Joe Walsh is the man!! From the James Gang to his stint with the Eagles and also his solo career!! What a talent!!

[@carlr0gers417]

That was no stint.

[@chuckhollands7528]

Don't forget Barnstorm!

That's how I got my user name. 😉

In a perfect world, the entire planet would recognize Joe Walsh's sheer brilliance.

[@chrisbystrak7967]

I can't really say why, but it chokes me up seeing a young black guy diving into music he never would have listen to. I'm so glad music has led you down this rabbit hole

[@nikosjasonfakaro9187]

I am just glad to be a kid in the 70's - the neighborhood was rocking with music like this all summer long.

[@Dogdrum]

My father blasted this for his 24th birthday. Threw a big celebration for himself hahaha. All the invited guests and many neighbours came to dance. There were neighbours dancing outside the house too.

[@CharCanuck14]

Next James Gang hopefully will be "Walk Away" then maybe Joe Walsh's "Rocky Mountain Way". Another great 70's band - Mountain - "Mississippi Queen" - a real banger! Thanks for bringing back some great memories of the 70's!

[@corvettejohn4507]

Yes those are all great ones!

[@allengator1914]

"Tend My Garden" has always been my favorite James Gang song.

[@Texashog11]

Add Joe’s “Life’s Been Good To Me”

[@petepower4217]

Leslie West with Mountain, great guitarist!

[@andywalker8064]

Jim Fox on drums. Dale Peters on bass and harmonies. One of the great rock trios of all time. We all know Joe, but cheers to Jimmy and Dale. Come on!

[@jeffrconner]

Joe Walsh went on to be solo, and in the Eagles...legendary... ;-)

[@ginao8935]

Probably didn’t get mentioned because you’ve already heard this guy …you just aren’t realizing it yet. Joe is the man!! Gotta love him😂😊

[@romanrodriquez3816]

Jimmy Vox is nasty on drums.

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

Joe Walsh has an album titled, THE SMOKER YOU DRINK, the PLAYER YOU GET. He’s a hoot. I think I’ve just heard this song most of my life and have taken for granted that everyone has heard it.

This album cover had a script on back that said "Made loud to be played loud". Great reaction to a classic!

[@realbser1956]

That’s Joe Walsh on lead guitar and vocals. You’ve probably already heard him if you have heard the Eagles, but listen to his song Rocky Mountain Way. Similar funkiness to this one. 🔥🎸

[@elainehess1181]

Being a teenager back then was awesome.

[@TheOneAndOnlyFloridaMan]

In case you didn't know, the lead guitarist and singer Joe Walsh later went on to become a member of The Eagles. You might want to check out some of his solo stuff too, "Rocky Mountain Way" is a good one.

[@denroy3]

And 'Life's Been Good'.

[@tombrady565]

Indian Summer is a great album.

[@edwarddemedeiros3607]

#49 always gives my goose-bumps! Absolutely awesome!

[@tedd8055]

IMO, the 70's was the greatest decade in music. So diverse, from rock to ballads to disco, to folk, etc. You name it, it happened in the 70's.

[@DSanto-bk6oq]

Joe Walsh is one of the most gifted and original guitarists alive. His guitar sound can shift from sloppy and "chunky" to smooth and melodic in a heartbeat. He's had a very successful career with the James Gang, solo work and his amazing guitar work on songs like "Hotel California" with the Eagles. Joe has also toured with Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band. He's much admired by some of the world's greatest guitarist, including Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton. Along with his talent, one of his greatest attributes is his sense of humor. You have to check out his song "Life's Been Good". It's a rocker...and it's funny as hell.

[@markwilliams5606]

The Pride of Cleveland! James Gang! 66 to 74 ! Very special time in this kinda music. Rock ,Soul,blues, and Country mixed

[@danareynolds1786]

A lot of bands will do a little jam at the beginning of every day of rehearsals, Joe & The James Gang just happens to call those little jam sessions "funks". Somewhere early on, they decided to record them. Someone heard jam, or funk, #49 and said they needed to work it to a song. Need I go on? Also, TONS of good Joe Walsh solo material out there. Another band you should check out if you want some funk-blues-rock is The J. Geils Band, and a cool jump-off song would be the studio version of "(Ain't Nothin But A) Houseparty". Just be forewarned, you dive in face-first whether you want to or not!

[@lanahayes256]

Joe Walsh is singing, he was a part of the Eagles.

[@bobcorbin3294]

Don't forget Funk #48 it's Killer too

[@corvettejohn4507]

@@bobcorbin3294 Yes it is, I was to mention it too.

