With his signature talk-box wizardry, fiery solos, and charismatic stage banter, Walsh blended tracks like "Rocky Mountain Way," "Life's Been Good," and "Funk #49" with covers and medleys, showcasing the blues-rock edge that made him a staple of 70s arena rock.

Joe Walsh, born November 20, 1947, is an American guitarist, singer, and songwriter whose five-decade career has made him one of rock’s most distinctive and influential players. After cutting his teeth in Ohio bands and attending Kent State, he hit the national stage with the James Gang (1969–1971), where his riff-heavy “Funk #49” showcased his instantly recognizable tone and voice. Leaving in 1972, he formed Barnstorm with Joe Vitale and Kenny Passarelli, releasing three albums credited as solo Walsh projects, including the classic The Smoker You Drink, the Player You Get (1973) and its landmark single “Rocky Mountain Way.” At producer Bill Szymczyk’s urging, Walsh replaced Bernie Leadon in the Eagles in late 1975, bringing his searing slide and talk-box wizardry to Hotel California (1976)—home to his and Don Felder’s immortal dual-guitar solo ranked among the greatest of all time—and The Long Run (1979), plus the 2007 reunion album Long Road Out of Eden. As a solo artist he scored huge hits with “Life’s Been Good,” “All Night Long,” and “A Life of Illusion,” releasing twelve studio albums from So What (1974) to Analog Man (2012). He’s also been a go-to session player, a member of Ringo Starr’s All-Starr Band, the short-lived supergroup The Best, and even New Zealand’s Herbs. Praised by Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton for his feel and style, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with the Eagles in 1998, Walsh remains a beloved live force and a guitarist who—despite Rolling Stone’s questionable #54 ranking—most real players would put in the top ten without hesitation.
