[@TheMichaelseymour]

i wanna hear the other 48 funks

[@5556665012008]

Well there is a Funk #48

[@LCA84]

And a Funk #50 too

[@bjornyesterday2562]

Yes

[@swhip897]

This is funked up without joe. Sorry

[@Fongolitus]

well there's Grand Funk 🤔😁

[@jeffkolln5291]

Growing up in Sioux City I remember when Tommy Bolin was the towns beloved #1 son. RIP Tommy you are missed!

[@LylaMoos2012]

I'm from Sioux City. That never happened. Only the old people really were smart enough to appreciate him.

[@brunosauron]

29yo here and I can say this is so insane bro! holy sh....t

[@JustaJuboi]

Tommy Bolin played on the Billy Cobham Spectrum album. It changed the direction of Rock and Fusion 🙏🎸

[@bjornyesterday2562]

I will check that out. My drummer friend in high school said his favorite drummer was Billy Cobham.

[@markwoodhull2463]

I used to see the James Gang at The Cellar in Kent, OH when I was attending Kent State University. Joe Walsh, Dale Peters, Jimmy Fox back then (1971). They were good, but we were more interested in $1.00 pitchers of Stroh's beer and girls back then. The band wasn't too happy about that. I think Joe Walsh left the band at the end of 1971. Hope we didn't make him mad. :)

[@billbailey7302]

The Cellar, Strohs and the James Gang. It doesn't get better than that.

[@dennispolke9029]

Saw them at St.Joe HS on Cleveland. No beer to distract us. The girls, however were hot ; but so was the Band. Long may the James Gang ride!

[@brianmcmorris9592]

Joe did okay...ended up with the Eagles and also a good solo career (Rocky Mountain Way)

[@wuling2646]

Only Joe's voice works with this song.

[@garyrasberryjr.552]

Agreed. Ray Kenner can sing his own material pretty well (good example is an appearance on Midnight Special), but trying to work his own version of a great Joe Walsh song is just wrong.

[@Lee-kv1yh]

And his guitar playing and tone😂😂😂😂

[@socalraps7850]

Needs more Joe Walsh

[@GerardWaysHun20]

and more James. and Gang.

[@stormbringercoming8105]

For all the haters, because this isn’t the original lineup, listen again. This is pretty smoking. I prefer the original lineup also. But this version is pretty hot.

[@gdeezy]

Not really.

Tommy B. Was the 3rd James Gang guitarist. Domenic Troiano was right after Joe Walsh.

Yes ! Exactly 💥💥💥

[@scottdavis24]

What else did he turn you on to little girl .....in High School circa 1977😁 .....No, no just joking peace out young lady✌🦋🙋

[@ninjasonmylawn25]

As soon as I saw the singer messing around with the kit I immediately thought "oh no". When he tried to play the congas but got lost and confused I thought "yeah, that's about right". And why did he just stand on the side of the stage like a creeper!?

[@PantyhoseExperience]

It’s a parody I guess lol

[@cloudJazz77]

[@liecht]

Tommy Bolin on the Stratocaster!!

[@Lee-kv1yh]

That tone sounds like crap😂😂😂

[@jpistolas]

You are so going to hear my bass!!!

[@mauriceadams9978]

Its raw, and its not Joe Walsh, but at least its more authentic and rock than most of the recent live versions that Joe plays behind some backing band that sounds like a rock n roll review. Worst version is from Crossroads music fest 2004. Anyway, random but I enjoyed it.

[@jimbowlby8900]

saw the james gang twice once with joe and once without , amazes me how it took two people to replace him

[@gam3garage]

So killer.

[@Jacob22941]

whats with the hate on this video? sounds killer.

[@Greenbluesforever-yj3el]

Tommy Bolin a great guitarist and singer and this is a fantastic song.

[@Мира-ф5ь]

Tommy Bolin so beautiful 💜

[@jonserkspawn7776]

To think, the following year, Bolin will replace Ritchie Blackmore in Deep Purple, then sadly pass the year after that

[@thewaxmuseum]

This just isn't IT.

[@lynniesteffen]

Singer is terrible. It doesn't resemble JG in the least.

[@cloudJazz77]

@@lynniesteffen the crowd seems to think otherwise

[@louisb5563]

I know, the "it" factor...they look great but, that "something" is missing. We also don't know if the audience reaction at the end was edited in or not. Either way, for these guys, "the show must go on" and they did the best with what they had. Classic rock staple songs are not always easy to reproduce with replacements and Joe Walsh is a tough act to follow; to some of us, the man is "legend".

[@lynniesteffen]

@@cloudJazz77 Yeah they can't help it if they can't be realistic. He's terrible. Clown, nothing more.

[@MrMarkar1959]

I put Tommy Bolin up Top with the Finest Jamming Guitarist. i dig that other Bolan's Rock too

[@buccy55]

This blows!

[@howard4tex]

Anyone ragging on Tommy Bolin on this is clueless...

[@atcycle]

The junkie couldn't even keep the gunk off his neck and played with rusty strings. How the hell didn't they break? I change before every show and still occasionally break strings. That and this is an embarrassing performance.

[@howard4tex]

@@atcycle Really? This the 1st time you ever heard Tommy Bolin play? Yeah he liked his coke but he was in a league of his own, guitar-wise. Check some of his solo stuff...

[@gabrielcallizaya7412]

He is great!

[@geosmith3436]

He relied too heavily on gimmicky weird sound effects- he was basic at best

[@petergrantlloyd6754]

@@atcycle joe Walsh was a junkie who sold he’s equipment too. Also comparing yourself to Bolin shows how deluded you are 😂😂😂

[@sjdanthem]

Tommy Bolin (guitarist) had great potential but died way too young. This rendition, however, is painful. Yikes.

[@DanC-go9lc]

Sorry fellas --- they ain't no James Gang without Joe Walsh. It sounds pretty fair though.

And now you know why the band didn't work after Joe Walsh left.

[@mikelinton1]

This version kind of bothered me. The thing that was missing was original members of the James Gang.

That’s horrible. Joe Walsh was The James Gang.

[@PlasticCogLiquid]

What, and who the hell is this? An alternate sucking reality timeline?

[@sledzeppelin]

Tommy has chops for days (at least until he destroyed himself), but can't match the feeling of Joe Walsh. The singer makes it feel like a Glee cover of the song.

[@skcotton5665]

Love this - especially Bolin - but - who is the singer?

[@johnsummerhill8323]

Roy Kenner. He was there for 3 or 4 years after Joe Walsh.

Well that ain't Joe and the James Gang I know but good to hear......

[@BruceWayne-gu6md]

Tommy Bolin!!

[@jamesjames2070]

That strat/tele was it a custom build?

[@riodejaneiro664]

Joe left because ABC records kept the band grom recording for 2 years. You can't blame the rhythm section for moving on without him. Record Companies screwed 99% of everyone they signed. Look it up.
