Jackson Browne has written and performed some of the most literate and moving songs in popular music and has defined a genre of songwriting charged with honesty, emotion and personal politics. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004 and the Songwriter's Hall of Fame in 2007.
Except for a brief period in NYC in the late 1960s, Jackson has always lived in Southern California. His debut album came out on David Geffen's Asylum Records in 1972. Since then, he has released fourteen studio albums, four collections of live performances, two "best of" compilations, two DVDs and several single recordings. Jackson's newest studio album, "Downhill From Everywhere" was released in July 2021 and GRAMMY nominated for Best Americana Album.
Browne is known for his advocacy on behalf of the environment, human rights, and arts education. He's a co-founder of the groups Musicians United for Safe Energy (MUSE) and Nukefree.org and a member of the Ocean advocacy group, Ocean Elders.
In 2002, he was the fourth recipient of the John Steinbeck Award, given to artists whose works exemplify the environmental and social values that were essential to the great California-born author. He has received Duke University's LEAF award for Lifetime Environmental Achievement in the Fine Arts, and both the Chapin-World Hunger Year and NARM Harry Chapin Humanitarian Awards. In 2004, Jackson was given an honorary Doctorate of Music by Occidental College in Los Angeles, for "a remarkable musical career that has successfully combined an intensely personal artistry with a broader vision of social justice."

I saw Jackson at the Venetian hotel in Las Vegas. It is a beautiful theater, although it was difficult to find coming in the front of the hotel. Jackson had great musicians with him and his voice is still great. Loved the new and old songs. The audience was on their feet a lot. Great show!
We saw Jackson Browne in Las Vegas at the Venetian. The venue was lovely, no complaints there. We were disappointed that he did not play many familiar songs of his from the 70s. We did not recognize most of the playlist. Also, we did not appreciate the political comments made during the show. I would not recommend.
Great venue at the Venetian Theater. Jackson Browne still has a great voice and entertained for 2 straight hours.
Jackson Browne was on it. He played his classics and some new ones. His voice is still great after all these years. It was like being back 30 years ago. His beard really adds a new look that makes him look wise and humble. Loved the Warren Zevon tribute. The band was great as always.
Jackson Brown is my favorite singer/songwriter and I have heard him play live several times. Each time has been amazing and when I saw him at the Venetian, it was no different! Every single song was great! I can’t wait to see him again!
Have enjoyed Jackson Browne's music since the early 70's. My wife and I have been trying to see as many musicians/groups as possible that we grew up with while they are still playing so we were happy to see Jackson would be at the Venetian (excellent venue). First the good - he sounded as good as ever and the band was great, as was the sound. For the first hour or so he played songs that we had never heard before and they all seemed a bit down and depressing and repetitive. He made some political comments which to some can be alienating. Have never heard a crowd shouting out as much for an artist to play his hits, which seemed to take forever. Finally, he played Somebody's Baby which was upbeat and sounded great and the audience really responded. From there played the hits - Running on Empty, The Pretender, Doctor My Eyes, etc. I was sure for the encore he would end with The Load Out/Stay but he did not play that. All in all, it was great to see him but was not one of the better shows we have seen. PS - for some reason he did not utilize the video screens which would have been nice for us old folks who don't see as well as we used to.
Great concert. Jackson Brown was excellent. Drink price was exorbitant though. $55 for two small margaritas! This was crazy.
Jackson is still great. He has a good band and back- up singers. I do prefer to hear him sing, vs listening to the band member’s solos. I missed some of his oldies, but enjoyed all of his song choices. We’ll see him again, when he plays someplace we enjoy.
Jackson and his band were great. We sat in the first row and it was incredible! The Venetian is a great venue. Highly recommend.
He is 77 years old 98% of the audience is within 15 years of his age. They don’t want to hear new music (which all sounded the same) they want to hear the music they got old with. Play your past hits. The theater was standing and dancing to those.
The venue at the Venetian was great, really good sound. The concert itself felt a little hodgepodge. People from there audience shouted out song requests and he would switch up what he was going to play some not even his songs. Cool for being adaptable but uncool because they’d reset the instruments, etc. Also, he was playing all the “new” songs and to be honest, I didn’t go to the concert to hear those, I wanted to hear the hits. I also didn’t go to the concert to hear his political views, it’s on me that I didn’t know he was so opinionated but I want to pay money to hear music not to hear his views on politics. After an hour and about twenty minutes, we left. He probably got to the songs we wanted to hear but I’d had enough. Wouldn’t pay money to see him again.
Jackson Browne is so down to earth. His interactions with the audience is so delightful and engaging! His voice is still amazing! His band is outstanding! Loved the experience and can’t wait to see him again!
Would have rather had a full greatest hits concert, this was maybe half. Give the crowd what they came for. This happens with do many artists.
Jackson was in a very playful mood and I like that he took request yelled from the audience and it was fun that he did a Warren Zevon song🥰🥰❤️
I read recently that the Venetian theater had updated their sound system. You wouldn't know it based on how it was done on November 5th. I assume it was the fault of whoever was engineering the sound that night. The music, vocals in particular, were distorted. I think if they would have just reduced the volume slightly, it would have been fine. I spent hundreds of dollars on tickets, airfare and hotel to see a great performer diminished. I won't be back. Jackson Browne was awesome.
It’s hard to believe that Jackson has been a great singer for over 50 years ! I’ve heard him sing on a favorite radio station! Our seats were on the second row in the balcony.. his show at the Venetian was unique for us as locals. His sang with an incredible band and had 2 female singers too. His concert lasted 2 hours and as locals we had free parking for 3 hours. We were able to get to the parking garage within the time limit.He was truly a great singer , piano player .
We have seen Jackson many times and he never fails to deliver a great performance. He is very engaging with the audience. Many great hits.
This is the second time I have seen Jackson Browne in LV and loved both shows. The venue is also great.
No matter where Jackson Browne plays it's always a great time, great music! He never disappoints! As long as he keeps playing I'll go see him!
I was kind of disappointed he didn't play more of his most popular songs.
