In this edition of the Flashback I’m jumping back to 1971 to a performance by a young Joe Walsh and his James Gang band. Now known primarily for his work with The Eagles, Joe Walsh had quite a successful early career with The James Gang and as a solo artist. There’s not much available online, but luckily this video exists and captures the power trio in a great performance of their moderate hit “Walk Away”. There’s something special about the power trio setup. One Guitar, one bass, drums and vocals… Not much wiggle room, especially when playing hard rock. This band was great at it.

In a Live Flashback double rarity I’m only flashing back one day into the past and I’m re-featuring a band I’ve already featured. Double rare! Anyways, The War On Drugs made their network television debut on the Jimmy Fallon show last night (01/11) and wow was it great. Not only is “Baby Missiles” a fantastic song, but you throw in ?uestlove as a 2nd drummer and you’ve got yourself a classic performance. Sprinkle in the fact that they’ve got a Jimmy Fallon lookalike on keyboards and it’s truely memorable. Slave Ambient was my 2nd favorite album of 2011 and this band deserves as much attention as they can get. Catch them on tour if you can! continue reading...
