Joe Walsh - Reunion Arena, Dallas 1981 (2024)

By 1981, The Eagles had been placed on hold by all members and Walsh was eager to get back on the road; 'I miss playing and I just decided that since my album was done and coming out, I’ve wanted to play for a long time with Kunkel and with Chocolate, and I just decided, what the heck, I’ll just go out and turn it up and improvise like the old days.' Performed at the Reunion Arena in Dallas, TX on July 10th, for broadcast on the King Biscuit Flower Hour radio show during the There Goes The Neighbourhood tour, Walsh is reunited with his pals from Barnstorm (his post-James Gang solo group) and delivers a spirited set with some pieces that you wouldn‘t otherwise hear live. Together, they traverse twelve of Joe's best known songs with Eagles and James Gang tunes mixed in to make any Walsh fan happy. Along with the crowd pleasers, lesser known tracks feature here like The James Gang classic 'The Bomber' making this an even more valuable addition to anyone's collection. Timeline revisits this classic performance with a fully restored and professionally remastered original broadcast. Presented with background notes and archival photos
