At 1:18 Joe's mouth is a LITTLE behind the track when he sings, "don't misunderstand me". I HATED finding that, but it's STILL an AWESOME take on some CLASSIC Rock 'n Roll!
Just wanted to double-check: Benmont Tench is the youngest at 68; Russ Kunkel is 73; Leland Sklar, Joe Walsh and Waddy Wachtel are 74; and Richard Starkey is the elder statesman by far, at 81. When it comes to talent, age don't mean a thing!!!
Whenever I hear this song while driving, I roll down the windows and open the sunroof and play it as loud as my 70 year old ears can stand it. Thank you Joe for this masterpiece.
I remember I was down in Los Angeles in the early 2000s right after Waddy got busted for having kiddie porn on his computer at home. I think this lawyer pleaded no contest so he is lucky as hell he didn't serve time. I remember at the club we were at nobody would talk to him or go near him. 😮
@@my-t-mikedaly607 You could say that George Harrison invented this set up 30 years ago in Bob Dylan's kitchen - it was immediate, authentic, a bunch of friends having a jam. They wrote seven songs in seven days and accidentally launched a new super group - The Traveling Wilburys. His presence here would have been interesting, bearing in mind the format and reunited with his old rooming buddy Ringo. Daryl Hall 'borrowed' the 'Wilbury' idea and put it on TH-cam, although George didn't do it for celebrity, sponsorship or likes. It was born out of a visit to Bob's house to use his home studio in order to get a song down, friends arriving, jamming together and having a good time. Jim Keltner's drums were his sticks on the kitchen pots and pans. And there was no rehearsal. Oh and he created the guitar part and played lead on this, one of his contributions that inspired The Eagles and just about everyone else: th-cam.com/video/M4vbJQ-MrKo/w-d-xo.html
@@swhip897 He's so right. I only remember the 70s as a kid, more of an 80s child but man could we pull things off. Today it's all rules and "safety". Boring.
When you watch the pre-rooftop sessions, you see that the other guys were so comfortable with Ringo that they didn't even pay him any attention, and he didn't say much at all. He was just there, drumming.
@@timothytimothyarts395 Sorry man but you're way wrong on both accounts. Unless you're a bass player that thinks the bass should be more prominent in the mix then everything else you're wrong, the bass can be heard fine, perfectly in this mix. Also, the most prominent aspect of this song is, and always has been, the guitar and then vocals, even though the bass and drums are phenomenal on the original track too. The guitar makes it funky, and then everyone else adds to the funk. Please get your ears checked if you sincerely can't hear the bass on this. Cheers and take care man.
At first glance I thought it was just one drummer and we were seeing him in a reflection off the control room window or something, then I was like, wait, that's two dudes isn't it! :D
@@mrz80 I was friends with the late, great Jeff Porcaro, saw him and Jim Hodder play side by side like this, blew me away at 14 years young, still does. Steely Dan was playing at a club called the Sopwith Camel in Glendale, Ca. My brother took me there and our other friends, the Goossen brothers (Joe Goossen is a commentator on FOX boxing now, became one of the best trainer in the world) were bouncers there. We went upstairs in between sets and smoked joints dipped in hash oil. Nice!
Ringo looks better at 81 than I do at 55....Pure rock legend and Stud, Ringo rules! One of the greatest to ever roam the Earth & the heart and soul of The Beatles.
Please don't tell me this was Just done recently. I've seen Ringo recently on a talk Show, a preamble to Get Back coming out. He looked terrific at 80 ,going 81 this year !! Funny that david de F said it was his vegetarian diet, he did sy that He Eats Broccoli everyday !!. You guys know that he had a very Sickly childhood , ruptured appendix, Tuberculosis, was in a Coma after he feel out of his hospital bed post Appendix surgery .....And to my eye, he looked awful in many parts of Get Back, smoked like a Banshi, took drugs, etc. Incredible even if this Jam was 5 or 10 years ago. I'm 70 and plagued with Spinal / multi joint arthritis and I could play to this Jam, (with some discomfort), I don't look that Good. Gotta follow his advice: NO SUGAR, and Eat Broccoli Everyday. Be well all. Happy New Year in these Maddening Times!!
