Technically this is 70's music, but whatever. I've been informed that there's no actual studio recording of Jackson Browne's Running On Empty, only live versions. Does anyone know if that's true, and does anyone have the mp3 of it?

I enjoy a good music quest, so I'll poke around and see if I can find anything Posted by xchazx (Member # 7158) on :
does anyone know if that is also the case with "i want you to want me"?

Thanks, I thought the version they used in Forrest Gump sounded like a clean studio version. And I believe they used that same version in the final episode of the sadly defunct tv show Swingtown! So I guess there is one outthere.

After looking around, I'd say no, there hasn't been anything but the live version released. They have remastered it and they sometimes cut off the first 30 seconds of crowd noise, but it seems to always be the same live performance from '77. This isn't a definitive answer by any means, just what I've found after doing some searching.

I came to the same conclusion. But if anyone has the mp3 of that. pm me, please.

Guys, you know I love you both as only a drunk can love an armchair, but at this moment I'm having to roll up my sleeve and give each of you a sharp slap in the face.
You were both hysterical. It was for your own good.
Now, back to the point; if you look at the post above, I clearly showed where the early versions of 'I Want You To Want Me' were to be found. But just to make things easy...
