" Superfly" (72) Title track from the groundbreaking soundtrack
A funky masterpiece 🔥 🔥
Majority on here are not hip to the black soul & funk from same era as Walsh. You should do it anyways !
For your own exposure.
Glen Frey was asked what he thought of Joe when he was in the Eagles, he said he's an interesting bunch of guys!!!!!
One time talking about his supposed alcohol problem he said, "I only got drunk once... for 25 years."
Funny... And that reminds me. Joe Walsh said of Keith Moon (drummer for The Who), "The scariest moment of my life is when Keith Moon said he liked me." -- paraphrasing from memory here. o

@@ORagnar Keith didn't play the drums. He attacked them.
😂🤣😂🤣
“I can’t complain but sometimes I still do”. Great line.
One of the best.
If anybody knew how to have fun, it was Joe Walsh.
If anybody didn’t know how to have fun, Joe Walsh would be a guy to get lessons from.
You won't find a much nicer and funnier dude than Joe. He's eccentric but in a good way.
Yeah, he'd be a really cool neighbor to have!!
If chill has a dictionary definition, Joe's portrait should be alongside.
Joe is a Wichita, Kansas native. He may be chill now but he was a big time alcoholic. He’s about 29 years sober, I believe. He wrote the song “One Day At A Time” about his sobriety. It’s a great song and one probably a lot of people out there should hear.
ua-cam.com/video/xlfCyHbLdpI/v-deo.htmlsi=L7a_RPysV266jWaT
@ffjsb Of course he’d be a great neighbor. He says he’s never home!
@@donjackson5522 He mows the grass and picks up the dog doo, so he's home every once in a while...
Joe's also a brother-in-law to Ringo Starr. Joe quit drinking and drugs when he woke up in France without remembering making the trip.
The Question: How far can you push excess, drugs, booze etc, hanging over that abyss by your fingernails looking down into the erupting volcano before you are consumed by your excess and fall in like Keith Moon, Jimi Hendrix,, Phil Lynott, John Belushi, John Entwistle and the like? Answer: Joe Walsh. That's why I appreciate him every day. He's the one who came back.
Everybody thinks Hendrix o.d.'d on too many drugs but all he did at that time was Dr. prescribed sleeping pills. He was in London at his girlfriend's & found he'd run out. Took one of his girls( totally different), turned out to be just a bit stronger and it killed him.
Joe is fun. In concert, he usually changes the lines about the limo to:
"I have a limo, ride in the trunk.
I lock the doors in case I get drunk"
Love that you stayed for the flock of Waa Waas. Most don't, nice work!
😂😂😂😂
Would have been terrible to miss!
What it was back in the 70's with Joe Walsh, was the sound of his guitar. On the radio it was unique and amazing. It stood out. Younger generations don't seem to be as taken by the guitar playing/sound. But Walsh is a guy you know could hang with his fans and make new friends. Regular guy. Ordinary Average Guy. 😉
Interesting to note, Joe got sober in 1993 & has been active in recovery since then. he wrote song about recovery from addiction called ‘One Day at a Time’
Whether it's his work with The Eagles, his solo stuff, or The James Gang, Joe Walsh is entertaining. Have you done The James Gang songs Funk #49 and Walk Away? Good ones . . .
The song Bomber by the James Gang kicks ass! Joe Walsh at his best!
"JOE SOUNDS LIKE HE KNOWS HOW TO HAVE FUN!"
Back in the day I was working an Eagles show in a stadium and Walsh was with them. This was in Colorado. Suddenly a large group of guys showed up at the backstage entrance. This was an open, outdoor area. Turned out it was Walsh's' softball team, in uniform. We gave all them backstage passes and they hung around the catering area until the show started. Were upon they drifted out into the crowd.
IIRC they were called "The Werewolves of Aspen". ;O)
@@truckinfool3550 Good song, so's Victim of Love. ;O)
Fun fact, Jimmy Page of led Zeppelin bought his famous sunburst Les Paul from Joe Walsh. Paige was quoted saying Joe Walsh is a true American rock star. You have to listen to some of his James Gang recordings, a little more rock and roll than that.
