It was tough to be a hit band back then. Separating yourself from anyone around was key. They all had a unique sound. Nobody sounded like anyone else, and thats the way we liked it back then. original acts only.
The Musicians of the 70's reached their pinicle and produced some of the greatest music ever written. It had nowhere else to go but down. I for one, am glad that I was able to witness it all as it happened.
I remember my 7th grade science teacher, Mr Armstrong, in 1970, when asked what kind of music he like....and said he liked this new band "the james gang". who knew???
He makes my all time favourite 3 guitarists list alongside Jimmy Page and Ritchie Blackmore. Just awesome. And 50 yrs later just as awesome. Bless you Joe!
Funk 49 is alot more raw and grungy sounding when played on the les paul . He rarely used a les paul for this song in the 70s . Love the fat and fuzzy tone he gets here.
Saw Joe in the Sam Houston Coliseum in Houston Texas June 16th 1974 with my girlfriend, tickets were five dollars. A month later we married, 9 months after this concert my Son was born. Stevie Nicks opened for him then Walsh rocked the house down. That was 50 years ago on June 16th this year.
@@Georges_Video_Library Yes, Joe Vitale is actually a friend of mine just because of my job ive picked him up several times in the past in Vegas and we hit it off as I'm a drummer outside of my day job. He told me some incredible stories, gave me a signed autographed book he and his wife wrote called Backstage Pass and also a set of signed drumsticks! Hes a really friendly and down to earth person and one of the greatest drummers that has played for so many artists. Hes managed to stay under the radar but the guy has been on hundreds of studio tracks and albums for just about anyone in the industry. Ted Nugent gave him his big break, he then proceeded to play for CSN(Crosby,Stills, and Nash) for over 50 years, as well as for Joe Walsh over 50 years but has also played for Peter Frampton a small bit, actually drummed for the Eagles for 2 long tours as well playing the hammond B3, play for John Entwistle, Jackson Browne,and Dan Fogelberg ,as Joe is also a multi instrument musician. A lot of people also do not know that he co wrote Rocky Mountain Way as well as many other tunes for Walsh and the Eagles. He's a fantastic drummer/multi instrument musician and just a friendly, great human being that still plays today. Thanks for the reply! Take care!
This is what was scratched into the runout area on the barnstorm album. You had one of the original pressings didn’t you! Nobody knows that… All the way think that needs to be amended… :-)
Saw them back up Stills/Manassas about three months before this show. Barnstorm was a really, really good band. Probably a better fit for Joe than the James Gang had been, IMV.
Man, the keyboard and joe going back and forth on 'Turn to Stone'...seems a lot like Zeppelin doing a live version of 'No Quarter'. They're both different but both so good.
If it's Les Paul or Fender Strat, Joe smoke it! Awesome song writer but boy could he paly a guitar and slide. The best of the rockers of yesterday. A Legend!!!!!!
It's a pretty common occurrence for Joe and always has been . In the 70s had three killer sounding les pauls that he used quite frequently. He had a 59 standard which he sold in the early 2000s and and recently re acquired. He had a 1960 les paul standard which gibson replicated a few years back and might be the best sounding modern les paul I have heard. It sounds like a great vintage les paul should . He also had a 69 or 70 tobacco sunburst les paul standard which would have been a modified les Paul Deluxe routed for full size humbuckers ..in that era if you wanted a les paul standard with full size himbuckers or a standard with Full size buckers and a sunburst finish you had to order them from the factory as they were not a regular production model . If you ordered a standard with full size buckers the gibson factory would take a les paul deluxe body that was routed for mini buckers and expand the pickup routes to fit full size buckers and would change the tuss rod cover that read deluxe to one that res standard but there were also many examples of people buying Deluxe les Paul's and doing the mods themselves or getting a Luthier to do the work .either way Joe's Modified deluxe sounded amazing. It has a very raw and aggressive tone but was also very clear and defined. lots of treble bite and just the right amount of midrange warmth. One of the best sounding 70s les Paul's and one of the best period of any era . Alex lifeson had the exact same les Paul . It was a very early 1970 tobacco sunburst Deluxe modified to a standard with full size buckers and it had a very similar sound. Page Also had a 69 or 70 modified deluxe which sounded Amazing as well. It had a very similar raw and aggressive tone with more bite than a late 50s model . Those 1968 to 1974 les Paul's are highly underrated guitars including the 68 yo 74 les paul customs as well which from 68 to 73 were the only les Paul's you could buy off the rack in a store that had full size humbuckers which is why you see so many guys using late 60s and ealry 70s customs during that time period
It’s a good job you Yanks didn’t send this video out into space, we would have every alien here trying to buy tickets for a Joe Walsh concert. ‘We come in peace, where’s Joe?’
I don't remember the year but it was an early seventies I think when Joe lost his daughter,, and he went through hell for a long time over that but he came out okay.
At 3:14 look at the guy in the middle near the bottom of the video with the print shirt, he looks like Mungo Jerry. Just think, those “kids” who are still alive are probably Grandmothers and Grandfathers
As I watch these 70s videos, I wonder WTF happened to music today. This is real music!
Seriously…
They make real music today, mostly real bad music.
Me too, man. the thing is there was rock music, blues music or your parents Bing Crosby... I know which one I picked. 😁
It was tough to be a hit band back then. Separating yourself from anyone around was key. They all had a unique sound. Nobody sounded like anyone else, and thats the way we liked it back then. original acts only.
Simply, today, these is NO music.
Was privileged to see this lineup three times fantastic nobody like Joe Walsh
The guy was a freakin genius! So glad he's still around and has settled with his love of his lifetime! YOU GO JOE!
The love of his life was stevie nicks
@@dr.krinkleweldon5934 That was just a fling.
They both shared an overpowering love for nose candy , been there done that , nothing to do with love for one another .