I love this, and I am one of the luckiest people I know. I had the rare pleasure of working and even playing music with some of these legendary musicians. I worked in advertising for some great brands like Budweiser, Jack Daniel's, SWBell, and produced many music tracks with Leland and Russ and top LA and NY session players, and then as a sax player, my band, Mamas Pride, got the opening slot for Ringo's All Starr Band in 1992 in St. Louis and Kansas City. There was a lot of back stage socializing at Riverport and Sandstone amphitheaters and I was able to get a few words with Ringo, Joe Walsh, Tim Schmitt, Burton Cummings, Todd Rundgren, Timmy Capello and Dave Edmunds, with whom I had spent a couple of days at Ocean Way Studio in LA recording him for Budweiser a couple of years earlier. At the Riverport soundcheck he stopped me and said, "Where do I know you from, mate?" I said the Budweiser session at Ocean Way, and he grabbed my shoulders like we were old friends, "The Budweiser guy! I knew I knew you from somewhere - and you're a sax player! Good show!" He had enjoyed the Budweiser session - and the money, too. And as my band filed past Joe Walsh to walk out on stage to open the show, Joe growled at each of us humorously and said, "Don't play too good, now. Don't make us look bad. You better suck." and a string of threats. He was always fun and making with jokes. All of them were very friendly and made this part-time sax player's best memory in the music biz.
I was thinking the very same thing last night about the Allman Brothers... here's "Dreams" from the '71 Stonybrook show. th-cam.com/video/Jy3mIvcN9Z0/w-d-xo.html

Was fortunate enough to have seen Ringo Starrs All Star Band. The lineup was Joe Walsh, Billie Preston, Clarence Clemens, Levon Helm and Dr. John. What an awsome show. About half way through the band took a short break stage is dark, spotlight shines down and here is Joe Walsh. He sits and plays Desperado solo on a beautiful white Grand Piano. What a show. Also Eric Carmen came out as a surprise guest.
That tour was the first time I'd ever seen Rings and his All Star Band. Amazing. We have seen 2 more All Star Tours and they are not to be missed. Hit after Hit after Hit!
I saw the Eighth edition of the All-Starr Band (2003), with John Waite, Sheila E, Colin Hay, Paul Carrack, and guests. It was one of the most fun concerts that I have ever been to: at least three generations of fans - grandparents, parents, and kids - all tossing beach balls and singing along with Ringo to every word of every song. If you have a chance to catch Ringo on tour, don't miss it!
He sure did hold it down, as Joe would have had it get away real quick! He decided to reinforce the backbone before it went south, and good thing he did! Lee is the silent legend! Ringo is a freak of nature! He must be like nearing 70 here, and looks like a punk who could kick your ass in a heart beat for giving him lip!
Damn, what a collection of musicians. I just turned 65, and I recognize every name. The James Gang was my first concert, the Ohio state fair in 1969 at the age of 10. I was able to see this band only because it happened at the fair. It took me almost 6 more months to convince my parents to let me go to an indoor concert, and another bday. Grand Funk Railroad at St John's Arena was my bday present to myself for turning 11. It was a good thing that my parents had no idea what a rock concert was like at the end of the 60's. 50 year old memories. Peace 💚
If there is a 'perfect' jam, we should all feel lucky,because we just heard it. A great big shout out to all the musical gentle men, and thanx, all, so very much, for the magic, music, and memories.
Hi I just wanted to thank you again for being so supportive and following me on my journey. I love inspiring and encouraging others. People like you help me to keep showing up! Hope you are having an amazing day👋👋♥️
Ringo would look right at home behind a drum kit playing with 20-somethings. Meanwhile, Disney's streaming a compilation of his work on an album made 52 years ago. Time is broken!
In the 80-second Disney+ ad for “Get Back,” Ringo stars by asking at the start, “Maybe we should learn a few songs first…?” and asking at the end, “Is that one called ‘I’ve Got a Feeling’?” Hilarious back then and still hilarious now!
