Didnt know Bolin was apart of the gang! Always digging for new stuff to listen to as i’m 28 and always listened to rick and roll in the car with my dad! I somhow stumbled across post toastee and lived his jamming style in that song!
I agree! Bolin, Jimi, Paul Kossoff and SRV all left us too soon. Zappa and Gary Moore both fell short of 60 but still too early. I wasn’t a big fan of Randy Rhoads but his talent was undeniable and his untimely death was tragic
Saw this lineup at Brown County Arena in Green Bay in 74 with Babe Ruth and Renaissance. A little white acid kicked in just before this song and when they burst into the melody it was one of the best songs I ever heard!!

I remember watching this for the first time.I bought "Bang" about a few weeks later played it for my friends and they all loved it.Joe walsh said Tommy was perfect for the band.
I saw the same tour in 1974 when they opened for Johnny Winter at Veterans Auditorium in Des Moines ,Iowa ! I remember Tommy and the lead singer's hair had 2 stripes of color dye and the stage lights really set it off...so glad I got to see Tommy with James Gang!
Tommy and the whole band shine so well together in this everyone shines ..Love Tommy is diggin it and in the groove such fun and serious song all at once
@@timgaines8865 Tommy's weakness was opiates not cocaine and alcohol as well I remember Norma Jean Bell saying Tommy could be so high he couldn't walk but could still tear off some scorching hot guitar licks
I love The James Gang after Joe left, they made some great music ,love every lp. The lp,s after Joe are awesome and I strongly incourage any one checking this out to check out all the music James Gang made after Walsh because it is some fantastic music. Do not get me wrong, the music with Joe was off the charts. I love Joe but I also love the Gang after. When Joe was starting out my brother helped him with his equipment on stage back in the Kent univirsity days. When he carried his stuff in a van.
My band the Dickens played the Pioneer Inn a lot in 73. I remember living on the hill and seeing Tommy around (so COOL) Anyway WE were invited to backup Charlie Musselwhite for his gig at the PI. We had to turn it down because we had another gig (by far the worst place I ever played on west colfax. What a dump) I heard It was a great show.I can only imagine.
I was 16 years old in 19 73 when I got dusted one night and I listened to the James gang album what a summer,, you could have put that night on repeat for about 2 months if you know what I mean.. I'm 66 now, and as far as I'm concerned Mr Walsh is one of the 10 best acts rock and roll as ever h a d....... Before the eagles that is
Thanks for posting. Brings back great memories of the Show I saw in Rochester MN. back in the day. POCO also played. I don't remember who the headliner was, but it didn't matter, They were both great.
Hello. I seen these guys in the fall of 73` at Allee Gymnasium in Sioux City,Ia. I was ten years old in the 5th grade at Joy School. My older half-brother asked me if I wanted to see a Rock Band. I said yes and asked what they were called? He said they are called James Gang. I knew the name from listening to his albums. I did not know who he was at that time,but I stood about 5 feet from Tommy Bolin the whole concert!!! It was AWESOME!!! I recognized several of the songs they played and remember Tommy playing a Gibson Explorer 2. I later seen him solo at the S.C. Auditorium when I was in 8th grade. Rock On! From Sioux City,Ia.

I've got teaser private eyes too ✌️ plus Bang, Come taste the band , last concert in Japan everything Bolin touched turned to gold , truly the ultimate 🤘✌️☀️
I own vinyl and CD copies of Teaser, Private Eyes, Bang and Come Taste The Band. Everything else but the Moxy album I have LP’s of. The Billy Cobham compilation 2-CD set Rudiments starts with just the 4 tracks from Spectrum that Tommy played on, plus an outtake by the same lineup called All 4 One
This version of JG 2.0 was probably the best version.Did not lose a thing at lead guitar as Bolin played cleaner and Roy Kenner could sing.My opinion this is the best JG lp.
When the Gang played Seattle for the first time my friend tried to give me and others free tickets to their concert but no one wanted them because we were all into Hendrix and the James gang was considered bubble gum pop music.
l loved The James Gang but the only two albums l had by them was The Best of the James Gang featuring Joe Walsh which had classic cuts like Funk 49 and Walk away l had on 8- track and l also had the Miami album on CD
Not that it matters, but Tommy is wearing a suit from Granny Takes A Trip. Jimi Hendrix wore Granny items, too. Both amazing talents, now gone. Keep playing their stuff!
@ottowes you are incorrect.. Tommy's girlfriend Karen Ulibarri made all of Tommy's suits beginning in 1968.. The silver lamè suit you see here, a gold lamè suit, and a red velvet suit were the three most notable of many she made for Tommy
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❤🌹🎶
Kenner/Bolin definitely changed the sound of this band. But holy cow, you still have that incredible Fox on the drums. And don't forget that Joe Walsh was NOT the first guitarist in James Gang.
Jon Mayer Please listen to the Bang and Miami albums with Bolin multiple times and give them a chance. To me they stand up better today than the JG stuff with Walsh. Different sound maybe should have changed the band name. Bolin wrote or co-wrote all of the songs on those albums of I remember
this singer sounds good in the studio, unfortunately not so good live. Walsh was good in James gang but in my honest opinion the song walk away and the album rides again were some of his best work.
@@KellenFredricksen I have heard him sing , I have his record Private eyes for over 40 years , and I have heard him sing a lot of other songs , what I said is that I have never seen him sing with my eyes.
@@sturs100 my bad, misinterpreted it. You are right though, there seems to be no film or anything of him singing now that I think about it, only audio.
James Gang , didn't want piano on their music , so Joe Walsh left and recorded Rocky Mountain Way, then they had Tommy Bolin and did not let him sing , yeah , I have made mistakes too , nobody's perfect.
Bolin's best work was the lead parts he did on the first Moxy album. The six post-Joe Walsh James Gang albums sold worse with each succeeding album. The last two albums do have 2 to 3 decent tunes on each. Only Jim and Dale from this band are on them.

