Agreed. The man is just a musical amazement. I got turned on to the James Gang and CSN in 60's thanks to my hippie sisters!! And, no one but Steven ever had Hendrix and Clapton play on the same album !!!
I collect concerts and have quite a few variations of CSNY. On most of them at least one of the other members of the band mentions how incredible Stills is on guitar. The band and people who really appreciated the band knew how good he was. A lot of the best rock guitarists are not in the standard list.
Joe Walsh - IMO one of the worlds greats. Listen to him play - he doesn't go for speed - he plays a note and doesn't go to the next note until he has finished PLAYING that note. That is a true musician.
He’s more or less playing Neil Young’s guitar part from the original song, but you’re right. He and Neil both have a similar style in the regard that they let their guitars resonate between notes and are focused more on the soul of the song than trying to impress with complicated guitar techniques.
Joe wrote it I don’t care how he plays it he owns it. We are so lucky to still have him. God bless every part of this great humble gentleman. I travelled from Ireland to vegas to watch him in the house of blues he was and still is incredible love joe Walsh.
I like Joe you have given me a lifetime of pleasure have always loved the way you play your guitar 🎸 Iam watching this in June 2024 at 01'57 in morning Thanks Joe Iam 81years old Keep on rocking thanks Joe Iam watching this from me England 🏴
We are so lucky these two incredible individuals are still playing. Can’t imagine the world without ether one of them. They both sound incredible. God Bless Joe and Steven.
I absolutely love this was just amazing to watch so very happy I found this. As a disabled USMC veteran who suffers with PTSD. I found myself thinking about all those Friday nights. At the barracks listening to music while drinking beer. God bless each and everyone of you who have served our great nation. And for all those still serving either mentally or physically. Keep your head up and keep moving on. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢
Thank you Joe and may you live very long and happy I remember your music when I was 20 and now I am 67 and it is wonderful to hear your old famous songs!!!
Been listening to these guys since the late 60’s when they first hit the scene; was just out of college and in the service. They made cloudy days brighter.
55 years we are still rocking to Joe Walsh, Funk 49 - Lifes been good to me, So much a Joe Walsh fan, I'm 73 and rocking to his licks, and Steven I remember 1968, love these memories of peace over war, sadly not now, 2024
His voice change is due to his deafness. He has struggled with hearing loss since childhood. Hearing loss sucks, but it really sucks if you’re a songwriter and musician.
At 79 everyone is a shell of what they once were. But few can say they've accomplished what Stills has. Maybe one of the most underrated performers of the golden age of rock. He was always a musician's hero.
@@chucktown57 I'm 61 with Tinnitus in both ears. Still playing live almost every weekend. Thankful to be still breathing everyday. Lloyd Sarno USMC Retired.
I've probably seen Stephen more than 30 times in various bands and as a solo act. One of the most memorable was with Manassas at the Merriweather Post Pavillion in Columbia, MD in 1972. Had center seats, front row, and Joe Walsh was the opening act.
Mr. Walsh can easily captivate an audience while displaying his Mojo on guitar and remains very relevant at 76 years old! This performance of Turn to Stone was especially remarkable and brings back a lot of memories for me. Stephen Stills joining in was icing on the cake! The band and backup singers were incredible. Thank you for honoring our Vet's and I can tell you that your music got us through some difficult times in peacetime and war! You are a national treasure for those of us of a certain age!
Cant believe he stands in front of those big Marshalls. Its amazing he can hear anything after all these years. Great man and performance. Keep rocking Joe.
Dale, I'm sorry to have to break it to you, but all amps-- big or small -- have volume knobs. And many small amps can get loud enough to damage your hearing in a hurry. If Joe has hearing loss, it's because HE CHOSE to turn it up beyond reasonable.
Both Joe and Stephen never performed with female singers but theses guys are pushing 80 yrs. Of age. They just can't hit notes as they did back in the day. The girls were great.
As a number of people have pointed out the years are catching up with both Joe and Stephen. However it is still remarcable that these guys are still takeing the stage in 2023. I can remember buying "James Gang Rides Again" featuring avery young Joe Walsh in thr fall of 1969. Stephen with Buffalo Springfield a year earlier. God bless these two great warhorses.
those dudes could rehearse - I don't care how good you are or how old you are there's no excuse for this garbage - They are professionals - EC or the Rev Billy G ain't sounding like this
@@davidrice3337 Well Dave it seems you were not very happy with the music. I have to agree with you toa certain degree.This show was certainly not their finest hour. However rehearsal time is really not the issue here. These type of benifit shows are put together more or less on the fly. Acts and artists will sometimes drop out at the last minute for any number of reasons. These people are giving their time and talent freely. They are under no contractual obligation to the planers and promoters of the Farm Aid concert. They play because Farm Aid is a very popular cause and almost all of the older acts who have stayed the course and have given us such great music for decades want to be included as long as they are able to do so.There are so many last minute problems and screwups that can happen, the kind of thing no one saw comming or could have in any way predicted. It's under these circumstances that Farm Aid reaches out to a Joe Walsh and maybe a Stephen Stills and say "fellas, can you help us"?And they do, They call bassist Nathan East who cancels a date with some hot piece of ass and says "hell yeah I'll be there", It's about the HEART all these people put in for the FARMERS and their families. It's not about the greatist music you've ever heard from Joe and Stephan on this particular night. You don't know the exact circumstances that brought them there on that particular night.
