James Gang - VetsAid 2022 - Full set

Then why weren't they able to keep The James Gang together after Joe left? What have they been doing for the past 40 years?

[@brötzmannsax]

@@DennisDolan-fl3mw Jim Fox was in the Outsiders before the James Gang and later played on many sessions including Clapton and Stills, he also collects license plates and wrote a book on plate collecting which is a hobby he keeps today. Dale Peters stuck with the James Gang after Joe left and always tried to maintain the band.

[@DennisDolan-fl3mw]

@@brötzmannsax The James Gang after Joe was a flop. I saw them, they sucked. Going from big name rock band to collecting license plates? That's a big step down.

[@michaelbradley5586]

@@DennisDolan-fl3mw that happens a lot, You don't have to look hard to see some of the greatest bands and their individual members flop. Look at Kiss, look at Styx, look at Aerosmith etc, It is usually the guitar player who can somewhat carry on. There is a reason that Joe comes back to these guys and why there is such admiration for them. There is no doubt that Joe is in a catagory all himself but to try and discredit the other musicians is just being a jerk.

[@smokintee117]

Joe Walsh has a sound all his own. When he starts playing you know it’s him. He has always been one of my favorite players.

[@abilenecowboyshooter]

Joe Walsh rocked his hardest with the Gang. Live at Carnegie Hall is one of my top ten albums of all time. Joe was a ham radio operator, and I met him at a record signing in Austin and loaned him a 2 meter Handie Talkie for the weekend. What a cool dude!

By far Walsh's best and most interesting guitar work was with The James Gang. He probably made 90% of his money playing with The Eagles but his genius came through with The James Gang.

[@4spbiz]

Really? You don't think Hotel California is interesting?

[@charliehaze9952]

@@4spbiz Hotel California's music and guitar parts were written and arranged by Don Felder....who of course was the co-lead guitarist for the Eagles back then. He and Walsh do some nice guitar inter-play work but it's all neatly arranged and laid back compared to Walsh's guitar playing with The James Gang. James Gang was a guitar power trio where Walsh wrote and sang all the songs and had to support them with his power guitar parts all by himself. For instance his guitar playing on songs like Funk #49 and The Bomber far exceeds anything he ever did with the Eagles. With the Eagles..Walsh was almost a sideman.With The James Gang..it was ALL Walsh.

[@bbb8997]

eagles suck gas, I refuse to listen to anything they ever recorded other than "chug all night", hotel california is a POS, song & album. you can thank don henley for the high concert ticket prices. they didn't show up at the August Jam'74 & guess what ? no one cared, after all it gave ELP & the Allman Brothers Band more time to play. there was no way they could have followed Black Oak Arkansas, Marshall Tucker Band, FOGHAT, Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Grinderswitch, & PFM. Wolfman Jack was the MC.ELP tuned up for almost an hour & that was a performance i🌬️nto itself. eagles music is pablum for the masses🤪🤪🤪🤪

[@Baribrotzer]

@@charliehaze9952 ".....With the Eagles, Walsh was almost a sideman....." In the Eagles, Walsh effectively IS a sideman. Yes, he's on the books as a full member, and they do a couple of his songs - but that is, I think, only because he joined early and is grandfathered in. By contract, he can't move onstage and has to stand within a three-foot square - and I'd be surprised if he makes more than a small fraction of what Don Henley (the only Original Eagle) makes per show.

[@charliehaze9952]

@@Baribrotzer Walsh made the Eagles a better band for sure... but it was Henley's and Frey's band bar none . They could have fired Walsh anytime... replaced him and been just fine But The James Gang was his baby... ALL Joe Walsh.

[@darrellminx5459]

I was born in Frisco but spent my early teenage years in Ohio. The Midwest had it's own style a little harder rocking. The James Gang was a group that helped to change music. Look at the bomer with bolero not all the albums had that on the record. Great groups like MC5 the Stooges Grand Funk and many more. Joe Walsh was a god guitar player. One of the first to use echoplex . He gave his Les Paul to Jimmy Page. I went on to play drums all over the country and James'Gang was one of the bands I learned from. Many thanks for posting this. Bless you Mr Walsh. Aloha from Hawaii!

[@brucemunro7499]

Uhh...he's one of the most famous rock guitarists ever...not sure he meets the standard of underrated.

[@jackwezesa1081]

So not underrated!

[@jamesmadison6650]

Is he really that underrated ?

[@garygallion8405]

When Joe first joined the Eagles I thought that was a bad match to put him in that group and musical environment. But surprisingly, the mega talent that Joe Walsh is allowed him to fit in and adapt to their style. He actually found ways to compliment what they were doing and the Long Run album was a great example of that.

[@darrellpetersen133]

Some of the Eagles (Henley, Frey, and Meisner) sang backup vocals on Walsh's "So What" from 1974. You can hear then on "Turn to Stone" from that record.

[@dharrison9248]

Dang! The boys still sound incredible. What a great set of JG songs. One of the most underrated but certainly not under appreciated bands of all time. I still listen to their music and it's still sounds as good as it did the 1st time I heard it. Dale Jim & Joe you are the living proof that Rock & Roll never forgets! God bless and hell take this tour on the road!

[@samansun]

Jimmie Fox, one of the best ever!

[@william5159]

The James Gang, the first concert I attended. Memorial Stadium, Kansas City, 1970, high as a kite on pure cannabinol powder, those were the days... changed my life. 7 years later hung out with The Eagles in their manger's office on Sunset. Glenn put out a line of coke on the desk for me, but I was only into meditation at the time, so politely refused. Glenn had just come back to the office with his new softball shoes, he was so happy. He invited me to be a member of The Eagles softball team. I was living in Santa Barbara, so couldn't make the commitment. lol. So he called his favorite restaurant, The Pear Garden and made a reservation for me and my girlfriend to have dinner with his favorite chef, Freddie, a teppanyaki master. Years later my friend who was the coke dealer to the stars (believe it) said to me the reason Glenn liked you was because you turned down a line of the best coke in L.A.. Life, so interesting. Ya never know what's around the next corner.

UNreal how in sync both drummers are- fascinating to watch- WOW!!

[@dcut75]

It is pretty cool, but I actually prefer it when there's two drummers and they're not playing the same. Ministry back in the late 80s early 90s toured with two drummers and it was mind blowing to watch. Look up the songs 'Breathe' then 'So What' with Bill Reiflin and Martin Atkins playing drums. Skip to 10 minute 40 second mark of So What. Very, very cool.

[@scottloiselle3424]

This is F'NG UNBELIEVABLE...I discovered this (James Gang Live) when I snagged (stole) the James Gang Rides Again album out of my older brother's room around 73 or so, and then years later, bought (at considerable expense) the Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs super high-falutin' version of it - I've always thought that that they achieved a power (on a _recording_) that I'd only heard on Live Cream Vol II, just sheer testosterone and Marshall-enabled attack-SPL...... this just confirms that JW is one of my all-time faves (Barnstorm and Caribou Ranch and etc.), Smoker, Neighborhood and so many more. Every Saturday we work in the yard, pick up the dog doo, hope that it's hard...... and this guy even has/had an MOTM (you say it Em-O-Tee-Em) format modular synth.......and was a demon using an ARP Odyssey......and a talkbox.......and an Olive console (look up Caribou Ranch Olive Console).......and he still owes me 12 f'ing bucks!

Years ago I bought a book on identifying car license plates for collecting. Great book with full color pictures of plates by state from the earliest to present day. I was very pleased to see that it was written by Jim Fox ! He started collecting plates when on tour with the band and kept going.... like Geddy Lee does with old signed baseballs
