I'll Do Anything: Live In Concert

He's Alive!
I recall an interview with Jackson (this was in the nineties) in which he says that touring becomes easier the longer you do it. He likened it to an old man playing racketball against a much younger man: the young guy flying around, slamming into walls trying to make impossible shots while the old guy, even though he seems to be barely moving, keeps winning because all of the various angles and trajectories are so ingrained. So it is with this performance captured last November in Denver, and originally broadcast on Axs. A beautifully lit stage covered with huge area rugs create a living room atmosphere, and from the moment he steps out, Jackson becomes the welcoming host, taking requests, bantering with the sold-out arena as if everyone there are friends he's known for decades; and in a very real sense he has, just as they've known him.

Jackson Browne is an intimate singer song writer, always is and always has been. Did he write some Incredibly Great Hits? You bet he did! But that alone does not define him. He is a much more complex artist than a "Hit Making" Rock & Roll Star. This dvd is a good example of the intimate side of him and his music(sometimes allowing the...

Love it
I saw this concert in late 2012, and it was fabulous. This disc really captures the high points. I'm a long time fan and I was very pleased with the song selection, the video and the audio on the Blu-ray Disc.
