When Joe joined the Eagles in the 70s I thought he was incredibly lucky to get that gig but after years have gone by I think the Eagles are incredibly lucky to get Joe.

I think Walsh deserves more props in that he's one of the few older guys who can still sing!

The organ is a really nice addition to this song. Also the backup singers.

what a treat- damn. We're so lucky to be able to see this stuff with a click of a button.

The Orchestra Teacher (exceptional Celloist and of course classically trained) where I teach was hired by the Eagles to play while they did their gig in Dallas last year right before COVID...he didn't really know anything about Joe Walsh, they did three nights...when he came back after the first gig, he told he me could not believe what an unbelievable musician Joe Walsh is.

This is so cool

Joe Walsh is gold. He's never changed.

The coolest rendition of Funk 49 ever! I luv the back-up singers too!

how is he still that good after all the debauchery! insane. absolute legend.

That middle back up singer sets me testes on fire.

That pitchbend of that solo bit then back into the song so perfectly.... *shivers* please I need more of this :)

What a kick ass performance by one of the greatest all time song writers, guitar players and show men. Joe is a legend!

I'm applauding and cheering. Can you hear me? :) I'm 65. This brings me back to the 60's and early 70's. Joe has been such an influence. Most guitarists love him but it still feels like he's underappreciated for what he's done outside of the Eagles.

Will someone please tell Mr. Walsh that we’re still anxiously awaiting Funk #50?

THE REALITY IS THAT TECHNICALLY....JOE DIDNT NEED THE EAGLES...THEY NEEDED HIM MORE AS HE WAS ALREADY POPULAR JUST AS A BAD ASS GUITARIST....It's called fair exchange....Joe gave them Rock credibility & The Eagles gave Joe a bigger, grander platform to stand on for years to come

James Gang were so underrated

a song that has soul, is funky, AND rocks, is RARE

One of the absolute best. Walsh man. This sounds amazing too.

What can you say? He's funky, funny and fabulous!! Keep on Rockn' JOE!!

A bonafide rock hero, and there aren't that many of them. This guy is the real deal, and The Eagles did not deserve him.

Brilliant. The song is from 1970 and sounds like brand new. Kick ass performance, by the way!

Joe is so cool , it is so joyful to watch him on stage !

OMG What a great performance from Joe Walsh that song has been on my for almost 40 years now AWESOME

Just love Joe Walsh - nails it with vocals - and that guitar! Awesome!

I just love it when I can tell the band is really enjoying what they are doing! Sort of a joint "in the zone".!

Flashed him at an Eagles concert some years ago. The look on his face was priceless! He is some bad ass guitarist.

First heard Funk #49 in 1969. Never gets old. Nobody cooler than Joe. Tend my garden & Walk Away. Rock and roll.

Awesome...I love those background vocalists

This sends bloody chills down my spine. What a performance!

Joe is one of America's most underrated guitarist! And he's awesome!

This is the "essence of Rock n Roll,' boogie woogie wag that aluminum cutting plasma torch right through someones house. This man made the biggest recovery/comeback of any rock n roller of all time. I was listening to Funk49 when he, and I were little kids. The rest of you werent even a glimmer in your daddys eye... ;-) Shit, I am so proud of him, and I am soooo grateful to hear this now. Thank you for your strength Joe... you are a guitar god, and...... you EARNED IT.

It's great to see Walsh clean, sober and enjoying the music, again.

This song and "walk away" are gems.

One of the coolest dudes in show business

Quit drugs and alcohol like Joe if you got a problem! He is better than ever! What a killer musician.

I have loved this song since I first heard it in '71! Let's Ride Again! Great song! Great artist! THANK YOU for posting this!

Guy's a genius. Never takes himself too seriously.

Man, he's still got it. He may even be at his best right now. Glad to see one of my icons still groovin' and rockin'. Long live Joe.

Well! That was different! Just when you thought Joe couldn't surprise you, he does. One of the most natural and greatest guitar players ever!

Those soul singers and the tone of that guitar is what makes this great.

Tricks of the trade. Love his sound. Love the songs. Love the way he uses feedback to get those tones.

That was just too fricking good!!!! The girls rocked it too! Many props to them as well!!

His magic just keeps stronger, really is something very special in his playing. True genius!

If this don't move you, your mover is broke and needs fixing. Rock on Joe !!!

Love his voice and ease of playing... the best

The sound quality is absolutely superb. Good job Guitar Center mixers and masterers!!!!! The opening riff sounds like I'm in the room with him.

