I saw him play once, and never have I heard a guitar tuned like he did! He rolled the string off, then up right into the note , and you could hear the tubes in the amp all lining up...phenomenal ears, amazing !
In the 70's at SF, Winterland they had no sound ordnance or curfew for groups to playing. Many played until the crowd thinned out at 2 am. Deep Purple was the loudest I ever heard.
Man i was there .that weekend changed my life..what a great time to be young and alive. Barely made it out of there after day 2...couldnt hang for day 3 ..too fucked up.. but here i am 41 years later still rockin it
@@richardsuarez2146 Hear ya brother. Been lost or stranded in more than one parking lot. They we're great times. Just took the wife to see Ted Nugent and we had a blast. Funny thing I expected hell raiser heaven in the parking lot but it was a bunch of people our age chilling smokin and laughing.. had a blast.
Simply one of the best rock songs and guitar riffs ever (and slide! a lot of the time.) Thanks for posting, I’ve never seen this live version before and it’s brilliant.
@@joewalsh6633Just want to thank you so much for the ongoing inspiration sir. Music is the most powerful energy in the universe, going through some rough waters at the moment, but as long as I have my Les Paul, a decent amp and these songs, it’s all I really need in life 🙌💯🎸❤️
Saw him with the Eagles , Folsum field in Boulder Colo. 78 or 79 (can't remember now LOL) It was one of the old Colorado Sun days. Multiple bands, place was packed even the field (where we were) . You will never hear a louder rendition of a song than this one when played with a Colorado crowd . Fun times :)
The great Joe Vitale on drums check out this drummers solo album “roller coaster weekend”. He quit his gig with Ted Nugent to join Barnstorm, Walsh’s new band! In 73’
I remember rocky moutain way when I was a child in the early seventies my big brother had this album. I was so excited and intriged by it. It sounded so cool. Joe has always been one of my favorite guitar players ever.
Your song “just leave a message maybe I’ll call. Hits my heart. So proud of your sobriety. I have a short time but your music keeps me going one day at a time. Thank you. My amends to my mother are not working out so good. I could use your prayers and help. I have a higher power…it is music. Keep going please. Xoxo
Blessings with yours recovery, and remember--all you can do is to make the apologies; it's up to those to whom you apologize to accept or not. As my sponsor used to say, "You can only clean your side of the street." Prayers already in progress for you...
Joe did need the Eagles and the Eagles needed him. He’s still with us today because of Glenn, Don, Don, & Timothy B. And the world would not be the same without the Joe & Don acoustic intro and version of Hotel California on Hell Freezes Over.
Joe is so cool ! Thankful he survived many near fatalities over his career , and turned his life around - I think he became a born again Christian , and he has given thanks and glory to God because of his sobriety . The good Lord has delivered many of us , myself included . I remember listening to Joe give an interview about “Rocky Mountain Way “ - he said if he knew he would’ve had to play that song 5,000 times , he wouldn’t have written it ! Pretty funny hearing him say that . Thanks for many decades of pleasing your fans Joe ! Love ya brother !
Fantastic guitarist and zany fellow too! One of my most memorable moments in a 30+ year ham radio "career" was the night I heard this unmistakable voice on the 80 or 40 meter band I was tuned into....heard the callsign and first name so I looked it up in the database: sure enough, THE Joe Walsh gabbing with his pals. And he was FUNNY!!! Walsh being an extra class operator and myself a general class, the section of the band he was operating on was outside my privileges. Could only listen in to him!!! 😢
Oh, so very good is this performance. --[1] On today, 12/9/23, it's hard to believe that this concert was 40 years ago. --[2] Questions: a) At what festival was this concert? b) Who are the good bass player & especially the really strong drummer? --[c] Who is the hot babe background singer? Today, 12/9/23, she is probably a 70-year-old grandma with 10 grandchildren. 😲😲😁👍 --[3] We saw Joe & the Eagles in Nov 2022, here in New Orleans. The best non-vocal line of this Hotel California Eagles concert was Joe's line: "You know? It was better for me to be in my 20s in the 70s, than to be 75 in the 20s." Being 75, one year younger than Joe, Joe was so very correct. 🤣😂😁😁 Richard
Joe Walsh didn't need the Eagles the Eagles needed Joe Walsh!❤🎉
Agreed.
Nailed it
Walsh war nie besser als mit James Gang und auf seinen frühen Soloalben!
Damn straight!
Agreed. The Eagles were a great band already but Walsh made them Legendary!
One of the best in the 70's and still alive.
Totally agree!
The older I get and the more live performances I see for him, the more I think Joe Walsh might be the most underrated guitarist of all time.
He was always one of my favourites. he can sing too.
Thanks for your brilliant observation. Who would guess it?
True the best often unsung heroes eg Rory Gallagher the GOAT blues rock guitarist performer live
This version of Rocky mountain Way sucked! ‼️
Joe Vitale is rock solid on the drums!!!
Love Joe Vitale!😂
No one can count to 4 like him.
."life's been good to me so far"...........and rightly deserved Joe !!
One of the best musicians in my lifetime.
Love Joe! Met him at Woodstock 94 chillin with regular folk. The greatest!! Joe Walsh for President!!!
I remember that..."Joe Walsh For President". Didn't think anyone remembered it.
@@johnmccree8941 I wanna be Vice President! Vote for ME!
Joe didn't need the Eagles.
Nope! They needed him!! Lol
The hell he didnt
@@j.alexander4948 Joe Walsh was a well established solo artist prior to joining in 1975.
Walsh could have survived without The Eagles, but they both benefited immensely
@@senorxrey6429 totally agree.
Feeling not only the music but also the vibe/s. This guy knows how to be a rockstar.
Before the Eagles , there was Joe Walsh.. / the James gang
Barnstorm from the 70's. Was the first time I saw Walsh play SF, Winterland. A friend had the album that was the first I heard of Joe Walsh.
James gang w Tommy Bolin no less.
“The smoker you drink the player you get”album is my favorite Walsh set of songs!
I saw him play once, and never have I heard a guitar tuned like he did! He rolled the string off, then up right into the note , and you could hear the tubes in the amp all lining up...phenomenal ears, amazing !