I marvel at the drive of true musicians. When you watch these guys in interviews, they talk about still chasing the passion. To all your guitar players out there keep getting better I like when Joe says just act like you know what you’re doing and people will believe you.
I learned the Eagles Songbook off by heart when I was seven. (In '77). Wrote down the lyrics in a notebook and kept them forever. Then my brother showed me all the chords. Blessed Greetings Joe, on 06.01.24 and : Long Live Music!
Thank you all our USA veterans. Thank you everyone. Thank you Mr Stephen Stills. My all time fav. Thank you Mr Joe Walsh and your synergy, frequency with Stephen Stills. I am so very blessed to have grown up with this music. So much gratitude. ❤
My very highest respects to these two music icons for over 100 years of great rock and roll!! And to Uncle Larry Tom Bukovac, a 40 year session man and studio legend who glued this all together w/Nathan East on bass and Joe Vitale on drums. And of course to all our vets, who keep us the land of the free and home of the brave!! Soli Deo Gloria !! Peace --gary
Joey Vitale from Cleveland Ohio an awesome drummer. I used to stand out on the sidewalk and listen to him practice in his parents house when in his teens and has played with many great rock stars. An excellent drummer.
@@stevenstanley2369 10-4 that!! I'm 72, I miss playing street corners and dumpy old bar rooms, where a glass of beer was 5 cents! A lot of great players came from those situations!! Peace --gary
Thank you, Mr. Walsh for your honor to veterans. God knows the people in power who control the budget try to short-change us at every turn. In the richest country in the world we should not need things like a VetsAid concert and Joe could be playing to help others.
Everytime I watch Joe play I learn something new ! I been playing guitar over 30 years and the things he can do with that Les Paul the same one Slash uses is utterly amazing 👊 ty to any Vets that are reading this for serving !! You are loved and appreciated more than you know !
Two rock legends getting together for a great cause. Age is just a number, and they proved it. Nathan East on bass, always fantastic. The rest of the band made it all sound like they had been playing together for years. Top shelf.
I also as a student at Kent State and was a good friend of Foxy (J.Gang drummer) and would always be at their practice sessions and local bar gigs (Kent, Stowe, Akron). Their 1st album was at Kent Water Station in background, Funk 49 3 of them on motorcycles they borrowed from a bike gang during a drunken spree up to the "House on the Hill" in Kent. Am lucky I made it through my sophomore year, Joe didn't, left to become a star as James Gang. Luv u Joe & the memories. Another local great and friend was Patti Smith.
Hes played for just about everyone, he was also with Toto, Michael Jackson, phill collins, kenny loggins, herbie hancock, and many more! Hes on over 2000 recordings, great session player.
@@EstebonSosa I believe he even played with Andrea Bocelli on his live from Tuscany project years ago. I've seen him numerous times with Four Play. Wonderful musician.
Little bit of Billy Preston trivia - he used to say "If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with." Stephen Stills asked him if he could use that - wanted to write a song around it. And that's history. Thanks for this recording. Love both of these guys.
@@JackycClark Jersey Boy? Joe was born in Kansas and got into the music business in Ohio. Stills was born in Texas and started his career in Florida. Jersey?
Joe Walsh and Stephen Stills the 70’s rocked, Joe still has his classic voice, 😮Joe handles that guitar like a baby🎶 Stephen Stills can still play that guitar love the songs he did, great music and era❤ ALL NIGHT LONG🎊
Marshall's and Les Paul's are still doing it. Amazing! 🎉 Guild, Ibanez, Fender Strat too! Joe Walsh is timeless. 🕉 He is an analog man however! James Gang The Eagles Ringo Starr Allstars Joe Walsh
So Walsh isn't dead after all, despite all the YT videos! Excellent camera work here diverting attention from the cadaverous performance of the 2 "stars" to the stunning backup singer. More of her, less of them, please... you guys had a pretty good run, but when it's over, it's over. You've reached that point where you've become caricatures of yourselves. time to put out to pasture - don't fear the reaper, and all that ...
I still remember when Joe used to jam with my buddy's older brother close to Kent Ohio back in the early 70s. Saw one of the earlier James Gang concerts and many after that.
ATTA BOY, JOE!! You are the reason I still rock.out to all your songs! I listen to all your hits at 64 and it still hits over the top and way out in the yard! THERE GOES THE NIEGHBORHOOD! Can I have your tank!!?? SALUTE!
He’s one hell of a fighter …. The solo riff at the end of song one is great , and as always he is in time . Like Keith Richards says “ it’s not how you play, it’s what you play “ ……
No shit! And Joe's mic could have been mixed-in hotter. But he's super nice to do the gig for vets. SUCH a great guy (I've met the Eagles 3 times and have known his/their manager Irving Azoff since 1977...was an FM radio personality for 40 years).
Fight? That’s a voice that’s lived life, but those bloody fingers are still stuck in the 70s. There must be some Mississippi crossroads where Joseph made a pact cos as guitarist he still got it. Big respect to you Joe. Any chance of you coming over here to england I will put you up 😂😂😂
Having best fun escaping with the latest videos, all time greatest of the music our gen bestowed upon the world, your thank, just tellin my son seeing recent Stones stuff saying they still sound great as ever, and these guys undoubtedly standing shoulder to shoulder along them. ❤ forever one of my first loves since hearing them around '72-73🤩
I'm a long time fan of both of these guys and I thought it was going to suck but I enjoyed this show. They were both better than I expected. Back up band did a great job.
