I remember the very biased, conservative dolt Bernard Goldberg reporting on the No Nukes rally and trying to put a pro-nukes spin on it by saying that Jackson Browne's song "Running On Empty" was about "the gasoline crisis." The song has nothing to do with gasoline. It's about being emotionally spent.
How cool is this: It is now October 2011. People are occupying and reoccupying all over this country and parts of the world. More and more do not believe all the sheet the corporations try to sell us. We're holding the key.
What is that i feel on my cheek? its a tear drop! Why cant America be like this, especially now when we most need it! Thumbs up if you agree! :) PeAcE my brothers
21st century...yes,the banks will not stay on the 16 trillion,they will demand even the 63 trillion of the world,your rights,your peace,all will be vanished,you kids are there...prepare yourselves....there was no other decade in centuries more active than that one with the 6
it will be back....for the bad and for the good,9/11´s were just preludes....conspiracies and all,for so much dark reasons...We are timeless spirits in new bodies again,we live forever
I listen with my ears but do not hear it. I look with my eys and do not see it. I want to be wrong but I am not. Why don't they sing about love for your brothers and sisters anymore? "Come on people now, smile on your brother, try to love one another right now".
its fantastic that there are so many people together at one place to protest against the government and the song sounds so good when all the people is singing
@ 0:01 you can see the north tower of the world trade center & the uncompleted marriot hotel thats beside it. this is an old video since the concert is on an old landfill that now has the world financial centers on it. great video by the way!
Jesse Colin Young, Stephen Stills (in the tie), Jackson Browne, Graham Nash and John Hall, Russ Kunkle (drums), Leland Sklaar(bass), Nicolette Larsen and others
The live clips were all disappointing, the people singing along did a better job capturing the studio recording. This is one the nicest song messages to come from the era, and as a cry for Peace, ever more important in the modern age! C'mon Everybody, STOP THE HATE (wars everywhere need to cease)
The majority of the people and the government at the time wasn't really trying for peace/love either. What a shame, probably will never be another generation including the bands, that wanted true peace and love like the late 60's and early 70's. Today's music never talks about peace and love..just sex and money..anyone can have some of that..it's common ground, but few can bring everyone together and just want peace and true goodwill for all.
@skychurchify AMEN, now all they do is throw a HIPPY label on you, as they do to "tree-huggers" and all I do is feel sorry for them that they cannot grasp the concept! Human-Kind, Man-Kind....still only an expression
It certainly echoes warmly from a time when people were trying to promote the very best qualities of humanity. It's a pity humanity wasn't unanimous in its uptake.
looks like Jackson Browne, Steven Stills joining on stage. I wonder where and when this concert took place... I'm guessing early 80's but maybe a little later. Hair styles haven't changed too much in 30 years, except for the shaved bald look at I didn't see that anywhere.
@TheChivo777 Bastards or no, still humans, lost in all they know, that's wrong. Sadly, people are swayed to the bad more then the good. I have no idea why other then the concept of Satan and Evil trying to persuade people to the "dark side", eh? Sounds silly some times, but there's some reason for why it happens, chemical imbalance in the brain sounds like a good scientific reason
I'm going to write "No War" on the back of my car. There are many of us that feel the same way. We have been made scared by the threats of the corporate government, that any dissent will be rewarded with a label of terrorist, and that we will be whisked away. Who owns this place called earth? Don't be a pussy, stand up for your rights. Get up, stand up!
Why do some people have to justify their existence with hatred? For once try displaying some compassion for this Earth and God's creatures. The 60s may have been a pipe dream but, for many, it was a special time. Christ, stop the jealousy. Be part of the solution, not a part of the problem.

I believe this was No Nukes in Battery Park 1979 altho I don't see Springsteen. I was there. Afterwards flying back nonstop to SF, Jesse Colin Young was on the redeye and sang the song for us as his wife was putting baby to sleep in coach class.
i went to that no nukes concert on 9/23/79 over near what is now battery park city in lower manhattan....i was selling purple microdot and hanging out w/jerry rubin and it was on the 10th anniversary of the trial of the chicago 8

Yup, sure is. It's changing again though, more and more people are getting sick of still waiting for what was promised since the late 70s and especially in the 80s when they really fell for it, there was plenty of money for everyone willing to play along in those days.
@jx14aby yes lets have the tea party come and trample us in different ways. its one thing to hate someone's agenda its another to stand outside government buildings and call elected officials by racial slurs. the tea party or tea baggers as I refer to them as, are no better than the people they campaign against. if they get power you will all see what I mean. tea party sucks.
Elected officials were never called racial slurs. Video footage proves that. If you can prove otherwise, ignorant Libtard, you can collect $100,000 from Andrew Breitbart. So far, not one Leftist liar has claimed that money. I wonder why?
@coolltool It was also a time when men and women spat on soldiers and cops siced attack dogs on black people. Don't forget the 100s that died everyday in veitnam instead of the dozens that die everymonth. Don't forget the race riots in LA either. It's not all peace man.