True that. Losing Moonie and Bonham in one year was the writing on the wall.
Man you ain't lyin 😢@SeattleScene
Yeah 67-77 was a great era. It’s amazing what came out of the blues both from the British Invasion and domestically
Truly a rare vintage recording from his earlier years. Very good quality recording for that time.
I remember my 7th grade science teacher, Mr Armstrong, in 1970, when asked what kind of music he like....and said he liked this new band "the james gang". who knew???
The best version of Turn To Stone, better than the recorded one
Always a mark of greatness when a musician is better live.
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen anything better than that
Nothing better than classic Joe Walsh.
He makes my all time favourite 3 guitarists list alongside Jimmy Page and Ritchie Blackmore. Just awesome. And 50 yrs later just as awesome. Bless you Joe!
I saw the original broadcast but in all honesty, it sounds even better now. Thanks for posting it.
Thanks for listening
The piano segment in the "Bomber" solo is brilliant. Thanks!
The piano segment was from a 1960s song called “cast your fate to the wind”
I never get tired of this song!
Funk 49 is alot more raw and grungy sounding when played on the les paul . He rarely used a les paul for this song in the 70s . Love the fat and fuzzy tone he gets here.
Ravel’s Bolero and Vince Guaraldi’s, Cast Your Fate To The Wind, both of which were part of The James Gang’s, “The Bomber” suite. Outstanding.
1972 I was 16 listening to joe. I still have clothing from the 70 . Joe on slide is the best.
Flawless. Great job Mojo Man!
Joe Vitale (the drummer) put out a great album called Plantation Harbor in 1980
Thank you so much for posting this on YT!!! 😍💖
So young so talented
26 is not that young
😂 right ffs^^

Vitale…the best of the best of the best.
Joe Walsh Rules Baby!! mob 🎸🔥☮️
Man..During Funk you can really hear/feel that arena sound! 70s>🤘
Joe proved playing guitar rock is not in the hands, it's in the face! Man I love this guy!
Cast your Fate to the Wind was great with the Bomer. Ravel's Bolero was a nice twist!
One of the BEST
now i know why i could not pay atentsheon in school
Wow. Thanks for posting the whole thing.
One great band after another. 70's Rule..
I caught them on this tour. Don’t remember much except I really enjoyed it. Joe had this really freaky crazy mask hanging from his mic stand.
RIP Randy Meisner :(
great video, thanks :)
Don Henley watching Joe Vitales drumming like a hawk @14.56.
No kidding? I didn’t even see him sitting in the crowd before.

