On the smoker you get tour in 70's.. We had the keg in the tail gate party before the concert... After the concert we stayed in the parking lot ... About 3am when everyone was gone we were still partying... A limo shows up and its Joe ...he partied with us after his show ... I'll never forget it...
Just like I said before, I never said I was as good as him but yet you can’t comprehend that I admire him and his work, so you must be judge and jury about him?
@@billhutchison7078I’m sorry, but where did that come from? If I made any comment to a post of yours( which I can’t find), I apologize, and if I did and it offended you, that was not my intention. I’m no one’s judge and jury and don’t recall any comment that implicated I was. I hope this reply of yours was for someone else and not me. Again, I sincerely apologize. Friends? 🤝
My dad is really good friends with him. He taught me how to drum roll when I was about 10 on my practice pad. He's always been a favorite drummer for the active style he has. He recently got the Joe to perform at the Taylor Hawkins tribute show. Cool guy, loves license plates and old metal signs.
It’s amazing to me that these songs have stayed relevant for 50 years. When I was a teen this tune came on FM radio (new then) and friend cranked it up and yelled, “this is a great song!” I later met Joe and he was an avid vintage guitar collector. He was recently seen racing around the slopes in Aspen, CO with Ringo Starr and their families hanging out at Christmas. I always loved the percussion break and guitar work in this one.
Jim Fox is such a rudimentary drummer. I mean that in the most technical sense. He's not just jamming. He has trained himself in so many incredible foundational skills (Snare Drummer's Practise Rudiments is the exact name of the book where these come from. Yes, practice with an S) . He is so fluid with his fills and his funky beats, but put him up against a metronome. Real drummers are fascinated with what he does. He was still fantastic in the James Gang post Walsh as well. Check out the instrumental James Gang song Pick Up The Pizzas if you need proof. Even without Walsh, that song keeps you hooked and there's no vocals. I believe the late great Dominic Troiano was the guitarist during that version of the James Gang. Joe picked Dominic to replace him. Jim Fox is so solid. I was in a James Gang cover band just after high school and I just got a text from the guy who played drums for me 20 years ago in that band saying he saw the James Gang in the Taylor Hawkins tribute concert (Jim was Taylor's favorite drummer) and wants to play again. I'm a massive Joe Walsh fan and he learned to love Jim Fox from the way he had to listen to what he did in order to get it right. You know if you are looking for a drummer and they know who Jim Fox is, then they will be funky, liberal with their fills, be showcased just by showing up, and stay in the pocket the entire time.
Heard a radio interview years ago, and someone (artist? producer? can't remember) was talking about what a quick study Joe is, when working studio sessions. Play it for him once, play it with him once, record it. True talent. Even though Barnstorm is one of my favorite albums, Joe broke my heart when he quit the James Gang.
I agree. Glenn Frey said that no one compliments a vocal line like the way Joe does. Carlos Santana is very, very similar. Much less shredding, even when it sounds like shredding, and much more precise playing. In truth, Joe's masterpiece song The Confessor has a wonderful guitar solo where Joe blows a note. He admitted it and it's glaring, but he kept it in because it sounds like he's pushing the boundaries more than he makes a mistake. I love that honesty from someone who is so emotional and still technical in his playing.
Joe is a legend ,great player,and always with a sense of humour,doesnt take himself too seriously,and great live ,had a tough time over the years ,but still going ,and as good as ever.
Was of fan of Joe's ever since I heard the song "Walk Away" with the James Gang back in the early 70s. Joe also produced Dan Fogelberg's Souvenirs album, which I loved. Maybe my favorite Joe Walsh Album was "So What".
Love 'Walk Away" also. Played in a band at this time and we covered "Funk 49" and "Walk Away." So did every other rock band in existence at that rime. Fun to play.
I believe she wrote it when inspired and saddened by the death of Joe's young daughter. Its worth looking up. I already did a long time ago. I ain't wasting any more time doin it again.
Greetings Phil and that’s my favorite song by Joe Walsh🎸🎤👍 I also want to let you know to my friend that I have been spreading your name around to my celebrity musician friends on Facebook and Twitter and encouraging them to come to your channel because I have let them know that it’s the best all around musical channel on TH-cam🙌
Hey! Number 1!! Always liked Joe with the James Gang. Walsh was comfortable being “loosey goosey” with either lead or rhythm, his having fun was always out front.