Joe is a Rock and Roll God, hands down!!! He did when still getting stoned...
What a dumb comment,,,,
The Man the Musician and the Legend - Joe Walsh. We love ya brother thanks Joe!! 83 was prime time for Joe.
Man i was there .that weekend changed my life..what a great time to be young and alive. Barely made it out of there after day 2...couldnt hang for day 3 ..too fucked up.. but here i am 41 years later still rockin it

I've got two words for you Don Henley ... Joe fuukin Walsh !! Thanks to Dennis Leary for those words of wisdom !
Simply one of the best rock songs and guitar riffs ever (and slide! a lot of the time.) Thanks for posting, I’ve never seen this live version before and it’s brilliant.
Joe Walsh for president!
Regular guy who rocked the world 🌍
Average ordinary guy
I ❤ Joe ! He is one of the best guitarist ever !!!
Jeff Beck too….
@@cherylfitch3183 R.I.P. Jeff Beck amazing guitarist. Sure glad I was able to see him.
Walsh is a force of nature.
I love this song!!! Joe Walsh is excellent!!
I look out at the audience & the musicians on stage, & all I can say is...My people! Everyone was skinny & very mellow! What happened America?
playstation, iphones, fast food, cable tv, etc. Less outdoor time.
We all got fat, cranky and intolerant of each other.
Elections happened, duh
People threw in the towel during the Covid shutdown.
It's called inflation or some other political bullshit
At 53yrs old I still get up an have to dance to his music. You are one of the greatest...
GOOD THING IS...
THE SONG NEVER
GETS OLD 😁
JUST US IS ALL 😢
Weed Me
Just lost my uncle Tommy, one of his favorite musicians love this 😢
Joe Walsh was an inspiration to me and I love this song my band played this one.
This is the best version ever. Joe didn't need the Eagles ❤❤❤❤❤❤
But the Eagles needed Joe Walsh though😂
Eagles made Joe a better man for sure
this is still as good as it gets!!!!!!!!
Awesome Rainy Day. I've never heard this. So cool. Come on Waz time for another US festival while Joe Walsh and Dale Bozzio are still with us.
Just friggin awesome!! I love the addition of Bob Dylan's - Rainy Day Woman at the end! 🎸
I hated that part except when Joe started to fire up his guitar again.
Saw him with James Gang, Barnstorm, Eagles and he killed it every time.
Thank YOU so very very much !! May GOD Bless you and your family.

