<Tr> <Td> "Nothing but Time" (8) </Td> <Td> "The Load - Out" (9) </Td> <Td> "Stay" (10) </Td> </Tr> <P> "The Load - Out" is a song co-written and performed live by Jackson Browne from his 1977 album Running on Empty . It is a tribute to his roadies and fans . The song was recorded live at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland on August 27, 1977, as part of the tour in support of the album The Pretender . </P> <P> "The Load - Out" describes the daily practices of a band and its road crew on a concert tour, and the emotions evoked throughout such an endeavor . The first three verses of the song consist of Browne singing and playing piano with David Lindley playing steel guitar . They are later joined by a synthesizer, followed by the rest of the band . Eventually "The Load - Out" segues into an interpretation of Maurice Williams' 1960 hit "Stay," sung by Browne, Rosemary Butler, and Lindley . It is Lindley who sings the falsetto . </P> <P> Many radio stations played "The Load - Out" and "Stay" together as a medley, and, although it wasn't released as a single to the public initially ("Rosie" was the original B - side to "Stay"), "The Load - Out" charted as a tag - along to "Stay" on the Billboard Hot 100 singles charts, based on airplay . "Stay" debuted on the Hot 100 on June 10, 1978 as a sole A-side, but was listed along with "The Load - Out" on the chart beginning with the August 5, 1978 chart for eight weeks, both showing a peak at #20 . "Stay" stayed on the Hot 100 for a total of fifteen weeks . </P>