Every time I happen to be screen sharing with my girlfriend and you upload a new video when she sees it pop up she says "Hello, Fil here from Wings of Pegasus!" :D
I just LOVE Joe Walsh! Funk 49 is the first song of his (w/James Gang) I ever heard, back when I was a senior in high school. And that was about 49 years ago! When the song first came out videos were not very common, so the only image I’d seen of him was a picture from an album cover. Based on his music, I always thought of him as a very serious hard rocker type dude. But since videos are more common now, especially TH-cam, it’s been great to see him play. The one thing that strikes me the most is how much fun and how funny he is. He always seems to be having such a good time. I saw an Eagles concert from Australia on Axis TV a few weeks ago. And again, he had such a good time playing, singing and playing around, especially with his facial expressions. - Thank you so much for featuring him on your channel segment. I am no musician, but somehow you explain things in such a way that I feel like I’ve actually understood and learned more about the artist than I did before watching it.
My dream has always been to play a guitar! Even if it was just one song!! I just saw Joe a few months back with the Eagles and he's just awesome live. But here.. your breakdown of his playing the guitar is just top notch! Makes me want to start up trying to play again. Awesome Video Fil!! My favorite of yours by far. I used to have a Telecaster. Again great stuff
Thanks for sharing your professional perspective Fil. Such mind-blowing astonishing talent! Also enjoyed seeing you crank out those tunes as well! Killer!!!
My band! My song! My youth! I really enjoy watching your reactions to the classic groups and singer/guitar players. You always explain things so well, usually pointing out things that I would never have known to ask about but make me understand the music so much better! Thanks again!
Your 'reaction' videos [ actually educational videos for performers ], convinced me to look at your Wings of Pegasus music videos, and WOW! Your talent is absolutely remarkable. I really hope that you're doing what you love to do, as it is great stuff. Keep going, and keep playing.
Being a Cle, OH boy here we used to see James Gang all the time locally in '69, '70. Joe was always an exceptionally talented guitarist and showman. The boy done real goodly. Love the double break at 11:27! Well done, Fil. You're making me feel like a teen again! Thank you!
Thanks for doing this one. Excellent analysis of The performance and Joe's playing. The James Gang is one of those bands that a lot of my younger friends have never heard of, but they were always a favorite of mine. We picked up a live album at a 2nd hand store by them that was released in 1971. One of the better live albums we've stumbled across. "Walk Away" from that album sounds great turned up as loud as I can get it! The guitar, bass, and drum line up truly shows there are times where less is more.
James Gang was my introduction to Joe Walsh. What I think of Joe's technique is he never looks like he is working on it. I looks like he is so comfortable with where he is going on the fretboard. Effortless and having fun. It is a joy to watch him. It took me years to get the sound as you described with the continuous strumming and muting strings. When you play it right, you know it immediately. Thanks for the review and the guitar playing section. Nice to know I had it right.
My friend, you do THE BEST JOB breaking down and evaluating musicians and their songs of anyone I’ve ever heard! Your experience coupled with technical expertise is very impressive to say the least! Keep up the GREAT WORK!
Oh yes,Gorgeous Fil,I like it ! was dancing over here having a good time,stopping to enjoy the scenery of this beautiful British guitarist/hot teacher💋❣
Great breakdown man! Joe Walsh truly is the full package of musician, singer songwriter and performer. Always love folks that play with a sense of humor about it. Although Joe could get pretty dark....thinking of Confessor. Heavy tune! ✌🏻🎸🎼
Artists who could have both a sense of humor and a serious side have always been underrated and underappreciated . I love Joe , he always slips an involuntary smile on my face .
All your videos are good, always interesting but some of them stand out more than others. This one was great. It really helps when you demonstrate the techniques you're talking about.
Hi Fil! Your videos have given me a new appreciation of guitar players! Listening to the different styles of each one has been such a rewarding experience! Since my son is a drummer I always notice the drums! I have to admit that Walsh has to be one of the top musicians! Joe is always comfy with his music! Thanks for this one! I agree that backing musicians make the music! They just add that extra pizazz when they are good! Peace! ✌️
Joe and the James Gang were awesome,covered some of their stuff back in day including this song,was able to pull it off fairly well,another fine rundown Fil,thanks......ROCK!!....
