LIVE: Jackson Browne @ the Palace Theatre, 8/14/14

One guy…
One baby grand piano…
One massive display of nearly two dozen guitars…
And two sprawling solo sets that spanned nearly two-and-a-half hours…

It’s one thing to keep your options open, as Jackson Browne did as he glided through a concert at the Palace Theatre in Albany last week – especially a solo show, where he was free to radically alter his set list on a whim – or the crowd’s demand… and the crowd was mighty demanding, yelling out requests at every opportunity.

And it’s another thing altogether to just show off your collection of guitars. Of course, we’re guessing that the line of 23 guitars that he displayed behind him on the stage was only a fraction of Mr. Browne’s collection.