"The Immediate Family" in full groove with Walsh and Starr! I'm all aflutter waiting for the release of the documentary on these awesome session musicians. This is AWESOME!
Yes, but there's also no real excitement or energy to it. They play it safe, and not too loud, perfect for their fan base now, which is mainly seniors just like them.
@@rodjohnson3045 apparently you thought they were going to cover Tool. They're doing that tomorrow night. Geddy Lee is going to come in and we get two bass players play epic lines.
@@daviddefigueiredo6018 If that is the same person as the Ringo Starr in 1964 then I am a monkey's uncle. I do think that all the Beatles were replaced after they all burnt out in 1966 and the lookalikes keep the insanely lucrative franchise going. Well until two of them were going to spill the beans on the great deception and they are now out of the picture .The gullible Sheeple love it and lap it up. At least Joe Walsh is still the same dude as he was in 1969.
Two of my favorite “ musicians” ever! This is when music was great .Thank God they recorded all this so we can relive this greatness anytime we want! 🤟🏽🫶🎧🎸🥁🎹🎤🎟️
That’s because ringo plays the simplest drums on the planet. It’s not hard to do what ringo does and I never understood why he gets so much credit. Zero distinct sound, zero original fills or beats, ringo is the most overrated drummer of all time.
Leyland Sklar keeps a solid groove going and never quits. Great improvisor. Ringo looks fantastic! Why did they need a second drummer? Funk 49 has always been a favorite song. Good to see you again Joe!
The second drummer is Russell Kunkel who has played with a slew of people. Him & waddy have a band called The Immediate Family. All famous studio musicians. Myself I love the 2 drummers they play wonderfully together.
Congo looks like Ringo! Awesome looking! Joe and the Gang too! Sure takes me back in time to good times! Glad to hear it still! I LOVE JAMS!! Cool 5 string bass licks!!
@@carlsonloggie Agreed, I wonder if Sir Richard AKA Ringo will ever let himself go gray, or in the UK, grey? Sir Paul finally has, of course his looked really ridiculous as he was suddenly a redhead in his seventies, instead of the dark brown haired boy and man we all knew.
I met Mr Sklar several years ago when he was touring with Toto. He was such a nice guy! I met Joe Walsh in 2015. He was incredible. Got a picture taken with each of these guys. Saw Waddy Wachtel the same time I met Joe but did not get to meet and visit with him. Wish I could meet Ringo and Paul McCartney some day.
Ringo is one of the most underrated & original drummers ever (IMHO), think back to all those dozens of great Beatles songs he played the absolutely perfect rhythm track like Charlie Watts (RIP) he played simple but perfect drum parts.
This is so good. All icons in their own rights. Joe W, the original James Gang, Lee, Russ, Ringo, Waddy, Benmont, WOW. What a great rendition of this very cool song. Ringo is so good and very comical. When there are dual drummers he gives the other drummer looks, too funny. He tends to laugh after he does it. I LOVE this a lot!
The first 8-track tape I ever heard as a kid! "James Gang Rides Again"! Brings back great old memories. Thanks Joe. And Ringo too! Anything he's on has to be good. Peace Brother!

3am last night after going to gym. I'm eating and TH-cam suggested "Take a look around". I listen to it many times in awe of the unique melodies and composition. James Gang had a Great drummer too. 🏋🍻💪🇺🇸
TASTE and timing! "What's the perfect riff-fill-accent?" Amateurs may talk about playing from their little 'hearts' ... but the pros here know you run that heartfelt playing through the brain filter ...

If you have a chance to catch Ringo on tour, don't miss it!
I caught Ringo in ‘97 with Simon Kirke on drums, Jack Bruce on bass, Gary Brooker on keys, & Peter Frampton on guitar. Amazing show !
@sneaker face vids Plenty of envy over here. That’s a great lineup.
When Eric Carmen played was he all by himself? 🤣
Look at Leland Sklar holding it all down with these two iconic drummers! Dream team rhythm section!
Hey Sean!
@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 Hey Dude!!
They're all killing it in this... but yeah... he was having a great time driving this jam.