This is probably the most Joe Walshy Joe Walsh song. You should also cover his earlier James Gang hits: "Funk #49" and "Walk Away."
I put "Ordinary Average Guy" in that Joe Walshy category as well.
Now you should listen to Funk #49 and Walk Away from the James Gang. That'll pretty much wrap up Joe's hits before he joined the Eagles.
That's what I was doing to say.
Me too
Respectfully disagree. There is a lot of GREAT solo stuff before the Eagles. 2 albums that are good from start to finish. "The smoker you drink, the player you get" and "So What". That's just the beginning.
"The Confessor", "The Bomber:Closet Queen:Bolero:..." "Rocky Mountain Way" "Turn to Stone" are several other great songs before Eagles.
I would've added A Life Of Illusion and All Night Long
This used to be my "go-to" song when I was driving my daughter to high school... I didn't want to go to work and she didn't want to go to school. :) It crossed generational boundaries as we shared a moment :)
I hope they play it at my funeral!! :)
So happy to see Joe reacted to. My favorite Eagle. An underrated musical genius! A must see is:
Joe Walsh - Live at Daryl’s House - Rocky Mountain Way.
Best album name cover ever: 'The Smoker You Drink, the Player You Get' (1973)
Up there with "You Can Tune a Piano, but You Can't Tuna Fish" of Reo Speedwagon.
You Can’t Argue with a Sick Mind is not too Bad a JW album Title either
You are never alone when you’re a schizophrenic
My favourite (of any album, not just Joe's) is "You Bought It, You Name It". Though I love the title/image combo of "There Goes the Neighbourhood"...
In the late 80’s I worked at The Peabody Hotel in Memphis for a summer. Now if you know The Peabody you know it’s got a huge busy lobby with a fountain in the middle for the ducks to swim in during the day. Joe Walsh was staying there while doing some recording in town. That dude was so drunk and stoned all the time that he legit had a bodyguard whose entire job was to follow Joe around and make sure he didn’t bump into people/furniture or fall into that damn fountain. Joe was nice to everybody but he was seriously f-up like 24/7, lol
Joe Walsh has always had an outrageous sense of humor. Today, he is still very active playing here. There and everywhere and supporting our war veterans everywhere.
Joe Walsh is a great guitarist and a hilarious person. He has made some TV cameos and helps out on lots of charity gigs. Any Joe Walsh tune will be a banger.
I have always loved Joe's tongue-in-cheek, self-deprecating sense of humor. I mean, after all, how can you go through life taking yourself too seriously? I ask you.
Sorry about the late comment
Joe played the with"The" Eagles It was He and Don Felder that traded guitar licks in the song Hotel California
Joe is a musical genius
Love Joe Walsh. He did do a lot of drugs in his time. He got sober/clean when the Eagles got back together to do the hell freezes over tour.
I saw Joe several times. Very good show. 1 concert the band came out on stage with a guy naked on a unicycle. Gotta hear "Turn to stone" and "The Confessor".
🔥❤️ My favorite from Joe 🔥
Don Henley “Dirty Laundry” is fire 😊
All Night Laundry Mat Blues
Joe Walsh - in the city
Joe Walsh once said touring is brand new as he really can’t remember what happened when he was on drugs
Such a laid back vibe! This is a song that isn't in a hurry to go anywhere: it just sort of meanders, taking it's time while chillin', and having a lot of fun while doing so.
Joe Walsh had pretty well the best sound quality on vinyl, great reaction
Back in 66 or 67 - in a teen band - battle of the bands in an YMCA We did Jonny be Good and we nailed it nailed it. Sitting around in the back stage to feel good winning.. Well a group called the Measles followed us with Joe as lead - 4 bars in we just loaded up the van and left. That is why I sold machinery
I heard they play an infectious groove.
