Les Paul with Lou Pallo and Gary Mazzaroppi wish Joe Walsh a Happy Birthday , Joe takes Les's Guitar and plays a blues in A song . Fat Tuesday's 11/19/90
Funny that I found this today. Yesterday ,I just recorded James Gangs' 2 record vinyl record set "16 Greatest Hits" onto a 90 minute Maxell cassette. Yes I still use cassettes and have a collection of 450 cassettes of classic rock artists. My 1993 Toyota Corrolla has a cassette player too. YaDig??? Talk about rockin' down the highway with four speakers. Heaven!!
showed so much respect to Les. Joe is capable of playing so much more than he did. This wasn’t a guitar duel to him but more about respect and honor to the great Les Paul. ✌🏻😎🎸
Well that's just it; being able to shred arpeggios and play a thousand notes per second isn't so much the measure of a "good" guitar player but a lack of confidence. Being "good" is all about sounding good.
Joe is one of the most generous & conciousness people on the planet. Like here, sharing lead with the other guitarist. I saw him in concert in the early mid 70's. He brought out 2 black dudes to sing background on a couple tunes & when finished, they both walked off stage in darkness. Joe quickly signaled to hit them with a light, then gave prop man a thumbs-up. That's stuck with me all these many years.
@@Smoothways correct. JW doesn’t give a crap what he says or what mumbling ramblings he goes off on after he does a decent interview or decent play on the guitar. I watched that video and liked it until he had to ruin it by saying something so freaking dumb and classless especially in front of Les Paul. He couldn’t keep that thought in his head? I’m not a prude either but that wasn’t funny.
My mom sings some blues and jazz on the weekends with her band and her guitar playing husband. They got to play with Les at his club a few years before his passing.
People like Les Paul, Chet Atkins, Chuck Berry all the old blues guys & guys like that were more than just great guitar pickers, they were entertainers that HAD to learn how to work a crowd out of necessity in their early days! it's an art form that unfortunately is almost extinct nowadays
Joe your willingness to Share your God-given talent, then put others in the Limelight right there with you, warms my Heart. Where else can you see that kind of magnanimity?! And the Humor you exude too, priceless! And of course, Les Paul, you are dearly missed Sir.
You are so right. He’s one of the best guitarists from back when he played with the James Gang and then he had a solid solo career. The Eagles took much notice and hired him to replace Bernie Ledon.
Another beautiful scene...the talented, kind, Les Paul inviting the talented Joe Walsh to play on Les'' guitar. Man, that is a nice man. Joe played beautifully and sang the blues..soulfully. A great unplanned gig!! Thank you for uploading.
What a sweet video. Les Paul acting like a gentlemen. Joe Walsh struggling with his addiction and yet still able to perform. Many veterans like Les Paul would have made a joke at Joe's expense. Les Paul handled the situation gracefully. Many thanks to the people responsible for posting this.
Sir Joe Walsh so talented great guitar player..artistic and flexible..you eyes cant close when watching him play. started watching him as back from the 70's his music today still stand the challenge of new artist.
Meeting a legend like Les Paul, being handed his guitar was livin' a dream for Joe Walsh. 😎 When Joe first strums, the distinct sound of Paul's guitar cannot be ignored. Beautifull!😎
This is brilliant on many levels and inspiring, Joe Walsh with Les Paul's Les Paul in this environment.....farrrrrrk. Iam gonna pick my Les Paul up right now!

