OK so I'll be 80 in a month's time, and my early musical influences were Stan Kenton, Woody Herman, Billy May, Ella, Frank and so on. So why do I like Joe Walsh? Well firstly he's a musician and bloody good at what he does, Secondly when he 's backing that's what he does, but when he's featured he owns the stage, he leads the other musicians and gets the best from them. Last of all he is enjoying himself and that's infectious. So it's just a pleasure to hear him and watch him. Nuff said!
Lou, I saw Woody Herman open for Led Zeppelin at the Fillmore East on 5/30/69 in NYC.......what a show he put on ....at this point in life I`d rather listen to Woody`s Thundering Herd than zeppelin,peace...pj
Well said. He’s humble. He doesn’t have to be front and center. Like you said, when he’s backing, he’s comfortable enough in his own skin to fade back and let someone else take the spotlight while he provides a solid foundation for them. He doesn’t overplay either. He knows how to let a lead breathe when it needs to. If you listen back to the old James Gang stuff the musicianship from those guys is just amazing. The base is intricate, the drums are solid and complicated, and his rhythm and lead impeccable. He’s truly a guitarist’s guitarist.
@@peterjohnson617 @Lou Juggins I know this is an old thread, but I was raised on Stan Kenton. My dad was not a professional musician, but was a bass (vile) player and Stan even let him sit in sometimes. He also wrote a book on Woody Herman called, "Chronicles of the Herds". My dad never came to appreciate Rock. C'est la vie :-(
@daniel laurence Depression doesn't catch anyone. Each person allows depression, anxiety, addiction, etc into their lives. This has nothing to do with my previous statement regarding many musicians having allowed addiction to destroy their lives.It also does not change my view that your comment about talking about addiction is preposterous. Without frank discussions about it, the first step of recovery cannot be initiated.
Walsh is one of the most under appreciated singer, song writers and guitar players The Dude just Rocks.Even In his 70s Joes having fun and gives a great effort for his fans.KEEP ON ROCKIN JOE ‼️.
OK, it's January 2021, and I'm seeing this video for the first time. When I see Joe play I'm taken back to a Saturday evening in the early 1970's. I'm sitting in a club in Strongsville, Ohio and this 3 piece band is smoking the place. They finish the tune and the guitar player walks up to the microphone and says in his typical Northeastern Ohio nasal accent; "by the way, this our last night playing here, cause tomorrow we are flying out to LA to record our first album, called The James Gang. That's how long I been a Joe Walsh fan. I will always be a Joe Walsh fan. Favorite tune, all of them. Most favorite, Turn to Stone ;-)
This is one hell of a compilation of Joe Walsh at his best. I am a HUGE fan of the way he plays the talkbox guitar and can't get enough of that sound. There are a lot of musicians who have incorporated that into their music but I think Joe is the king.
I prefer watching Joe Walsh play guitar over any of the other 'stone faced' guitarists. He looks like he really has fun playing and is still into it after so many years.
Joe Walsh is one of my guitar icons. I never tire of his endless versions of rocky mountain way available on You Tube. He is an intuitive and melodic player. A Strat, an LP, a PRS, whatever he plays you know its Joe. Marvellous.
+Adam Vile Do you know the story about the Strat he's playing with the white pick guard and dark (?Walnut?)neck, by any chance? He's got a robin's egg blue one with the same strange dark neck. They made a walnut neck for Teles that I remember but I don't remember anything about Strats coming with them. I'm wondering if it's just the way the finish on the neck aged or if it's something I could emulate (If I could figure out how he did it.). Nothing but all kinds of love for Joe in this house, too. I know what kind of day it's going to be if the girl wakes us up to Joe first thing.
Brilliant l went to this gig still remember all the great guitarists that night. For me stand out performance was Gary Moore with the Jimmy Hendrix song Red House
Year's ago I thought Joe Walsh was the greatest guitar player ever. And after decades of listening to others including Joe Perry and many others I found out that I was right. Joe Walsh play's the guitar like it's part of his body. Talent from God. Joe your definitely the best guitarist.
"And when anybody ask me - Joe how do you do it cos you do it with such style and grace? I just shake my head and smile, look'em in the eyes and say... - I'm just lucky that way" True! He's God gifted.
Joe is the best, I saw him again in 2016 and he just enjoys himself, and he really glad you came to see him, he even brought out his brother in law to play drums on a couple of songs................yep, his wife and Ringo Starrs wife are sisters, justa good time by all.
there in one guitar playing truth for players of all time. The great ones, the really great ones, you know withing 3 seconds or less who is doing the playing. And Joe Walsh is on that list with Eric Clapton, Duane Allman, Jimi Hendrix, Gary Moore, Frank Marino, Jeff Healey, Dicky Betts, and about 100 or more other players. I am glad to have been alive for the greatest period in music history, from 1967 to 2018 or so. So many so many great players. I wouldn't have had it any other way.
Seen him in 1995 in Little Rock, AR on the river. He came out in a yellow clown suit and rocked like a mad man. One of the best live performances I have ever seen.
I consider myself fortunate not only see Joe Walsh live once (in 1980) but, yet again just recently with the Eagles at Msg in NY. The man is a musical genius! I rank him up there with Beck, Page and Clapton. Rock on Joe! Keep on playin n rockin brother!
James Gang Rides Again with Joe Walsh was one of the first albums I ever bought when I was 12 or 13 as it was released in 1970. Been a Joe Walsh fan ever since.
Joe put the Funk in Rock! And, throws in a lot a country licks too! A friend of mine lived down the street from Joe. When he walked past Joe's house Joe would be sitting on the front steps. He would get up and chase my friend swinging his guitar at him! My friend grew up to be a jass guitarist himself!
Joe is terribly underrated and undervalued.. Simply one of the best guitar players in his generation. He sells any guitar they give him. He can play with a block of wood with a string attached. Marvelous player and more fun than a duck in the bathroom.
I don't know if Joe Walsh is the best guitarist ever..what i know for sure is that the freakin animal energy he puts on stage is totally out of this world . Awesome !!
Met Joe. Hard Rock Cafe, Orlando. What a night. Signed everything for me, from James Gang, Barnstorm, straight through. We got to visit for about a 1/2 hour. Another unforgettable night.
i recognize Pino Palidino playing on this vid. Quite possibly one of the greatest bass players of our era. Seems like anywhere the greats are playing, he's on the stage with 'em. Good on you Pino! I'm a big fan
Joe Walsh is too often overlooked in the "greatest ever" lists, in my opinion... Clapton, Hendrix, SRV, WALSH! Watch this video and tell me he's not a master. The Life in the Fast Lane solo is some of the best stuff I have ever heard! Awesome
Thank you, Brian. These guys were playing back when I was young and adventurous, so it's not really "welcome" since I was dancing at their concerts years ago! But I'm rediscovering it all over again!
Always loved Joe's playing and I saw him when he was still somewhat young. Good stuff. Gary Moore stole this celebration with his cover of Red House! Gary Moore's performance was mind blowing!
That was then, this is now. Check out Joe Walsh for the record. Joe Walsh one day at a time. Joe Walsh Family (special) . So so good and it will bring a smile to your face. Welcome to the wonderful world of rock and roll Catherine

