When Joe joined the Eagles in the 70s I thought he was incredibly lucky to get that gig but after years have gone by I think the Eagles are incredibly lucky to get Joe.

[@MsAudreyKEvans]

All Joe needs is "Joe"

[@branmonte]

They would’ve broken up way earlier if not for joe. He gave their band more soul than ever.

[@Eric_Blair]

That's a great way of putting it.

[@LuckyDog-ok7gk]

Amen brother !!

[@paulkimble6223]

Joe didn’t join the eagles, the eagles joined joe

[@Mrthreadedtime]

The Orchestra Teacher (exceptional Celloist and of course classically trained) where I teach was hired by the Eagles to play while they did their gig in Dallas last year right before COVID...he didn't really know anything about Joe Walsh, they did three nights...when he came back after the first gig, he told he me could not believe what an unbelievable musician Joe Walsh is.

[@stefanfful]

No doubt.

[@jamesallen5591]

Joe Walsh is gold. He's never changed.

[@pbrazor50]

The organ is a really nice addition to this song. Also the backup singers.

[@naughtmoses]

Indeed. When any live version is better than the ones on Live at Daryl's House, that's sayin' something.

[@larryeisenberg1895]

disagree - bad addition - sounds bombastic and slick. Rock and Roll was never supposed to be commercially slick in its inception - that's what corporate does when they see big $ can be made

[@omarcapaso7156]

Larry Eisenberg if you listen to a lot of rock from the 70s you would know that it is rock n roll.

[@garys8990]

Love the organ.!!It adds so much to the piece.

[@juniorjohnson9509]

@@joewalsh275 Quick question, Joe - how many times do you think you've played this tune over the years?

[@davidjohnsen3245]

I think Walsh deserves more props in that he's one of the few older guys who can still sing!

[@rwhaller42]

I think they are going to have a hard time closing that coffin lid!

[@bridgetj3008]

That is so true, you can hear that his vocal cords have aged, but he can hit the original notes and doesn't have to step it down.

[@Dukerdr]

@Southeastern777 Yep, clean for over 20 years now...

[@jeepmanxj]

Don't know man, pretty much still considered living legend. Hard to move past hero status.

[@snoolee7950]

maybe you missed it. there was a decade when rock radio was wall to wall with his work. he's done okay :-)

[@danmar007]

I'm applauding and cheering. Can you hear me? :) I'm 65. This brings me back to the 60's and early 70's. Joe has been such an influence. Most guitarists love him but it still feels like he's underappreciated for what he's done outside of the Eagles.

He plays this like he just wrote it yesterday. It's possible he forgot everything from his earlier years due to his chemical enjoyment, and he really is playing it for the first time ... again! Haha ... I jest though. This was a thoroughly kick ass performance of a thoroughly kick ass song.

[@xtc1957]

A bonafide rock hero, and there aren't that many of them. This guy is the real deal, and The Eagles did not deserve him.

[@roquefortfiles]

I've said that for YEARS. Joe was slumming it with the Eagles. And easy pay cheque. And he said he felt intimidated by them?.. Like JOE??? WTF?? Pick yourself up man. It should be the other way around. Nothing against Henley and Fry but they really have nothing on Joe. The guy is so dialed in on funk and vibe.. Forget it. He is the real deal.

[@ricardocastillo5485]

James Gang were so underrated

[@feardrinker]

Most people never heard of the James Gang. And they got little radio time compared to the Eagles or Joe's solo work. They are underrated.

[@loveclassics1969]

It's not possible to put into words, what a bad ass Joe Walsh is. For 50 years now, he has been on another planet, talent wise, compared to the rest of the world.

[@lawrenceworrell8474]

THE REALITY IS THAT TECHNICALLY....JOE DIDNT NEED THE EAGLES...THEY NEEDED HIM MORE AS HE WAS ALREADY POPULAR JUST AS A BAD ASS GUITARIST....It's called fair exchange....Joe gave them Rock credibility & The Eagles gave Joe a bigger, grander platform to stand on for years to come

[@chai1914]

A bigger payday n he deserve it.

[@williampinson1125]

Eagles who?
