And then they FUK Felder, the man that had a huge role in them becoming one of the great bands.....I'm happy as Hell that Fingers Felder is laughing every time that Tribute band that still call themselves the Eagles play Hotel California and his bank account gets a little fatter!!
No doubt Felder can play, but Walsh > Felder 24/7/365. DF can't sing a lick either. While Joe's voice is not terrific, it has a character all it's own, and it fits the kind of songs that he writes.
I’m putting a request into Heaven right now that this music is playing in my area up there. 🙌🔆 Rock , Motown & metal better be there or I’m not going lol
How is he underrated if he’s in RnRHOF, The Musicians HOF, is one half of one of the greatest rock duos of all time, had his double neck guitar displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, has his Fender guitar on display in the Nashville museum and is credited as having written one of the greatest songs of all time? The word underrated never has and never will apply to him.
Yes, Felder is a solid player who uses little "phrases" or pockets around the neck in his playing. Joe was good friends with him before Joe came to the Eagles. That is one kick ass twin guitar attack man!
The first concert I went to was march 27,1993. Glenn Frey and Joe Walsh. I was 18. Bought my first guitar right after and the ticket stubs are framed on my wall next to the guitars and a corner dedicated to the eagles. Life changed radically after that night!!!
@@Duckfan707 The Filmore east concert with the Allman Brothers in 70 or 71 right before they lost Duane Allman and Oakley was and still is one of the best concerts ever in history..I wasn't there but dammit I sure wish I had been..but at 5 years old I don't think they let kids in concerts at that time..but who knows they had more freedom and better weed back then..
I saw Eagles at Oakland stadium and the played turned to stone , and I said to my bro...that's better than Joe Walsh ...the guy next to me says that is Joe Walsh he joined the Eagles.....what a God combination!!!! 1977.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with this version, but I prefer Joe's solo live version, which was without a doubt one of the greatest moments in classic rock history. The clip is on RUclips, go find it.
Cool to compare the different versions between the James Gang and the Eagles. Both incredible because of Joe and interesting how it can sound like an Eagles original with their rhythm and drums. Just a great Joe song. And the Don Felder touch is so sweet.
@@stevenparker7946 Originally on the first Barnstorm album, then he did it again a couple years later in his "solo" career (though the Barnstom folks were still mostly with him for that).
So many saying they love Joe Walsh and his guitar playing here. Yes indeed! However, the magic that propelled the Eagles to superstardom was the mix, blend and teamwork of their arrangements once Felder and Walsh joined the group. This was a Joe Walsh original and he started it off in fine fashion. But who led out in the long solo? Not Joe but Don Felder, switching in an instant from rhythm to lead and then, after several brilliant bars, Joe joined in and suddenly we had a dual lead medley (reminiscent of Hotel California), but who took up the solid rhythm foundation when Joe and Don started dueling? This wasn't an overdub in a studio, this was live. Of course, (although we barely saw him in the video) it was Glenn Frey who seamlessly took over for Joe as he joined Don in those soaring, incredible lead licks! Joe didn't try to dominate his own song. Instead he let the full talent of the entire team shine in its brilliance. This wasn't a Jam session either, it was very well planned, played and orchestrated. Ego and pride may have led to their eventual breakup (twice) but when those emotions were shelved, the best music of the century came through, as history has witnessed now for 5 decades.
why are you stating your opinion as fact? well here’s my opinion: Joe Walsh is one of the few reasons to listen to the eagles and his solo stuff is leaps and bounds better than the watered down pop country that the eagles mostly were.
What's an Awesomely underrated Joe Walsh.. And... Don Felder.. With Killer Leads... and the Eagles song.... Kick Ass Rock and Roll music....2024... Hell Yeah.. Mr Dilly.. Approved.!!!! 👍 🎸 😎 ❤️
It really is too bad that Don and Glenn had to run the Eagles like a dictatorship, I always thought the best version of them was with Felder and I bet it burns Don's ass that Felder wrote their biggest hit
It burned Glenn more than Don probably. Don Henley discovered the nucleus of the what became Hotel California on one of Felder's idea tapes. He would send them over to Henley and Henley would sift through them and pick out what he liked. He told Felder he liked the "Mexican Bolero" thing and boom the rest is history. Phenomenal guitar work meets top songwriter/vocalist. But because of the contractual workings of the Eagles Don Felder got far less royalties than Glenn and Henley. This eventually broke up the band.
It's sort of a cover by The Eagles of a Joe song - but he WAS a member at the time. Some of them (especially Felder) also played with Joe before he got into the Eagles as "guest artists".
I love everything about joe Walsh..i have 3 guitar player that i will forever love..Joe Walsh and Dickey Betts may he rest easy and Jimmy Page ..oh yeah and i have to say the great late Stevie Ray Vaughan.. I know there are so many more out there like johnny Copeland who was out of Texas a blues player..
Nope. Barnstorm 1972. He left JG at the end of ‘71. Though it is based on Kent State May 4 1970, so I wonder if a few phrases weren’t used here & there.
It's crazy some of the comments people say that how many Eagles are left and that Joe Walsh wasn't really an eagle he might not have been the original member but he was certainly an eagle and boy was he one of the best Hitman Feldman
I think the one thing that allowed Walsh to stick around as long as he did was that he didn't feel beholden to the Eagles for giving him a gig. He had his solo career to fall back on. He could be successful without them and they realized that. I think that bought him some leeway. Plus it allowed him to be less political in terms of the band dynamic.
Given that Walsh wrote or co-wrote at least some Eagles songs (and they also performed some of HIS songs at times - LIKE THIS ONE), he was a real Eagle. Just not an original one.
@@bricefleckenstein9666 Felder and Walsh lineup is the Eagles at their best. And Joe was a legend before the Eagles got started. Rocky Mountain Way, Life's Been Good, Funk 49, Turn to Stone and others played by the Eagles.
@@dlpw9084 No argument on the legend, but I thought Life's Been Good came after the Eagles. Funk 49 was James Gang, though Joe was part of them at the time and I think he was writer or co-writer on it.
This is unreal both Walsh and Felder are out of this world here. Interestingly even Henley is killing it on the drums - awesome clip. The twin guitars shredding sounds like a real precursor to Hotel California but I like this just as much -maybe even more.!
I remember being in the 8th grade and my older sister said to me “Hey, did you hear? Joe Walsh is joining with the Eagles! What a perfect marriage, but I think Joe can complement any musical ensemble.
Best live version of this song on the internet! Walsh and Felder did great together. It is a shame the band hated Felder at the end. It was so good back in the day not knowing all the drama bands dealt with day to day.
That resentment built with tour after tour after tour...if they took consistent vacations like Leadon suggested, I dare say the original lineup would have performed together this entire time.
I just received a 3 albums from a company in California . this is the eagles from 1976 live at the forum in Huston tx. It took me months to find this version and I have it now. The quality is a little off but I think it was a concert on the radio.
@timothymolony it on e bay for 58.00 . It came from a company in California. It the eagles live at the summit in Houston TX from 1976 live. Good luck . It's a good album
And when you think about it Joe Walsh was not even a original member of The Eagles Antonio evolved they were country and then changed to soft rock Zen Hotel California
It's too bad, egos get in the way of music. I think it has more to do with the "owners" of the industry than it has to do with the musicians. What a privileged life it can be but some fall for the ownership, monetary/material side of expression. Joe didn't. When you put these guys together, it was a chemistry that wouldn't have been without each one of them. It should have been valued as such, not some groveling as to their own importance.
Folks; let me make this abundantly clear 2 u all. While the term "underrated" maybe controversial in some circles; that term does have legitimacy. From my stance; it DEFINITELY APPLIES 2 DON FELDER!!!!! His style clearly defines the Eagles' sound yet very few give Donnie his recognition. Nvrthlss; Don Felder is CLEARLY A "GUITAR GOD"!!!!!! I SALUTE DONNIE F. 2 THE HILT!!!!!!

