\"\"James Taylor and Jackson Browne are two of the major icons in the history of rock music. Both artists, in their 73rd<\/sup> Year, are still actively touring the United States. For the current concert tour, they have combined forces to present the James Taylor All-Star Band with Special Guest Jackson Browne Tour. <\/i>The tour, which encompasses both the United States and Canada, performed to a very responsive crowd in Boise on Saturday, October 23. To say this was one of the most amazing concerts I have seen in several years is still not doing it justice; and the ExtraMile Arena stepped up to the plate to do a great job on the sound, lighting, effects and changes required for this concert\/event. <\/span><\/p>\n

James Taylor and Jackson Browne both commented how good they felt that so many of their fans kept their tickets from the rescheduled concert dates that were cancelled due to the pandemic. Both artists also talked about Boise, with Jackson Browne sharing that he had \u201cseveral desirable Boise stories, but can\u2019t tell them now\u201d. James Taylor mentioned Boise several times, commenting that \u201cBoise\u2019s audience was so much better than [I\u2019m not naming the city–Ed] the major city earlier on the tour\u201d. It was clear the audience at the ExtraMile Arena loved the show, giving both James Taylor and Jackson Browne several standing ovations. The flashlight wavers<\/i> were in good attendance also, lighting up both the floor and balcony seats with a joyous waving of the lights. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"JacksonJackson Browne opened the show with a great rendition of Somebody\u2019s Baby<\/i>. This song was probably his most famous song to those who were not already fans, due to its inclusion in the classic \u201880s movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High<\/i>.This was a good start for Jackson Browne, who really connected with the audience. He told a story for every song; and even entered into a friendly rapport with some of the fans, one who kept requesting a song from one of the front rows he answered back. \u201cOk. You start it and I\u2019ll join in\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s immediately apparent that Jackson Browne\u2019s voice is still impeccable. <\/span>His songs are still creations of beauty, whether they are slow ballads or raucous<\/span> rockers. Those<\/span> songs too can usually stand alone as poetry, <\/span>as shown in his second song, <\/span>The Barricades of Heaven<\/i><\/span>. Telling a story of a musician growing up too fast and too young, it shares insights into what Jackson\u2019s life was, playing at popular and singing with other talented performers when he was still in his teens<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019s maintained his own style, stepping into other musical styles occasionally while remaining true to his roots. <\/span>In a more recent song, <\/span>The Long Way Around<\/i><\/span>, Jackson dipped into Americana to weave <\/span>a social commentary on the recent problems Amer<\/span>ica has faced in this last decade. <\/span>He might have traded in his trademark long black hair for a shorter gray style and a neatly trimmed beard; but you could tell he\u2019s still got the range of his voice and the fire in his belly when it comes to<\/span>remaining a social activist and supporting many of them by his<\/span> songs.<\/span><\/p>\n

O<\/span>ne of the things that Jackson Browne has always been known for is his writing. His songs have been performed or covered by many of the top artists in music. His next song, <\/span>Fountain of Sorrow<\/i><\/span>, was no different, becoming a key moment of Joan Baez\u2019s <\/span>Diamonds and Rust<\/i><\/span> album. <\/span>His version at the ExtraMile Arena was still fresh and moving, 47 years after he wrote it. <\/span><\/p>\n

The next song, <\/span>Downhill From Everywhere<\/i><\/span>, offered a counterpoint to the longevity of <\/span>Fountain of Sorrow<\/i><\/span>. <\/span>Mauricio Litwak<\/span>\u2019s drums on this and many of Jackson\u2019s other songs show that great bands can still rock with new tunes. <\/span>The title track <\/span>of his new album <\/span>Downhill From Everywhere, <\/i><\/span>it was followed up by a second track from the album,<\/span> The Dreamer. <\/i><\/span>The Dreamer is an<\/i><\/span> ode to the struggles<\/span> <\/i>of the Latin American immigrants.<\/span> <\/i>B<\/span>eautiful backing vocals from lon<\/span>gtime singer Aletha Mills and <\/span>recent addition Tiffanie Cross <\/span>put a marvelous Latin quality into the song. <\/span><\/p>\n

J<\/span>ackson Browne and James Taylor have both been socially conscious artists; and no where is it more apparent than in <\/span>And Justice For All<\/i><\/span>, another new song from <\/span>Jackson Browne\u2019s recent<\/span> album <\/span>Downhill from Everywhere<\/i><\/span>. <\/span>His line in the tune \u201c<\/span>Time Like A Fuse Getting Shorter Every Day\u201d <\/i><\/span>pretty much sums up his feeling about where we are going and what there is that we need to do. <\/span><\/p>\n

