Those who purchased a few LP's 35-45 years ago were buying a piece of a Musical Renaissance. As profound as the Great Art of the 16th Century and the Great Classical Music of the 18th Century. Hundreds of years from now this music will be viewed exactly that same way. We complain how the music of the present weakly imitates and has no substance. A fool's folly! The best Artists of the 20th Century Music Renaissance can not be duplicated any more easily than Mozart or the Sistine Chapel.
Great tune. Used to get some FM & college airplay. We covered it. Saw Joe & Barnstorm play it at W.S.U. Fkn amazing.
What??? another Joe for Pres supporter? Joe Walsh for President (not to be confused with the other latecomer, repugnant republican Rep. Joe Walsh the 1 percenter). Now we've got to figure out what to put on the write-in campaign. And I predict a Joe Walsh vs. Joe Walsh campaign in 2016.
I found it!!!!!!!! In my basement in '73 or 4, I turned on my new combo radio/cassette recorder. A new song was playing and I listened, enthralled, until it was over, waiting for the DJ to ID it. The DJ didn't, and I've been looking for the song for 38 years. Here it is!!!! Thank you!!!!! It just means I love Joe Walsh even more. Again, thank you!!!!!
I always enjoyed this song and requested it at the local radio station. What a joke they are. Sure glad someone came up with youtube!!!! Thanks, Champloo.
@JonBenet6 Pretty sad isn't it? Our so-called top "classic rock" station has been churning out the same stale 3 hits from every band for decades. Take power away from the DJ's and it's musical oblivion. While it's nice to find buried treasures on youtube, it's a shame we can't turn on an FM station and be suprised anymore. The mainstream severely blows!
Just a simple coincidence with "Woman from Tokyo"? Well, "Woman from Tokyo" was recorded in July 1972, in Rome, during sessions for Who do You Think We Are, album of Deep Purple.
I bought this album when was painting a house back in the 70's, one of the three I ever painted. I was painting it for my uncle who threw nickels around like manhole covers, lol. I was given money to buy paint, and some brushes at Sears. I also got this album and the album "Living in the Material World" by George Harrison. Get times, great music to go with it. Another funny part of the story, I cut the grass for him & as a bonus, I cut some weeds behind his fence. Those weeds were weed!!
A someone from Kent State University many years ago, I can tell you that Joe IS the man! No ego. No BS. Just a party happy, awesome guitarist! Problems come and go for all of us, and that's just life. May he keep playing James Gang tunes and his own solo material, but I have to admit; the Eagles were a joke sans a few "pop" hits!
This was the very first song played at the very first concert I went to, back in '74. It was one of the best experiences of my life. It was a performance with such quality. The bar was set very high for any future concerts I would go to and I have to say, most didn't come even close. I still remember it like it was (I won't say yesterday) a couple of months ago. Music doesn't get much better than this, in my humble opinion.
Good video... I as well as the others recognized the My Woman for Toykyo riff in the beginning and throughout. I like how you showed the different album covers as well... and pix! Great job! You caught a little bit of the essence of Joe Walsh. :)
@Brwneydgrl69 there are millions of songs out there that share the same riffs.. to say that you 'recognized' the riff of this song being the same as Woman from Tokyo ..is irrelevant its no big secret that it sounds similar ..also im guessing your stiil in high school ? ...cause you spelled the song ...My Woman for Toykyo
@benjam61 I do recall that "My Woman From Tokyo" uses this riff as the primary musical hook, where I'd argue that "Meadows" isn't really driven by it after the intro.
This song was my introduction to Joe. I heard it on KZEW (?) in Dallas in 1974 when they played 3 tracks at a time. It nicely blended into Misty Mountain Hop by Led Zep. In those days back in the UK you were lucky to get a whole song played on the radio let alone 3 at once!
@12steve1 It could have been KZEW, they started in 1973, I started listening to them in 1979, I lived in Abilene at the time and we could barely get them if the atmospheric conditions were just right, then if we went to a concert in Dallas or Ft. Worth it was the ZOO all the way to the concert, JOHN WELLS was my favorite dj he was on in the afternoon. Then one day there was just music then they played The Beatles NO. 9 over and over until silence........it was sad
@crazyunclerex59 I worked for GSI, part of Texas Instruments. The culture was a revelation for a Brit: always listened to KZEW; TI car park security guards had guns; the cop who pulled me for speeding (blanket 55mph limit) had a shotgun in the car (let me off when he saw I was a Brit); seeing Too Tall Jones in H P Cassidy's on Greenville; Mama Blues; SouthwestAirlines stews who were cocktail waitresses "chugalug and buckle up 'cos we’re comin’ into land" Great place, great people, great times
its joe walsh and his backing band[the eagles] that pompus ass drummer fuckin henley cant hold joes bong later going to the confessor vid and smokin some indigo
Back in the day, I worshiped the James Gang and Joe when he went solo. I was never so disappointed as when he signed on with those sissies in the Eagles.
I remember turning up the begining of song really loud and my mom , sister and girl friend(present wife) freaked out because they thought I was getting electricuted or something. I t was really funny because they were all trying to get down the steps to basement at the same time . It looked like The Three Stooges. l t was funny.
Love this song. I had thought it was a James Gang song , so it took me a while to find it . Thanks for posting. I agree with the first comment. I think Joe's way too cool for the Eagles , too .
35 years later and ill bet if the eagles go on tour they will sell out houses all across the country and tickets will not be cheap .. he is def the eagles tone
@timnwa Thanks for the tip.That was a damn good show.You know Isaw him in 1976 for fifteen bucks.Shows were much better then.You hit the nail on the head about guys like Jay Andy and Dave.They have their mark on many albums without alot of credit sometimes.
@skelekis1 True check out this vid with willy weeks,andy newmark, jay ferguson, dave mason,( you metal kids havent heard of any these talented names).. look them all up,1 by 1 . they have all played with many people
“I’m really proud to be involved with the introduction of the new Les Paul Standard,” says Joe Walsh, who not only developed his own distinctive voice on the instrument, but also sold Jimmy Page the 1959 Les Paul that became Page’s #1 guitar. “Jimmy was having trouble finding a good Les Paul back then. I had two, so I sold him one of mine. He used that Les Paul on the bulk of his work with Led Zeppelin
ha, walsh understood the earth is a macrocosm of us as much as we are a microcosm of it; both mortal albeit on relatively different timescales...so drink up, feel good. (this dime-store philosophy has been brought to you by the fine folks at FuckOffAndDie Industries)
@timnwa i like this, but just fyi metal requires much more talent and knowledge then playing or writing this kind of music... So go shove your ridiculously ignorant,and unintellectual comments up your arse!
@left4shred talent and knowledge ? i never said this was the end all of all music abilty you arse, go ask any guitar giant within the last 40 years of playing what inpires them and not 1 will you hear ANY metal players cause the shit is to simple to play so you shove your simple shit up your arse
life requires as much talent and knowledge as it takes to know the difference between the word "then" and "than". i just feel the need to say....."easy fella!" dont forget to check your spelling if your going to be all mr metal. it's about soul music! it's not about twisted sister and the anger you have for your 3rd grade teacher. it's about real people saying real things because they've been blessed with the ability to do so you are all arses for even trying to make music an argument.

