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.
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.

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.

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!
Didn’t really realize it, but, watching Ringo over the past several years with the ease with what she plays the drums blows my mind. He is so relaxed, and his ultimate simplicity is ultimate sophistication if your musician, and you watch him for a while, and begin to analyze what he’s doing. you’re amazing Ringo What an honor to live and experience your journey with you. Thanks for the lessons over the years. ❤ Paul PS Joe Walsh your guitar improv and vocal improv is beautiful.
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!
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👋👋♥️
Wow, Ringo' brings together great performers like this!. Everyone was in the groove and it looks like they had a blast though out that take! Joe and Waddy especially on guitars.Lee Sklar could have been in :Lord of the Rings" he is certainly a wizard on Bass! Benmont on keyboards was awesome and other commenters already pointed out how well Ringo and Russ play drums together.
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
@@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.
Just occurred to me: this is in a way a merging of talents from The Beatles/Eagles/Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers/Linda Ronstadt/Jackson Browne/James Gang/Rolling Stones/Stevie Nicks and so many more
th-cam.com/video/zo0vBdlWQs0/w-d-xo.html This is the video in question above. This pretty much sums up my point. Jimmy Fox is kind of sludgy, a little sloppy, plenty heavy and suits the sound of the band perfectly. Enjoy!
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!
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.
Great Jam session!. You can't go wrong with the rhythm section of Ringo, Russ Kunkel and Lee Sklar! Did Ringo find a fountain of youth? The guy looks about 40!
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.

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.
As a Vietnam War vet (1970), thanks for what you and others do with vetsaid Joe. As a vet just to know you are not forgotten is a big deal, very big. I absolutely love the jam session, excellent. It will be going into my favorites.
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.
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.
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 ...
"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!
I love the experience here! These guys just KNOW what they’re doing. They’re beyond having to be the center of attention so everything is tight with nobody showboating.
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!
Aside from Joe & Ringo, this group is a who's-who of A-list backing musicians. Between them, these guys have played on butt-ton of hit recordings and backed up some of the biggest names that most everyone has heard of (Tom Petty, Stevie Nicks, Warren Zevon, Fleetwood Mac, Jackson Browne, James Taylor, Neil Young, Rolling Stones, Phil Collins to name a few).
@@mikenelson3338 Leland Sklar (bass ) has backed up Stevie Nicks, Jackson Browne & Phil Collins & James Taylor Benmont Tench (keys) was Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers keyboardist from the very beginning. I know he's also played on some Sheryl Crow recordings and others Waddy Wachtel (guitar) was played with Warren Zevon, Stevie Nicks, Linda Ronstadt and Rolling Stones Russ Kunkel (drums) backed up Jackson Browne, Neil Young, James Taylor That's just a sampling for each. I know there's lots more. Google their names. I guarantee you'll find other stuff for all of them.
I've loved this song since it was released (and have the vinyl.) This is my new favorite version. When your backing musicians have been honing their chops for 50 years, magic happens. Ringo and Russ are two kits, four hands, and one controlling mind. Their synchronization is effortless. Joe and Waddy have complimentary styles, and fit together perfectly. I don't think Leland has met a bass part in over 40 years he couldn't play exactly as required by the song, first take And who else besides Benmont would you get to play keyboards? Leland talked about this session on his Vlog. Walsh is apparently a trip in person, and all concerned had a ball playing on this. This is one of those sessions where I'd really want to be a fly on the wall watching and listening. I'm willing to bet they did a run through, just to sort out who would do what, when, and then it was "first take live" because they are good enough to _do_ that. EDIT: Poking around a bit more, _no_ run through. They were noodling in the studio, Joe started playing the Funk 49 intro, and everyone said "We know that song!" and started playing on it. No rehearsal. No figuring out what their parts had to be. They just played it perfectly because they've been doing it for 50 years. This session is a master class in how it's done.

Brother Joe... the fingers are getting a little stiff but he still has the touch. Fantastic sound mixing (!) For an octogenarian Ringo can still bang the skins too. Could Waddy be playing a Les Paul alpine white Studio? Can't tell for sure because the camera guy never focused on the headstock (meh). If so way to go Waddy, playing a working man's LP.
Oh man, I can't believe only 616 "LIKES." This should hit over the "Million" hits. Young people need to hear classic R&B and great old school CLASSIC rock songs.
It's amazing how they get something so complex and lengthy synchronized to such perfection. Those guys each know where they and the others are going to a T. And after all their hard work, we get to peek in and see it all come together, without even paying a ticket price! Thanks so much, guys. Stellar! On so many levels.
Joe Walsh & Waddy Wachtel playing together! Both of them have loooong histories of duo guitar work, Joe w/the Eagles & Waddy w/Ronstadt. Considering that the Eagles were Linda's backup band before Waddy, Andrew Gold et al. took over we ought to say a big "thank you" to Linda.

