51 years ago. still sounds awesome. joe is such a great songwriter.

The Eagles needed Joe a lot more than Joe needed them that is for sure.

Love Joe Vitale. He gives such a distinctive drum sound to Joe Walsh's music.

Man it doesn't get more 70's than pillows in the bass drums, that was me in every band I was in. ✌

[georgejetson]

The super superior 70's, never to be replicated or reproduced.

This was an era filled with such immense & incredible talent that Joe Walsh was viewed as a “B” level guy by the listening public. We players knew better, though. We knew he was special.

And this era of his life, just peak creativity. To me Walsh was pure genius, he was a visionary, and I’m glad to be able to say (as an old guy now) I was blessed to have seen it first hand and appreciate it…

This is Joe Walsh/Barnstorm line-up playing "Tend My Garden" from the second "James Gang" album Rides Again. I was fortunate to see this line-up with the Barnstorm line-up it was a great concert, It must have been the same time period as this video (same tour?) because I remember the Nieuport 17 airplane hanging above the stage. I've been a fan of Joe and his music since '69.
Wow 54 years...time flies don't it.

Joes a people person that meets no strangers, and a💫🎸⭐️😎 great musician

Joe Walsh is revered, and rightly so! In a period when guitarists didn't all sound the same...he is so distinctive and original! Had the privilege to see him a couple of times in the 80s....He leaves every bit on the stage! I can wish for it, but there may never be another one like him!

Joe's giving it all on the drums. The Barnstorm lineup was best.

Forever grateful to the entertainment committee who brought James Gang to Ohio's Defiance College in April 1971, my sophomore year. The only time Joe put down his guitar was to sing and play this song on the Hammond B3 organ. We were also some of the first fans in the country to see him perform "Walk Away" from the just-released album, "Thirds."

How have I never seen this until today?! Man---I've always loved this song and Barnstorm does a fantastic version of it! Joe Walsh--THE MAN!!

[SteveKraus]

Joe Walsh displaying how multi talented he is. As a solo artist and with the Eagles

[margowsky]

I requested this and I can't believe you guys posted!! Thank you so much. This is an amazing version of this old James Gang song.

Looks and sounds like it was recorded last night. Love this channel.

[ChrisKrolak]

Great performance by Joe and the band -- especially by Joe Vitale on drums. I loved these live performances on The Midnight Special back in the day. I was just a high school kid loving the music of the 1970s.

[scottamori]

Great song and I was unfamiliar with it. Thanks for another gem, Midnight Special.

I discovered Joe Walsh in 1973 when I was 16 years old

[stlrockn]

I saw this lineup of Barnstorm in 1972 and 1973 in Nashville. Musically they rank among the best concerts I have ever seen. Those two Barnstorm albums (for me) eclipse anything he ever did with The Eagles.
