Joe Walsh "Funk #49" Guitar Center Sessions on DIRECTV 

When Joe joined the Eagles in the 70s I thought he was incredibly lucky to get that gig but after years have gone by I think the Eagles are incredibly lucky to get Joe.

The Orchestra Teacher (exceptional Celloist and of course classically trained) where I teach was hired by the Eagles to play while they did their gig in Dallas last year right before COVID...he didn't really know anything about Joe Walsh, they did three nights...when he came back after the first gig, he told he me could not believe what an unbelievable musician Joe Walsh is.

The organ is a really nice addition to this song. Also the backup singers.

I think Walsh deserves more props in that he's one of the few older guys who can still sing!

Joe Walsh is gold. He's never changed.

The coolest rendition of Funk 49 ever! I luv the back-up singers too!

I'm applauding and cheering. Can you hear me? :) I'm 65. This brings me back to the 60's and early 70's. Joe has been such an influence. Most guitarists love him but it still feels like he's underappreciated for what he's done outside of the Eagles.

That pitchbend of that solo bit then back into the song so perfectly.... *shivers* please I need more of this :)

what a treat- damn. We're so lucky to be able to see this stuff with a click of a button.

What a kick ass performance by one of the greatest all time song writers, guitar players and show men. Joe is a legend!

That middle back up singer sets me testes on fire.

how is he still that good after all the debauchery! insane. absolute legend.

That was awesome! He's one of the rare musicians that sounds better live. The man has talent❤

THE REALITY IS THAT TECHNICALLY....JOE DIDNT NEED THE EAGLES...THEY NEEDED HIM MORE AS HE WAS ALREADY POPULAR JUST AS A BAD ASS GUITARIST....It's called fair exchange....Joe gave them Rock credibility & The Eagles gave Joe a bigger, grander platform to stand on for years to come

OMG What a great performance from Joe Walsh that song has been on my for almost 40 years now AWESOME

A bonafide rock hero, and there aren't that many of them. This guy is the real deal, and The Eagles did not deserve him.

What can you say? He's funky, funny and fabulous!! Keep on Rockn' JOE!!

Just love Joe Walsh - nails it with vocals - and that guitar! Awesome!

Will someone please tell Mr. Walsh that we’re still anxiously awaiting Funk #50?

I just love it when I can tell the band is really enjoying what they are doing! Sort of a joint "in the zone".!

One of the absolute best. Walsh man. This sounds amazing too.

First heard Funk #49 in 1969. Never gets old. Nobody cooler than Joe. Tend my garden & Walk Away. Rock and roll.

Joe is so cool , it is so joyful to watch him on stage !

Joe is one of America's most underrated guitarist! And he's awesome!

I have loved this song since I first heard it in '71! Let's Ride Again! Great song! Great artist! THANK YOU for posting this!

Flashed him at an Eagles concert some years ago. The look on his face was priceless! He is some bad ass guitarist.

a song that has soul, is funky, AND rocks, is RARE

Quit drugs and alcohol like Joe if you got a problem! He is better than ever! What a killer musician.

This is the "essence of Rock n Roll,' boogie woogie wag that aluminum cutting plasma torch right through someones house. This man made the biggest recovery/comeback of any rock n roller of all time. I was listening to Funk49 when he, and I were little kids. The rest of you werent even a glimmer in your daddys eye... ;-) Shit, I am so proud of him, and I am soooo grateful to hear this now. Thank you for your strength Joe... you are a guitar god, and...... you EARNED IT.

It's not possible to put into words, what a bad ass Joe Walsh is. For 50 years now, he has been on another planet, talent wise, compared to the rest of the world.

Those soul singers and the tone of that guitar is what makes this great.

Awesome...I love those background vocalists

Well! That was different! Just when you thought Joe couldn't surprise you, he does. One of the most natural and greatest guitar players ever!

Joe Walsh is not only one of the best guitarist's but he's probably one of the best performers. I love watching him on stage. & his backup singers sound great to. A very tight act...

This sends bloody chills down my spine. What a performance!

Joe Walsh is the Man.

Man, he's still got it. He may even be at his best right now. Glad to see one of my icons still groovin' and rockin'. Long live Joe.

This is so cool

Brilliant. The song is from 1970 and sounds like brand new. Kick ass performance, by the way!

That was just too fricking good!!!! The girls rocked it too! Many props to them as well!!

This song and "walk away" are gems.

James Gang were so underrated

It's great to see Walsh clean, sober and enjoying the music, again.