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!
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? 🤣
I want more!!! Don't tell me these great musicians just came together for one song!! Great stuff!!!
Didn’t really realize it, but, watching Ringo over the past several years with the ease with what she plays the drums blows my mind. He is so relaxed, and his ultimate simplicity is ultimate sophistication if your musician, and you watch him for a while, and begin to analyze what he’s doing. you’re amazing Ringo What an honor to live and experience your journey with you. Thanks for the lessons over the years.
❤

PS Joe Walsh your guitar improv and vocal improv is beautiful.
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"
Ringo is the Dorian Grey of Rock! He hasn’t aged in 50 years. He’s 80 and tight as ever!
I think Ringo touches up his hair just a bit.
Peace and Love Bro, Peace and Love.....
@@SWog617 yeah, but who cares. He is awesome. 80 is the new 50!!! LOL
81
@@SWog617 he was “touching up his hair” in the 60’s too.
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.
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!!!!
That was frigging amazing! Senior rockers gone wild!
50 years of rock n’ roll personified.
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👋👋♥️
This is what a combined tens of thousands of hours in a studio will get you.
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.
Now that's a jam. Everybody there having a great time and letting the music just flow. That's how it's done kids.
Wow, Ringo' brings together great performers like this!. Everyone was in the groove and it looks like they had a blast though out that take! Joe and Waddy especially on guitars.Lee Sklar could have been in :Lord of the Rings" he is certainly a wizard on Bass! Benmont on keyboards was awesome and other commenters already pointed out how well Ringo and Russ play drums together.
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!
Great balanced mix, and obviously epic players. Leland’s bass lines….
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!
There’s something that always fascinates me about 2 drummers playing together & keeping exact time with each other.
Like watching a machine.
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
And Joe almost always has 2 drummers, love it!
@@Bluesbabesrv And the other Joe as in Bonamassa has used 2 drummers in the past.
It only adds value if one stays like a metronome and other does creative fills but most twins don't show that much.
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.
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, ! ! !
Yeah!!!!!!!! The Immediate Family Cats with Ringo and Joe Walsh! It doesn’t get better than this!
Wonderful! Mr Sklar's bass is so cool.
Leland Sklar's amazing skill and versatility!
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.
Just occurred to me: this is in a way a merging of talents from The Beatles/Eagles/Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers/Linda Ronstadt/Jackson Browne/James Gang/Rolling Stones/Stevie Nicks and so many more
Yep!! These guys have serious resumes
James Taylor’s band as well
Good catch , these are real pros
Don’t forget Warren Zevon
But itl all started with the Beatles.
Ive never seen a more relaxed bass player in my life 😂
I think that’s Lee skylar, someone correct me if wrong
@@debomb721 ...
It is.
A phenomenal bass player !
Lee is absolute legend
@@ric66fbAw shit, I’ve gotten word that’s not Leland Sklar, that’s his evil twin brother Ski-land by car
Love Ringo and is my favorite drummer but this shows how important Jimmy Fox was to the sound of the James Gang. He was a heavy hitter on the skins.
Jimmy Fox was great. There's a live cut of Walk Away out there where he goes off on the kit just rocks it. Some of the fills he uses are pure genius.
Very true , however you do realize this is not Jimmy on the second drum kit , It's legendary drummer Russ Kunkle.
@@paullevine1813 pretty sure the OP means you miss Jimmy here, not that it showcases him
@@paullevine1813 yeah I know.
th-cam.com/video/zo0vBdlWQs0/w-d-xo.html
This is the video in question above.
This pretty much sums up my point.
Jimmy Fox is kind of sludgy, a little sloppy, plenty heavy and suits the sound of the band perfectly.
Enjoy!
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).
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.
Great Jam session!. You can't go wrong with the rhythm section of Ringo, Russ Kunkel and Lee Sklar! Did Ringo find a fountain of youth? The guy looks about 40!
It's called dye job!
Scary how good he looks!
@@davehallock3656 George called it “varnish.” 😂
He looks so young that I have my doubts that it's actually Ringo.
@@jbred6049 It's Zak,s son, Ringo Jr.
Quite the lineup of talent! These guys are responsible for some of the most famous tracks in rock and roll.
Everyone of them has deep history and monster hits as leads or as backing players.
Let’s all take a moment to appreciate the talent that is Lee sklar in this video! Slap bass
The GOATS still can show the kids how it’s done!💖
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.
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
Jeezus! 80+ Ringo looks like he’s not a day over 35!! What the hell is he……a vampire!! LOL! 🎉
Leland Sklar is just the BEST ever!!!!!!!!
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👋👋💖
A damn good tune played by many of the finest musicians Ever.
Great jam! Special mention to Lee Sklar bass grooves. Amazing
whoever mixed this or just flat out recorded it did an amazing job . everything is crisp
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.
Russ , Ringo and Leland. That is one killer rhythm section!
Don’t forget Waddy!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ringo is 80+ here - let that sink in!
Ringo is always right in the pocket. Perfect timing.
Awesome version. Glad I am a senior citizen to have music like this to listen to.
This is awesome . Ringo hasn't aged since the 60's . As for Joe and the other guys playing this already brilliant song they have made it even better
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.
As a Vietnam War vet (1970), thanks for what you and others do with vetsaid Joe. As a vet just to know you are not forgotten is a big deal, very big. I absolutely love the jam session, excellent. It will be going into my favorites.
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
Now that's what I'm talking about! Hell yeah.thank you!!!!!
Ringo doesn't look 1 day over 35!
Ringo looking young and healthy. Playing just as good as ever. So happy to see it.
Right where the guitar falls,Ringo n friend keep rithym in beauty & fashion & modern man style this song is very macho..
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!
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 ...
And that, kids, is rock and roll.
"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
you can hear it again and again it’s always fantastic👍👍👍👍
I Saw Joe Walsh and Russ Kunkel play in Norwalk CT.AWSOME SHOW!!! M.O'B
I've listened to JOE for years but LELAND is just too cool awesome bass player makes it look easy coming from an old bass player myself
I love the experience here! These guys just KNOW what they’re doing. They’re beyond having to be the center of attention so everything is tight with nobody showboating.
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!!!
Aside from Joe & Ringo, this group is a who's-who of A-list backing musicians. Between them, these guys have played on butt-ton of hit recordings and backed up some of the biggest names that most everyone has heard of (Tom Petty, Stevie Nicks, Warren Zevon, Fleetwood Mac, Jackson Browne, James Taylor, Neil Young, Rolling Stones, Phil Collins to name a few).
Please name them. I need to know.
@@mikenelson3338 Leland Sklar (bass ) has backed up Stevie Nicks, Jackson Browne & Phil Collins & James Taylor
Benmont Tench (keys) was Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers keyboardist from the very beginning. I know he's also played on some Sheryl Crow recordings and others
Waddy Wachtel (guitar) was played with Warren Zevon, Stevie Nicks, Linda Ronstadt and Rolling Stones
Russ Kunkel (drums) backed up Jackson Browne, Neil Young, James Taylor