Going back to 1972 and the debut album simply titled <\/span>Jackson Browne<\/i><\/span><\/a>, Jackson\u2019s first <\/span>album contained his earliest hit song, <\/span>Doctor My <\/i><\/span>E<\/i><\/span>yes<\/i><\/span>.<\/span> Written when he was 24, the song looked at a past life lived and hardships endured, with the result that he could no longer feel anything. Heady material indeed for a young man to write, but this song moved many who enjoyed not only the upbeat tune but also those who marveled at the perspective of the arguably <\/span>disheartening lyrics. <\/span>Doctor My Eyes<\/i><\/span>, performed at the ExtraMile Arena<\/a>, was a tribute to Jackson Browne as a survivor of the times and the poignant view of life, still relevant to him—and his audience—as they have grown. <\/span><\/p>\n

For A Dancer<\/i><\/span> is a sad song too, but one that was written upon the death of a close friend in 1974. <\/span>Included in 1974\u2019s <\/span>Late To The Sky<\/i><\/span> album, it was a very personal song for Jackson Browne. Played at the memorials for close friend John Belushi and later performed by Jackson himself at his friend Phil Hartman\u2019s memorial, <\/span>he even dedicated it at one show to<\/span> “the people that lost their lives in Orlando ~ and for their families and for their friends…for our whole country”. <\/span><\/span><\/span>Jackson\u2019s version Saturday night <\/span>spoke to his fans in Boise, bringing many to tears. Just two days before the shooting at the Boise Towne Centre Mall, this song speaks to everyone of the fragility of life. <\/span><\/p>\n

James Taylor and Jackson Browne united for the final two songs of the set. First, they did the title track from <\/span>one of Jackson Browne\u2019s most popular albums, <\/span>The Pretender<\/i><\/span>. <\/span>James Taylor traded some of the leads with Jackson; and when they combined their singing, the harmonies were excellent. The way they have handled the tour, sometimes it seems more like a giant family rather than just a tour. <\/span><\/p>\n

One thing that was impressive is that both men not only introduced each band member, but that they took the time to walk over, shake their hand and tell a bit about them. This speaks a lot about both James Taylor and Jackson Browne. Overhearing conversations around during the show, that is one of the things people were talking about <\/span>was \u201c<\/span>how nice it was to hear about their fellow musicians and singers\u201d and \u201cget to know them\u201d. Their last song of the opening set was a duo on <\/span>Running On Empty<\/i><\/span>. <\/span>This song, one of Jackson\u2019s most popular, serves as both an autobiographical piece (as many of his songs are) and a kick-ass rocker. <\/span><\/p>\n

Watching the set change during the intermission, it was both amazing to see how fast but professional the changes were (kudos to both Jackson and James\u2019 roadies and ExtraMileArena\u2019s stage crew). <\/span>It was equally impressive to see the huge tree and the hanging and moving lights plus the cloth from floor to the top of the set that turned into a screen for a video that was projected as a way of introduction and a brief show of others talking how James Taylor has influenced them. After a brief chat about how grateful he was that so many had kept their tickets from previously canceled date<\/span>s, the set transformed into lights flitting up and down, the tree dominating the right-hand side of the stage and a large projection of a tree-lined country road as he led the band into one of his signature songs, <\/span>Country Road<\/i><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"JamesFrom there, James Taylor told some stories; at times it really did seem like he was sitting in a living room talking to each member of the audience, just sitting across from him. He introduced <\/span>Copperline<\/i><\/span>, <\/span>a song about his childhood and a visit back to <\/span>Copp<\/i><\/span>er<\/i><\/span>line<\/i><\/span>, where he grew up. <\/span>He also talked about what it was to finally be back on the road again, <\/span>As many including Mr. Taylor have found out, sometimes \u201cyou can\u2019t go back\u201d. <\/span>One area where James Taylor doesn\u2019t need to go back is his voice; still smooth yet powerful, the same silky tonal quality that has made him a joy to listen to since he first became known as a singer. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"James<\/p>\n

