The James Gang-You´re Gonna Need Me

[MPalmerM]

So Xcellent, will music come back to this era again?

[55chevy73]

To the dip that wrote this song was Led Zep influenced, you are influenced. Joe Walsh puts Page to shame and this song sounds nothing like LZ because noone sounds like they are having an orgasm in the backgroun and Joe isn't screaming over the guitar work. Other than that you are right it is just like "Led Zep" you twit.

[petrus805]

one of the best live albums and most underrated bands in the world.



[jamesmaddock]

Hell Yeah ! thats guitar playing !!!! Makes Jimmy Page sound like a noodling amateur !!!!

[masterpadman1951]

Lot off Led Zep influence with this song,still an excellent band though!

[1EwaBoy2]

Joe Walsh is definitely one of the most under rated guitarist, but he didn't do himself any favors by joining up with the Eagles-too commercial.

[noclouds111]

Forgot to mention, this is one of my favorites!

[elieattie]

imagine walking down pub street and hearing some blues blasting out of some hideaway pub, you go in and they start playing that song

that would make my night 

[osing4me]

love

[bliss4jules]

Side one of "James Gang Live In Concert," for all of us who remember what that means, was and REMAINS, one of my favorite sides. An incredible 20 minutes of talent on display. Live. Total control.

[bliss4jules]

Joe was still several months away from his 24th birthday when this was recorded at Carnegie Hall.

[KomissarX]

Ahhh The James Gang, Wish I could be 18 again driving my Mustang Mach 2... Joe Walsh is a Guitar God.. In my opinion Joe has the deep Blues feeling in each note on that Les Paul. Clapton, Beck just dont have the same feel. Albeit, they are also great for what they do. But for Blues, Joe has it.. Its deep... In this song, he really shows how to make a Les Paul sing and Cry.. WOW....

[joewalshman96]

Jim Fox....the most underrated drummer of al times.....

[seanmahon101]

you hear more about Beck and Clapton than Joe.

he really just blows them away.

[longfootbuddy]

@seanmahon101 i never was all that impressed with clapton, and couldnt even name a jeff beck song

[seanmahon101]

@longfootbuddy Well if Clapton is the most over rated,which I believe him to be. Then Beck is the most underated.

Also Randy Rhodes Never gets the credit he deserves from the mainstream music world. take it easy longfoot.

[longfootbuddy]

@seanmahon101 aw, who cares about mainstream anything.. makes no difference what majorities think...well it shouldnt, anyway

[seanmahon101]

Don who?Glenn who?Glenn u have my forgiveness for that smugglers blues abortion.

Joe Walsh puts em all to shame,relevent today as he was then.

[JWicksful]

I was so worried I wouldn't find this song...here it is!  Thanks

[tracypritchett]

the eagles were a waste of Joes skills

[noclouds111]

@tracypritchett Good, I'm not the only one who thinks so. If you're gonna join another band, you'd think that one would want to trade UP.

[wheater59]

The absolute best three man band to come out of the US EVER! He is the most underated guitarest of all time. I saw them when I was 10, then I saw him play with Ringo in Hiroshima Japan, then I took my wife to see The Gang in 2006. It was the best time of my life. And she agrees. I don't care what anyone thinks, he's the best, and that is a period!!!

[jerrybluz]

i'll never forget 1st day 7th grade got tape of j.g from bro n law jammed funk 49 on bus the bus driver was only one who had a clue what it was jammed on bus that whole year JOE IS THE MAN

[mykeeb33]

One of my top five albums of all time.

[ottowes]

So amazing that Joe can play heavy metal or blues or a melodic ballad and ALWAYS sound like he invented the guitar!

[baracatjr]

Now that's what I'd call playing a guitar!

[catdog420]

What a powerful performance man , thanks for the post!

[musicaldun1]

This album is proof positive that they belong at the front of any discussion about the great power trios of all time. yousaiditzero called Joe underrated...scottalias said, "By who?" I say, I rarely hear his name mentioned in discussions about the greatest guitarists...but it should be, and this album proves it!

[bassandguitarguy]

Yeah, Joe absolutely smokes on this! Anyone who hasn't heard his James Gang days is missing out~! Happy 63rd to Joe today, 11-20-10 Sat!!!

[scottalias]

underrated by who? no one that mattered

[3bar]

A friend recently asked me what my favorite all time album was. After some thought, I said it was this one. It's got it all.

[terryfoulke]

Joe Walsh is and will always be the bomb. I have been in love with this man since the early 70's. He is an amazing guitarist and songwriter and I happen to love his voice--I could listen to him all day. Today and tomorrow and the next day. I love you, Joe!!!

[MDS1958]

Carnegie Hall 1971! AWESOME.

[slimhotknave]

Great song and album.....cheers

[Phryg]

Only Joe can make that guitar talk like that; does anyone know if there is any live footage from this concert or of this song from this period?

[sunberst1]

Joe Walsh = Guitar Hero! The greatest power trio of the time. England had Cream we had The James Gang!

[latawie]

Smokin song...James Gang absolutely at their very best!!!

[morats8up]

Man this brings back memories,Awesome!

[jimspruell]

Yep. This song made me a total Joe Walsh fan. Unreal.

[Hoedje100]

The best record of them. Live in Concert. Joe Walsh was allready great

[MDS1958]

@Hoedje100 - Agreed. If you get one James Gang album, this is the best.

