON THEATER, NYC

The show is billed as "An Evening with Jackson Browne" and that's just how it felt. Since I was a teenager, Jackson's music has been a part of the soundtrack of my life . And I know I'm not the only one. He and his incredible band played for nearly three hours - the songs spanning the decades. At every transition, Jackson would interact with us all - telling stories, jokes, anecdotes - making us feel like we were old friends. The Beacon is a perfect venue - large enough for the packed crowd - but somehow still intimate and with outstanding acoustics. At this point of his career, Jackson could just coast on his huge catalog of hits. But he showcased his new album and fresh arrangements of older songs. He has grown so much as a performer. He is so open, funny, generous on stage - grateful for the opportunity. And honestly - he sounds better than ever.

AS GOOD AS HE'S EVER BEEN

I’m a long time JB fan. His music has been a mainstay of my life’s soundtrack. This performance was pitch perfect. The set list, his voice and the remarkable band and backup vocalists delivered a “10”. Jackson Browne is a treasure and even his oldest songs hold up so well.

OUTSTANDING

One of the best shows I’ve seen for years, Jackson Browne is at his best, voice, presence, musicality, everything, The band is absolutely outstanding too, if you want to see / hear some real magic, don’t miss him!

ROCKIN' AT RED ROCKS

How anyone could write a less than five-star rating for this concert is beyond me. Jackson Browne still has what it takes to wow an audience. His voice is still vibrant, and his band, including his two back-up singers, is incredible. I loved that he played songs from his new album as well as some standards. As a music fan, I can say that the solo instrumentals of every member of his band were beautiful. In all honesty, I was brought to tears by the musical talent and the reminder that we've all moved along but still can experience great performers like Jackson Browne. Of course the Red Rocks Amphitheater helped make the show. Two encores and a three-hour show far exceeded my expectations, which were very high. Would travel to see his next show if we're lucky enough to have that opportunity.

JACKSON BROWNE COLUMBUS 2023

Still on a high after having seen Jackson Browne and friends for 11th time. Palace Theater in Columbus is ideal for performance of this magnitude. Expectations are always very high for JB and, as per usual, they were met and exceeded. Set list was drawn from entire career and included several gems not appearing on most 2023 lists, including "These Days", "Lawless Avenues", and " I Am A Patriot". Supporting cast was impeccable and Craig Doerge was fantastic on slide . guitar. Have seen Jackson at semi-regular intervals over almost 50 years and can honestly say he, his voice and overall performance hasn't lost a step in any phase. If you are at all on the fence about making the effort to attend, pull the trigger. You'll be glad you did .

ANOTHER GREAT J. BROWNE CONCERT

This is my fifth time seeing Jackson Browne (JB) over the last 44 years and it was another fantastic show. The Palace Theatre was a great venue and JB's voice, and band filled the venue with great music. I've been to an acoustic show where the audience shouted requests and JB did the song. Unfortunately, now a vocal group of folks feel that every concert should be shouted requests instead of a planned and rehearsed setlist. The setlist was a great blend of classics (For a Dancer, Dr My Eyes, Running on Empty, Your Bright Baby Blues) some surprises (Love Needs a Heart, Something Fine, Farther On) and some great newer stuff also (Barricades of Heaven, Until Justice is Real). He played for almost three hours and my only regret is that he couldn't play for three more!
