"I do not remember much of the 70s but it was easer to be 20 in the 70s then it is to be 70 in the 20s". Quote from Joe Walsh. I feel the same way at 69 this year.
While he aint wrong, Charles is a good example of some kid acting like he knows anything at all. (that was sarcasm btw, cuz at 82, he's not a kid. Feel I have to explain that these days, cuz there ARE kids watching this, and no doubt there's gonna be that ONE that says I bullied an old man.)
lol cracks me up how every generation always swears their generation had the 'best' or most 'real' music. Eagles and Joe Walsh are great, as was Melvins, Nirvana and Soundgarden, the Strokes and the Walkmen, Grizzly Bear, Black Keys and IDLES. There's tons of great rock, punk and post punk these days, but if you don't care to search out new and great music then it's understandable why you'd think rock music died 50 years ago. Don't be so closed minded :)
Well, see .... I grew up in the 70s, and I thought I knew the song word for word, but it seems I was wrong.... I always thought it was, "I have a limo, ride in the back, I lock the doors in case I'm attacked," but I just now found out that it's, "I have a limo, ride in the trunk, I lock the doors in case I get drunk."
I don’t think people truly know how much of a genius he is. He has this fun goofy playful persona that can mislead the casual fan how good of singer - player - entertainer he is. Killer.
I've heard his songs the 44 years I've been on this Earth but it wasn't til YT started recently putting him in my "recommendations" that I realized how right you are. Killer indeed!
So right! I've loved him since I first heard Rocky Mountain Way. Killer, indeed! Les Paul was a fan of Joe's, too. 🎸 I last saw him open- great as ever- for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers on Tom's last tour... 💔 ✌
My dad raised me on this musical genre- as being a kid born in the 70s early 70s. My dad was so into this kind of music. We were introduced to at a young age to bands such as Pink Floyd rush, the Eagles, Led Zeppelin, steely Dan, the doors. I still have some of his 8 tracks to this day. he was so open to new kinds of music - music that I really loved too the alternative scene, grunge, dark wave, new wave. He was willing to listen to it and learn from it and really supportive of my musical interests as well. He passed away a few years ago and these songs remind me of him so much . Miss you dad and I love you!
Dude, if you are in Canada or several US states, you can purchase and “carry in” all manner of drugs that are legal and much stronger than way back then.
I love this song 🎵 ❤️ and Joe Walsh ❤️ ♥️ 💕. This song takes me back to my teenage years when I was having fun and enjoying myself and partying with my friends.
Harvey Mandel is still with us but is having health issues. A very young Eddie Van Halen went and saw him in the late 60s and his jaw dropped. That's where Eddie learned his tricks
This was the first album (8-track) I ever bought with money I earned sacking groceries at the local grocery store. It's just as good now as it was back then! Joe Walsh is and will always be a top-shelf performer in my world. Thanks JOE you totally rock!
Summer before freshman year of hs my best bud showed me this song and lots of music like this. I lost him to alcoholism but til this day i think of the summer nights drinking beer and jamming with him whenever i play this song.
I found Lifes been Good quite overplayed on the radio throughout the years ..but also found myself watching this entire performance. Just cant deny the song's catchiness and crafty guitar playing of mr. Walsh.
I’ve never seen Joe live, but from watching these old clips it seems like he made each and every performance a unique experience. Didn’t just go through the motions. Such a legend.
I can only imagine how mesmerized the crowd was during this performance at this venue at that time. Such a fun song. Satire and reality lyrics combined with funky ass rock.
I saw Joe Walsh play at the Light Up the Blues concert a few months ago. When he played this song I was completely hypnotized - no joke! I remember snapping into the zone once he started playing the opening riff. It was perfect.
Waaay overrated, played with some bird band also, the dodos or something like that. Maybe the falcons, or frigates, anyway, hes from a time when musicians were addicts
My first concert was JOe WaLsh at the Beacon Theater in New York in the mid 80's. I was maybe fifteen. My friends older brother brought us there. We were a few rows back center. I am lucky to have had the experience.
The same power anybody feels after being able to do anything really well. Pick something to get good at, then get good at it, and never do it for free.
Even those of us who have played guitar for years have no idea. His skill is the tip of the iceberg. The quality/power/wattage/volume of the guitar and amps, all in front of thousands of people singing/dancing along to your song, is something few people in the world have experienced. Knowing Joe, he was zooted out of his gourd on top of it. I bet it's a wonderful feeling!
Always like Joe Walsh he has a good sound to his voice I was born in 1963 life has been good to me so far I would like to get in a Maserati that does 185 I think I'll put that on my bucket list great song I'm going back to the music now
Joe's level of inebriation is so high during this performance that most people wouldn't even be able to stand upright... let alone pull of a performance of this magnitude. The dude's from another planet.
@@LoveABun The documentary The History of the Eagles made this period of time for him obvious, he was in bad shape and probably would have died if the Eagles hadn't got back together and put him into rehab. There is enough footage to make this concert a certainty that he was probably three sheets to the wind. But....he was functional as many of us were after years of rocking in the free world. Chances are it was probably cocaine as getting too drunk just causes too much physical challenges, maybe high on Cocaine and a bit drunk...../me shivers to think about people that combine their demons. Just how many died in the bathtub moments do we have to be a part of? Personally I appreciate you having Joe's back on this. Some things are better left buried and he is sober now.
Yeah Joe Walsh is one of the greatest rock guitarists ever and it's no fluke that he's had a pretty good solo career with some very good songs in the last few years 😊😅😮😂❤😊
Where did the time go to... I remember like yesterday listening to the James Gang and like many other fledgling guitar players, trying to emulate Joe Walsh and garage bands, music careers and now 73... where has it gone?
I was lucky enough to catch the If I Were President concert at Mile Square Park in Fountain Valley on July 4th 1990. before the Eagles reunited. Looked like hell. Incredible performance.
My high school football coach cranked this up in the locker room as we were getting dressed for each game. We had a lot of fun and had only one loss that year. We should have gone undefeated.
Favorite single is Funk 49, I've wanted to hear that tune at least every few weeks for years and years. I could listen to whole The Confessor album again and again - it brings the good memories and the good feeling comes with it. Love ya, Joe
Michael McLoughlin Joe is fantastic, last time I saw him was 2016 In Lancaster, PA. First time was at "The concert for Peace" at Shea Stadium, August of 1970 or maybe in Flushing Meadow opening for Edgar Winter (He was in "The James gang" then) It's really hard to remember back to 1970. I turned 19 that year- I wish I could turn 19 again, it was a lot of fun.