@@vegaslimoguy2376COOL! I’m 60 and ashamed to admit I’ve never heard of Vitale😏He IS a MONSTER!🤘
THE BEST
The talk box - Joe was not the first, but he did it before Frampton!
He set up frampton with his. Showed him how to work it
Friggin phenomenal
Made LOUD to be played LOUD.
James gang rides again

Unbelievable that this was on TV???????
Yeah we lived in a better time then
@@Georges_Video_Library yeah, but if we missed it....

Joe's Best Playing and Guitar tone was with the James Gang .
Incorrect year. The concert was filmed September 20, 1973 in Santa Monica CA. First broadcast December 7, 1973.
Thanks for the correction
How ya doin. Rick the bass player
Man, the keyboard and joe going back and forth on 'Turn to Stone'...seems a lot like Zeppelin doing a live version of 'No Quarter'. They're both different but both so good.
Joe rockin' the Gibson Les Paul. Nice.
If it's Les Paul or Fender Strat, Joe smoke it! Awesome song writer but boy could he paly a guitar and slide. The best of the rockers of yesterday. A Legend!!!!!!
Don't forget the Hagstrom Swede he played for the first half of the show.

@@adamwatson6916 correct.
I actually thought it was a Framus lp
awsome.
Joe kicks ass reason i learned guitar was him
It’s a good job you Yanks didn’t send this video out into space, we would have every alien here trying to buy tickets for a Joe Walsh concert. ‘We come in peace, where’s Joe?’
Love him.
How ya doin ! Rick the bass player.
Besides being a mount Rushmore guitar player ,he has tremendous creativity.
I don't remember the year but it was an early seventies I think when Joe lost his daughter,, and he went through hell for a long time over that but he came out okay.
And produced one of the most poignant and beautiful songs ever - For Emma
Pure acid rock before its time
Acid Rock? What are you 90?😂😂 what the heck is acid rock? 😮
At 3:14 look at the guy in the middle near the bottom of the video with the print shirt, he looks like Mungo Jerry. Just think, those “kids” who are still alive are probably Grandmothers and Grandfathers
very fine looking young girls that night 'i was 13 at the time
now they're grandmothers.
Is that Joey Vitale on drums cause it doesnt look like Fox ('Foxy')??
@@stevenstanley2369 Yep! Hes been Walshs drummer over 50 years and counting!
I wonder who the keyboard player is with Rocke Grace on the other keyboard?
I’m really not sure who’s playing the other keyboard.
Tommy Stephenson?
@@steveguitargunter Tommy Stephenson is correct.
Kenny Passarelli!
Kenny Passarelli had the sexiest moves and I say that as a heterosexual man
Yeah, "heterosexual", right ...
Back when girls were all natural with no breast implants and no tattoos
Ah yes, I remember.
And no pronouns...and they used to like c0ck too...
Do you have more In Concert footage? I'm currently searching for an episode from December 6th, 1974.
Nope this one’s only have one I have
@@Georges_Video_Library That’s ok. Thank you for replying so quickly!
i wonder what year his les paul is.
If I had to guess I would say 1959
Why did you join the eagles…
American cameramen are the worst
That's a young Carmine Appice on drums.
No. Joe Vitale.
Nope...A young Joe Vitale on drums.
Right on Barn Storm crew . How ya doin. Rick the bass player.
It’s Joe
Thumbs down 👇 , Carman Appice NEVER PLAYED WITH BARNSTORM
American cameramen are the worst