This makes me think of the story. Ian Anderson tells about playing guitar. He's been quoted as saying when you first started his band he played guitar and he thought he was good. "Then I saw Eric Clapton in concert. Now I play flute."
Hall from Hall and Oats has a series of videos where he has famous bands talk and perform their hits in a garage setting or basement studio scene. Joe Walsh does this song and tells how this is a mish mash of stuff he had laying around stuffed into a song
"Live from Daryl's House." Great series, with some great performers, and Daryl's "house band" are absolute pros.
I was going to point them to this, too! Great episode! Thanks for doing it!
Sadly, with Hall and Oates legal battles lately, Live From Darryl’s House is getting pulled down and blocked from socials.
The best part of every Eagles concert with his helmet cam!
ABSOLUTELY, especially during THIS song!!!
Joe is a funny guy, that's for sure. I remember in high school I went out and bought this single immediately after hearing it for the first time on the radio. I mean like literally later that day and then I played the heck out of it for a long time. It's such a fun song.
When my sister was college-aged, Joe Walsh's mother lived about three blocks from her and he often came back and spent time there and when he did he would go out every morning and walk her dog. My sister would always try to make sure she was doing a little gardening or something down there by the red brick sidewalk so that she would have reasons to interact with him, laugh. She had a huge crush on him.
Joe was born in Cleveland, Ohio where Drew Carey was born and Joe's first band James gang appeared on Drew carey t.v. show where they performed walk away
Saw the Eagles a couple of years ago. It was an amazing concert but Joe stole the show when he played some of his songs. He was incredible and so funny! Love him!
An interesting quote from Joe Walsh! "The scariest day of my life was when Keith Moon decided he liked me".
I've never seen Joe live, but the first time I saw him was in 1971, he and the James Gang were in the movie Zachariah. You guys should watch it sometime. The movie is a psychedelic, hippy, western with good music and gun fights.
There is comical version of this song where Joe breaks down the song into the stories behind each line. Its worth the watch.
Joes dad was in the military so he supports veterans. There is a really interesting speech he made to some still serving military that will give you a glimpse into him and his life. And it’s hilarious.
An all time great song...I`ve always loved this one since its release...My favorite by Joe is " In The City ".
Fun fact: Joe Walsh has been Ringo Starrs brother in law since 1981. His wife (Marjorie Bach) sister Barbara Bach is married to Ringo.
He used to do backflips off the speaker stands when he was in the James Gang. He was a showman.
In the City is a great Joe Walsh song.
Joe Walsh started with a small "garage band" "The Measles", and moved on to "James Gang" (GREAT group). Played with another not-so-well-known "Barnstorm", and was with Ringo Starr for a while. Did his solo thing, and shined brightly with the "Eagles". He continues to make music with various artists.
Joe is a great guitarist. He's not as fast as Joe Satriani but he plays the most tasteful, luscious licks ever. His slide guitar playing is phenomenal.
Joe Walsh is one of the great Clown Princes of r&r and one of those guys whose lyrics come off in a way that makes it seem like he’s just talking to you. He makes it seem so effortless and so not contrived. Tom Petty had the same ability. The more you listen to Walsh, the more you see the greatness he has. You’ll also begin to realize the influence he had on the Eagles.
Fade out Outro Jams were a common thing in rock during the 70s. It gave radio stations options to stop songs to their liking. However when done in concert, that section is always extended and allows the band to freeform their song endings and gives the audience something more.
And you’ve GOTTA check out the official video to Walk Away when he was with The James Gang.
The 70’s were really good to Joe.
Need to watch him live do it. With or without out the Eagles All good
Joe Walsh is one of the greatest guitar players EVER! And former presidential candidate Joe Walsh from 1982!
Joe Walsh was also an actor. He has been on many TV shows.
And at the very very end of the Blues Brothers movie
"A flock of Waa Waa's" are particularly funny when you're stoned and without a care in the world...Pretty much defines my youth in the 70's 🤣...
