In The City - Joe Walsh - w/lyrics

"In the City" is a rock song written by Barry De Vorzon and Joe Walsh. It was first recorded by Walsh and released on the soundtrack for the 1979 film The Warriors. Another version of the song, recorded by Walsh's band the Eagles, was included on their album The Long Run, released the same year.

The track was first recorded by guitarist Joe Walsh for the soundtrack to the 1979 movie The Warriors; the Eagles liked what they heard and decided to record it for their album The Long Run.

A video was made for the track. It features a staged recording session of the song, with Joe Walsh playing a Gibson double neck guitar using the 12-string neck for the rhythm parts and the 6-string neck for the slide guitar parts; Timothy B. Schmit played a Fender bass; Don Felder used a Fender Stratocaster; Don Henley used an 8-piece Ludwig drum kit with Paiste cymbals; Glenn Frey on piano; and Joe Vitale on congas.

Although not released as a single, the track became an album-oriented rock radio favorite in the U.S. and a Walsh concert staple. It is also featured on the Eagles' 1994 Hell Freezes Over album and video; in this version, the song ends with a slower version of the guitar hook from the Beatles' 1966 hit "Day Tripper".

"In The City" is the first Keith Sousa video that I can recall recognizing AS a "Hollywood" production. In the City is an incredible song, and coupled to this beautiful artwork, it becomes a fascinating audio/video experience. So, WOW ! . . . Thank You. -tim s. from Mt Orab

Say Keith that was a really cool video, it was like going to a big futuristic city. For a journey of a ride through it, I enjoyed the coloring to this video as well, very eye catching material for me. Ive Always been a big fan of Joe Walsh music (Eagles too of course) songs Lives Been Good To Me So Far, Everyday Average Ordinary Guy, thats just a couple of many. The car in the video was cool too, looked like it was a futuristic electric Delorian, or perhaps a. fun to watch electric Pantera, . I really liked how you made the old neon lights and combined it with a city of the future, Excellent Job Keith gets a thumbs up fer shure!