I think we're seeing about a 23 year old Tommy Bolin. Amazing talent. Gawd, I wish he had lived. So good.
Agree!!

I got to see him with DeepPurple at the Terrant County Concert place back in 76.. I was 17-18
Nice to see Joe's replacement Tommy Bolin in this line up. God bless him.
I'm here because this is the anniversary of the day we lost Tommy Bolin in 1976. RIP Brother
This is the first time I've ever seen Bolin live. He was an amazing guitar player.
All of my favorite guitarists died way too young. Tommy was one of them. RIP.
I agree! Bolin, Jimi, Paul Kossoff and SRV all left us too soon. Zappa and Gary Moore both fell short of 60 but still too early. I wasn’t a big fan of Randy Rhoads but his talent was undeniable and his untimely death was tragic
Tommy was just so good.
Bang is a superb album....
THeir best by far.
Hell it is I been listening that since age 15 hell I'm 65 now
I have every James Gang album . Each one has it's own place in my memories . All good ..
´miami ´ , ´jesse come home ´ , ´new born ´
´passin thru ´, ´rides again ´, ´bang ´
´Live in concert ´ , voilà l’essentiel à posséder urgemment.
My personal fav is the bang album
Saw this lineup at Brown County Arena in Green Bay in 74 with Babe Ruth and Renaissance. A little white acid kicked in just before this song and when they burst into the melody it was one of the best songs I ever heard!!
Babe Ruth died long before '74. So...

One of my all -time favorite albums. I really liked this version of the James Gang. Tommy Bolin was amazing - will forever be missed.
Bolin was supposed to open for Jeff Beck in Tampa at Curtis Nixon, but he died the night before. Jeff Beck said they would play longer to honor him.
Saw this on TV , ran and bought Gang Bang next day .
One of the BEST ROCK songs EVER. If you can sit still during this then you're already dead
I’m glad you think so. The post-Walsh era is so underrated

Didn't know this version of the James Gang ever toured - one pf my all time favorite records
I remember watching this for the first time.I bought "Bang" about a few weeks later played it for my friends and they all loved it.Joe walsh said Tommy was perfect for the band.
This was the very first song I ever heard in concert back in January 1974 .Have the record and CD . They opened for Johnny Winter . Great show .
I saw the same tour in 1974 when they opened for Johnny Winter at Veterans Auditorium in Des Moines ,Iowa ! I remember Tommy and the lead singer's hair had 2 stripes of color dye and the stage lights really set it off...so glad I got to see Tommy with James Gang!
Can't imagine seeing this great James Gang lineup then have a cretin like Winter as the headliner. I'd have left after JG.
@@BrianAdams-dt1ks I had albums from both bands and enjoyed Johhny Winter!
Tommy and the whole band shine so well together in this everyone shines ..Love Tommy is diggin it and in the groove such fun and serious song all at once
Cocaine is a hellofa drug!
@@timgaines8865 Tommy's weakness was opiates not cocaine and alcohol as well I remember Norma Jean Bell saying Tommy could be so high he couldn't walk but could still tear off some scorching hot guitar licks
Tommy Bolin is dressed in the white suit ... a class act
Excellent live performance!!! Go Tommy!!
I saw them in 1974 at Winterland in San Francisco with Slade and 10 Years After.
Still have this album! Still rock out with it! Still have everyone ask me who it is because they LOVE it :D

Geht gut ab. Gott sei Dank bin ich 1974 schon 17 Jahre alt gewesen und habe die Rockmusik dieses Jahrzentes voll genießen können.
Geile Zeit.
Sioux city's son. Forever young.
Tommy Bolin!! Love the band on this album. Great stuff! Killing!

I hope the lead singer is still rocking the same mullet to this day.

