The Stone Poneys was the first band Linda Ronstadt was with, but if you look at the credits on the third album from 1971 entitled Linda Ronstadt there four names that will look like the beginning of the Eagles.
I was just watching/listening to this the other night!
That's on this fall's calendar. The Eagles (finally) resume their 'Hotel California' tour. Nose bleed seats, but it's the first real chance I've had to see Walsh in, ever? I grew up on the Eagles and especially James Gang. A local band covered them at, yes, the community center dances when I was in high school. My friend did the light show with oil, water and an overhead projector. He called himself 'Liquid Acrobat'.
At the old Cleveland Arena (long ago demolished and replaced by the Coliseum, also since demolished) or Cleveland Public Hall? I saw JT at Public Hall in 1971 and again in 1972 while in High School. Did you ever attend any of the World Series of Rock concerts at Cleveland Stadium (also demolished)? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Series_of_Rock I attended one: it featured Aerosmith, Ted Nugent, Journey, Thin Lizzy, ACDC, and the Scorpions. Was a lot of great music played that day but the event also featured a great deal of violence that Cleveland concerts were famous for. I was working as a sailor (merchant seaman) at the time and living in New Hampshire when not at sea. The beginning of my vacation leave coincided with my ship's arrival in Cleveland and I signed off and headed for my parent's home in Geauga County for a visit. I learned of the concert shortly thereafter (featuring several of my favorite bands at the time) and procured a ticket. A massive crowd was in attendance (> 80,000 I believe). BTW, during my sophomore year at Chardon High School, the band Chicago held a concert in the gymnasium. Several years after I graduated, The Police did the same.
I did see Journey at some old theater in Youngstown before anyone had heard of them. I grew up in Warren. Used to go to Geauga Lake Park as a kid. This is my favorite memory of celebrating my birthday at the old Cleveland Municipal Stadium. Yes, I attended the 10 cent beer night riot and one game where we burnt up a bunch of disco records!
Tedeschi Trucks Band with Trey Anastasio released an album of a live concert covering the classic Layla Album called Layla Revisited. Awesome!
I enjoyed viewing the link you provided! I remember both the 10 cent beer night and disco sucks (?) promotions at Indian's games. The fact that you were in attendance for the 10 cent beer night game is pretty wild. Saw several hilarious and entertaining videos of what occurred on the field during the game/between innings but the one that stands out for me was of a nicely dressed, middle-aged African American woman chasing an umpire across the infield while swinging her large purse like a lasso attempting to strike him with it.
Glad to see a Joe Walsh fan. I went to high school with his (half) brothers. He graduated a few years before I got to high school, but I saw photos of him playing gigs in our high school gym.
I found this concert on Spotify. Excellent! Thanks for the heads up.