John Entwhistle made a album called To Late The Hero and Joe played on all songs on that I think and John played on Joe's albums also ..Joe even played with Ringo's All Stars band and played on Ringos last album ..He is very well liked by all in the business . Joe's style of slide playing definitely makes him my fav in that category ....He just knows how to get the right mood and style out of every song he does.. Have you seen the vid I Can Play Than Rock and Roll ? He is even a great comedian
I’ve sung this song for decades and never knew the name of the band or Joe was in charge!!!! Thanks! Very nice analysis! You are playing like you aren’t even thinking!!!! Like you are thinking about your next cup of tea! Amazing!!!!
Phenomenal analysis, Fil- so many facts I didn't know. I knew and loved this song forever but never knew the name of it all these years!!! Great explanation of Joe's guitar style.
Joe, Failed Musician shirt, Cow Bells, Hot backup singers, Fill's live Stream tonight, and a demo by the Professor giving us a great Fender Guitar demo, It's going to be a great day, Jeff in LA USA
Love Joe! The technique, the attitude, the guitar style & feel and those unique vocals that make Joe Joe! Great player great original vocalist. A true classic artist. In my touring days in the 70s and 80s we did 75 % original material, selecting our cover material carefully. A lengthy Funk 49 was one we covered that always blew the crowds away. Been a huge fan since the James Gang and his GREAT inventive solo stuff..that classic Joe sense of humour! Fantastic analysis Fil! Thanks! 🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦
Saw them back when they were touring to support "James Gang Rides Again." I've always like Joe as a guitar player and lead because he has always seemed to be real, both in his playing and in his attitude towards the music business. Fil, so good to see you on guitar, using that as a visual/aural aid.
I love your channel, even though I have no idea how to play the guitar. The demonstrations are great, and all the background information is so interesting.
I saw the James Gang in concert back when they were starting out. I somehow ended up on the front row. One thing I remember is when Joe Walsh used his microphone stand as a slide for his guitar. Thanks for the post.
Wow, flashback (for me); had the 8-track, playing in my car on some of my lonely nights cruising around in my senior year (college). Thanks for the great review Fil.
Hey Fil really digging the guitar emphasis. Awesome SRV vid too didn't get a chance to comment....sometimes it's hard when I have too much to say as in the case of Stevie.
Perfect breakdown .... spot on ! As well, must say, you do your covers of his riffs and mutes just right and it must be so hard to do the non-correct non-muted examples
Love the dynamics in Joe’s playing...coupled with his layback feel he’s just amazing! One of the greatest rock guitarist of our time! Really cool Fil! Cheers Mario! 😀👌👍
I left NYC when I was 38 in 1998. First stop was New Orleans for 2 years. 2nd stop was South Florida. Just north of Miami is a town called Hallandale. There’s a Horse racetrack there called Gulf Stream. It was one of three tracks in a 20 mile radius. To entice patrons to come gamble and bet on horses they would put on concerts. They would have great bands there every Saturday. I saw Cheap Trick, Grand Funk, Steppenwolf, Bryan Adams, and Mr. Joe Walsh. I was 40 by the time I saw him live. As a teenager Rocky Mountain Way was like an anthem for us. I’m not sure what took me so long. From the 1st note until he said thank you and goodnight, he just nailed it. One of the best singer, song writer, and amazing guitarists of all time. A true professional. Thank you Fil, Your choices in every genre are spot on. Joe Walsh is no exception
Thanks for playing on this one Fil. Joe is one of the best on guitar. He's got an interesting vocal style also - none like him. He can also tear down a Fender Amp and rewire it, as well as put together an AM transmitter from scratch and talk 300 miles away from his house in Ca. Joe is no dummy...
Great analysis, Fil, especially with you taking the time to slow it down playing with/without the muting effect. It really makes your point come across regarding technique.
Love that man’s playin and singing. All guitar plays that are good BECOMES. He does the music with his fingers voice body and lips. Which get audience looking at him and Joe making them enjoy too.
Joe was a madman back in the day. We're lucky to still have him.
Right on ! ‘Tearin’ up hotel walls’, and whatnot🤑
@@benzell4 Joe's not worried about AI. He says "it's got nothing to do with music and can't tear up hotel rooms anyway."
When Walsh and Felder played together it was magic.
