"Working with Jackson Browne Was The Best" Lee Sklar on Sunset Sound Roundtable

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.

For me , these videos are like tearing the cellophane of a new album and reading the liner notes..

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! 💕🪕🎸

Jackson's Hold Out album is part of my DNA.😁🎶🎹🎹🎶Play On

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 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!

Jackson is my heart and soul.

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. 👍

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.

Definitely a song writing Master and excellent musician.... Legend

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.

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!

Great insight by Lee always talks the Truth

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?

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.

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.❤🙏🏻

Running on empty tour !!! Saw you live on a warm summer night in Philly . Great show ❤

Jackson and Lee Sklar (and the others from that original group) - my favorite musicians! ❤❤❤❤❤
