John Connor yes, when Joe Walsh left The James Gang, Tommy Bolin joined and if I’m not mistaken, it was Joe Walsh the suggested him. Now, the song they are playing is Funk #49. Tommy Bolin was an excellent musician but this is not his song. This song is Joe’s song. It’s ok but but I think they really killed the song here. Joe is the only one that makes the song sound good.

Tommy was not terribly cool with playing the back catalogues of either JG or DP. If he hadn't been forced to play old material he didn't write, my guess is he would have been an even better player and a happier, less stressed guy. He was a monster with material he was comfortable with.And he loved that damned Echoplex.

Tommy Bolin was a good guitar player, but hardly up to the task of filling in for Joe Walsh - that's why the Gang needed a singer and a guitar player to replace Joe when he left.