He sure did hold it down, as Joe would have had it get away real quick! He decided to reinforce the backbone before it went south, and good thing he did! Lee is the silent legend! Ringo is a freak of nature! He must be like nearing 70 here, and looks like a punk who could kick your ass in a heart beat for giving him lip!
@@Bob-of-Zoid Ringo looks so great to be *81*
Damn, what a collection of musicians. I just turned 65, and I recognize every name. The James Gang was my first concert, the Ohio state fair in 1969 at the age of 10. I was able to see this band only because it happened at the fair. It took me almost 6 more months to convince my parents to let me go to an indoor concert, and another bday. Grand Funk Railroad at St John's Arena was my bday present to myself for turning 11. It was a good thing that my parents had no idea what a rock concert was like at the end of the 60's. 50 year old memories. Peace 💚
Jeezus! 80+ Ringo looks like he’s not a day over 35!! What the hell is he……a vampire!! LOL! 🎉
If there is a 'perfect' jam, we should all feel lucky,because we just heard it.
A great big shout out to all the musical gentle men, and thanx, all, so very much, for the magic, music, and memories.
Add this up, about 200 years or more of legendary experience jamming out. AMAZING!
Hi I just wanted to thank you again for being so supportive and following me on my journey. I love inspiring and encouraging others. People like you help me to keep showing up! Hope you are having an amazing day👋👋♥️
I Saw Joe Walsh and Russ Kunkel play in Norwalk CT.AWSOME SHOW!!! M.O'B
I just gotta say, Ringo looks amazing!!!
Look at Leland man he get all the gigs.🥁😎🥁..
Ringo would look right at home behind a drum kit playing with 20-somethings. Meanwhile, Disney's streaming a compilation of his work on an album made 52 years ago. Time is broken!
Will also be out on BluRay in a couple weeks :)
In the 80-second Disney+ ad for “Get Back,” Ringo stars by asking at the start, “Maybe we should learn a few songs first…?” and asking at the end, “Is that one called ‘I’ve Got a Feeling’?” Hilarious back then and still hilarious now!
@@DeeEllEff It was actually George who asked Paul if that's I've Got a Feeling
"Wibbly wobbly, timey wimey"
Imagine Lee seeing Ringo with the lads at the Hollywood Bowl in '64 then getting to Jam with him almost 60 years later.. So happy for ya LEE!
Lee is most impressive!!
F**kin A! Now there's a bunch of ol' guys havin fun. Thanks for sharung.
The GOATS still can show the kids how it’s done!💖
This is what a combined tens of thousands of hours in a studio will get you.
"The Immediate Family" in full groove with Walsh and Starr! I'm all aflutter waiting for the release of the documentary on these awesome session musicians. This is AWESOME!
The documentary is out now. I just saw it a few weeks ago. I watched it on Prime but it may be available on other streaming services too. It is great
This is what jamming is all about. Living off one and other's riff and creating a new living being.
But also never getting in anyone's way ...
Everyone has a double but Leland 😂, he can play like two ppl
Ringo at 81???? 3 others at 74??? W O W what an amazing and tight jam.
Yes, but there's also no real excitement or energy to it. They play it safe, and not too loud, perfect for their fan base now, which is mainly seniors just like them.
@@rodjohnson3045 Played it safe, or have already tried it all, so above novelty?
Rod Johnson is not a very good judge of music. He may not like this, but it is a very good jam.
@@rob8872 I was thinking more of seniors in general.
@@rodjohnson3045 apparently you thought they were going to cover Tool.
They're doing that tomorrow night. Geddy Lee is going to come in and we get two bass players play epic lines.
Danke Ringo, Joe, Benmont, Waddy, Russ und besonders Lee. Geiler Sound👍🍻
Waddy !!! You can really appreciate his additions to Joe's songs. All those bends and chromatic lines in the modes. Amazing jam.
There’s some weapons-grade talent in that room. Outstanding.
I am convinced recording talent is a whittling-down process rather than bag-of-tricks. Also, watched _The Ipcress File_ the other night!
Niños jugando a la pelota, sin pensar en idolos porque los idolos son ellos.
Joe For President.
Ringo for Minister of PEACE!
Old men can rock , love the bassist!