@nape1979 Oh well thanks for double posting, that's a dull mistake I never made. As well just so you know for future reference Canadians spell it "then" and Americans spell it "Than" but your American you wouldn't know the difference. And generalizing metal as being like that doesn't help much either Mr. Love&Peace Dude. I never said this guy didn't have any soul i'm saying that playing metal utilizes soloing fast with lots of melody and flavor more then this guy for sure.Joe can only chord.
@left4shred in that context us Americans we would spell that you're.as in you are. Not sure about what they teach you Canadians. Sorry couldn't resist. just joking with you.
@9501dannyboy I was trying to bring you and bongo-boy together!!! I was trying to give you guys a common enemy so you could kiss and make up... didn't work I guess. But, I bet if you guys were to meet, you guys would become friends. I'm just messin around here!!!!
@9501dannyboy Oh my! I think I hit a nerve. You are still my favourite dumb ass though. Now if you want some attention, go get a lapdance from your priest.
Here's what happens at the beginning. Joe is driving along singing a tune and smokin' a fat one when a hornet flies into the car and startles him so he drops the burning jay into his lap.
mighty impressive discography - Idon't konw Walsh's whole collection, but I heard one album through entirely while drving at night in Chicago, and was transported -
Havent herd this in ages! Thanks for the great post!,Brings back old school dazes,lol.What a time I had in high school,Just too bad I didnt know what I did now back then,Yep,Im thinking I still wouldnt of changed a thing!.Peace to all who come in here to hear this great song.
ya know Rolling Stone ran down their list of 100 best guitar players on the planet a couple of years ago, Joe was nowhere to be seen, who made up that fucking list anyway?, Jimi was first as well he should be, but Joe!??!!? didn't EVEN get an honorable mention WTF? MAN! he is one of the MOST soulful artists to ever grace the stage, I know I've been to several of his shows...the dude is simply mesmerizing.........
Classic song, from my high school days......If Joe Walsh leans torwaed libertarian/conservative I will vote for him...Screw the democrats who want to "spread the wealth" (has anyone noticed they are all wealthy a-holes) and the war mongering republicans who OBVIOUSLY represent money. IT IS TIME FOR A THIRD PARTY!
Never saw Joe as an "Eagle", I was pissed when he joined them, not because he wouldn't add to their sound; but because Joe is a stand out artist, he already had a very successful solo career, he didn't need those boys musically. Even in the band he stands alone. I wonder what became of Don Felder?
...OMFG,....one of THE GREATEST SONGS in rock history !...I love dis shit...BTW...he actually ran for prez in 1980....said he would rename washington, walshington LOL
My Older brother said when Joe Wash came out he was so far ahead of all the rockers, we were blown away! play that again son! we would play it and crank it to 11. it was total awsome, every DJ was playing his music and they were getting requests all day and night. that was a quote from the late Bill Lamb who was a DJ in Flint Michigan.
Joes' mom played piano on an album with him. That's where he probably learned a lot. He' still stands the test of time. always great, even when he's improvising on live performances.
Back in 1971, when Joe's career was just beginning with the James Gang, I read a review of then-current guitar players. The reviewer stated that, even then, Joe Walsh did not comprehend how good of a guitar player he was. He has always been very special to me.
Hey Doc, Got any of that Gold Bud left? Just kidding, of course. Like full court basketball and a few other youthfull activities, doing the bud thing must remain locked in my memory bank. Damn that random testing. UGH!
The intro and outro riff is Deep Purple, "My Woman from Tokyo," but Joe makes a whole different song out of it. Joe is a very accomplished keyboard player and used a Hammond B-3 organ and piano from the James Gang's first album to all of this subsequent records. He wanted a deeply layered sound with the keyboards equal to the guitars. He is always thinking like a producer, who wants to hear all the instruments and give each one their solo space in the arrangement.
It gives me the bittersweet memory of going back to College in the Fall Semester of 1973....

