      I knew. I had the album. What surprised me is he had several other guitarists play solos on the album & I never understood why since he was great on his own. I can only guess he was trying to concentrate on the songwriting & arrangements for his debut so he let others jump in.
      P.S. He once played for Deep Purple in a San Antonio concert when Ritchie Blackmore was ill. Knowing that fact its a wonder he didn't rock out harder starting out.

      I think all of us who were there feel the exact same way. Joe Walsh said the 70s will go down in history like the roaring 20s. He’s so right American was between wars both decades, both decades had their own underground culture of substances the 20s had prohibition and the 70s had archaic marijuana laws both largely ignored by the population until the government stepped in and only the privileged got away with it. The two decades are so similar. Joe was or is a genius for him to say I really understood what he meant. The music will never be better in the history of mankind!

    I can't thank The Midnight Special enough for this channel and videos. We've been waiting a long time. I only have one request, can you consider adding more information about the performance? Like the date, and who were some of the performers in the band? That would be outstanding!!!