Ringo still solid at 80 and still playing his Luddies now thats loyalty
Ringo, 82 this year, fit as!
@@daviddefigueiredo6018 If that is the same person as the Ringo Starr in 1964 then I am a monkey's uncle. I do think that all the Beatles were replaced after they all burnt out in 1966 and the lookalikes keep the insanely lucrative franchise going. Well until two of them were going to spill the beans on the great deception and they are now out of the picture .The gullible Sheeple love it and lap it up. At least Joe Walsh is still the same dude as he was in 1969.
@@MisterTMH Dude, if you really believe that shit you should seek professional help.
@@MisterTMH uncalled for...
@@Pedroisanickname The truth is far stranger than fiction.
This band should do long versions of classics and make a jam album. It would be great! We want more 🙂
I love your idea!
Sounds like a plan 👍🏻👍🏻
Excellent idea.
Indeed!
Just dooooo it!!!!
Two of my favorite “ musicians” ever! This is when music was great .Thank God they recorded all this so we can relive this greatness anytime we want! 🤟🏽🫶🎧🎸🥁🎹🎤🎟️
Great jam! Special mention to Lee Sklar bass grooves. Amazing
Never fails to amaze me how relaxed ringo is on drums,cool song
Funk 49. James Gang when Walsh was just a pup.
Webster's dictionary defines "cool" as Ringo!
That’s because ringo plays the simplest drums on the planet. It’s not hard to do what ringo does and I never understood why he gets so much credit.
Zero distinct sound, zero original fills or beats, ringo is the most overrated drummer of all time.
@@river2352 so i take you are a drummer?
@@johnypitman2368 yep I am actually. What has that got to do with anything though? It’s my opinion, don’t like it? Move on
I was there when this first came out and can and always know all the songs. I may be old now but still a hippie at heart eh, ! ! !
That was frigging amazing! Senior rockers gone wild!
50 years of rock n’ roll personified.
Wonderful! Mr Sklar's bass is so cool.
Leyland Sklar keeps a solid groove going and never quits. Great improvisor. Ringo looks fantastic! Why did they need a second drummer? Funk 49 has always been a favorite song. Good to see you again Joe!
The second drummer is Russell Kunkel who has played with a slew of people. Him & waddy have a band called The Immediate Family. All famous studio musicians. Myself I love the 2 drummers they play wonderfully together.
A bunch of old crocks who still have their funky socks!
Ringo has never appeared without a second drummer since the Beatles broke up ...
Lee Sklar is in The Immediate Family too. Lee and Russ have been Lyle Lovett’s rhythm section the last few years. Who’s on keys?
Joe loves to have 2 drummers, especially on this tune. Have seen him 3x, always brought along 2 drummers.
Good to see Lee Sklar still rockin the bass. Ringo looks like a young Stallone. (Not Frank) and THANK YOU JOE, for giving us Funk 49.
Congo looks like Ringo! Awesome looking! Joe and the Gang too! Sure takes me back in time to good times! Glad to hear it still! I LOVE JAMS!! Cool 5 string bass licks!!
yeah one of my favorite bass players
Regarding Ringo, it's amazing what hair dye and dark glasses will do.
@@carlsonloggie Agreed, I wonder if Sir Richard AKA Ringo will ever let himself go gray, or in the UK, grey? Sir Paul finally has, of course his looked really ridiculous as he was suddenly a redhead in his seventies, instead of the dark brown haired boy and man we all knew.
I met Mr Sklar several years ago when he was touring with Toto. He was such a nice guy!
I met Joe Walsh in 2015. He was incredible. Got a picture taken with each of these guys.
Saw Waddy Wachtel the same time I met Joe but did not get to meet and visit with him.
Wish I could meet Ringo and Paul McCartney some day.
As an old drummer myself, what a dream to be able to play along with RIngo and Joe Walsh ! I only wish it could be me.
Get the headphones on and have at it.
I play rhythm and I jam out all the time.
Keep the faith...it just may happen for you one day🤞
I just turned 70 this year. I started playing Drums in 1965 because of Ringo. He's a wonderful human and wonderful drummer.