I am so glad Joe survived his addictions. Many of the greats never come through them alive and with talent intact
@daniel laurence Preposterous

@daniel laurence Positive mental attitude, while an admirable trait, does nothing to combat addiction.
Don Felder helped him to re learn to play guitar
@@joshuamatana8708 Don mentions it in his book he said that Joe was in such bad shape he could not even play his guitar
Joe Walsh is not only a fantastic musician, he's allways fun
Ladies and Gentlemen, the GREAT Joe Walsh !
Went to an Eagles concert in Orlando about 6 years ago.... Joe Walsh is like a fine wine and only gets better with age... He is the King.....
JOE WALSH IS A GOOD MUSICIAN GUITARIST. AS WORLD CLASS AS HE IS, AND ALSO GARY MOORE OF IRELAND. TO GARY IS BEST.
Walsh is one of the most under appreciated singer, song writers and guitar players The Dude just Rocks.Even In his 70s Joes having fun and gives a great effort for his fans.KEEP ON ROCKIN JOE ‼️.
Not undervalued by me, Joe rocks!!
The man is a genius. When a warm up lick becomes an iconic song you don't need to say anymore.
*cough cough* sweet child o mine

I believe he really dose love playing .
never cease to amaze me how unique is the sound of jw. he really brings awesomeness to the eagles

The longer I play guitar, the more I appreciate Joe Walsh.