Man, when the Eagles decided to “add a rock edge” when they replaced their original guitarist, Bernie Leadon, with Walsh and Felder, what a home run!
Then followed by adding the excellent T.B Schmidt, another good choice.
Too bad Henely and Frey wanted note perfect music. Walsh and Felder could have put 2-3 tracks like this on HC and TLR each.
These toe to toe, eye to eye twin guitar solos are what put the Eagles in their own league.
They put Felder and Walsh in their own league.
And then they FUK Felder, the man that had a huge role in them becoming one of the great bands.....I'm happy as Hell that Fingers Felder is laughing every time that Tribute band that still call themselves the Eagles play Hotel California and his bank account gets a little fatter!!
This is pure Joe Walsh 💥💥💥 He was doing this long before the Eagles
That’s what I love about him
The Eagles were merely a side project for Mr. Walsh.
this was originally a james gang track.
Don Felder taught Joe walsh how to play guitar

I'd have to agree love playing this tune on my street glide
One of his best for sure

5 geniais músicos trás o frescor de minha infância
Isso é magia genial
I grew up in the wrong era. Born in 93. Joe Walsh and Don Felder shred those guitars. Nothing like getting stoned when that solo hits. Holy shit

You poor basterEd. NO offense. I was born in 57. So I got the good stuff
Grab all the videos of any concerts from 1977 .

When Walsh had the Eagles as his backing band to play his personal stuff he really was untouchable...sheesh!!!
For sure!! Such a shame that Henley and Frey were such egotistical Azzholes!!
Talent knows talent.
Dumb comment.
Really wished he and Felder would have broken off and formed their own band back then.
Can't believe they stayed together as long as they did. ALL THAT TALENT c'mon man
Nobody's talking about the nasty triplets Don is pecking out back there on the skin's, very few drummers dig in the hat's like him,awesome groove
Yea, he made that 'close your eyes and smile while you shake your head' nasty.
They don't make em like that any more.....

Glenn Fry wasn't a very good guitar person or band mate. Don Felder and Joe Walsh play together like no other guitarists.

Fingers felder my favorite eagle and guitar player
I love this, I have forgotten all about this song… Eagles was so good.with Joe.
There's no doubt that each and every one of the Eagles had a special talent but Joe Walsh was definitely a generational Talent
Good 'ol Days Man
Pure Magic 🤘🤘. Absolutely The Best Dual Guitar Solos Ever ❤️❤️🙏
I think it both of their very best performances
Amazing!!! Two legends
Don was screwed over by the 2 greedy jackoffs in the band
What a groove.
This has got to be the most laid back version of this song I've ever heard.
Give it a bit different angle.
I always thought Joe took a step down when he joined the Eagles
But this is Joe song The Eagles just collaborated on it with him and if you ask me it's in the top 10 of all time guitar duels
It's sort of a cover by The Eagles of a Joe song - but he WAS a member at the time.
Some of them (especially Felder) also played with Joe before he got into the Eagles as "guest artists".
This a great share. Two greats. Joes driving melody❤ he wrote it, but with Felder they mastered it.
Henley is just not up to the task... He's horrible.
This is The Eagles that we should’ve got-one without Glenn Frey
Just Fantastic... This is the best Eagles line up for sure....