Here's what happens at the beginning. Joe is driving along singing a tune and smokin' a fat one when a hornet flies into the car and startles him so he drops the burning jay into his lap.

Few guitar plyers are on his level. IMHO he's up there with Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana, and Tommy Bolin, who left us way, way too early.

Classic song, from my high school days......If Joe Walsh leans torwaed libertarian/conservative I will vote for him...Screw the democrats who want to "spread the wealth" (has anyone noticed they are all wealthy a-holes) and the war mongering republicans who OBVIOUSLY represent money. IT IS TIME FOR A THIRD PARTY!

Wraps
Never saw Joe as an "Eagle", I was pissed when he joined them, not because he wouldn't add to their sound; but because Joe is a stand out artist, he already had a very successful solo career, he didn't need those boys musically. Even in the band he stands alone. I wonder what became of Don Felder?

My Older brother said when Joe Wash came out he was so far ahead of all the rockers, we were blown away! play that again son! we would play it and crank it to 11. it was total awsome, every DJ was playing his music and they were getting requests all day and night. that was a quote from the late Bill Lamb who was a DJ in Flint Michigan.

Did this song come out before woman from tokyo? Just asking cause is the same main riff
chillichomper 1 year ago
Woman from Tokyo is in the key of E and this is in the key of A. They have a similar feel and sound, but it is certainly NOT a ripoff...

I know. I have both albums. Deep Purple released WDWTWA in January 1973. Joe's album wasn't released until June of the same year.

Joes' mom played piano on an album with him. That's where he probably learned a lot. He' still stands the test of time. always great, even when he's improvising on live performances.

Back in 1971, when Joe's career was just beginning with the James Gang, I read a review of then-current guitar players. The reviewer stated that, even then, Joe Walsh did not comprehend how good of a guitar player he was. He has always been very special to me.

The intro and outro riff is Deep Purple, "My Woman from Tokyo," but Joe makes a whole different song out of it. Joe is a very accomplished keyboard player and used a Hammond B-3 organ and piano from the James Gang's first album to all of this subsequent records. He wanted a deeply layered sound with the keyboards equal to the guitars. He is always thinking like a producer, who wants to hear all the instruments and give each one their solo space in the arrangement.