@coolltool isn't that the truth though ? These days, most usually swallow a huge spoonfull of it with no questioning or hesitation. But some are NOT that gullable, and those are very few and far between. Some, however are starting to open their eyes a bit.
Love it, was just looking for a video for Get together, and here my favorite musician is also on here, Stephen Stills! Thanks so very much for posting it!
It's a No Nukes Concert from 1979. All star cast of performers included Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, Jackson Browne, Jessie Colin Young (of the Youngbloods), Bonnie Raitt, and many, many more.
ooops! I messed up on one of my sentences.just caught it! when i said that there isnt any songs out there today with true meaning like there is today i meant to say that there isnt any songs out there today with true meaning like there was back then . sorry for the error. its late!! I'm a bit tired.
This song is such a beautiful and meaningful song. There were alot of meaningful songs that came out in the 60's. They sang about the issues people were facing at that time. People united in songs to face the hard times. Where is the uniting today ? there just isnt the songs out there today with true meaning behind them like there is today. Take heed from this song " everybody get together,try to love one another right now." excellent message then and still applies today. Peace to everyone.
Oh yeah, these were bad times. You can just see the badness oozing. Maybe I'm unenlightened, but i dont see how people encouraging tolerance and protesting illegal government wars is bad. It strikes me as inspiring and democratic.
Maybe I wasn't clear enough. JFK assassination. Assassination of Martin Luther King. Assassination of Robert Kennedy. Vietnam War. Kent State shootings. Unchecked police brutality on protesters. The song reminds me of all those things and those were bad times. Does that clarify things for you?
Upfromunder, I'd agree with you that times are bad now too. But I was referring about how the video made me feel.
This video brings me back to around 1993 Graeagle CA., Jesse sang to a gathering of locals, maybe 100 people, his stage was on a green of a golf course. He had all the kids there come up on stage and sing it with him. I still get chills thinking about that evening. Jesse then stayed around and mingled, and shook hands with all of us. Great man!
Jackson Browne looks so youg, and yet so powerfull with the depth in his music.
So glad to see him with the Youngbloods....music today reflects the energy and aspirations of our youth....I really feel for the next generation....in times of sadness and injustice as the 60's and 70's presented themselves, the power of music brought forth hope for a better future...
This is a festival recording. No one with a brain expects it to sound like a studio recording. This video attempts to capture the spirit of that festival (which includes the vibe of having Steven Stills, Graham Nash, AND JACKSON BROWNE on stage). I saw the Youngbloods in 1970 in a gym and the version of Get Together was LIVE and obviously not as produced or clean as the studio version. Anyone who needs live music to mimic studio recordings should go back in time and hear the Monkees.
I like the original and this version too. In my opinion, this song is all about the chorus' uplifting melody and meaningful lyrics. This live version doesn't lose any feeling of the original, it's nice to mix it up a bit live sometimes and the crowd singing along is inspirational. Liked the Edison quote that one person left too.
As an artist myself, I have to totally disagree 100% with the two comments below. Why? It's called evolution or evolving into something greater than you were or are. Yes, some artists change things up because they are tired of playing the tune, but this is not the case here. The "lyrics" of this song are the true essence of what these artists were trying to relay to the masses, bottom line. "Try and love one another right now". Fairly simple
This song was written by none other than Dino Valente, a/k/a Chester Powers & many other aliases, of later Quicksilver Messenger Service fame. This song was/is played so much, it could have been Valente's meal ticket for life, but he had to sell the rights to the song--he was always getting busted for dope and spent time at Folsom. Valente was a pretty well known folk artist on the Greenich Village scene in the early 60's. Wrote many of Quicksilver's big hits using a fake name.
I prefer to hear the original version. They can experiment on their own time. The original usually contains most of the creativity. These new versions just say " I"m tired of playing this song the same way 3097 times" - not any kind of real creativity. Had this song been recorded in this version it probably would never have been a hit.
