  • Takin' the Family to Jackson Browne

    Share Zagsblog Share Zagsblog

    While I was in the press room at the Final Four in Detroit back in April my wife Jen called to say she and my daughter Gracie had gone out and bought tickets to see Jackson Browne at the Prospect Park Bandshell in July.

    They knew I was a big Jackson Browne fan and my 4-year-old daughter was fired up.

    So come the night of the Big Event and Gracie passes out in her stroller on the way to the show, but our 15-month-old, James Jefferson Airplane Zagoria, was the star of the show.

    He was walking up and down the aisle about 15 rows off the stage rockin’ out, making friends left and right.

    We got there just in time for the 7:30 tip, and Jackson looked about the same as always. He shaved that grey beard he’s sporting on the cover of his new album, “Time The Conqueror.”

    Place was packed, I’m guessin 5-6,000. The rain stopped and the mood was great. Jackson called Brooklyn the Santa Monica of the East.

    Highlights included “Jamaica Say You Will,” “Doctor My Eyes,” “Runnin’ on Empty,” “The Pretender,” “Take It Easy” and “Stay.”

    A great family night with the wife and both kids, even if GRacie slept through it all…

    Grace and James have now seen Springsteen and Jackson Browne this summer…not bad for a couple of munchkins.

    Setlist:

    I’m Alive
    The Barricades of Heaven
    I’ll Do Anything
    Fountain of Sorrow
    Time the Conqueror
    Off of Wonderland
    In The Shape Of A Heart

    The Naked Ride Home
