[cowcorp]

sitting here listening to james gang reading comments and saw chesterland hulabaloo! what a flash back. i spent much time there from 65 to 69. i am from the chagrin falls area. sfc

[luvmuzk]

it was totally the cool thing to do driving down the road with this song blasting, still would today

[SunnyBulldog1]

Saw this group in Elyria,Ohio,1969 and at the vDoose Lake Festival in Michigan,1970,and with Barnstorm in Toledo,1972.Yep,I dig them guitar licks!

[johnthehulk1]

Joe Walsh was better than when he became a member of "The Eagles". This is a great song. "The James Gang" rocked in 1971.

[Daveparts]

"Though the band was not a huge commercial success" say what?

[bgbrobru]

Saw them at the Goose Lake International Music festival, Jackson ,Mich, 1970. You shoulda been there.

I was listening to this as an Air Force brat in 1971 Bangkok Thailand, still brings back memories of those magical days.

[kschwartz6358]

@fatoldsun98 That's weird in 70-71 I was stationed at Korat AB in Thailand and really sold all my fellow serviceman on the James Gang, I use to live in Kent, Ohio before going into the USAF

[csw0551]

They played them in Kansas City. I loved them.

[ldiatone]

what about the GLASS HARP from youngstown 45 mins south? and i loved this group as i was in kent ohio in those days-:)

[jimscape]

Joe Walsh's is the definitive version.

[oberfour1]

Some of the best bands never see the light of day.

Then you have the overrated Beatles.

These guys should have been Americas` WHO.

[tbear10009]

I saw these guys play in 1971 and they were AWESOME-- too bad the bad never made it as big as Jowe walsh after he joined the Eagles--they were really good

[timin770]

Saw Joe with the JG 1971 Ohio State Fair. Totally blew me away

[daverheu]

blah blah, formed in ohio, blah blah: try 3 piece band on par with 'experience' Hendrix' band. nearly favorite drummer, bass too tight & originality that saved the Eagles! Nobody really talks about Dale Bugsley Peters... but listen, & you will

[alsaxe1]

@daverheu dale is great as is jimmy foxx...the band was awesome....the live album kicks butt.

[Nivicoman]

Joe Walsh is the man.

[woodtowl1]

very goiod they were with jo jo gunne,very good concert,never forget it

[woodtowl1]

[bopfan]

I am partial to the pre-Walsh James Gang featuring Glen

[Richard2003]

Nice video . I saw them in 1968 in Canton at what was called a battle of the bands.

[darealdjnutz]

James Gang kicks the Eagles ass.

[MrBluesrules]

@darealdjnutz

James Gang kicks Everybodys ass. They kick Al Quaedas ass.

[mootle661]

@MrBluesrules You have incredible foresight

[MrBluesrules]

@mootle661

It's the Rocky mountain way. At least that's how I see it from here in Denver. 

[SuicideisBrainLess]