Suggestion: buy a record and you'll never be disappointed. This demand for pointless consistency with a studio recording is ruining the creativity and atmosphere of live performances and leads to singers delivering soul-less mimes to backing tracks whilst concentrating on more visual concerns rather than the music. To paraphase Thomas Edison '...needless consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds...'
And that is Jackson Browne, fresh off his "Let me Beat the Shit Out of Daryl Hannah" World Tour.
Fucker abused women. But when it comes to the Left, if you sing about peace and make lots of rotten comments about Ronald Reagan, you are forgiven all of your sins, including domestic violence.
gosh, you certainly seem to enjoy being an angry young man. why does anyone need "forgiving"? is someone on trial here? i'm sure jackson browne suffers plenty in his own mind for stupid things he's done. everyone is human, and does stupid, wrong things sometimes. there is no need to chastise a songwriter, just as there is no need to idolize anyone. finding peace is a difficult thing to do for all of us, but i think it's worth the trying. peace, friend.
Jackson Brown isn't in the Youngbloods...what happen to my American bros...once you get out of the country for awhile...you can get a birdseye view of "ignorance" on a mass scale...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Great song, but loaded down with leftist naivete at its worst...come together? Under who? Try to love one another right now? Ask the mullahs in Iran, or the Taliban, or the Palestinians, or the North Koreans, or Hugo Chavez, if they will "get together" and "love one another." Naiveté at its worst...and at a "No Nukes" concert no less! Yep, them North Koreans will be happy to get rid of their nukes.
You can't create anything through destruction; its also wrong to equate the message to politics; it's a-polictical. Violence begats violence; at least respect travellers who try to find a different way
great song, great audiance at the end they repeated com'n ppl now ... 3x solo and 3x with the band, great concert and as an addition Jackson Browne well I say everything about this video is great, love it
''come on people now, smile on your brother everybody get together try to love one another right now'' Kurt Cobain used this phrase to stat the song ''territorial pissing''
when and where was this show? it has to be very early 70's, but it's weird because it doesn't look old at all. maybe htere's a vibe going on there...that transcends time as we know it? nice.
I enjoyed this version of the song. "Get Together" encapsulated the spirit of the times perfectly, and if you weren't there don't rag on those of us who actually LIVED in the time and relate to the sentiment. And artists are free to change the way they perform a song, why insist on a note-for-note duplication of the album? JCY and the Youngbloods were perhaps not as dynamic live as some of the other great SF area bands but give 'em a break, eh? Have YOU ever written a song as nice as this? =;-)
Anyone know where these guys are from? When I was growing up in the SF bay area in the '60s, a neighbor's friend said she once dated a Youngblood. This girl would've been born oh around 1952, and lived in the bay area. Is this relationship possible?
This performance is just wonderful.....full of sunshine, breeze, artless and natural innocence, without all the manipulative hype of studio performance and video.
Yep, an artist or performer is bare naked without the electronic magic in the studio. He must perform with raw talent on stage. That is why I am very selected on who I see in concert and pay good money for. Most concerts today are $75-$100/seat I won't blow good money on lousy entertainers that have no talent or substance. Very few artists today I would pay to see. Live in concert separates the amateurs from the professionals. Before I see any concert, I check the reviews and YouTube !!
This song live does not even sound anything like the original studio version. Way off key and vocals sound terrible. The timing is also off. The studio track is incredible, as one of the greatest songs of the 60's. But I'm shocked and perplexed of all the live versions....they're just terrible in concert !!
I just realized that this song isn't very good. Corny sentiment and unremarkable lyrics, but no doubt full of nostalgia for the Clinton/Bush generation.
Hype - Opinions are like ani - everybody has one. In you case, it's possible that your anus is more functional than your opinion - but that's just my opinion, so you get the gist about opinions. That said, you are entitled to your opinion.
I remember seeing them at the Boys Club when I was 13 or 14...for maybe a dollar...with the Turtles, if my memory (becoming more laughable by the day) holds true. They were a blast. Still are.
I remember the very biased, conservative dolt Bernard Goldberg reporting on the No Nukes rally and trying to put a pro-nukes spin on it by saying that Jackson Browne's song "Running On Empty" was about "the gasoline crisis." The song has nothing to do with gasoline. It's about being emotionally spent.