In 1973 Les Paul came to Dayton Band, a music store in Ohio where I took lessons for many years. He played foralmost two hours, told stories, told jokes answer the questions and was absolutely fantastic. He was by himself and he had all his looping and his tape machines and really old school stuff many wish he had made in his garage.
relentlessmadman I had met Les many times. I have an old Les Paul signed by him. I know lots of people that played with him. Then again I’m in New York and New Jersey all the time
As well he should. Joe Walsh was a clown compared to Les Paul. Who thinks of innovative and amazing guitarists and thinks of Joe Walsh? He's lucky to be alive.
Les Paul, such a talented guy in so many areas. Funny as any comedian I've ever heard work a crowd too! We miss you Les! As far as Joe Walsh goes, he's Joe Walsh!
Joe and Les had a common bond outside of music, both of them had a great sense of humor and could inject it straight into a song at a moment's notice. Take care!
Nobody appreciated the art & artists as much as Les Paul. Enjoyed playing and sharing with everyone. Fabulous clip! A Big THANKS for posting this wonderful video!
Personal Manager by Albert King. The original is smokin' hot. Brilliant selection by Joe on the spur of the moment. He may have been under the weather, but his guitar playing didn't show it. Hat's off.
Steve Lukather (guitarist/writer Toto) is the one that tells Les Paul its Joe’s bday then grabs him on the shoulder! Great piece of history right here.
Saw Les Paul once,in Manhattan downstairs in the village,fantastic show,and Mr.Paul is was such a nice Human Being,respected everybody,allowed myself and My Girl,to sit and talk with Him after the show for about a half hour,what a wonderful person,miss Him,RIP,Mr.Paul.
I've seen the Eagles twice and Joe Walsh 3 times....my life would be a lot less if it were not for these events in Rock n Roll History. While I was never lucky enough to see Les Paul in person I've heard hundreds who play his guitars and got their inspiration from him. A true American Treasure.
Winter. 1969. Funk 49 had been out for a few weeks. My roomie and I snuck into the Student Center before closing and hid from the cleaning folks overnight. At 8 am when they opened, there was a line of 30 people freezing outside the door, lined up for tickets for The James Gang. We got the front row middle four seats that way. Curtains open, and there's Joe in front of stacks of Marshalls. It was by far the best concert I've ever seen. Everyone was standing and rocking out. Joe was so dominant I don't remember a single thing about the drummer and bass player. He just killed. At one point he had two Leslies on opposites sides of the stage hooked up to a Hammond B3. Literally mind-blowing. The gig was premised on the fact that Joe had to promise he would not get high before the performance, was the rumor. Anti-drug by the 'authorities' was a big thing in those days. Can't really blame them, I guess. Joe was so high it appeared he never opened his eyes for the entire 2 hours. (He's straight as an arrow these days, so bully for him). And he still played his ass off. When Fender had their '50 Years of the Stratocaster' celebration concert, about 15 of the best guitar players in the world performed. They were all great. Joe just smoked everybody.
Joe shows his class and smarts here. You can hear Les' guitar is out-of-tune, so when Joe comes on, he doesn't tune the guitar on stage, out of respect. Then he chooses a blues tune with 9th chords which is perfect with the single-note stuff and lets the guitar be easier to manage. Plus he's always great with the crowd.
Respect is not tuning up? You are trying really hard to put a happy face on this one! LOL! He played worse than I ever heard him play before, but he sang well.
None of them would be anything, none of us would be anything but acoustic guitar players if it wasn’t for Les Paul. It’s amazing to watch one legend pay respects to another legend. And then, they both jam. What a night that must’ve been!
I saw Joe with the Eagles live Cominskey Park Chicago, 1978. The entire concert was the Eagles headlined, Steve Miller, Pablo Cruise, Walter Egan. My #1 concert ever. I was 16!!!
I love Joe Walsh. Especially in his difficult days. I appreciate his bravery in sobriety.
Wow what an honor. Les hands him his guitar to play. I don't care how big a star you are, all bow their heads to Les.
God it's good to be old, to have grown up with . . .these guys.
No It's not good to be Old 🥺 are you friggin nuts 🥺
I agree with his second point, and you can’t have the second without the first, so. It is what it is.
As Joe says it was more fun to be 20 in the 70s than 70 in the 20s

Sounds dope
Les Paul is a national treasure. Rest in peace, guitar man.
No shit
dquaidman AMEN!
No doubt about that. The guy contributed so much to music.
Indubitably! When I think of the guitar, I think of Les Paul and Chet Atkins, two GIANTS
Joe too
Joe Walsh is pure gold and the public knows it
Looks very drugged too ;)
The public did not know how to respond at the end when he requested to follow him. Feels like they did not know the lyrics
Simply priceless two legends casually interacting with unspoken respect for each other
showed so much respect to Les. Joe is capable of playing so much more than he did. This wasn’t a guitar duel to him but more about respect and honor to the great Les Paul. ✌🏻😎🎸

Joe is just a cool guy, and to get to play Les’s guitar? PRICELESS. I would give anything to have gotten the chance to do that. R.I.P. Les ❤️🎸

Where did you see him?
Who has the guts to start playing a song about face-sitting with Les Paul’s Les Paul, in front of ...Les Paul.? You’re the man Joe!! 👍

Joe is such an underrated talent. Never mentioned with the greats, but should be.
You are so right. He’s one of the best guitarists from back when he played with the James Gang and then he had a solid solo career. The Eagles took much notice and hired him to replace Bernie Ledon.
A great blues man, a great rocker, a great guy. Everyone knows this, even if he doesn’t make anyone’s “list”.
A long time member of the Eagles is not underated in the presence of the greats!
@@michaelburdett9247 A very good point sir!
@@PaulC39 he wasn't right for the Eagles, they were not the same musically.
That stand up bass lights this on fire
every guitar player no matter how good became so humble in front of les paul
Amazing ! Crazy Joe and Les Paul jamming! Total respect!