"Life of Illusion" is also great
If you wanna get a really good perspective, I'm Joe Walsh. Get ahold of some of the Howard Stern tapes from the Howard Stern show when Joe was a guest on multiple occasions. He's a great guest and interesting and you do find out who he is.
Joe Walsh was once quoted as saying... "The scariest thing that ever happened to me, was Keith Moon (drummer-The Who) decided he liked me. Dig into some of Keith's "Hotel Shenanigans", and you'll understand the line...
"I live in hotels, tear out the walls...
I have accountants pay for it all.."
Rocky Mountain Way may be included in a "best of" collection, but technically, it's a James Gang track, for which Joe fronted. Joe Walsh is great.
Hi Joe see you in new Zealand soon regards aa❤Nell YES!!
One of my favorite songs - quirky - describing the rock and roll dream all with a sense of humor
If you like Joe Walsh, check out his early work in the band 'James Gang'. His best work is there, even before he joined the Eagles.
Joe was the leader of the James Gang before joining the Eagles. Check out `Life's been good ` by the James Gang.
Glenn Frey once referred to him as, “…a great bunch of guys”.
From his time with The James Gang - Walk Away, Funk 49
From The Eagles - Life In The Fast Lane, Those Shoes
Solo - In The City, Turn To Stone
Celine Dion plucked him from the audience on the spur of the moment to help her out because she noticed George Harrison’s widow, Olivia, in the audience and wanted to perform Something for her in tribute to George. It’s beautiful. You should watch it even if you don’t make a video. Much love ❤
Again you really need to see Joe do this live. You can find Joe doing this with The Eagles.
I have loved this song for literally decades, ever since it was first released when I was a kid, but I never bought the album, so I've only ever heard it on the radio - and on the radio, they don't play all the way through that outro, so I have never before heard that bit at the end (the flock of wah-wahs). I had no idea it existed until just now. So thanks for playing it all the way through!
She absolutely loves this new silk accessory! HMMMM Gentle and breathable! 😅
You gotta here the James gang "funk#49" also has Joe Walsh on that band
Joe Walsh loved to party, often with Keith Moon and John Belushi. who both O.Ded. Joe cleaned himself up before it was too late
loved this track from joe walsh played it hundreds of times allways sounds different!
Another great tune by him was "Ordinary Average Guys"..it has the same feel as this one and you can definitely feel his humor coming through on that one too.
“The smoker I drink, the player I get”
Saw him in concert and he offered up the following changes:
"I have a limo, ride in the trunk.... I lock the doors in case I get drunk." and
"I go to parties, sometimes until four... it's tough to leave when you can't find the floor." 😂
Another great one by Joe is "Meadows".... He's creative... So creative that you can't go into any song from him thinking you have a good idea what's ahead.....
His time with The James Gang was his best work. You should check out "Funk #49", "Walk Away", "The Bomber:Closet Queen:Bolero" and "Lost Woman".
We loved this song when it came out! Made us laugh and love his music even more.
I love how he mixes the acoustic guitar in there.
LOVE Joe Walsh ... thank you! I have a feeling this bit of trivia might have been covered elsewhere in all these comments ... but Joe Walsh and Ringo Starr are brothers-in-law, by way of being married to the Bach sisters ... Marjorie Bach for Joe and actress Barbara Bach for Ringo. (Also here's another vote to see/hear you react to "Funk #49). ... "Peace and love!"
Don Henley and Glenn Frey both have fairly large catalogues of solo work. Fur Henley try "Sunset Grill" or "All She Wants to do is Dance". For Frey, "Smugglrt's Blues" or "Sexy Girl". There are many more.
Such a fun song to crank up in the car, roll down the windows to let everyone hear.
My favorite version of this is on the Eagles ONE Tour, Melbourne Australia.
Oh, you have to mention the raggae. Breaking to the funny lyrics with the raggae was something unexpected when I first heard this. "Here come the wah-wahs" is an inside joke, but I heard someone explain it as, waiting for the producers to step in and ask for another take. It was kept in there, but layered with different speeds to sound like a bunch of wah-wahs.
