Jackson Browne - BBC Sessions, Volume 5: In Concert, Glastonbury Festival, Worthy Farm, Pilton, Britain, 6-26-2010

Here is the fifth, and probably last, BBC album by Jackson Browne that I plan on posting. I say "probably" because I keep finding ones that I'd missed, and Browne has played so many thousands of concerts that he's the type where some things could get missed.

This concert is from the annual, massive Glastonbury Festival. The BBC broadcasts a great amount of material from Glastonbury most every year, but not everything. In this case, it's clear that this isn't the full show, but was edited down to an hour-long time slot. I found at least one other song on YouTube Browne did that wasn't included. (I didn't include it either, due to poor sound quality.) Normally, some missing songs isn't that big of a deal, but it's very likely that nearly all of the between-song banter was edited out too, and that's more of a bummer since that's a big part of his concerts.

But at least what we have here sounds great, despite being officially unreleased. I didn't have to make any audio edits. You can find the full video of this on YouTube (with the same edits).

At the time of the concert, Browne didn't really have a new studio album to support. His most recent one, "Time the Conqueror," came out in 2008. Only one song from that was included here, "Off to Wonderland." But probably more were played but got cut by the BBC.

By the way, Browne played the Glastonbury Festival once before, in 1982 (as he commented in the one bit of banter that didn't get edited out). But that was before Glastonbury sets started to get played often on the BBC, so I don't have a good recording of that. (From what I can figure out, that started in 1985, but was still intermittent until the 1990s.)

This album is an hour and three minutes long.
