'These Days' Jackson Browne, Dawes & Jonathan Wilson @ The Borderline 20/7/11

"These Days" - Jackson Browne, Dawes & Jonathan Wilson playing the Borderline London 20/7/2011

A truly wonderful evening of music, already in such a short space of time this show has become legendary. Dawes an awesomely talented young rock band from LA totally blew us all away. The quality of their playing was superb, all of them, No wonder Jackson is promoting such a band because he believes in them, simply excellent. I've been going to shows for many years now & they are up there with the best!
Jackson seemed totally at ease & enjoying every second of it. I have to say I'm a huge JB fan & have seen him live numerous times over the years, ever since the release of the Pretender album/ tour, I think that was back in 1976.
Although Jackson only played half a dozen or so songs on this particular evening, it was the most enjoyable of all the shows I've ever seen him! I'm not sure if that was down to the venue being much more intimate than a regular concert hall, or the raw energy & talent of Dawes & Jonathan Wilson simply engulfing & energising the audience, whatever it was, it certainly was special!

At the end of show, a friend standing next to me said, 'how good was that, you could die now & go to heaven with a smile on your face' I simply replied... 'I'm already there', truly wonderful stuff... this is one show that I, and I'd imagine anyone else who was lucky enough to be there on the night, will not forget for a very long time!
I hope this video conveys just a little of the amazing atmosphere on the evening, particularly for the folk that weren't there on the night & a rekindling for those that were.

Cheers, Enjoy!

Man it doesn't get much better than this. Two generations of So. Cal singer/song writers pulling it all together in a song written for Dwayne Allman.....