Thanks for your love and support ♥️❤️♥️

This my favorite song 🎵, by Joe Walsh the music and the guitar and the sound on this track is simply amazing 🎉🎉
I am always amazed that the interpreters make millions while the originators died broke

I was there as well and I can’t remember for sure but I think it was in 78. Saw many Sunday concerts in Folsom field.
@@MichaelJ-rt1xb Good times !!!
I think ‘79 was Firefall, Bob Welch, Journey, and the Beach Boys. What a day…
@@f4windex if you're sure about the lineup it must have been 78. I never seen journey.
The great Joe Vitale on drums check out this drummers solo album “roller coaster weekend”. He quit his gig with Ted Nugent to join Barnstorm, Walsh’s new band! In 73’
Roller coaster weekend was a great album!!
Vitale is awesome! He has three great solo albums out. He joined Walsh in 72 and the proceeded to make the incredible “Barnstormer” album.
@@WarrenSchroergreat album and Vitale and the Madmen live in 75 was awesome
@@therazband3007 Who was the drummer that replaced Vitale in Ted Nugent’s band? In 72’?
Joe Walsh is a bad man.
One of the best to play the guitar 🎸
Ya just gotta love Joe ...just real and raw . Love to meet him in the flesh .
Love my Marilyn Martin on backing vocals!
I was at the US festivals, both of them.❤😊
Went to this one all 3 days, yup survived the dust festival of 83, Damn the line ups were awesome
You're still the best Joe .
I know the Eagles tour constantly so Joe doesn't have much time to spare but would be nice to see him and Felder team up for a few solo/duo concerts.
Love this live version ❤️ 💕 😍 💖
I was stuck in Florida when this took place I could have been in with quiet riot since Kevin was a good friend & Randy Rhoads ✝️🙏✝️
Brother on the bass is awesome!
Joe is great.
JOE WALSH IS THE BEST ON THIS PLANET🎉 WE ALL LOVE JOE FIDLER WALSH❤
Can't get enough of this piece. Classic ❤❤❤❤❤
James gang was a trio. Joe added a guitar, horns, back up singers . Rock Stars gonna Rock Star!
God I so remember being there. The US festival was awesome! 41 years ago. I'm 59 now.
My very very favourite version of this wonderful song. Just love it. ❤️
Joe Walsh had a horn section in the eighties, that is bad ass. Not to mention the Dylan reference.
Jay
The horn players kick ass !
You're right Joe Walsh is the man😊
I remember rocky moutain way when I was a child in the early seventies my big brother had this album. I was so excited and intriged by it. It sounded so cool. Joe has always been one of my favorite guitar players ever.
The first guitar player to use the talk box, after criator. 👏👏👏🎸🎼
Love me some Walsh and Frampton! 2 of the guitar masters who use talk box!
What's a "criator"?
what about Pete Drake?
Alvino Rey circa 1939
Yeah Pete drake used one and I think Frampton used one before Joe Walsh. But yeah Walshs style is better imo

I so remember driving through the Teton valley and beyond listening to this amazing song, singing at the top of my lungs!
Yes he did they needed each other ❤❤❤❤
He is unique ❤❤❤❤
Just brilliant ❤❤❤❤❤❤
i am dying when i hear that talk box
The talk box is always other planetary. Not many people use it this well. You know the other one.
David Gilmour - Keep Talking, right? lol
Peter Frampton
Je redecouvre Joe Walsh....and i love it
I love that axe!
Yeah, looks like a on of a kind made just for him. It's not your basic double-neck SG.
Ohhh I remember this tune.❤
Gibson Engineer: Hey Joe! How many input jack should I put you on your guitar?
Joe Walsh: Yes
What memories!!
One of the very best!
I love joe rocky mountain way is one of my favorites ❤❤