Tommy Bolin was a God ! Teasar is probably the best Rock n Roll album in all of history. If somehow you are not familiar with it. Buy it now !
Agreed!
I've got teaser private eyes too ✌️ plus Bang, Come taste the band , last concert in Japan everything Bolin touched turned to gold , truly the ultimate 🤘✌️☀️
Zepher as well

Tommy Bolin !!!
Tommy Bolin!
When I was a kid back in the early mid 80’s I bought BANG and MIAMI at a discount vinyl shop. Love those albums. Under rated for sure.
My name is Andrew Struzyk.
Let me tell you, I think that this band has been so "overlooked", and yet,
SO AWESOME !!!
Tommy Bollin....the legends
Thank you very much for tommy and games gang
Meu ídolo na música, o inesquecível e maravilhoso Tommy Bolin.
Love this james gang group. Tommy bolin and Toronto Canadas own roy kinner my dads good friend. Roy also played with roy kinner and the associates.
Tommy Bolin and Candy Givings hung out looking for record's at local Boulder head shops and Final outlets..seen him many times with Zepher and Energy
This version of JG 2.0 was probably the best version.Did not lose a thing at lead guitar as Bolin played cleaner and Roy Kenner could sing.My opinion this is the best JG lp.
This would be 3.0 as Tommy replaced guitarist Don Torijano who replaced Walsh
When the Gang played Seattle for the first time my friend tried to give me and others free tickets to their concert but no one wanted them because we were all into Hendrix and the James gang was considered bubble gum pop music.
thanks for sharing it, mate!
Tommy,,,,the ultimate!
Cet album est génial j'ai le vinyle de Bang, avec Tommy Bolin j'adore
were front row in des moines, right in front of Bolin, opening for Johnny Winter...Dec 27 1973
Cliff Note so were we Jan 9 1974, they opened also for Johnny !!
It's a shame that this is the only live footage of this James Gang we can enjoy.
I wish we had more!
I am grateful we at least have this.
l loved The James Gang but the only two albums l had by them was The Best of the James Gang featuring Joe Walsh which had classic cuts like Funk 49 and Walk away l had on 8- track and l also had the Miami album on CD
Yep! Even smells like the 70's.
awesome 👍
This was a fantastic lineup when Tommy Bolin was recommended by Joe Walsh.
Looks like Tommy is loveing it
Not that it matters, but Tommy is wearing a suit from Granny Takes A Trip. Jimi Hendrix wore Granny items, too. Both amazing talents, now gone. Keep playing their stuff!
Never heard of Granny Takes A Trip. Will check it out. Thanks. His girlfriend, Karen Ulibarri, made a gold lamé suit for him.
@ottowes you are incorrect.. Tommy's girlfriend Karen Ulibarri made all of Tommy's suits beginning in 1968.. The silver lamè suit you see here, a gold lamè suit, and a red velvet suit were the three most notable of many she made for Tommy
Mountain Chief That is what I heard as well. I think it’s mentioned in the Touched By Magic book about Bolin too
seen them in Portland Oregon in 1970
VERY GOODOLD ONE..........................................
james gang were a good american rock band... and nothing more.
yum yum music
This is probably where Van Halen came from in terms of music. Same pop stuff with good guitar work.

The James Gang
"Standing In The Rain"
Bang
Atco Records, 1974
Tommy is great
ACOUSTIC 360s!!!!!!
Tommy Bolin as a SuperNova !!!!
If they had a better singer.
With Tommy Bolin, no way ! Not too filmed performances of him. A great guitarist, would have been a huge star if he had lived.
Bolin taking advantage of a good thing. So far above the situation.
Kenner/Bolin definitely changed the sound of this band. But holy cow, you still have that incredible Fox on the drums. And don't forget that Joe Walsh was NOT the first guitarist in James Gang.
Who was the 1st guitarist in James Gang? I take it they never released a record with him though.
@@1alwayswired .. Ronnie Silverman and Greg Grandillo
Tommy was a great guitarist, Kenner sucked..
Jon Mayer Please listen to the Bang and Miami albums with Bolin multiple times and give them a chance. To me they stand up better today than the JG stuff with Walsh. Different sound maybe should have changed the band name. Bolin wrote or co-wrote all of the songs on those albums of I remember
Jon Mayer fair comment😎
Saw these guys with Be Bop Deluxe and The Edgar Winter Band....in Roanoke, Va
Another great underrated guitar player , Bob Nelson of Be Bop Deluxe .
Sorry I meant Bill Nelson . The wacky tabbacky will do that to a person sometimes .
At last! Some really hard rocking from a talented bandγεια σου ρε μπουγατσουπολη!!
Only Tommy Bolin, can get a Les Paul sound out of a Strat. .🎸🎶🎵👍
Joe quit and moved to Colorado to start his solo career,saw Bolin out there and recommended him for his replacement...Great choice.
Still the best days of the James Gang were with Walsh. This singer doesn't cut it. Bolin was good though.

They had great LSD in those days.

No Joe no go.
Joe Walsh ate this singer for lunch while singing and playing guitar at the same time..
Definitely not the James Gang’s proudest moment.

why's Mr. Kenner not giving it his all like on the album? It sounds like karaoke...
Dude whats with the hair ?
Hahahaah! Roadies hanging on to the speaker cabs (4:26) so that Kenner doesn't take a fall and look goofy… well, make that MORE goofy :D

Please tell me you're kidding.