@coolltool It was also a time when men and women spat on soldiers and cops siced attack dogs on black people. Don't forget the 100s that died everyday in veitnam instead of the dozens that die everymonth. Don't forget the race riots in LA either. It's not all peace man.

We cannot, to save our democracy, rid ourselves of them as of yet, though we struggle against their tyrrany constantly. Thank you all countries for your support of a more Democratic America! And for realizing we are not all like them and mongering wars. Only with proper Education it may yet oneday come.

This song is such a beautiful and meaningful song. There were alot of meaningful songs that came out in the 60's. They sang about the issues people were facing at that time. People united in songs to face the hard times. Where is the uniting today ? there just isnt the songs out there today with true meaning behind them like there is today. Take heed from this song " everybody get together,try to love one another right now." excellent message then and still applies today. Peace to everyone.

This video brings me back to around 1993 Graeagle CA., Jesse sang to a gathering of locals, maybe 100 people, his stage was on a green of a golf course. He had all the kids there come up on stage and sing it with him. I still get chills thinking about that evening. Jesse then stayed around and mingled, and shook hands with all of us. Great man!

Jackson Browne looks so youg, and yet so powerfull with the depth in his music.
So glad to see him with the Youngbloods....music today reflects the energy and aspirations of our youth....I really feel for the next generation....in times of sadness and injustice as the 60's and 70's presented themselves, the power of music brought forth hope for a better future...
swedefinn101 2 years ago
This is a festival recording. No one with a brain expects it to sound like a studio recording. This video attempts to capture the spirit of that festival (which includes the vibe of having Steven Stills, Graham Nash, AND JACKSON BROWNE on stage). I saw the Youngbloods in 1970 in a gym and the version of Get Together was LIVE and obviously not as produced or clean as the studio version. Anyone who needs live music to mimic studio recordings should go back in time and hear the Monkees.
sugarhollowdaddy 2 years ago
I like the original and this version too. In my opinion, this song is all about the chorus' uplifting melody and meaningful lyrics. This live version doesn't lose any feeling of the original, it's nice to mix it up a bit live sometimes and the crowd singing along is inspirational. Liked the Edison quote that one person left too.

As an artist myself, I have to totally disagree 100% with the two comments below. Why? It's called evolution or evolving into something greater than you were or are. Yes, some artists change things up because they are tired of playing the tune, but this is not the case here. The "lyrics" of this song are the true essence of what these artists were trying to relay to the masses, bottom line. "Try and love one another right now". Fairly simple
JLeeHaven 2 years ago
This song was written by none other than Dino Valente, a/k/a Chester Powers & many other aliases, of later Quicksilver Messenger Service fame. This song was/is played so much, it could have been Valente's meal ticket for life, but he had to sell the rights to the song--he was always getting busted for dope and spent time at Folsom. Valente was a pretty well known folk artist on the Greenich Village scene in the early 60's. Wrote many of Quicksilver's big hits using a fake name.

I prefer to hear the original version. They can experiment on their own time. The original usually contains most of the creativity. These new versions just say " I"m tired of playing this song the same way 3097 times" - not any kind of real creativity. Had this song been recorded in this version it probably would never have been a hit.

Chthon128 2 years ago
Suggestion: buy a record and you'll never be disappointed. This demand for pointless consistency with a studio recording is ruining the creativity and atmosphere of live performances and leads to singers delivering soul-less mimes to backing tracks whilst concentrating on more visual concerns rather than the music. To paraphase Thomas Edison '...needless consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds...'

gosh, you certainly seem to enjoy being an angry young man. why does anyone need "forgiving"? is someone on trial here? i'm sure jackson browne suffers plenty in his own mind for stupid things he's done. everyone is human, and does stupid, wrong things sometimes. there is no need to chastise a songwriter, just as there is no need to idolize anyone. finding peace is a difficult thing to do for all of us, but i think it's worth the trying. peace, friend.

Great song, but loaded down with leftist naivete at its worst...come together? Under who? Try to love one another right now? Ask the mullahs in Iran, or the Taliban, or the Palestinians, or the North Koreans, or Hugo Chavez, if they will "get together" and "love one another." Naiveté at its worst...and at a "No Nukes" concert no less! Yep, them North Koreans will be happy to get rid of their nukes.

I enjoyed this version of the song. "Get Together" encapsulated the spirit of the times perfectly, and if you weren't there don't rag on those of us who actually LIVED in the time and relate to the sentiment. And artists are free to change the way they perform a song, why insist on a note-for-note duplication of the album? JCY and the Youngbloods were perhaps not as dynamic live as some of the other great SF area bands but give 'em a break, eh? Have YOU ever written a song as nice as this? =;-)

Yep, an artist or performer is bare naked without the electronic magic in the studio. He must perform with raw talent on stage. That is why I am very selected on who I see in concert and pay good money for. Most concerts today are $75-$100/seat I won't blow good money on lousy entertainers that have no talent or substance. Very few artists today I would pay to see. Live in concert separates the amateurs from the professionals. Before I see any concert, I check the reviews and YouTube !!

This song live does not even sound anything like the original studio version. Way off key and vocals sound terrible. The timing is also off.
