Jackson Browne,David Lindley/OH,USA 1978

Jackson Browne of the golden age, whose miraculous mirrored recording “LONG BEACH 1978” is still fresh in our memories. A live album that can be called a sequel to that super masterpiece is now available. What is recorded in this work is “August 7, 1978 Cuyahoga Falls performance”. This is the best audience recording. Speaking of Brown in 1978, he was at the peak of his career with the huge success of his live album “RUNNING ON EMPTY.” First of all, let’s look back at the schedule at that time and check the show’s position. 1977《RUNNING ON EMPTY” released on December 6th》・December 31st: Inglewood performance 1978・January 14th-29th: North America #1 (9 performances)・February 22nd: Nashville performance・March 18th – April 21st: North America #2 (21 performances) ・June 8th – 11th: North America #3 (3 performances) ← *Millard Recording ・August 5th – September 2nd: North America #4 (16 performances) ←★Here★ This is the progress since the release of “RUNNING ON EMPTY”. There are many ambiguous points in the documents from that time, so please don’t trust the exact details such as the number of performances, but I think you can understand the general flow. Under such circumstances, “LONG BEACH 1978” recorded by Mike Millard was a mini section in June, while the Cuyahoga Falls performance of this work was “North America #4” two months later. This was the first concert. This work recorded at such a show is truly the best audience recording. Millard’s “LONG BEACH 1978” had a miraculous sound comparable to the official version “RUNNING ON EMPTY”, but I was surprised that this work was not inferior. I can’t mistake it for a sound board because the sound of the hall has been sucked in, but it doesn’t give a sense of distance. The strong core reaches straight to the front of your eyes in the center of the slightly fluffy atmosphere, and the details are also vivid. With that clarity as the main premise, this work is delicious even to the sound that seems to be an audience recording. The acoustic sound has a wonderful sense of reality as it plays right in front of your eyes, and the spectacle of applause that spreads throughout the venue, even though there are no nearby voices, warms your heart. In particular, the sound of the multiple choruses is as beautiful as a church gospel song, and the touches of guitar, piano, and violin are not hidden, yet the song has a comprehensiveness that surpasses that of ordinary soundboards. It is a masterpiece recording that is extremely neat and embodies the “beautiful sound that comes from the audience”. What is depicted with such beautiful sound is a full show that is different from “RUNNING ON EMPTY” and “LONG BEACH 1978”. Those who are interested in this article have probably already experienced “LONG BEACH 1978,” so let’s organize the sets while comparing them. ・JACKSON BROWNE (2 songs): Doctor, My Eyes/Rock Me On The Water ・FOR EVERYMAN (2 songs): I Thought I Was A Child (★)/For Everyman ・LATE FOR THE SKY (5 songs): Fountain of Sorrow/Before the Deluge/For A Dancer/Walking Slow (★)/The Late Show (★) ・THE PRETENDER (5 songs): The Fuse/Here Come Those Tears Again/Your Bright Baby Blues/Sleep’s Dark And Silent Gate ( ★) / The Pretender・RUNNING ON EMPTY (6 songs): Rosie / Cocaine / Nothing But Time / You Love the Thunder / Running on Empty / Love Needs A Heart ・Unreleased (1 song): Just Like Forever (★) * Note: Songs marked with “★” cannot be heard on “LONG BEACH 1978: Mike Millard 1st Generation Cassettes”. …and it looks like this. Unlike “LONG BEACH 1978”, it is a band style from the beginning, so it is less than a debut work. Instead, the repertoire of “LATE FOR THE SKY” and “THE PRETENDER” has increased, and he will even perform the unreleased song “Just Like Forever”. This is a beautiful live album that allows you to experience the heyday of Jackson Browne. Millard became a legend with his 100/100 accuracy, but even a nameless master recorder can leave behind a masterpiece that rivals just one work. This work is a simply wonderful piece of music, but at the same time it is a masterpiece that lets you enjoy the real thrill of audience recording.
