"The Load Out/Stay" is a live recording of a song by Jackson Browne from his 1976 Album Running on Empty. It is a tribute to the road.[citation needed] The song leads into a version of Maurice Williams's song "Stay, with revised lyrics.
"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 3:35 minutes of the song consists of Browne singing and playing piano with David Lindley playing slide guitar, at which point he is joined by synth, followed by the rest of his band. Eventually "The Load-Out" morphs into "Stay." At the conclusion of the song, guitarist David Lindley sings a verse from "Stay".
Many radio stations play the full length version, which is 9:33, being as they are of a thematic unity.