Joe Walsh leaves me smiling :)
Always. For a moment it sounded like he was going to play "All night laudromat blues". Funny guy.
Sir Joe Walsh so talented great guitar player..artistic and flexible..you eyes cant close when watching him play. started watching him as back from the 70's his music today still stand the challenge of new artist.
Straordinario Joe Walsh 🧡 He always plays in a different way..... A genius
Seen Joe Walsh front row a few times. He rocks.
Joe Walsh always seems so real.
Clearanceman2 No, I'm afraid that was an ersatz Joe Walsh.
yup. a real moron
Yes, Joe Walsh is 100%, that much class.
He's for sure🏆 real
Kid Kool You’re an idiot dude. Why are you even here?
Little Joe Walsh; mighty man!
I love music that comes from the heart at the spur of the moment. Great music.
Joe is an extraordinary player and personality!
It’s so hard to say “ I love you” when you’re sittin on my face.,. Haaaa that’s gonna be stuck in my head now!!
I love this video and I will protect it.
Thanks for your love and support ♥️
Anyone else smile through this entire video?
😊😊😊😊😂❤
Les Paul introducing Joe Walsh. I love both artists . This is a great video.
Watched a couple of these now. Both were gems. Thanks for digging them up and uploading.
This pure gold.
30 years later and Joe is still winging it. Confidence is everythng.
His voice is as if not better than his youth...one thing he has never changed also is the genuine humbling soul...
That’s a Les Paul Guitar!
Unmistakable🥰
Love it
No pressure. Les Paul just hands you his guitar. Play something.
No shit. Like Elvis askin you to fill in for a moment.
And do it 4 drinks deep too, like Clapton or SRV
Joe did it like a pro
Meeting a legend like Les Paul, being handed his guitar was livin' a dream for Joe Walsh. 😎
When Joe first strums, the distinct sound of Paul's guitar cannot be ignored.
Beautifull!😎
Yeah but who better to hand it to then how walsh
This is brilliant on many levels and inspiring, Joe Walsh with Les Paul's Les Paul in this environment.....farrrrrrk.
Iam gonna pick my Les Paul up right now!
Thank you RUclips!!! These clips would have been lost in archives without this medium.
Great tone. Both of them! Some soulful playing from Joe! ❤️
Joe Walsh definitely looks like he lost his license and now he don't drive.
R.I.P. Les Paul and Joe Walsh is a National treasure as well.

Joe Walsh called Les Paul "Sir". Joe Walsh! Just goes to show the respect he has for Les
As well he should. Joe Walsh was a clown compared to Les Paul. Who thinks of innovative and amazing guitarists and thinks of Joe Walsh? He's lucky to be alive.
I Love this video . Its sooooo damn cool ,Joe sings and plays with a lot of feeeeling .
Les Paul, such a talented guy in so many areas. Funny as any comedian I've ever heard work a crowd too! We miss you Les!
As far as Joe Walsh goes, he's Joe Walsh!
"As far as Joe Walsh goes, he's Joe Walsh!" Yep. "There goes the neighborhood".
Joe and Les had a common bond outside of music, both of them had a great sense of humor and could inject it straight into a song at a moment's notice. Take care!
I see W has one subscriber and No videos
Thing is, none of 'em is Les Paul, and never will be. I love Joe Walsh but he is who he is. Can't change his spots this late in life.
Who would want too?
That was great, LP is a funny guy. Now Joe Walsh I just love him, he is some jokester. That was fantastic.
"EVERYONE TAKE LEAD!" Oh Joe, you're awesome.
Joe’s such a natural player!
Nobody appreciated the art & artists as much as Les Paul. Enjoyed playing and sharing with everyone.
Fabulous clip! A Big THANKS for posting this wonderful video!

"Everybuddy play lead." Joe Walsh my kindaband leader.

Truer words were never spoken.
Just bloody wonderful many thanks love both of these guys magic
My hero and inspiration together. Wow. Joe and Les together. How cool is this. The ending is great.
Joe Walsh hammered still rocked the entire crowd!
Joe Walsh is so cool
Such beautiful tone from that Les Paul. A great tribute from Joe to Les.
That was great. Les had such a great sense of humor.
Personal Manager by Albert King. The original is smokin' hot. Brilliant selection by Joe on the spur of the moment. He may have been under the weather, but his guitar playing didn't show it. Hat's off.
For all the wanna bees out there, shut up or get up there and swap licks with Joe already !!!!

Or stoned🤫
As Joe says, "I only got drunk once... For 25 years"
Joe got to play his Les Paul
So cool

Awesome! simply awesome...
Phenomenal! These are a gem.

Aye, that same Uncle in my family served in Vietnam.
Happy Uncle Joe......
Ah we were so young lol

Anthony Banovic the funny thing is that all of that was probably true at this time
The last bit had me falling off my seat with laughter. Typical of Joe. LOL
All I can say is Happy Birthday Joe and this is awesome.
Wow , hanging out with Joe Walsh and Less Paul in a smoky lounge bar would be so cool !
Nothing wrong with this..it must have been a real treat for all! I wish I was there!
He's playing Personal Manager by Albert King

Thought I recognized it😀
Yepper!

Srv definitely took this song to the moon... ol Albert was the dude in srv arsenal for sure
Love the respect Joe pays Les.....two beautiful people.
He got asked on stage to play les Pauls les Paul Joe Walsh is a legend
It's fun watching the interaction of Les Paul with younger guys that made their living with electric guitar.
Love his voice.
Winter. 1969. Funk 49 had been out for a few weeks.

Christopher Lees yes man! Don’t fuck with his guitar. It’s that simple...you think this guitar play is bad? WTF?!? Dude open your ears!
Rubbish. The chords he plays before the blues show that the guitar is fairly in tune. It's true Joe is an excellent player however.
Joe Walsh is ... the DUDE.
It is beautiful! Bravo!
JOES FROM KANSAS,lot of talent comes from Kansas,damn joe you are amazing,simply amazing