@Jethro Tull
Absolutely
Yeah, it was so good it made Henley jealous.
Must have been intense to witness.
On the smoker you get tour in 70's..
We had the keg in the tail gate party before the concert... After the concert we stayed in the parking lot ... About 3am when everyone was gone we were still partying... A limo shows up and its Joe ...he partied with us after his show ... I'll never forget it...
"Life's been good to me so far..."
Great stuff!
Joe Walsh took the Eagles into new territory....he fit in and improved them, all at the same time. What an artiste!
Some people thinks he’s a little too crazy, but I have always loved Joe’s style. Thanks, Fil, for one of the greats❣️
If he was a little less crazy his music may not have been as great or as unique . His personality comes through in his playing..
Just like I said before, I never said I was as good as him but yet you can’t comprehend that I admire him and his work, so you must be judge and jury about him?
@@billhutchison7078I’m sorry, but where did that come from? If I made any comment to a post of yours( which I can’t find), I apologize, and if I did and it offended you, that was not my intention.

Jim Fox, one of the most underrated but best drummers you’ll ever hear. Check out the James Gang song Walk Away for some really impressive drumming.
yes, i was just looking at Jim's work in the video at The Beat Club in 1971.
Jim Fox is great. I'm thinking of the James Gang early album "Yer Album." He was just fantastic. I he playing here?
My dad is really good friends with him. He taught me how to drum roll when I was about 10 on my practice pad. He's always been a favorite drummer for the active style he has. He recently got the Joe to perform at the Taylor Hawkins tribute show. Cool guy, loves license plates and old metal signs.

Thanks Fil!! Enjoyed the demonstration! love Joe Walsh!!
I've been waiting for this one. James Gang Rocks, thank you very much.
Heavens no Jimmy Fox. You’re not a failed musician. You were a STAR ever since you were with The Outsiders.
The James gang was actually named after him, one of the best drum performances ever was "walk away"
Jim Fox is such a rudimentary drummer. I mean that in the most technical sense. He's not just jamming.

Seems like such a good guy. So glad he survived the substances. Thank you, Fil.
One of the all time greats!
Joe Walsh is the most deliberate guitar player in history - i.e. he pronounces every note with such conviction that it becomes literally irrisistable.
I agree. Glenn Frey said that no one compliments a vocal line like the way Joe does. Carlos Santana is very, very similar. Much less shredding, even when it sounds like shredding, and much more precise playing. In truth, Joe's masterpiece song The Confessor has a wonderful guitar solo where Joe blows a note.

I can listen to Joe play all day long...saw him play after a KC Royals game..superb..Go Chiefs..thanks Fil
Chiefs!!!! 🏈❤️💛
Go Chiefs!! I'm a Ravens fan, and HATE the 49er's!! :)
Stevie Nicks has called Joe Walsh the love of her life. And she's had many loves. Stevie wrote 'Has Anyone Ever Written Anything for You' for Joe.
I believe she wrote it when inspired and saddened by the death of Joe's young daughter. Its worth looking up. I already did a long time ago. I ain't wasting any more time doin it again.
Joe Walsh once described Stevie Nicks as "the good witch" who helped save his life when he was at his lowest.
They solo toured together. Walsh opened up for her. It was in the early 80's. Saw them at the Meadowlands in NJ.

Hey! Number 1!!
Always liked Joe with the James Gang. Walsh was comfortable being “loosey goosey” with either lead or rhythm, his having fun was always out front.

If by being "goosey loosey" you mean smoke a lot of marijuana and hashish the yes, absolutely.
@@sacluvsBM Don' forget he ran for governor of Kansas as a write in.

Allows me to appreciate even more...
I always loved Joe, hes just fun but this man has some real tear jerkers as well. Fine heartfelt songwriting and a voice that is clearly his own.
Joe Walsh is one of my all time favorites due to being all encompassing. Thank you for pointing out this tune. Insane tone and technique.
Great breakdown man! Joe Walsh truly is the full package of musician, singer songwriter and performer. Always love folks that play with a sense of humor about it. Although Joe could get pretty dark....thinking of Confessor. Heavy tune! ✌🏻🎸🎼
Artists who could have both a sense of humor and a serious side have always been underrated and underappreciated . I love Joe , he always slips an involuntary smile on my face .