He’s no Dave Gilmore 😅 but loved the Eagles with the Don’s. Joe is living life off it, as he sings.
@@kevinfairclough4619 and he probably doesn't want to be Dave Gilmore! Joe Walsh for president
No music today compares to the music back then, even my grand kids listen to it.
Yes indeed Mr. Fix.
That's because you're old and live in the past. And its no wonder our youth hate old people. The have nothing to offer. Nobody wants you
You should explore more modern rock/punk if you think nothing compares.
"I can't complain but sometimes I still do." - one of the greatest lyrics ever.
Shit lyric. Eagles suck
I read this comment as he sang it. Feel complete 🤌
love absurdist lines in pop musick.
Totally agree, in fact this whole song is a series of the best one line lyrics ever
I say this all the time now 😂
Watch and listen closely kids. This is how rock and roll is done.

8 minutes of old school rocker bliss. You know they're the real deal when the live version beats the studio version.
no, thank YOU, JOE!

It's absolutely remarkable that a man could write a song like this only a few years after the tragic death of his 3 year old daughter ❤❤
Back then you could go to a concert, sneak in anything you wanted and walk anywhere you wanted. Those were great days and gone now.
I know it was party heaven thanks
We went over the fence at Woodstock ‘69!✌️☮️🕊️❤
Lol you can still do those things at most concerts. Not saying this isn't awesome.
And now you can sit in your doctors waiting room and watch the old footage of those old concerts for free.

Haha Jammies
Saw the eagles in 2022….Walsh broke this song out…..still sounds perfect! Both playing and his voice….
Saw the Eagles about 10yrs ago, same thing, crowd was really into this tune
Joe Walsh is a genius. James Gang were one of the best rock bands of the 70s.
My college roommate was a big fan in 68-69. I couldn't see it. Shows what I knew.
Wow, amazing that was 40 years ago and I was there to witness this amazement. Damn I feel old.

1983 - the birth of MTV! I love how this is a rockstar performance and a skewering of old school rockstar attitudes.
Summer before freshman year of hs my best bud showed me this song and lots of music like this. I lost him to alcoholism but til this day i think of the summer nights drinking beer and jamming with him whenever i play this song.
One of the first guitar riffs/openings I learned when I finally found my footing as a guitarist... bless you, Joe, you crazy bastard. ❤❤
I've never comprehended how I can barely play the guitar sober, but some men can go onstage wasted and not only play, but pull off a whole set.
20 years on the road with a few different bands and most of my money went into expenses like food, shelter, fuel for the bus- and ‘fuel’ for the band!
I found Lifes been Good quite overplayed on the radio throughout the years

I’ve never seen Joe live, but from watching these old clips it seems like he made each and every performance a unique experience. Didn’t just go through the motions. Such a legend.
He was a free spirit when he came to our town about six years ago. He was with the Eagles and seemed to be having the time of his life.
just saw him live in his 70s and still brought the same energy and skill as when he was 30
The quality of this song being sung live, outside is primo! Absolutely stunning!
I can only imagine how mesmerized the crowd was during this performance at this venue at that time. Such a fun song. Satire and reality lyrics combined with funky ass rock.
Sounds corny but on a hot sunny day this song still gives me some good bumps Ya know Friday end of the day your ripping home and this comes on. Man.
Don't forget the Reg Gay.
I was there great fun
This song was already 5 or 6 yrs old by 83.
I saw Joe Walsh play at the Light Up the Blues concert a few months ago. When he played this song I was completely hypnotized - no joke! I remember snapping into the zone once he started playing the opening riff. It was perfect.
Mister Joe Walsh an American treasure!
Our musical treasures r becoming fewer and more dear.
My first concert was James Gang in 71…. Mins as only 11 (big brother took me)….been a fan ever sense….glad he’s still at it too…rock on Joe!
I love that synth section so much.
Just saw Joe Walsh in Vegas - he was in town to check out the new Sphere. At 75 he looks good!
He was so locked in with his drummer.

I haven’t heard this song in 40 years or more. I remember when it was released and we all instantly loved it. Still do!

Never learned to play the guitar but I gave it a good day or two. I can't imagine the power he feels by playing so well.
The same power anybody feels after being able to do anything really well. Pick something to get good at, then get good at it, and never do it for free.
I gave it a couple months, I'm a puss. we coulda, shoulda, . I t was cuz I was afraid of all fame and $$ yeah, yeah that's it, that why I quit
Even those of us who have played guitar for years have no idea. His skill is the tip of the iceberg. The quality/power/wattage/volume of the guitar and amps, all in front of thousands of people singing/dancing along to your song, is something few people in the world have experienced.
