I went to Jackson Browne's benefit concert "No On Recall". It was the first time I had seen him in 15 months. The tickets were already
sold out as soon as they went on sale; therefore I didn't have a ticket,
but fortunately I was able to get an extra ticket. My seat position was
not so good; it was the 16th row from the stage, but the venue, Lobero
Theatre, has only 680 seats, so I enjoyed that night.
At 8:30 pm, Jackson started the show and the first set
was an acoustic performance by himself. He played acoustic guitar and keyboard
alternately. At the 3rd song, Jackson called his friend, and David Crosby
entered the stage to sing with Jackson. Jackson also sang a new song for
his fans. After 30 minutes intermission, the 2nd set started. He played
two solo songs and then, he called the band members. The 2nd set was a
rock band style show. Actually I prefer this kind of style. At the first
part of "The Pretender", he made mistakes in singing, and also sometimes
forgot the lyrics in the other songs, but the audience watched over him
tenderly with giggles. It was a heart-warming spectacle. |
