I was 16 in 1976 and we all thought this was the coolest song. Turned it way up whenever it came on the radio. The song was already 3 or 4 yrs old but FM radio played it a lot. Man, those were fun times.
Elmer told me the new music is pure wubbish and this is the way to...un-ba weeveable this never gets old 😂😂😂OHHHHH LAAAWD HAVE MERCY HELLZ BELLZ ADELE!!!
Back in the early 1990’s I was a cross country truck driver and always played this song going up or coming down the Rockies on I-70, these days I’m a local fuel transport driver in South Texas and this song brings back good memories and luck because I couldn’t do it again specially during winter time.
This was a hit before FM radio. You had to buy the vinyl. Or eight track. Otherwise, you'd have to wait and hoped they played it on late night AM radio. Good times. :)
Man just hanging out last night in the backyard with the dog looking at a few stars getting bit by a couple of mosquitoes and this song came on, it's been a looong time since I heard it and I'm willing to bet it was the first time my neighbors heard it...
I grew up in the 70's and in BC's Rockies, I still live here, I keep coming back, so yep, I live the rocky mountain way. Time to spark my joint and get much higher.🤣
Joe you ROCKED THEN as you do Now!! Loved your music 🎶 FOREVER, loving you BEING with the EAGLES, hopefully YOU'LL Rock something New when that's OVER,Too!! Love you, Joe, Thanks for all your great music 🎶!!
Really such a great mix, and in so many ways every bit the hit that it should have been. Ahead of its time and timeless to this day. Never get tired of this one from Mr. Walsh!
One of the rock legends singing a rock legend's song. Joe Walsh still has it going on. JOE I do listen to other rock but you are on my books along with the Rolling Stones and The Who and also AC/DC. You are truly one of rock's greatest artists on earth.
Well, I'll put it this way. Joe knew The Who and partied with Keith Moon the drummer back in the day. They "stayed up" for some days without sleep and they blew a toilet out in a mans bathroom in a hotel room below them with the supplies Keith chose in a hardware store. No one was hurt. It did cost some money but what the hell, they both had that. You may be a little young to know that "Who Are You" is not just the theme to CSI.
Nice post. I love this song, from the first time I heard it: cutting class, spending the day drinking my friend's parent's booze while they weren't home.....good times kids
It's amazing how we can hear a song and instantly be taken back to those days. How clearly you can remember where you were, who you were with and what you were doing when you first heard a song. Music...........the best keeper of memories!!
I'm here because of a memory too...but it's my Senior Ball and dancing to this song with my love...it was just a perfect night and for some reason I really remember dancing to this song that night...Sigh!!!
This song is rumored to be about John Denver and a rocked out version of "Rocky Mountain High" which came out the year before. Could be, but in the sources I've found, Walsh stated that it was about his time with The James Gang and knowing it was time to leave the band. The lyrics suggest it too like for example, "Taking it play by play, time to change the batter" etc.
great music!! Funny thing just came back from my trip to the Smoky Mountains, went to the rocky Mountains a couple of years ago. What can I say like wild life.
Happy Birthday to the Late Joe Walsh! Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas ☃️🎄 Go HUG someone today IF they're been vaccinated or not 🚫 Blessings and Hugs 💖💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕!
@markherron1407 hate to burst your bubble 💭 Mark, BUT Joe isn't dead,dude, still alive and kickin!!! Try checking out the EAGLES he's been with that band for long time now! They're on a Long Farewell Tour!!!

🙌🙌 Spent the last years🙌🙌 Wooo... sang it yall...
Yes!! 🏞️☀️
the title of the album says what needs to be said. Maintain in the membrane. don't forget who you are. these are the good times
Awesome...always!
Rock de jerarquia, con un halo de melancolía y extraños sonidos que lo hacen único.
I was 6 years old and I can remember. Back when music was actually music and not a bunch of bad language and noise❤
Great song 🎶
Love that picture of the mountains and trees
Me too
One of the rock legends singing a rock legend's song. Joe Walsh still has it going on. JOE I do listen to other rock but you are on my books along with the Rolling Stones and The Who and also AC/DC. You are truly one of rock's greatest artists on earth.

The Rioter He played along side Daryl Hall on something about you. Joe Walsh did some really fine licks.

Accompanying Joe Walsh on lead vocals, guitar, and talkbox are Kenny Passarelli (bass), Joe Vitale (drums), and Rocke Grace (keyboards).
This song is rumored to be about John Denver and a rocked out version of "Rocky Mountain High" which came out the year before. Could be, but in the sources I've found, Walsh stated that it was about his time with The James Gang and knowing it was time to leave the band. The lyrics suggest it too like for example, "Taking it play by play, time to change the batter" etc.
Love me some joe
Great classic tune from my high school days! Thanx for posting!! ED
Lucky, my highschool days consist of Drake and lil pump lmao
great music!! Funny thing just came back from my trip to the Smoky Mountains, went to the rocky Mountains a couple of years ago. What can I say like wild life.

This song is perfect when you are driving in a Ford Raptor with big tires up the mountain.
great song!
Go joe Walsh
nice photo and you got the audio recording perfect, great job on the lyrics, too!!!!
Great choice Megan. Thanks for posting this. :)
Al the eagles were talented. This is pure genius. Lindy
This song always reminds me of Sherri moon zombie when they're all hanging out before getting raided. Devils rejects 🙌🏻
karla e hell yea, bad ass flick.
Otis and baby were badass
Hallelujah
Heard this today for the first time from some old man in a beat up Chrysler Sebring convertible with this louder than Gods rapture trumpet.
0:45 you can't think of "blues rock" without this riff lol.
Zoning out the world rocky mountain way
First line presentation.Congratulations!!
Been the way all my lìfe.
how can this be from 46 yrs ago? i was in an israeli disco/bar singing to this tune - i am an antique lol
4:04 absolutely!
French bands eat your heart out.
Nice photo of Bear Lake in RMNP and the Keyboard of the Gods (jagged mountain formation upper right).
Cool.
Spent the last year Rocky mountain way
I loved this song
Couldn't get much higher
Junior Disbennett that should be Colorado’s motto, and no, not because of the mountains
The Indian Peaks! Recorded at Caribou Ranch which is my backyard to play in
I went up to 10,500 ft in Colorado, and I couldn't get much higher, because I couldn't breathe😅 the air is awfully thin.
Nice Megan
GO ROCKIES!
✨Yeah🌟.........................................................................................................................🌠
The Devil's reject brought me here
YES!! 100% I was looking for this comment! Thank you brother! Great song, GREAT movie!! ✌️
Here I am!
Had the 8 track!
This song & The Stake by Steve Miller Band sound more alike than My Sweet Lord & He's So Fine.
I had to go and listen to "The Stake" after reading your comment. Good catch! I never realized how similar they are.
First heard niteen 73a