All your videos are good, always interesting but some of them stand out more than others. This one was great. It really helps when you demonstrate the techniques you're talking about.
Hi Fil! Your videos have given me a new appreciation of guitar players! Listening to the different styles of each one has been such a rewarding experience! Since my son is a drummer I always notice the drums! I have to admit that Walsh has to be one of the top musicians! Joe is always comfy with his music! Thanks for this one! I agree that backing musicians make the music! They just add that extra pizazz when they are good! Peace! ✌️
Are You kidding me man? The James gang? Rock on!!!!!!
Yea! So freakin good! The most underrated Eagle.
Joe and the James Gang were awesome,covered some of their stuff back in day including this song,was able to pull it off fairly well,another fine rundown Fil,thanks......ROCK!!....

I use to go to J.B's every Sat.
A great guitar player who never gets the credit he deserves. He makes it look easy.
Joes such a great bloke ,loves what he does ,and it shows ,never takes himself ,too seriously ,his backing singers having a good time ,it all helps.
My all time favorite song to play drums on is WALK AWAY. That song will never get old. Love James Gang.
Super analysis Fil, I had always, and I do mean always, wondered how he did that rift.
Watching the second time!
Saw them back when they were touring to support "James Gang Rides Again."
I've always like Joe as a guitar player and lead because he has always seemed to be real, both in his playing and in his attitude towards the music business.
Fil, so good to see you on guitar, using that as a visual/aural aid.
Hi Fill, The first song I ever played with a band was Joe's song "Walk away" It was so exciting!
I love your channel, even though I have no idea how to play the guitar. The demonstrations are great, and all the background information is so interesting.
Joe's so cool.."I don't need no stinkin headphones..you guys wear em if you have to!"
He even dumped his shoes
I saw the James Gang in concert back when they were starting out. I somehow ended up on the front row. One thing I remember is when Joe Walsh used his microphone stand as a slide for his guitar. Thanks for the post.
Party Joe rockin the house. Love the drummers shirt. Love the guitar work demo Fil.
Wow, flashback (for me); had the 8-track, playing in my car on some of my lonely nights cruising around in my senior year (college). Thanks for the great review Fil.
Hey Fil really digging the guitar emphasis. Awesome SRV vid too didn't get a chance to comment....sometimes it's hard when I have too much to say as in the case of Stevie.
Thanks for the insight Fil. A great session.
I love Joe Walsh. I'm learning guitar and, some day, I will understand what the hell you are telling us, Fil.
Great video Fil.
Excellent review!
Perfect breakdown .... spot on ! As well, must say, you do your covers of his riffs and mutes just right and it must be so hard to do the non-correct non-muted examples
Love the dynamics in Joe’s playing...coupled with his layback feel he’s just amazing! One of the greatest rock guitarist of our time! Really cool Fil! Cheers Mario! 😀👌👍
I left NYC when I was 38 in 1998. First stop was New Orleans for 2 years. 2nd stop was South Florida. Just north of Miami is a town called Hallandale. There’s a Horse racetrack there called Gulf Stream. It was one of three tracks in a 20 mile radius. To entice patrons to come gamble and bet on horses they would put on concerts. They would have great bands there every Saturday. I saw Cheap Trick, Grand Funk, Steppenwolf, Bryan Adams, and Mr. Joe Walsh. I was 40 by the time I saw him live. As a teenager Rocky Mountain Way was like an anthem for us. I’m not sure what took me so long. From the 1st note until he said thank you and goodnight, he just nailed it. One of the best singer, song writer, and amazing guitarists of all time. A true professional.
Thank you Fil,
Your choices in every genre are spot on. Joe Walsh is no exception
Thanks for playing on this one Fil. Joe is one of the best on guitar. He's got an interesting vocal style also - none like him. He can also tear down a Fender Amp and rewire it, as well as put together an AM transmitter from scratch and talk 300 miles away from his house in Ca. Joe is no dummy...
Great analysis, Fil, especially with you taking the time to slow it down playing with/without the muting effect. It really makes your point come across regarding technique.
This riff has stuck in my mind all these years
Joe Walsh is one of my favorites Thanks for explaining guitar technique. Enjoyed this a lot
Love that man’s playin and singing. All guitar plays that are good BECOMES. He does the music with his fingers voice body and lips. Which get audience looking at him and Joe making them enjoy too.