[alexandriabay1]

As someone said earlier, How Ya Doin,Joe is so cool even today-this music is great. I grew up in the early 70.'s with these great bands. Miss this kind of rock, and don't care for much of todays bands.

[4Peace4All]

back in time without leaving my chair......those were MOST incredible days of mine or anyone else's life! to be 17 again and hearing all the greats of the 60s/early 70s would be a gift from the Universe

[anongogone]

I used to get into "water fights" with Joe and the drummer of the James Gang the Mentor Hullabaloo in Mentor Ohio back when i was a longhaired high school kid and the JG were just an unknown local band. The "stage" was just a couple plywood sheets raised about 6 inches off the floor. I used to stand right in front of Joe and watch him play. I remember when I first saw him play through an Echoplex (early tape delay loop machine using real mag tape ... like reel to reel stuff) BLEW MY MIND

[yousaiditzero]

if that's true ....you're my hero....lol

[linkslingo]

to be there live watching this, my god. fasten your seatbelts, this baby takes off around 2:40. have a nice trip.

[jfrey1]

this is brain-melting stuff.

[Petra9119]

One of the absolutely best and UNKNOWN live albums of all times!!! Digg it, digg it, bäbi

[murage2]

shedding tears !

awesome!!!!!!!

found CD and got it !

[klcc66]

My fav live song by the Gang

[bassandguitarguy]

Yeah! The James Gang LP's with Joe are great! Love this tune and Joe's soloing! I also love the next 4 versions of the James Gang, 2 LP's with Tommy Bolin, 2 with Domenic Troiano (They're both dead, Joe's still alive, go figure) and the next 2 LP's, Newborn and Jesse comes home. The constant being Jim Fox's superb drumming and Dale Peters cool bass playing.

ps - Happy 62nd to Joe (11-20-09)

[R0bbiam]

oh h*ll yea. How ya doin?

[wheater59]

While serving in the Marine Corps back in 1989, I met Joe backstage at Ringo Starr's first All Star tour in Hiroshima Japan. The nicest guy you would like to meet. He has never recieved the respect he deserves as a musician/writer. He gets into so many different styles, all good. He is a Rock God! How ya doin?

[emadmadi]

i like to hear walsh,while he is in trouples!!!

[MultiJerkoff]

TONE TONE TONE!!!!!!

Listen to that burst screaml !!!!

[fender50005000514]

I heard this cumming from my brothers bedroom in the 70s. Then seen him play it live at Ferris St. U. Sounds even better today. Got any gum!

[RedRadRoot]

You heard it "cumming"...from your brother's bedroom?! Sorry...that's WAY too much information....

[bconman]

Wow Im glad that I am not the only one that thinks that this is the best, most tastful, soulful, sweet ass guitar playing on the planet. My favorite guitar player of all time. 71 may have been the Gang at their peak. Love ya Joe. Or as Joe would say...How ya doin?

[arthurdent85]

I saw James Gang in 1971 for our senior trip to Oklahoma City. I've purchased everything Joe Walsh has issued since. I saw him again in 1976, 1990 and with the Eagles in 2002. This is a superb example of why Joe is still at the top of the mountain......

[revkev]

That's about as good as it gets. The best they did as far as I'm concerned.

[ogrebattle22763]

Very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

[hippydippy]

Yep... Too Cool.

[yousaiditzero]

talk about hendrix....talk about jimi page ......Mr. Joe fucking Walsh ladies and gentlemen.......wow.....

[Joemusic1390]

joe walsh ...at his very best. great blues tune and Joes BEST GUITAR WORK EVER>...

[dcv283]

What a sexy song!!!

[bammramm]

I totaly agree/ what a power. This brings back good memories/ this was one of the records I "stole" from my fathers collection.

Thanks man. Cheers

[wjv4me]

Adore this song-thanks for this awesome Joe Walsh song!

[glennshere3]

i wanted to say, is there a live video clip of this show?

[bassandguitarguy]

One of Joe's best solo's - I played this today as it's drummer Jim Fox's 61st Birthday today 8-24-08! I burned it to CD from my LP.

FYI - Joe played on this and the 1st 3 studio LP's. Then went solo, so bassist Dale peters and Fox continued on for 6 more LP's with other guitarists.

[glennshere3]

i wish there was a live clip of this song, is there?

[wegreenall]

this is live...

[RUDYCUTY]

Oh yeah Joe I need ya, I'm 40 and you are in the age gallery I like, call me baby anytime. You are so cool, no one can be as cool as you baby! Well ok Eric Clapton and John Lennon and a few others but I want you!

[walshfan2470]

classic example of guitar and vocal makin'

love to each other...

[Vickman714]

Oh how sweet it is!SOUL,BROTHER,SOUL!!!

[castodiego]

my favorite guitar solo of all time, thanks for putting this song up.

[basspond51]

Yousaiditzero....Joe is one of the top ax men of all time....hands down. Still rockin today!

[glennshere3]

[phagola]

vice president

[kustomride]

Wow. First time I've heard this. And I love James Gang from back in the day.

[CREDITS4CARBON]

Didn't they call him Jumping Joe Walsh or is that someome else? Is it the same dude who sang at Woodstock?

[yousaiditzero]

Joe Walsh....the most underrated guitarist of all times.....

[ogrebattle22763]

@yousaiditzero Actually he is very well respected in the industry so he is not underated anymore! Joe Walsh is awesome!

[hexlein3]
