Browne & Taylor Shower The People Of Syracuse With Music |
|---|
 8/22/2021 - Syracuse, New York - Today, we headed East down the NYS Thruway to St. Joseph's Health Amphitheater at Lakeview in Syracuse, New York to take in a double dose of classic rock music watching Jackson Browne and James Taylor perform together. Deb the contest queen won free tickets that were on the lawn but since the forecast called for potentially heavy rain we decided to upgrade selling the lawn seats and getting tickets on the tenth row, a smart but costly move. The NYS Fair was happening so we decided to go up early and partake in some food and fun at the fair which is right next to the venue. After a bite there we took the five minute drive up the hill to the concert. Huge lines had formed and nobody knew where to go we managed to get into the show with plenty of time. The unrecognizable Jackson Browne opened the show playing a good set that included some new material and some classic hits like Doctor My Eyes and Rock Me On The Water. Browne was joined for his last two songs by James Taylor to cover his hits The Pretender and Running On Empty. James Taylor and his All-Star Band soon followed and played a great set. The band included great musicians such as Rochester's own Steve Gadd on drums, Blue Lou Marini from the Blues Brothers, Jim Cox from Mark Knopfler's band and Taylor's son Henry on vocals. He opened with Country Road and played classic hits like Fire and Rain, Shower The People and closed the set with How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You). For the encore he played four songs and was rejoined by Jackson Browne for a cover of the Eagle's song he co-wrote with Glenn Frey Take It Easy and he also accompanied on You've Got A Friend. An excellent show.Slideshow | |
