From Rides Again... my first JW album...I was 13....my music idol ever since.

Joe bought one of my Django Reinhardt shirts, like, 15 years ago! I was jazzed about that.

Great album

JW inspired me from a young age to play guitar. 40 years later and here I am again. Joe Walsh is a true guitar hero

Joe's one of those guys who, like David Gilmour, demonstrates that there's so much more to playing guitar than "how many notes can you play in succession per second." People who are caught up in that school-kid mentality miss the dynamics, range of expression and appropriateness to the song that players like Joe and David nail every time, and that is essential to real appreciation of guitar. Every now and then they'll shred where appropriate, so you know they can do it if needed, but they only do so when it adds to the song. They don't play to show off. They play for maximum musical enjoyment.

I always liked Joe Walsh-and this is one of my favorite tunes! He used to play locally years go.

Good god, a toke and a few rum and cokes on a random KZread journey leads me to this absolutely incredible performance.

Great. I bought Rides Again with Bolero on The Bomber, like '70. Loved it. Read there was some copy right trouble and later there was an edit. I didn't buy it but dug the edit to Cast Your Fate To The Wind.

I stood two feet away from Joe while he played this and his whole set in Santa Cruz ca. Im a guitar player and Joe saw me watching him and he was literally showing me how to play this. He was like okay first you go here, then there. It was awesome. I’ve seen Him 7 times over the years. Always a great show. 🤘

Measure of the greats is how bad ass they sound doin’ a D to A into a cranked amp. Joe, Angus, Ronnie, Pete…where that rock n roll just comes from your guts.

Never heard of Joe playing this live. Just fantastic. He even kept the excerpt from Ravel’s Bolero in it. “Rides Again” was the first r&r album I had, after the Beatles. Still pretty much the best. Thanks, Joe!

Saw him in concert several times in the early 70s before he joined The Eagles. Have every James Gang album, as well as all of his solo work. I remember bringing my James Gang Rides Again album home from Capers Corners Records in Kansas City right after it was released. When I played this song for the first time, I was blown away. I grew up listening to all the greats: Hendrix, Clapton, Page, Townsend, etc. My first thought? What other guitarist would ever have the vision or the guts to integrate Ravel's Bolero and Cast Your Fate to the Wind into his own rock medley? Boys and girls, this is guitarist artistry at its finest.

Love this song. Joe Walsh is AWESOME ! Great video, Thx for posting.

Amazing!

Jim Fox is a hard act to follow. These two cannot fill his shoes. Joe Walsh is a Living Legend.❤❤❤

What a joy to see this. Thanks for posting, never saw him play this epic song live before. There are only a handful of songs in rock history that rank up there, like this one does. Layla, Stairway, Voodoo Child (slight return), Maggot Brain, Comfortably Numb, Free Bird. Songs that take it to another level altogether.

Joe was one of the people who was good friends with Keith Moon and lived to tell about it. Amazing what this guy has seen. He did a tour with Sly And the Family Stone, Jimi Hendrix and the James Gang. Joe said Clapton, all the top guitarists, at the time noticed Jimi played the guitar upside down! They all thought this is it, nobody could "crack the code" Joe says. Jimi sounded that way and you can't go there. Lookup the Joe Walsh Howard Stern interview he says it.

OH MY GOD!!!

This is excellent, thank you!

Ravel would be in awe hearing this. It’s like Joe read the music right off the page. Bolero has never been performed better. Walsh is phenomenal. I’m so glad I saw him at The Us Festival in ‘83

When you find me late this morning weeping like a newborn kitten because Joe gang is dropping bombs on me from a composer of the 13th century who wrote this after finding his son dead on the battlefield. Joe brings life from death.