That's interesting. Good music sometimes starts off as either experimentation or a mistake that some one realized was actually gold. Music is life

[@scottvasey240]

"That little time period right there (68-72) is just so good." Truer words never spoken.

[@dianafoder3123]

I got to see this band in concert, great show. Us boomers got to see all the cool bands live !!!

[@1skyofrog]

Joe Walsh sold one of his Les Paul’s to Jimmy page. That became Jim pages number one guitar.

[@Rocker1983]

James Gang is awesome. Walk Away is another good one by them.

[@hellscornalien8286]

I love James Gang. Have every album they made. Joe Walsh (the guitarist-is a legend) his solo stuff is also banging and then he joined the Eagles.

[@mjhammer11]

First of all, I was 15 when this came out. I about lost my mind. It was new, fresh and jamming. Loved your reaction !!!

[@ChadCarlisle]

'68 '69 '70 '71 - You just described the era of The Doors. I know you've heard them before but you haven't heard them all. Go for some of the less mainstream songs. Alabama Song, Peace Frog, Horse Latitudes, Indian Summer. They are the shit!

[@pulamusic]

Dude, there is another KZbin video of these guys performing this tune on the Howard Stern show some time within the past ten years. They’re all old guys now, but it’s just as rocking and on the edge as they were way back when.

[@marykuranda7254]

I love this song, too. Bought it at the time and really enjoyed it. Joe Walsh is the lead guitarist and lead in the short-lived band. He did some solo work then joined the Eagles. This guy knows his guitar stuff!

[@CharlesComstock-qs6qr]

It never gets old watching guys half my age or more thrill to the same music that took me to a different place in my mind when it mattered, finishing my stint in the US Army after returning from Vietnam. It's great to be rockin' alongside Joe as both us sail ever joyfully through our 7th decades. Thanks for helping keep it alive, TNT.

[@Michigan_farmboy]

Joe has a interesting sense of humor as shown in his song Life's been good. Rockin song and it shows his personality. He's a great guitarist and singer on many other of his solo, James Gang and Eagles songs.

[@brianfisher6165]

The Greatest music came out of the 60's and 70's!!!! Joe is totally awesome and one of the all time greats!!!👍👌✌😎

There's just so much great music in the 60's and 70's it's hard to remember them all.

One of the best songs of its time. Sounds like every party you wanted to go to.

[@mjt11860]

something i never noticed before is how great the drummer was.

[@dianaspears571]

You've heard him, it's Joe Walsh (Rocky Mountain Way). He was in the James Gang, then solo and then with the Eagles. For more James Gang a good one would be Walk Away.

[@fladrummer1]

The whole album is great every song I grew up with listen to them all and decide for your self

[@leannmiller7153]

I was a senior in H.S. James Gang was huge! Grand Funk, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple…..so many great bands from that era❤️❤️❤️

[@cynthiawilson4500]

My favorite song ever..even my grandson loved it when I played it for him.

[@donaldleider7382]

I guess we were spoiled growing up in the sixties and seventies, we heard these songs on the radio all the time and just took it for granted.

[@bernardsalvatore1929]

It Is the summer of 1972 and I'M a fifteen-year-old kid who enjoys going to the neighborhood candy store to play on the pinball machine and listen to the Jukebox with my friends!! Our two favorite songs on this particular jukebox were Funk #49 by the James gang and Paranoid by Black Sabbath! Almost 50 years later both of those songs Still Rock!!!! Great reaction!!! Can't really go wrong with any James Gang Song!!!

[@claytonbrown7100]

How has this not been sampled and looped a million times already???

[@jaymann627]

I heard this song so many times as a kid. Then later again as an adult now and then you'd hear it in commercials and other stuff. Finally learnt how to play it some years ago. Don't know how anyone could've missed this one. It's a classic! But I suppose younger people just aren't that aware of classic rock.

[@wolfpat]

Joe Walsh is the guitar player's guitar player. He doesn't dazzle with a lot of flashy stuff. But he makes solid music.

[@joeyboogenz]

Funk # 49 is the reason I became a guitarist . Joe Walsh was only with the band for a short time though. His solo career and stint with the Eagles has lots of gems !!!!!! Also from James Gang try Funk # 48 ,Walk Away , the Gambler

[@TheCkent100]

I've seen Joe several times, mostly with the Eagles, but a couple of times solo. In 1981, he performed at the LA Forum. He had two drummers in his band, each set up on opposite sides of the stage. 1981 was the year of a baseball strike, so to introduce "Funk #49", he said his drummers re-worked the song because of the baseball strike. During the drum solo, the drummers tossed their drumsticks back and forth between them and never missed a beat! Incredible sight. Joe still performs this with the Eagles in concert, as well as other songs from the James Gang and his solo career - like "Life's Been Good", "Walk Away", "Rocky Mountain Way", and occasionally "Turn to Stone", "Average Ordinary Guy" and "Help Me Make It Through The Night".