Too two and to people sure get those mixed up 😂
Yes it sounds great 👍
I've loved this song since it was released (and have the vinyl.) This is my new favorite version.
When your backing musicians have been honing their chops for 50 years, magic happens. Ringo and Russ are two kits, four hands, and one controlling mind. Their synchronization is effortless. Joe and Waddy have complimentary styles, and fit together perfectly. I don't think Leland has met a bass part in over 40 years he couldn't play exactly as required by the song, first take And who else besides Benmont would you get to play keyboards?
Leland talked about this session on his Vlog. Walsh is apparently a trip in person, and all concerned had a ball playing on this. This is one of those sessions where I'd really want to be a fly on the wall watching and listening. I'm willing to bet they did a run through, just to sort out who would do what, when, and then it was "first take live" because they are good enough to _do_ that.
EDIT: Poking around a bit more, _no_ run through. They were noodling in the studio, Joe started playing the Funk 49 intro, and everyone said "We know that song!" and started playing on it. No rehearsal. No figuring out what their parts had to be. They just played it perfectly because they've been doing it for 50 years. This session is a master class in how it's done.
Where do you find his Vlog?!?!

Ringo and Leland tell everyone “you guys do what you want to do, we are setting the speed limit.” Damn, there is to much to say about a jam like this. Great charity…. Love that Sklar shoulder roll.
WB6ACU - KJ7HOG "break". THIS is beautiful thing. As a "BRAT" and a veteran and fan from day one we recognize that you and your assemblage of Masters have given of yourselves like few others. This Jam envelopes us with your greatness and love. This session is my goto road jam, looped infinitely. 💜🪖
Brother Joe... the fingers are getting a little stiff but he still has the touch. Fantastic sound mixing (!) For an octogenarian Ringo can still bang the skins too. Could Waddy be playing a Les Paul alpine white Studio? Can't tell for sure because the camera guy never focused on the headstock (meh). If so way to go Waddy, playing a working man's LP.
Oh man, I can't believe only 616 "LIKES." This should hit over the "Million" hits. Young people need to hear classic R&B and great old school CLASSIC rock songs.

Joe Walsh & Waddy Wachtel playing together! Both of them have loooong histories of duo guitar work, Joe w/the Eagles & Waddy w/Ronstadt. Considering that the Eagles were Linda's backup band before Waddy, Andrew Gold et al. took over we ought to say a big "thank you" to Linda.
