    His There goes the neighborhood album was good.   My favorite song
    by him though is "Life's been good to me so far".  But, unfortunately
    you don't hear it much anymore.  Great driving tune!!!

    I saw Joe Walsh at the Centrum a couple of years ago, with Foreiner.
    He put on a pretty good show back then, but I've seen/heard of
    some pretty druken performances where he could barely play.

etc. etc.

I think Joe is great! One of my favorite rock slide guitarist (alongside Rod 
Price of Foghat), and also great with the wah-wah. He's had a long history in 
rock and roll. IMO, the highlight of his work was the orchestrated solo at the 
end of "Hotel California" with Don Felder - that's just amazing guitar 
playing/writing! 

I also saw him at the Centrum backing up Foreigner, but was disappointed with 
the show - it sounded awful! But I saw him back with the Eagles, and he was 
the highlight of the show! ("Joe Walsh for President!")

    Yeah! Good topic Shawn!!
    
    When Joe plays, everyone plays...
    
    I saw him on Letterman and he said that he named the album "Got any
    Gum?" because he saw a panhandler on the sidewalk and started to give
    him some money when the guy said, 'got any gum?' It may not be true,
    but it's pretty funny nonetheless.

    Does Joe sing any of the Eagles' songs?
    
60.17Somewhere out on that horisonSHRFAC::BOUDREAUThu Mar 08 1990 06:368
    	Sure he does.
    	
    	He was the best artist in that band.
    
    	For one, he sang "In The City" which sounds more like his solo
    stuff. You may remember that one from the movie THE WARRIORS.

    "In the City" was a solo project for Joe, it was re-done with the
    Eagles for the Long Run LP. Joe joined the Eagles during the recording
    of "Hotel California" .But to call him the best artist in the Eagles
    is a bit over stated IMO.

60.19Walsh was given a token tune on each albumNAVIER::STARRNightmare in the land of dreams...Thu Mar 08 1990 13:2513
I think Joe sings one song on each of the albums he did with the Eagles. On 
'Hotel California' he sings "Pretty Maids", I think. On 'The Long Run' he sigs 
"In The City". Of course, on the live album he sings several of his solo hits, 
including "Life Been Good To Me" and "All Night Long".

By the time Joe joined the band, it was basically run by Don Henley and Glenn 
Frey. The other guys were more like side-men. 

While I like Joe a lot, I gotta admit that I think that Henley is the creative 
genius behind the band. An incredible lyricist......check out "Wasted Time" on 
'Hotel California'!

60.20Am I dreaming again?LANDO::QUEBECThis dream feels good insideThu Mar 08 1990 13:285
    
    I either read or heard that the Eagles were going to tour this summer.
    Has anyone heard/read the same thing??

60.21TCC::COOPERMIDI-Kitty-ADA-Metaltronix rack pukeThu Mar 08 1990 13:3410
Yes, I heard that.  The Eagles are planning a reunion tour of some sort.

And I'll tell you...If you get a chance, CHECK THEM OUT !

They put on an EXCELLENT show.  Only concert I've seen that compares is
Queensryche, but that goes without saying.  I saw The Eagles, Heart and 
the Little River Band at the Yale Bowl in Conneticutt.  It was killer.
They don't miss a note !

60.22On your word...LANDO::QUEBECThis dream feels good insideThu Mar 08 1990 13:407
    
    If it happens I'll go.  As long as it doesn't conflict with being
    a beach bum! 8^)

    re .21
    
    I saw the one other show of that 'tour' (two show tour???) at
    the Meadowlands in Jersey.  I expected Heart to be good (had seen
    them before that) and was pretty surprised by the Eagles.....but
    I was shocked at how good LRB was live!  Wow, that was 10 years
    ago this June!

60.24no tour but a CD of un-released stuff is ok with meMSHRMS::FIELDSI've fallen, and I can't get up !Thu Mar 08 1990 15:3110
    	From what I been hearing it looks like the tour idea has fizzled
    out but Henly and Frey have got together and have been going thru
    out-take cuts from the last 3 or so LPs to make up one more Eagles
    LP/CD. this could be great !
    
    	I saw at least 10 Eagles concerts, Foxboro, that Conn. show,
    Providence a few time, springfield (I think it was Springfield)
    a few times......and once in NY too, they do put on one hell of a show

    	Glenn Frey and Jimmy Buffet are writing some kind of broadway play
    down in the Keys...Henley said that he and Frey are still talking about
    touring though!  They have a couple of songs for a Eagles G/H album
    coming out in the future.

    "I'm a classic rocker, so I belong here," Joe Walsh says of his duties
    as a Friday-night host for New York's classic-rock station K-ROCK.  And
    what of all the Eagles-reunion talk?  "I'm going to keep my fingers
    crossed," says Walsh.  "I think at this poing Don [Henley] and Glenn
    [Frey] have resolved any differences between them.  Don has pretty much
    done his solo career, and I think now we all kind of miss the old days. 
    But if we do it, we have to do it right.  And I don't even know if
    Henley can play drums anymore."

           From Joe's days with The James Gang. Excellent guitar sound.
    
    Joe once said "The Eagles are still together, it's just that everyone 
    but me quit".
    
    You figure it out.

60.28SONG'S FOR A DYING PLANETCOMET::JENSENTFri Nov 06 1992 14:367
       The new album by Joe Walsh is called Songs For A Dying Planet.
    I think it's really good, some of the songs remind me of the stuff
    he used to do with the Eagles. Then there are the usual goofy tunes
    like VOTE FOR ME. Check it out, it's cool.
