Just listened to "Rides Again" yesterday, 'Closet Queen' was the song that convinced me to sell my 'Schwinn Stingray' bicycle and buy my first electric guitar (1971). 'Tend My Garden' has since been my favorite track for the last couple of decades, though.
I was a sophomore at Defiance College in Ohio when James Gang played in the sports arena on Saturday April 17, 1971. The only time Joe put down his guitar was when he sat down at the Hammond B3 organ to play and sing "Tend My Garden."
My older cousin gave me Rides Again when I was still like 4th-5th grade in the 70s. It’s the cornerstone of my entire rock listening world! So cool to see Fox & Peters & Joe jamming-made even better by the keyboardist Joe had wanted included in the band before splitting!
this takes be back to my first concert....james gand with joe....thirds had just been released......i was 15 then now 67...always loved the first 3 albums..then the tommy bolin las were solid too
Mine too! 1971, Baltimore Maryland. I was just shy of my 16th and am now 67. October 14th. I think the concert was in September. Incredible to see the same three guys together again!
Saw them in Madison Wisconsin the same year……very first concert at the age of 16……Paul Butterfield Blues Band….along with the Five Man Electrical Band……will never forget…….it was a rare treat to see them again over 50 years later….we are blessed!!!!
I saw them on a recent reunion tour. The entire company audience sang along with every song. I think they played their entire catalog. Magnificent! Wish there was a new album in the works.
James Gang was the first "hard rock" group I really listened to and made my own, even before Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. The Bomber was the tune I loved the most (with headphones on for all those cool cross-over guitar riffs). Until then (14 yo) it had been bubble-gum pop, light R&B, and the Beatles for me. I guess James Gang and Joe Walsh really connected with the testosterone newly flowing thru me. LOL!
Bought my first James Gang in 1970 at Licorice Pizza. Loved them then and still do with this lineup. Thank you so much to them, and for this being posted to RUclips.
Regarding the Bolero section of The Bomber, where does a teenager get the influence to even know Bolero in order to incorporate it into a tune? This was written before the movie "10" which made Bolero famous. Musical genius. That is all I can say
It was usually highlighted in 'music appreciation' classes. I think it was more accessible and memorable to youngsters than most classical pieces because of the persistent snare drum and recurring simple, but beguiling melody. When I first heard The Bomber it blew my mind because we'd only covered 'Bolero' a month previously in a music class. I regret that they used it for the 10 film. Integrating 'Cast Your Fate To The Wind' into the song was also brilliant.
I think it was from Jeff Beck's "Beck's Bolero" tune(cowritten by Jimmy Page). "how many more times" from Zeppelin 1 also had that rhythm. Imo that's probably where Joe got it from.
As a 30 year fan of Joe Walsh and James Gang, these songs are just incredible! Sounds like the old days. Now if only Joe and Don Felder could come together. Life is short, guys! Don't waste it in anger!
it's not anger Jed, the idiot duo of Don Henley and Glen Fry used their attorney to bar Joe and Don from receiving royalties from Eagles music if they ever perform together.
Ironically they couldn't hold this in Veteran's Memorial where most of the big concerts occurred, because it was demolished by developers for progress.
He was wearing the black pants with silver bandoleros down the side in 1971, for certain. You see them over and over again. Hopefully they're not the same pair.
Maybe 30+ years ago. Not now. It’s simply too exhausting. This was just before his 75th birthday. I remember 2-3 50 minute sets starting at 9pm in ‘69. So this was = to ONE of Two or Three of their nightly sets playing that aggressively …when we were all young… I’d be forever grateful if they did a tour with two 40 minute sets so Lost Woman, Bluebird, etc could be covered again…but I can’t imagine it without chemical enhancement…
the core trio were joined by keyboardist Bill Appleberry, plus backing vocalists Gia Ciambotti, Robbyn Kirmsse and Stacy Michelle. The band made there most recent performance at the Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert at Wembley stadium on 3rd September 2022.
Tend my garden is one of the great rock tracks of all time .
Saw them in the early 70's......Set 1 was all guitar, set 2 started with Joe on B-3 doing this song.
The 70’s were some of the very best years to grow up in!
I honestly never thought that these songs would be played again live. Incredible!!
Saw them in Boston in 1971 AWESOME !

Sounded great back in the day and still sounding great today. James Gang Rides Again!!!!!!!

Joe didn’t join the eagles - they joined Joe Walsh.
The James Gang was/is a fantastic band. Starting with their early days at the Chesterland Hulabaloo
There is nothing like “the Bomber” played LOUD!
HARD TO BEAT THE BOMBER AT ANY LEVEL !!! M.O'B
"I never thought we'd get this far, so we're doing great!" 🤙🏽👌🏽👍🏽✌🏽 🍻!!!
Homegown growin my own inspired me more than 50 years ago

Peters and Foxx - great players.

Great songs and great playing, this was the old school way.
Tasteful and melodic is Joe’s brilliance.
goose bumps & tears,,,,,nuff said
Me too..... I grew up in NE Ohio and they were "of us"....
I saw them in Toronto in the early 70s they were really tight great show! 🇨🇦🎸🎼

Jimmy Fox is still sensational.
Yeah, he sure does get overlooked on greatest drummer polls/ lists or whatever you want to call them.
The James Gang were the 1st concert I ever went to. I was 13.
The first time I heard “More than a feeling” (Boston) I thought to myself, 🤔 now where have I heard that riff before?
This chord progression isn't exactly the same More Than A Feeling but Boston may have gotten some inspiration from it.
When I was very young I got turned to all this music I used to play all air instruments brings back great memories.
Love Joe more than Santa
That opening gives me chills on the album, and double chills seeing and hearing it here.
🙏 Thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Blows my mind when peeps talk non stop during a great show. It's really disheartening...💚🎸
Seems like yesterday that they were the house band at JB's.
Joe still gotzit! You changed the world with your music!

Joe's parents were musicians of the more classical and some jazz influence. He got it from home.

The James Gang was always about Joe Walsh/ but the drummer was truly exceptional !!!
JOE WALSH AWESOME IN CONCERT!!! M.O'B
Hate cell phone concerts but this is epic ! The late Expressway Dale Coleman . Mike R
“tend my garden” leading into “asshton park”
Thanks for the heads up!
Damn good
Jimmy and Dale sound great! Joe's having a rough time.
I swear Joe had those pants in the 70s

@@jedd.5407 Pretty sure the keyboardist for this show is Mark Avsec, a founding member of the Donnie Iris band.
