" 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.
czcams.com/video/xlfCyHbLdpI/video.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 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"
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.
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’
Love that you stayed for the flock of Waa Waas. Most don't, nice work!
😂😂😂😂
Would have been terrible to miss!
"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)
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!
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"...
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.
As a vet I adore Joe Walsh.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
That is why Joe has always been my favorite Eagle. Henley and Frey seemed to take themselves much too seriously.
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!! :)
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".
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.
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.
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.
The best part of every Eagles concert with his helmet cam!
ABSOLUTELY, especially during THIS song!!!
Joe Walsh once said touring is brand new as he really can’t remember what happened when he was on drugs
Joe Walsh had pretty well the best sound quality on vinyl, great reaction
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.
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.
🔥❤️ My favorite from Joe 🔥
Don Henley “Dirty Laundry” is fire 😊
All Night Laundry Mat Blues
Joe Walsh - in the city
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."
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.
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 ❤
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 Walsh was also an actor. He has been on many TV shows.
And at the very very end of the Blues Brothers movie
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.
An all time great song...I`ve always loved this one since its release...My favorite by Joe is " In The City ".
He used to do backflips off the speaker stands when he was in the James Gang. He was a showman.
There is comical version of this song where Joe breaks down the song into the stories behind each line. Its worth the watch.
An interesting quote from Joe Walsh! "The scariest day of my life was when Keith Moon decided he liked me".
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
“The smoker I drink, the player I get”
She absolutely loves this new silk accessory! HMMMM Gentle and breathable! 😅
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!
"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 🤣...
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
Joe is the definition of a Rockstar 🤘
Joe is an amazing slide guitar player! That is his specialty.
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! 🤪
Fun fact: Joe Walsh has been Ringo Starrs brother in law since 1981. His wife (Marjorie Bach) sister Barbara Bach is married to Ringo.
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!
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." 😂
One of my favorite songs - quirky - describing the rock and roll dream all with a sense of humor
I love how he mixes the acoustic guitar in there.
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.."
Just saw Joe Walsh live, sing both of those songs two nights ago with The Eagles. Frigging Awesome Concert. They were playing here in Houston at The Toyota Center.
We loved this song when it came out! Made us laugh and love his music even more.
This is pure Joe Walsh.😂😂😂😂😂
This whole album is great!
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.
loved this track from joe walsh played it hundreds of times allways sounds different!
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.
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
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.
"If you got any fireworks, when you get home, lock yourself in the closet and light everything ya got." - Joe Walsh
Hi Joe see you in new Zealand soon regards aa❤Nell YES!!
This came out when I was a freshman in college. I think I subconsciously decided the lifestyle behind this song would be a good plan for college. And yet I still graduated. Thanks Joe! :)
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
G'day guys, this took me back to the late eighties in Perth. They had a radio show on Sunday nights called especially for headphones and they would play an album in its entirety and they would chat with the artist. Right after the flock of wah wahs , they had Joe give a community service type announcement telling kids not to do drugs in the most stoner voice I had ever heard. It had me crying laughing. I'll never forget it. Thanks for another great video
Phil: "Where are we going Joe?" A: With Mr. Walsh always somewhere good. Seen Joe Walsh a couple of times and the man definitely knows how to have a good time. Plus, he can play the hell out of his Guitar. "I can't complain but sometimes I still do." Great line, along with all the other ones. Next song by Joe, "Funk #49", with his first big band, The James Gang.
WOW! The memories that just flooded my head, We all listened to this a lot, lots of parties with Joe, Glen and the Eagles. Surprised I still know the words. We’d all sing this at the top of our lungs. Thanks for this!
Who doesn't love Joe? Really who wouldn't want to hang out with this dude. He has the best rock and roll stories.
Joe Walsh is one of the greatest guitar players EVER! And former presidential candidate Joe Walsh from 1982!
Hello again from New England...Yes Joe certainly knew how to have a good time lol Especially when he was in the Eagles.. There's a documented account of the GOAT comedian John Belushi hanging out with Walsh in a hotel room while he was on tour with the Eagles and Walsh used an actual chainsaw to totally destroy a hotel room so again yes Mr Joe Walsh knew how to have one hell of good time 😮😅😅 Great song too shows how versatile Joe actually is 😎✌️🧐🤘 Those sounds at the end are the sounds of stoned musicians messing around in the studio lol 😊
One of the most LOL set of lyrics ever released.
I saw Joe do this with the Eagles 06/15/80 Giants Stadium NJ. I was 13.
Such a fun song to crank up in the car, roll down the windows to let everyone hear.
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.
In the City is a great Joe Walsh song.
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.
Growing up in as a teenager in 70's Joe Walsh was one of my favorites. Big guitar sound (talent) and big personality. He changed The Eagles dramatically in, dare I say it, a big way when he joined them. What a brilliant and unique talent and human being. Also, he really is just a regular guy and funny as hell.
This song was based on his life at the time😂😂💕! Have a Blessed Day 🦋
This one of my favorite videos ever. Just a shot of the record player and the albums cover for 8 minutes
The way you did the advertising for the sleep mask sounds like you're on a game show describing a prize.
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.....
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
This is such a fun song!! ❤❤
You guys are so fun!!❤️❤️❤️
"Life of Illusion" is also great
Joe and Keith Moon drummer of The Who were known for tearing up and trashing motel rooms
He said "The worst thing that ever happened to me was when Keith Moon decided he liked me."
Check out the "James Gang" with Joe Walsh, song is called "FUNK 49". It's more RnR then his later stuff.
"I can't play mandolin...... my fingers are way too big." -Joe Walsh randomly during an interview with Carvin guitars while high as a kite.
My favorite version of this is on the Eagles ONE Tour, Melbourne Australia.
