Happy 63d Birthday Joe Walsh

One of the true greats of rock 'n roll, Walsh can make his guitar sing, with a style immediately recognizable as his own. He is probably best known (for better or worse) for playing and singing with the Eagles, but he did so much wonderful work early on with the James Gang, and later on his own.

Here are a couple songs from the James Gang Live (at Carnegie Hall), which is my all-time favorite live recording (even above The Who's Live at Leeds). Note that Joe is playing the Hammond B3 organ.



And just to make sure we don't forget that he is a guitar hero, here's Joe playing with Booker T and the MGs at Eric Clapton's Crossroads concert a couple of years ago:
