The cover photo is taken in front of Carnegie Hall with a poster on its marquee announcing their appearance, but I don't know if the poster is real. There isn't much info on the cover, so I don't have much else to offer - other than this is an extremely bone crushing power trio album. Many are familiar with James Gang's hits such as "Walk Away" which is included, but if you think the James Gang's studio albums are in the hard-rock category, this album is quite a few notches above that. Even when Joe Walsh puts down his impressive distorted wah-wah and Echo-plex leaden guitar and steps behind the B-3 for a tune, it is still brutal. This is in large fact due to the combination of the mammoth bass-guitar sound, straightforward recording style, and the excellent choice of songs. Five of the eight songs are cover tunes, including the R&B classic "Stop" that Jimi Hendrix also delivers on his Live at the Filmore East album, but rather than the relatively straight-ahead version Jimi's Band of Gypsys does, the James Gang pummels the song into the ground. There isn't a dud on this record. I have little patience for blues improvisations by other than the masters of the genre, but even the jam on "Lost Woman" is more than tolerable.
Awesome! February 27, 2004
guitar fan forever (Eagan, Minnesota United States)
This recording showcased an element of Joe Walsh that was never heard of again. I've listened to Yer' Album and Rides Again but I wasn't prepared for what I heard when I put this one on. This is quite simply some one the best progressive blues/rock live performances ever recorded. With the powerful riffs and sustained bends,wah wah and delay effects, Walsh did it all and did it well! The tone on his guitar had just enough distortion to play the notes clean, but when he cranked up the volume, it had you shakin in your boots. You could just imagine Walsh standing center stage, leaning back with his eyes closed and gritting his teeth as he let the high notes ring effortlessly. I had a new found respect for Walsh after hearing this one. I only wish it would have been a longer recording. That's my only gripe as it is too short. The James Gang will go down in my books as one of the greatest power trios ever.
 REMASTER IS NOT AS GOOD AS ORIGINAL? May 6, 2003

OKAY, I WON'T BOTHER WITH MY OPINIONS ON THE SONGS ON THIS ALBUM. IN BRIEF, SOME OF THE TUNES ARE BETTER REPRESENTED HERE, LIVE - WITH THE RAW ENERGY. THEN AGAIN, SOME OF THESE TUNES ARE BETTER AS THE ORIGINAL STUDIO RECORDINGS. HOWEVER, I OWN THIS REMASTERED "IMPORT" VERSION AND THE ORIGINAL DISC AND I FOUND THAT THIS REMASTERED VERSION HAS A "SKIP" TOWARDS THE END OF THE TRACK, "WALK AWAY". I OWNED TWO COPIES OF THIS SAME DISC AND THEY BOTH HAD IT, AND NEITHER SHOWED ANY SIGHS OF BEING SCRATCHED WHEN HELD UP TO THE LIGHT. THERE MUST HAVE BEEN SOME SORT OF MISPRINT OR SOMETHING AT THE PLANT WHILE THEY WERE MANUFACTURING IT. MY ORIGINAL RELEASE VERSION FORTUNATELY DOESN'T HAVE IT. DID ANYONE ELSE FIND THIS PROBLEM?
Joe Walsh plays the blues! Have mercy! March 24, 2003
E. Voorhies (United States)
I'm 50 years old and have been playing guitar most of my life. I've seen most of the great guitarists live. I've seen Hendrix. I've seen Clapton. I've seen Page. I've seen Beck. I've seen Blackmore. I've seen Gibbons. I've seen Freddie and BB King, and freddie made me cry. I've seen the Allmans. I could go on and on. Of all the guitarist performances in the last 35 years, who would I rate as the best? This one! Joe Walsh live with the James Gang at the Overton Park Shell in Memphis Tennessee. I wasn't expecting this. I already knew about Joe Walsh and liked the funky rock style of the James Gang. That was what i was expecting. A cute little polished top 40 pop rock group with a pretty good guitarist/vocalist.Man was I in for a shock! What I saw was Joe Walsh wearing a sunburst Les Paul Standard plugged into Marshall stacks and turned up loud! What I heard was the best played, best sounding electric blues/rock in my life. Hendrix could do it in the studio.....but this man did it live! The high spot was the blues number "You're gonna Need Me." I heard the most tasteful, sweetest, creative blues lead in my life and i still haven't forgotten it. The beautiful sustain and phrasing of Walsh's playing was the most perfect example of power under control that i have ever witnessed. The guitar and the power behind it was a part of the man's soul. For the life of me i don't know why Walsh has downplayed this side of his talent. If you haven't heard this you haven't really heard either Joe Walsh or the James Gang.I have been wanting to express my admiration of this work for many years. I thank Amazon.com for granting me the privelege. If you really love the blues guitar, you owe it to yourself to listen to this offering. You won't hear the blues exactly like this anywhere else.