Leland Sklar's amazing skill and versatility!
Ringo has gotten younger looking! Good show 'ol chap. One of rock's best grove songs for sure. Diggin' Leland Sklars and Waddy's playing too.
Yes he sure has,; I wonder what his secret is!
HAIR…My boy
It’s a wig.
Hair dye. Keeps my wife looking great!
I want more!!! Don't tell me these great musicians just came together for one song!! Great stuff!!!
A damn good tune played by many of the finest musicians Ever.
Ringo is one of the most underrated & original drummers ever (IMHO), think back to all those dozens of great Beatles songs he played the absolutely perfect rhythm track like Charlie Watts (RIP) he played simple but perfect drum parts.
Ringo didn't play on every album.
They used studio musicians also..
@@christopherhahn6079 Start naming some then? I'll wait here.....
When I was looking for a drummer for my band, I always said that , I just want a ringo or a Charlie, two of the best ever ,!
I agree would be nice to hear him without a second drummer
Lefty playin' a righty kit! ...makes ALL the difference!
Awesome version. Glad I am a senior citizen to have music like this to listen to.
Let’s all take a moment to appreciate the talent that is Lee sklar in this video! Slap bass
Ringo looking young and healthy. Playing just as good as ever. So happy to see it.
This sure brought out the 70s hippie in me
and put a smile on my face all day.
Thanks you guys
I hear ya bro!
I can't speak, can barely type. That was absolutely incredible
Yeah!!!!!!!! The Immediate Family Cats with Ringo and Joe Walsh! It doesn’t get better than this!
This is so good. All icons in their own rights. Joe W, the original James Gang, Lee, Russ, Ringo, Waddy, Benmont, WOW. What a great rendition of this very cool song. Ringo is so good and very comical. When there are dual drummers he gives the other drummer looks, too funny. He tends to laugh after he does it. I LOVE this a lot!
Thank you for the music everyone!!!
Great to see Leland Sklar in this combo...
Sequin lapels would be ridiculous on anyone but Ringo. Somehow looks perfect. Also, Santa is rockin' that bass.
That grin he did at a simple stanks-y fill said it all!
Ho ho ho.
Leland Sklar .. The Bass man
The first 8-track tape I ever heard as a kid! "James Gang Rides Again"! Brings back great old memories. Thanks Joe. And Ringo too! Anything he's on has to be good. Peace Brother!
I miss my slotted suitcase full of 8 tracks.
Had some good ones!
I have the first three James Gang Lps, with Joe, and a couple solo albums, "Barnstorm" and "So What." Good stuff.
Not my first 8-track but one of my favorites. (At school, driving around the mountains of W.Va. ah, I remember it well).
Bass player ROCKS!
This thrills me in all the ways. Huge James Gang fan since I was a teenager. Love all these musicians so much.
Thanks Ellissa
Hi I just wanted to thank you again for being so supportive and following me on my journey. I love inspiring and encouraging others. People like you help me to keep showing up! Hope you are having an amazing day👋👋💕
Now that's what I'm talking about! Hell yeah.thank you!!!!!
Waddy Watchell? Are you serious? This is awesome!
Joe still has an amazing voice. Very impressive.
He's lip syncing.
@@AiMR Yes, you can clearly see at the 1:15 to 1:20 mark that what is coming from the speakers is not the same as what his mouth is doing.
Had the pleasure of seeing Joe in concert with the James Gang, 1970 I believe.
Ringo rocking headphones into a visor
3am last night after going to gym. I'm eating and TH-cam suggested "Take a look around". I listen to it many times in awe of the unique melodies and composition. James Gang had a Great drummer too. 🏋🍻💪🇺🇸
Freaking tight. Everyone there has impeccable timing.
TASTE and timing! "What's the perfect riff-fill-accent?" Amateurs may talk about playing from their little 'hearts' ... but the pros here know you run that heartfelt playing through the brain filter ...
I was born at the right time for music.
Could listen to any one of these cats all day, especially Lee!
Wow.the lineup,mix and improvisation. Four legends rings,joe waddy and leland
Not just 4… All 6 are legendary!
