WTF, Jackson Browne, WTF?

This is the second concert I have attended where you played every song from your new album, but didn't bother to play your most popular and best-loved song ever, The Load Out/Stay. I know I'm not the only one disgrunted about this; the guy behind me kept hollering for you to "PLAY STAY" in a tone suggesting he was at the last concert you played in the Dallas area where you didn't play it. Perhaps last time I can understand it - you opened for Tom Petty and had a limited amount of time - maybe you didn't want to spend 10 minutes of your limited time on 1 song. But THIS time? No excuse! Do I have to google "why doesn't Jackson Browne play Stay at concerts anymore?" or what???

It was called the 'Time The Conqueror' tour, not a greatest hits tour. Surely you'd expect new songs to played at such an event. Playing new material on an album tour is hardly a recent phenomenon, or indeed one exclusive to Jackson Browne.

I'd also suggest that 'Take it Easy' or 'Running on Empty' are probably his most favourite songs.