[@brandongallegos1206]

Life's been good And Rocky mountain way are a must listen

[@xScooterAZx]

James Gang · 1966-1977 · 1991 · 1996 · 1998 · 2001 · 2005 · 2006 · 2022. Formed in 1955 in Cleveland,Ohio.Only three members during this time. Joe Walsh is the lead singer and guitarist. You should react to Ashes the Rain and I by these guys. It's so ethereal and beautiful. Eerie.

[@jenniferfoster1692]

This is one of those iconic rock songs that has parts of it used in many different places..movies etc..that intro is super famous

[@TexasMagnolia]

Each member of the Eagles were so talented BUT, not one could match the many sides of Joe Walsh. T, a must is Joe Walsh at Daryl’s House (Daryl Hall) - Rocky Mountain Way. It will blow your mind!

[@LouisFLamas]

Saw this band way back in the late 1960’s. Good band back them. Yes’ they did play this song.

Joe Walsh was in a few bands. James Gang was an early band back in the late 60s early 70s when a lot of rock bands were coming out. Our album collections of all the band in that time frame was nonstop. At 65 it's great to hear my albums come alive. still have my albums and some day my grandchildren will check them out. Hear them now asking WHAT'S A TURN TABLE?

[@Brad-f5p]

This whole album is great. I would also highly recommend these other 2 albums. "The smoker you drink the player you get" and "so What". Both albums are classic!

[@troygillaspie2670]

Joe Walsh is one of the all time great guitarists. Listen to his solo work like Rocky Mountain Way and then listen the Eagles, his solo with Don Felder on Hotel California is one of the best ever recorded.

[@ricknblueridge]

Yes he is. Very underrated is my opinion. (I have him in my top 10).

[@bostonvair]

Yours is the best reaction to this song I've seen yet! Great song, totally appropriate reaction!

[@BoxerRick]

Anything Joe Walsh played had that funky southern rock sound. A lot of people wonder why southern people like Rock so much, maybe it has a lot to do with that funky bluesy sound that seems to creep out of a lot of these bands. Satisfies a craving we don’t even realize we have. 😆

[@BenLapke]

Nobody mentioned them because we had such a cornucopia of music when we were young, we can't remember them all. Plus our memories aren't what they should be because of age (and possibly substance abuse during our misspent youth 😁). Next, check out Walk Away by the James Gang, which was even more popular. Meadows by Joe Walsh is also great.

[@thomaswest7746]

You are so correct my brain has a hard the getting started when someone asks it like clutch popping a stick shift 😂

[@jeraldkimball494]

This was my stuff when i was in high school. Big time James Gang fan. Love Joe Walsh!!!

[@heidiblackwell4672]

Another good one by them is "Walk Away". Love Joe Walsh, with the Eagles and his solo stuff!

[@sidneycrossley7802]

The blonde guy that they showed the most pictures of is Joe Walsh. He sings "Life's Been good to me so far" He's been in some quite prestigious bands...The Eagles since '75...James Gang, The Hollywood Vampires with Johnny Depp and Alice Cooper, Ringo (Beatles) Starr and His all Star Band, and a couple more bands. He played with Jeff Lynne , Tom Petty, Prince, Steve Winwood etc. at George Harrison's tribute. He's a fixture on a lot of great songs. Definitely hear his influence on "Funk #40"

[@thorstenriedel3152]

Damn i think this is the coolest rocksong ever.......Joe Walsh is a killer guitarist but his vocals are not of this earth.....mindblowin insane stuff.......hello from Germanistan

[@oldschoolfink3212]

This was Joe Walsh before his solo career or the Eagles. Bad ass rock n roll. Joe is SOOO underrated as a guitar player and songwriter.

[@colleencreamer5842]

I saw them in concert in 1971 and am fairly sure I am missing an eardrum .... worth it.

[@Ledzepnut]

James Gang put out a lot of good music, Walk Away, The Bomber, Tend My Garden, and many more, plus Joe Walsh's solo work was great as well, Rocky Mountain Way, The Confessor, and so many more that I can't even think of cause I'm so damed tired, I need to get some sleep lol

[@sdmercer99]

The greatest era in music is 1965-85. The epitome of rock and roll.