He makes me weak in the knees. Wow what a musician. His humor I get too. Man he can play the guitar!!!

If this don't move you, your mover is broke and needs fixing. Rock on Joe !!!

Rock 'n Roll will save your mortal soul.

Happy Birthday Joe! xoxo

Loved him in James Gang and always!!!!

Guy's a genius. Never takes himself too seriously.

One of the coolest dudes in show business

Oh so TIGHT

Outstanding

I f*cking love Joe's singing

This is one of the great music men of my time. I am glad he is living a little more of a clean life now because I really want him to be around for a long time. This is one of the great. We are blessed to have the great musicians that we have. They influence people of all races to Rock On .

I agree. Joe is a great guitarist!!! Part of what makes Joe so good is how passionate he is when he's playing. I love how he is not afraid to show his feelings in his face and whole body when he's performing. I'm glad Joe has not changed to conform to what the music industry says is cool. Joe's COOL just being himself. He is also a great solo artist who is very humble given his multiple musical talents. Watch his interviews. He is happy playing with the other Eagles, other artist's or on his own

Great song, Great musicians and Joe walsh umbeliveble, tank's for vídeo!!!! São Paulo /brazil

Use to listen to this on 8-track riding along the ocean front in my 1964 Chevy Impala SS Convertible in Narragansett Rhode Island back in 1973. Those were the days! Great song and great times!

Go Joe Go!!!!!!

Awesome!!! Joe Walsh is a super star!!!

Gotta love it....

Love his voice and ease of playing... the best

I read on a Who album once that Pete Townsend really admired Joe for his guitar! High praise from one guitar legend to another and well deserved! Rock on Joe!

Awesome version! What a badass lineup!

Brilliant! Joe is the most underrated guitarist in rock history. The Eagles were an average country band before Joe lit the fuse.

Hardcore.....No one could follow that.....No one.....Walsh is a magician with a guitar.....

WOW just WOW!....

Joe Walsh is an old man in this video, but he is still very entertaining to watch.

Joe Walsh is absolutely awesome! I loved his friendly competition with Don Felder when they were with the Eagles ... priceless!

Happy. Birthday joe Walsh. Thanks for. The. Music. I am a big fan.

Lol Joe’s laugh during the pause at the end... Epic jam too

Great to watch when guys know what they are doing!!!

Those boys and girls be havin' fun!

what a bad ass riff, damn....

Joe Walsh is amazing!

Right on Joe!

His magic just keeps stronger, really is something very special in his playing. True genius!

Just think how many times Joe's played that yet he can still make it sound so damn fresh. What a great performance. Voice sounds superb 👏

So great !

This ranks as one of the best live versions of this I've ever seen/heard. That's coming from a guy who has seen the eagles live four times!! The first two times with Glenn still in the mix. R.I.P. Glenn, you and Henley made a great choice when you got Joe in the band!!!

The man is a guitar god. I love his tone!

great song .. in 50 years it will still be cool. Joe Rocks...

one of the favoruites guitar players

I listened to this song on the original James Gang album a million times when I was 13 years old. And it was about the first riff I ever learned on the electric guitar. I still love the way Joe sings and plays. It was a trip to see him play nylon string behind McCartney on the Grammy awards show earlier this year. A very understated Joe!

great version

Ok, this is awesome. But that chic in the middle is even MORE AWESOME!

Joe shreds!

Get it Joe!

The sound quality is absolutely superb. Good job Guitar Center mixers and masterers!!!!! The opening riff sounds like I'm in the room with him.

Happy Birthday Joe and many more of them! Please keep making great music!!!

great tune! listened to him since the 70's and yes i am old!

Tricks of the trade. Love his sound. Love the songs. Love the way he uses feedback to get those tones.

Groovy baby ✌️🤟🏻

He's the real bad boy of Rock and Roll.

Seen Joe in Chicago many moons ago love his 🎶 music

I still have to rate Joe Walsh as one of the best musicians of all time! He can do it al all !! Rank him with another great artist and that would be Tom Petty! Keep on keeping on Joe Walsh!

Thank you so much dear Tim Tucker to have told me about this!!!!!I appreciate with heart!!!!!With Love, your OSS from Florence!!!!

OK on my like 10th time of listening to this in a row, and whoever mic'd and mixed this did an amazing job

Hey Joe... Thank You! The talent is redlining!

Grew up w/Joe, amazing

Alway the last Note! Loved and Missed.
