As I wrote that date, December 7th, I realize that it is the anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Very sad day to go down in history. Many thanks to all the servicemen.
This is my last blog on Joe Walsh!! Four is enough and that's all I've got of Joe in photos. Once he joined the Eagles he and the band became very hard to photograph. Even with Vince Gill as an old friend from his Pure Prairie League days it just got really hard to get access.
They have also become the most expensive tickets to buy for a show I hear. Great band but $1000. or more for a good seat is crazy!
This show I photographed was in Milwaukee in 1980 according to my records but that doesn't work out with the tour list! So, if anyone knows a Milwaukee date let me know please. The slides are stamped August 1980!
The band here was great with Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit, Don Feldner and Glen Frey. Joe Walsh joined the band in late 1975 and they broke up in late 1980 a few months after this show.
Enjoy a look at the boys from my one seat way back with a long lens! Wish I had my present gear back then. Photos would be a lot better!
Thanks,

Continuing with Joe Walsh blogs, here is another one!
Joe played a show at the Riverside Theater in Milwaukee on March 19, 1975.
This was towards the end of his solo career as he was to join the band The Eagles in December of 1975.
He is an amazing guitar player and this show did not disappoint.
His microphone stand has an interesting display of a horn, a mask and even a bicycle handlebar.
Enjoy a look at one of Joe Walsh's last solo shows.
Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving!

For my last blog I cleaned up a lot of old images of Joe Walsh from 1971. So, I figured I should keep working on Joe Walsh photos and cleanup some of my favorite photos from Summerfest 1973 and some of my favorites of Joe!
It was in 1973 when Joe Walsh had his band, Barnstorm ,with Joe Vitale, Rocke Grace, and Kenny Passerelli
When I took these photos, I could not move from the spot I had secured because it was so crowded. If I could have moved, I would have pictures of the drummer and bass player! Joe Vitale is such a great drummer and Kenny Passerelli a great bass player.
Enjoy a look at Summerfest and Joe in 1973. I cleaned them up a lot but a few could use a little more work!
Thanks,
Rich Zimmermann
