Les Paul with Joe Walsh

Les Paul with Lou Pallo and Gary Mazzaroppi wish Joe Walsh a Happy Birthday , Joe takes Les's Guitar and plays a blues in A song . Fat Tuesday's 11/19/90

[@fredtietjen3247]

Wow what an honor. Les hands him his guitar to play. I don't care how big a star you are, all bow their heads to Les.

showed so much respect to Les. Joe is capable of playing so much more than he did. This wasn’t a guitar duel to him but more about respect and honor to the great Les Paul. ✌🏻😎🎸

[@GenericSpace]

Well that's just it; being able to shred arpeggios and play a thousand notes per second isn't so much the measure of a "good" guitar player but a lack of confidence. Being "good" is all about sounding good.

Joe is one of the most generous & conciousness people on the planet. Like here, sharing lead with the other guitarist. I saw him in concert in the early mid 70's. He brought out 2 black dudes to sing background on a couple tunes & when finished, they both walked off stage in darkness. Joe quickly signaled to hit them with a light, then gave prop man a thumbs-up. That's stuck with me all these many years.

[@alexjung9724]

Where did you see him?

[@MrMd5555]

People like Les Paul, Chet Atkins, Chuck Berry all the old blues guys & guys like that were more than just great guitar pickers, they were entertainers that HAD to learn how to work a crowd out of necessity in their early days! it's an art form that unfortunately is almost extinct nowadays

You are so right. He’s one of the best guitarists from back when he played with the James Gang and then he had a solid solo career. The Eagles took much notice and hired him to replace Bernie Ledon.

[@tomlewis4748]

Winter. 1969. Funk 49 had been out for a few weeks. My roomie and I snuck into the Student Center before closing and hid from the cleaning folks overnight. At 8 am when they opened, there was a line of 30 people freezing outside the door, lined up for tickets for The James Gang. We got the front row middle four seats that way. Curtains open, and there's Joe in front of stacks of Marshalls. It was by far the best concert I've ever seen. Everyone was standing and rocking out. Joe was so dominant I don't remember a single thing about the drummer and bass player. He just killed. At one point he had two Leslies on opposites sides of the stage hooked up to a Hammond B3. Literally mind-blowing. The gig was premised on the fact that Joe had to promise he would not get high before the performance, was the rumor. Anti-drug by the 'authorities' was a big thing in those days. Can't really blame them, I guess. Joe was so high it appeared he never opened his eyes for the entire 2 hours. (He's straight as an arrow these days, so bully for him). And he still played his ass off. When Fender had their '50 Years of the Stratocaster' celebration concert, about 15 of the best guitar players in the world performed. They were all great. Joe just smoked everybody.

Joe shows his class and smarts here. You can hear Les' guitar is out-of-tune, so when Joe comes on, he doesn't tune the guitar on stage, out of respect. Then he chooses a blues tune with 9th chords which is perfect with the single-note stuff and lets the guitar be easier to manage. Plus he's always great with the crowd.

Without Les, so many of these guys would never have been created.