M<\/span>any more songs were introduced. <\/span>That\u2019s Why I\u2019m Here<\/i><\/span>, another album title track, was a very personal song for James Taylor. As he introduced it, he told the crowd it was dedicated to anyone in the room that was in Recovery <\/span>(AA, NA and any other path to sober living)<\/span>. He told a bit about the song, inspired by the death of his friend John Belushi, an act which \u201cscared him sober\u201d. <\/span>In it, he delved into the other aspect of his life, <\/span>p<\/span>laying songs that his audience wants, many of them the same songs night after night. <\/span>And it talks about how he is at peace for what his life is now. The audience really reacted to this song, as one of many that James Taylor has written over the years that really speak to people about their lives. <\/span><\/p>\n

The atmosphere took a turn as he introduced <\/span>Mexico<\/i><\/span>, a good example of his wonderful writing that has been covered by other artists; in the case of <\/span>Mexico<\/i><\/span>, a perennial favorite at Jimmy Buffet\u2019s concerts now. This definitely got the audience into some dancing in their seats. <\/span>Steve Gadd did an amazing job on the drums on this and the other songs\u2014it\u2019s readily apparent why he\u2019s been rated as one of the top drummers for so many years.<\/span><\/p>\n

Steamroller Blues<\/i><\/span> gave the band and James Taylor a chance to open up and show their expertise at the blues. Lou Marini, who played in the original Blues Brothers Band, gave out a high-intensity sax solo on this song. The trumpet solo was announced by James at the end of the song to be played by Walt Fowler from Boise<\/a>. This got a marvelous round of applause from the fans. A cute little song followed that James had found, <\/span>Catnip College<\/i><\/span> from a 1927 <\/span>Merrie Melodies\u00a0<\/i><\/span>cartoon. The fans roared as the band played the tune while watching the original cartoon on the main screens. <\/span><\/p>\n

M<\/span>ore of James Taylor\u2019s fan Favorites followed; <\/span>Sweet Baby James, Carolina on my Mind <\/i><\/span>(where he introduced all the singers including his youngest son Henry Taylor) and <\/span>How Sweet it Is<\/i><\/span>. Jackson Browne returned to the stage for a few of the encores, starting with an awesome version of <\/span>Take It Easy<\/i><\/span>, the song written by Jackson Browne and Glenn Frey of the Eagles, appearing on one of Jackson Browne\u2019s albums and as a single in 1972 but becoming a monster hit for the Eagles and praised as one of the <\/span>Rock and Roll Hall of Fame\u2019s 500 Songs That Shaped Rock<\/i><\/span>. Jackson Browne\u2019s voice meshes perfectly with James Taylor, their harmonies and changing of the lead singing on the song providing an awesome chance to hear this tune. <\/span><\/p>\n

The encores continued, with the flashlight waving contingent lighting up the whole ExtraMile Arena. After praising that Boise was a much better audience than his las shows to thunderous applause, James Taylor launched into the perennial favorite, <\/span>You\u2019ve got a Friend<\/i><\/span>. He told about how his friend Carole King gave him the song. You could see thousands of couples and even groups with arms around each other, rocking side to side with this song. <\/span>Fire and Rain<\/i><\/span> elicited a similar response.<\/span><\/p>\n

The show closed with a beautiful version of <\/span>Close Your Eyes<\/i><\/span>, performed as a duet with James and his younger son Henry performing on guitars and vocals. This performed a wonderful capper to the evening, with fans walking down the Arena steps talking about how much of a wonderful show it was. Indeed, the performance by James Taylor and Jackson Browne had invigorated the audience, bringing a sense of community back to Boise. James Taylor and Jackson Browne were the perfect way to not only give the audience a great show, but bring a spirit of hope to the fans in Boise that life and music were again bringing people together.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether he's looking for the best ceviche in Colombia, the best poke in Hawaii, the best tequila in Jalisco or the best Taiwanese Beef Roll in Los Angeles and Banh Mi in Ho Chi Minh City; it's all good food! He also loves a good drink. He's had Mai Tais in Hawaii, Bourbon in Kentucky, Tequila in Mexico and Rum in Jamaica. His wine escapades have taken him to Napa, Sonoma, the Willamette Valley and Idaho's Sunnyslope wine Trail. And he's had beer all over the world! Music is another of Ed's passions, writing and interviewing many classic rock, rock and blues musicians. Getting the great stories of road experiences from them is a particular delight. Traveling also fits in with Ed's writing, exploring all over to find the most interesting places to visit, even in out of the way areas. Ed lives in Boise and is searching for the best finger steaks in town.","url":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/author\/edsails\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4927","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4927"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4927\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4954,"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4927\/revisions\/4954"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4927"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4927"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4927"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
