I've been listening to 'Doctor My Eyes' since I was 16, but I didn't know who sang it, just that it is one of my favorite songs. Now I'm 19, and I finally find out about Jackson Brown. Mr. Brown, you're made me a fan until the end of my days.
I just finished watching some Soundgarden and now I'm peeping Jackson Browne. I swear this song brings tears to my eyes. "Doctor, my eyes cannot see the skies! Is this the price for having learned how not to cry?" I'm telling you, Shakespeare could not have put it any better.
I've seen Jackson Browne 15-20 times. He is one of the greatest rock and rollers ever. I wouldn't say he's "polished." He gives up his heart and soul every night.
The beauty of Jackson is that he is always evolving. From the early 70's to getting arrested with him at Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant in the early eighties( Abalone alliance). The 90's amd 2000's showed him off as a polished musician that still has a voice for the people. And still after almost 40 years I see this song and am still moved...............One of a kind.......Peace
these aren't even my favorite song of his- yet I'm impressed! Jackson's music is always amazing though, and his performances are wonderful because you can tell he believes in what he sings
I love Jackson. This song about the environment makes so much sense since I am older.. "it's later than it seems... I hear them cry, just saying it's too late for me"...
OMG!!! Mr. Browne is a POET and MUSICAL GENIUS of the highest quality. Just look a the longevity..30+ yrs..and I've been there for every one, even this one, but unfortunately he'd caught a cold before NOKIA in Grand Prairie, so we didn't get the full effects from Jackson himself :< . But the backup ladies were a big hit.....Of course, it had it's political moments, but after a good roll of the eyes it's time for another hit, so just hang on for more rock history.
.. what i am trying to say is this: ISN'T HE JUST GORGEOUS??? .. yes, he is! he's better looking now than when i first knew of him back in the 70's!!! .. WOWEEEE! ........ suz.
That's funny, I watch this over and over agin because of the stunning, electrifying performance of the two girl singers from 5:00 onwards - I'm obviously coming at this all wrong. Maybe I should start watching American idol.
OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS JOHN!!! I am sitting here STUNNDED!! You talk about POLISHED PROFESSIONALS!! We have been to a lot of great concerts together and have seen a lot of great bands - including Jackson and his crew - but this performance is off the charts!! Thanks for posting!! I'm going to watch it again right now. PEACE
Unbelievable performance. Chavonne, Alethea, and Mark just rocked it. The show in Oakland was fantastic, and this tune blew the doors right off. There'd better be a DVD coming from this tour because Jackson and the band were amazing.
cause I have wandered through this world And as each moment has unfurled Ive been waiting to awaken from these dreams People go just where there will I never noticed them until I got this feeling That its later than it seems Doctor, my eyes Tell me what you see I hear their cries Just say if its too late for me Doctor, my eyes Cannot see the sky Is this the prize for having learned how not to cry
Thank you for posting this! Here in NYC they didn't air this episode until 12:30 a.m. on Monday (early, early) morning. So, this is my chance to see it.

The first time I heard this song, was April 1972. I was 16 years old in the hospital recovering from a broken femur.

this rendition really hits a sweet melancholy note;he,s remained right up there since early 70,s and he,s pure unpretentious class..par excellence.

Here we go..
Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears without crying
Now I want to understand
I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hiding
You must help me if you can
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long
