Location: south east Michigan | Wow. Joe Walsh. The James Gang. Funk 49. Walk Away.
I bet some young folks here thought he was just part of the Eagles. And didn't he sure bring a spark to that band!
Funny how he doesn't talk to good. |

Location: WV | Back in my younger days sometime in the 70's I worked Security one summer for DeCesaer Engler Productions out of Pittsburgh. Wound up travelling with Joe and The James Gang to 3 or 4 shows. Man what a party :D Also learned how to unload and set up a baby grand piano by myself. And my parents thought I wasting my time ;) |

If someone could please post the pic or e-mail it to me, appreciations would be most sizeable.
I was listening to Stern here at work when Joe was on, and could tell on the radio that he was playing an Ovation. . just by "the Sssssound". Not his, tho. Guitar belongs to Fred Norris from the show. I remember Fred playing an Ovation some many years ago on the show, and wondered if he still did. Good to know he does. . . . . wonder if he knows about this place?? . . .
Yes, Joe Walsh DID in fact spend his college (KentState) and early adult(?) years in Cleveland. But, . . his early years up thru HighSchool . . . Upper Montclair, New Jersey, thank you.
Anybody got that pic? |

Location: central nj | Jersey Joe....What a legacy!! Saw him twice with the Eagles 1976 1979, would have been nice to see his solo tour. Day late, dollar short when you are 16 years of age.
Saw .38 Specail last year and when it came to the acoustic songs, out comes an Ovation 12 string. Sounded like a harpsichord that would sustain forever. Ovation gets a bad rap, but when it gets down to brass tacks, the instruments are durable as well as soundind outstanding. As far as all the club members are concerned, "WE KNOW WE HAVE GREAT QUALITY INSTRUMENTS!! |

Great player.
This was the first time he'd been on Stern in like 11 years.
He's been sober (on AA), got a wife & two kids now and sound very happy and optimistic. Very good t'hear. . . |

Location: NJ | Saw the Eagles for the first time in '77 at probably their absolute peak . . . "Hotel California" was just coming out.
I had fairly high seats up in the arena, but it did offer a very good view of the stage/backstage area. The backstage really just consisted of a "boneyard" of guitars - a big, wide-open area of floor space behind the speaker stax of various guitars on stands and 3-4 techs each rotating guitars from the stands to the players on stage over the course of the night. Through my binoculars, I counted all of the electrics, acoustics, 6's, 12's, basses and double-necks waiting backstage . . grand total of FIFTY-THREE! . . and at the end of the night, just about every ONE had been played!!! Ah!!! the heady days of fledgling CorporateRock!!
The "warm-up" that night was some guy that was just STARTING to get a modicum of some FM airplay of his first successful release . . .
Some guy named Buffett.
. . . wonder whatever became of him . . . |

Location: SoCal | Buffett was out here last night. Great review in the local paper. Evidently, he's still thrilled to death that he still has his summer job of 35 years.
By the way, for any pirates out there pushing 50, I heartily reccommend his book, "A Pirate Looks At 50". Not a novel.
I'll bet Al hates this posting. |

| And they had one guiter each and they were absolutely awesome.
Only Little Feat and Wynonna (seriously) were better live and I've seen every major band of the last 30 years live at least once. Discuss. |

| I've just worked out how old I am now - make that closer to 40 years.
With the exception of the Beatles. |

Location: Las Cruces, NM | I saw and taped Joe Walsh on Eric Clapton's "Crossroads" concert, and have always admired his guitar playing. I have to confess that I was a student at Kent State in the late 50's and was part of establishing an Ashtabula Branch back then and I have some lifetime memberships in various organizations from that era. Joe Walsh looks just like the rest of us from that period, it is the look of those who were missed by the bullets.
We went on to become Eagles fans and bluegrass pickers, or at least I did, some of my fellow students played jazz in smoky night clubs, at least they had a job.
Joe Walsh went on to become an icon (is that a small picture on our computer screen??)
