This document is clearly a work-in-progress. Jackson Browne's performing career from the mid 60s through to 1996 has never been documented in any great detail and there are a number of valid reasons for this.His tours in the early and mid 70s were low-key, often at comparatively obscure venues and rarely publicised other than at a local level; unlike many other major artists there was no concerted effort on the part of fans to record his shows and so the available recordings, audience or radio, are limited in the extreme.
These pages are an attempt to present a list all known performances together with set lists where available. Information comes from many sources and a proportion of it remains unconfirmed. Magazines that published itineraries together with newspaper ads and posters etc have been referenced but it is obvious that these are not always completely accurate. The earliest performances will probably never be chronicled completely and there are many gaps at the beginning. Anecdotal evidence has been incorporated but this can be misleading as memories fade and data is easily transposed. It is possible that some older set lists are incorrect as, on occasion, evidence conflicts. An attempt has been made to compile details of the musicians who accompanied Jackson but this is clearly complicated and help would be appreciated. It may be of interest to some readers to know which shows were solo and this information would be welcome. Although many of these dates remain unconfirmed specific unknown information is highlighted.
If you have anything - ticket stub, review, radio broadcast, newspaper ad etc. - that verifies or disproves a date, or adds a new show please feel free to email petel99@tiscali.co.uk . Contributions will be credited.

In an attempt at standardisation I have adopted many of the conventions used by Simon Montgomery in his Joni Mitchell Chronology. Information regarding Jackson Browne's concerts from 1996 onwards may be found at Russ Paris's site here. which also contains details of earlier shows although there are no set lists available. Jackson's own website may be accessed here.