It's not possible to put into words, what a bad ass Joe Walsh is. For 50 years now, he has been on another planet, talent wise, compared to the rest of the world.

Happy Birthday Joe and many more of them! Please keep making great music!!!

Joe Walsh is absolutely awesome! I loved his friendly competition with Don Felder when they were with the Eagles ... priceless!

I f*cking love Joe's singing

Ok, this is awesome. But that chic in the middle is even MORE AWESOME!

I listened to this song on the original James Gang album a million times when I was 13 years old. And it was about the first riff I ever learned on the electric guitar. I still love the way Joe sings and plays. It was a trip to see him play nylon string behind McCartney on the Grammy awards show earlier this year. A very understated Joe!

Rock 'n Roll will save your mortal soul.

Hardcore.....No one could follow that.....No one.....Walsh is a magician with a guitar.....

I agree. Joe is a great guitarist!!! Part of what makes Joe so good is how passionate he is when he's playing. I love how he is not afraid to show his feelings in his face and whole body when he's performing. I'm glad Joe has not changed to conform to what the music industry says is cool. Joe's COOL just being himself. He is also a great solo artist who is very humble given his multiple musical talents. Watch his interviews. He is happy playing with the other Eagles, other artist's or on his own

He makes me weak in the knees. Wow what a musician. His humor I get too. Man he can play the guitar!!!

Joe Walsh is not only one of the best guitarist's but he's probably one of the best performers. I love watching him on stage. & his backup singers sound great to. A very tight act...

Hey Joe... Thank You! The talent is redlining!

Loved him in James Gang and always!!!!

what a bad ass riff, damn....

loving it, thanks guitar center for showcasing excellent Joe Walsh song

Great song, Great musicians and Joe walsh umbeliveble, tank's for vídeo!!!! São Paulo /brazil

Happy Birthday Joe! xoxo

Thank you so much dear Tim Tucker to have told me about this!!!!!I appreciate with heart!!!!!With Love, your OSS from Florence!!!!

Awesome version! What a badass lineup!

I read on a Who album once that Pete Townsend really admired Joe for his guitar! High praise from one guitar legend to another and well deserved! Rock on Joe!

Just think how many times Joe's played that yet he can still make it sound so damn fresh. What a great performance. Voice sounds superb 👏

Gotta love this tune, it’s one of my favorites

Thank you. You took me back to the best of times... ever.

Joe Walsh is the Man.

That’s so funky! ✅ 🎸🥁 🎤

Just the BEST love to watch him play!!!!!!

great tune! listened to him since the 70's and yes i am old!

Happy. Birthday joe Walsh. Thanks for. The. Music. I am a big fan.

Joe Walsh is amazing!

Use to listen to this on 8-track riding along the ocean front in my 1964 Chevy Impala SS Convertible in Narragansett Rhode Island back in 1973. Those were the days! Great song and great times!

Best version of this I’ve ever heard!

Great to watch when guys know what they are doing!!!

Just magnificent, nostalgia, unchanged only perfected!!

Brilliant! Joe is the most underrated guitarist in rock history. The Eagles were an average country band before Joe lit the fuse.

Amazing crafty riffs nothing tops that and the drummers beat awesome

OK on my like 10th time of listening to this in a row, and whoever mic'd and mixed this did an amazing job

The music is always great when the musicians are having this much fun

This is one of the great music men of my time. I am glad he is living a little more of a clean life now because I really want him to be around for a long time. This is one of the great. We are blessed to have the great musicians that we have. They influence people of all races to Rock On .

This ranks as one of the best live versions of this I've ever seen/heard. That's coming from a guy who has seen the eagles live four times!! The first two times with Glenn still in the mix. R.I.P. Glenn, you and Henley made a great choice when you got Joe in the band!!!

Those boys and girls be havin' fun!

A Huge Talent, everyone around Joe is better because of him..bravo!!

A nice blast from the past....well done!

holy s--t that might be the best performance of that I've ever seen! love it

I loved the ending so much I had to watch it twice!

He's the real bad boy of Rock and Roll.

Joe Walsh is an old man in this video, but he is still very entertaining to watch.

Outstanding

I bow 2 JOE...thk god for his playing...there is SO much more.....

Still coming back here in 2019 !! Who's with me ??? LOL !!

Seen Joe in Chicago many moons ago love his 🎶 music

one of the favoruites guitar players

This makes me so happy. This is such a jam!

Always has and always will be on top of my list, whatever that is, True talent, one of my favorites on Darrel's house.