Hahaha...nice one.
The sound track of my life! Thanks Joe! Life has been good to you so far, and you made mine better too!
Burnt his self out! And still keeps going!!! I think he's the Energizer bunny under cover! Love Joe Walsh!!!!!
One of the most emotionally powerful players and nicest guys in the industry.
Nothing better than watching and listening to the great Joe Walsh when he is " Let Loose ".........imo he is in the top 5 guitarist of all time.......
I agree! Joe Walsh Jimmy Page Jimi Hendrix Freddie King Eric Clapton.❤😊
Prince as well.
Got to meet him backstage in Hollywood about 20 years ago. Such a class act & my fav guitarist!
What a player! What a showman! What an entertainer!

I seen joe in asburypark New Jersey in the mid 70 . He was great then and he's still even better now .
The talk box solo is AMAZING. It gives me chills when I hear it.
Joe Walsh is amazing.
Seen him in 1995 in Little Rock, AR on the river. He came out in a yellow clown suit and rocked like a mad man. One of the best live performances I have ever seen.
I could listen to him play all day.
From the James Gang to Solo to the Eagles to Solo again Joe Walsh is the real deal man. Great Guitar player too.
I could watch Joe and Angus young jam all day
I consider myself fortunate not only see Joe Walsh live once (in 1980) but, yet again just recently with the Eagles at Msg in NY. The man is a musical genius! I rank him up there with Beck, Page and Clapton. Rock on Joe! Keep on playin n rockin brother!
Yes Joe is a guitar god in his own right. He really rocks on this video,
Rocky Mountain Way..,way to keep rocking...
Joe has always been one of my favorites. A real talent and great guy!
Met my wife at a James Gang "Dance" at The Boston Mills Ski Lodge in Penninsula, Ohio summer of "69. Joe way great then and he still is now!
I’m 74 and I’ve just found Joe Walsh and I think he’s bloody awesome, just love him, his personality and his skill on his instrument is awesome ❤
The last two times I had been to an Eagles concert, Joe Walsh has carried them even with Glenn Fry there.
just awesome
James Gang Rides Again with Joe Walsh was one of the first albums I ever bought when I was 12 or 13 as it was released in 1970. Been a Joe Walsh fan ever since.
you know you're a legend when you just wear a t shirt and jeans with some new balances and are still badass
Joe Walsh is beyond amazing and he is quite the character too. ROCK ON!!!!
Man joe Walsh really has his own style and sound
Joe is by far one of the best whos ever done it
This man cannot be underrated. Has anyone every heard him play a bad note live. So clean every time!
Only with Paul Rodgers on the strat pack I think.
I have been a fan for many many years. I just can't stop listening to this great talent.
He have his heart in music
Joe has always been one of my favorite players. Heard him in college back in the 1970's and I was hooked forever. Great guy!
An ABSOLUTE master of his craft!!! Genius!!!!
Joe put the Funk in Rock! And, throws in a lot a country licks too! A friend of mine lived down the street from Joe. When he walked past Joe's house Joe would be sitting on the front steps. He would get up and chase my friend swinging his guitar at him! My friend grew up to be a jass guitarist himself!
Joe's Guitar Sound is EXACTLY like the Original .. he improvises how he plays it , but the Sound is exactly the same .. An absolute Perfectionist .
How awesome would it be to jam with Joe Walsh, he has a freaking ball up there.
Joe is terribly underrated and undervalued.. Simply one of the best guitar players in his generation. He sells any guitar they give him. He can play with a block of wood with a string attached. Marvelous player and more fun than a duck in the bathroom.
Joe Walsh! What a guy ... love him, the man has character and awsome talent!
This is awesome! Joe just showing how it's done! And having fun 🎸🤘
My favorite of the time❤😎
I don't know if Joe Walsh is the best guitarist ever..what i know for sure is that the freakin animal energy he puts on stage is totally out of this world . Awesome !!

Really enjoy listening to and watching him play.....very measured and to the point playing....always sounds great.

It looks as though he’s having fun, not just a job. I may be wrong, but he looks happy out there and appreciates the audience.
Love some Joe Walsh ever since the James Gang!
Me too!!!!❤😊
I've been a Joe Walsh fan since the James gang He's consistently phenomenal over the years
Thank you, Brian. These guys were playing back when I was young and adventurous, so it's not really "welcome" since I was dancing at their concerts years ago! But I'm rediscovering it all over again!
Joe Walsh is right up there with the other guitar gods!
Ich liebe den Style dieses ungewöhnlichen Typen ganz einfach. Er ist noch einer der"Echten"!
Wow the best joe Walsh
This guy is so much more of a talent.

The man I admired in my 22 years of life and counting
A great, wonderful music man.
He was fun to jam with early 70's!!