Sir, that is Joe Walsh, an extraordinary human being and extraordinary musician and guitarist who makes any band sound great! You have got to hear his other stuff!

[@chriswiedeman2956]

Such cool grooves with JG. Joe Walsh is such an amazing rocker!

[@user-dv1nh8pp5k]

This is my favorite reaction. Joe Walsh is so underrated.. he is a goat. Not only that, but he sold his 59 les paul to no other than Jimmy Page for song (pun).. that guitar is now synonymous with 2 legends.

[@chrisbloomfield3350]

So this is Joe Walsh on guitar and vocals....absolutely legendary. Underrated but never forgotten. He had a solo career and also played with the Eagles. Other songs to check out (whether solo or not)..."Rocky Mountain Way," "Walk Away," and "Life's Been Good." He was also in "The Drew Carey Show" for a stint as the guitarist for Drew's band. Very hippy/psychedelic dude. And from what I've heard...a very stand-up guy and class act.

[@moonbeam2062]

You need to check out , Elephant's memory - "Mongoose". A great jam. Great story too. The band Elephant's Memory went on to back John Lennon on a couple of his solo projects. This is a song they did shortly before they met up with Lennon. Done about 1970. If you do search for it on KZbin do not play the video with the blue record label pictured. That one is terrible sound quality and the reverb has been messed with. Actually, there is a newer upload of the song with lyrics if you can find it. Has a green jungle scene pictured. Good sound quality too.

In 1970, this was played 20 times a night in every pool hall I went.

[@TheMinster1960]

James Gang was the band Joe Walsh was part of before he went solo. They released three albums before Joe exited. Other songs to check out by them include Walk Away, Funk 48, Woman, The Ashes The Rain And I, The Bomber and Collage. Lots of good stuff on those three albums.

[@mikes3827]

GREAT classic rock tune you pulled up! Funk #49 and Joe Walsh. I know Joe is a legend, but he often gets lost in the shuffle of THE greatest rock musicians ever, yet most everyone I knows loves the guy. The James Gang could REALLY just throw down, for sure.

[@jasonjames6383]

One of the guitarists. Tommy Bolin also played on Deep Purple's Come Taste The Band, James Gang are definitely an underrated band as I'm too young to be around back in 1970 I've only discovered them in recent years.

[@thomaskelley1718]

"Walk away", is a great one. most just include the James gang into the Joe Walsh catalog

[@brandongallegos1206]

Walk away by the James gang is great

[@fayelawson5361]

Another great band I’d Traffic. Their song dear mr fantasy is fantastic. I think you will love it. 1967

[@davebeach2343]

James Gang was my first rock concert, summer of 1969 at the Ohio State Fair. Ten years old walking around wide eyed wishing I was a few years older. Suggestions Frigid Pink their cover version of "House of the Rising Sun". Rory Gallagher, "Garbage Man Blues", "Bullfrog Blues", any of a couple dozen others.

[@shineon7641]

Check Out "The Bomber" "Rocky Mountain Way," "Walk Away" Leader of this band is "Joe Walsh"

[@ChanTheManBassInHand]

1970 release date. Footloose song was recorded prior to the movie. The movie was released 1984. Allowing for a 18-24 month production time for the film the song was likely recorded anywhere from '81 to '83.

[@jameshobbs1460]

This song has been in TONS of movies.. Guardians of the Galaxy hits me first up.. then Invencible.. then Joe Dirt... etc.. so many.. this song is epic. I miss when music was really music.. with heart and real voices.. not auto tune and BS.. Great share

One of my all time favorite musicians. Joe is a monster guitarist. Your take about them ripping off Footloose was fascinating!!! I've never heard that one before but it makes so much sense.

[@michaelnorman9962]

Walk Away is another great one. The James Gang used to tour with Led Zeppelin in their early days. Joe Walsh and Jimmy Page became good friends. It was Joe Walsh that sold his Les Paul guitar to Jimmy and the rest is history.

[@KarolynHerreraBookEditor]

Never heard of this band before! Wow, so glad I happened upon this video. Love them!

[@xburkbx]

The feel of tunes like this is why the Eagles hired Joe Walsh. Walk Away, Woman, and Bomber are all great James Gang songs. For nice range of solo Joe Walsh check out Help me through the night, Life's been good, and/or All night long. Turn to stone and County fair are great deep tracks.

[@loriireland5834]
