When talking about going to see Eagles in Iceland (see here) I totally and unforgiveably forgot Joe Walsh. He's the guy who says on Hell freeses over that he only got drunk once and it lasted for 20 years.
He certainly was a great replacement for Don Felder when he left. He is probably most responsible for the added edge on The long run album and later and no doubt the main brain behind the Hotel California solo. Seeing him on stage early in the concert one wondered if he would last. After a few songs he took over and was certainly the MAN.
Here is an old Hotel California unplugged version. Me thinks Walsh is cool. He is the one with humour (see here) and here he adds the edge or steel into the country Eagles play. And man does he handle a gutiar.
He's also political. His Rocky mountain way is very cool. So don't walk away until you realize how tremendouos an addition he really is.
Thanks Eagles for a wonderful concert and thanks Joe for dotting the i´s and crossing the t's.