In the song, Walsh satirically reflects on the antics and excesses of the era's rock stars, with nods to drummer Keith Moon of the Who it was these two that teared down the walls when they toured together "I live in hotels, tear out the walls/I have accountants pay for it all", and "My Maserati does one-eighty-five/I lost my license, now I don't drive" he actually lost his wallet with his license in it. Peace out
Guys-- Joe has always written humorous songs on occasion. One you might get a kick out of is 'Down On The Farm'. Check it out. Cheers, T
Great song if you're sitting around getting high. And when it came out, that's probably what we were all doing, and that's why we liked it so much. It's simply funny. And of course, Joe is one of the greatest guitarists of all time.
Despite being in the Eagles this is my favorite song of his.
Love Joe Walsh. He always had good interesting music whether he was in a band or going solo. If you want to hear some of his earlier stuff you might want to listen to "The James Gang" (late 60's early 70's). The band lasted for about 10 to 12 years but he was only a member for 3 or 4 years.
This song was based on his life at the time😂😂💕! Have a Blessed Day 🦋
Joe had 2 or 3 seperate song sections he had written and later put all of them into one song. This song. He had a violent alcohol fueled rock 'n roll life and this song is autobiographical.
Hey, Life was good for Joe at the time..Number 1 record, and the Eagle''s "Hotel California" was still kicking azz on the charts, too. The LP this song came off, "But Seriuosly, Folks" is VERY good all the way thru, highly recommend a listen.14:50..I knew that would get ya..look at the LP cover..this is a guy you'd love to party with!!
This album came out right around the same time the first Van Halen album came out. We played the grooves off of both of those albums that summer.
I remember when it came out and riding with friends to a concert in Birmingham with it cranked up. Don't remember what concert it was though.😂
@@craigdoriety9798 I understand that my friend.
One of the funniest songs with a healthy dose of lived reality and self-effacement and sarcasm from Joe. By far my favourite Joe Walsh solo tune but Hotel California is a perfect song sonically and lyrically. From Joe's earlier time with the James Gang in the early 1970s you need to listen to their classic Funk #49.
Next Stop: the three greatest Eagles albums. Go Joe!
One of my all time favorite songs from my youth, and yet I have never heard the end. Until now. Thanks for the Wah-Wah’s! 🤪
I always forget the flock of wah-wah's at the end of the song. It is only on the album and doesn't get much airplay at all. It always cracks me up when I hear it. Joe Walsh always was and is a fun guy and loved to party as you mentioned. I think this song captures his life brilliantly and is a great song.
This song brings back memories of our California trip as a teenager. From New Orleans to LA with many stops in between. This and the Eagles’ Hotel California our constant companion. Great trip
This whole album is great!
Definitely my favorite Eagle. So many good songs from Joe. Ordinary average guy, life of illusion, the Confessor, Turn to Stone, Meadows, all night long,and in the City. In the City was originally written for the movie the Warriors. Then just after he was asked to join the Eagles, and they made it an Eagles song. So there are two versions of this song.
This also appears on the double album FM - Soundtrack for the movie FM. He was the main man in the trio James Gang, just prior to his solo hit ROCKY MTN. WAY, so with James Gang he did THE BOMBER, from the album "James Gang Rides Again"(1970) you should really hear. Lots of hits with them and solo, aside from his Eagles gig, which he referred to as a great part-time job.
You have to see him live. This song is a perfect reflection of his personality. He was having a great time at the concert here on the 16th. He hasn't changed at all. Really cool to watch him. Super funny dude and definitely a party-er.
Joe is the coolest.
When i was a teenager,,Joe filled in for a few weeks,as a DJ at K.L.O.S IN LOS ANGELES(a station that now sucks bigtime,)
Joe is totally funny,totally amusing, totally smart.
If the beatles were AMERICAN and just 1 guy,they would be Joe Walsh.
