Joe Walsh, fronting James Gang just torqued the knobs off a stadium stack of amps in the SMALL Eagles Auditorium; Seattle 1971 playing Funk 49. I had to lay on the floor with cig filters in my ears. He was into some serious performance aids then. It was great but my hearing has never been the same.Love that you guys are still listening to all this quality rock-n-roll music, but just be remember, there is only one band that dared to turn it to eleven!
Don't know why it didn't work?
Hotdamn, having to plug your ears with whatever you had on hand is pretty damn loud, it actually sounds very painful!
Many musicians from the past have lost at least some of their hearing because they were around the loudness so much all their lives, hopefully the young'uns are more careful about it nowadays. If not it's on them, but as fans we at least know better now and can take some earplugs with us just in case the bands go a little crazy with the decibels.
Absolutely Epic! The amount of respect that Carrie has for Axl is amazing - she's dancing like Axl in his younger years.
Joe needed to take a respite from a few things would be my guess. His survival to this day is cool and you only have to listen to "life has been good to me so far" once to know it was a crazy ride.
He may have lost a few things from that volume but not his playing ability. James Gang also played The Bomber: Closet Queen; channeling Jeff Beck's take on Ravel's Bolero. Their drummer also was classic. Joe did this on stage with virtually no excess effects; there didn't appear to be any mixing board tricks. Hendrix and Beck would have been proud.Hotdamn, having to plug your ears with whatever you had on hand is pretty damn loud, it actually sounds very painful!

Always love a lady who knows how to belt out some proper rock-n-roll tunes, my fave was always Janis Joplin.
And another one from Janis, though I think she would be considered more bluesy rock -

Proves all music is derivative. Love it.
Ball and chain....it is pure Rock. And pure Blues.
Her talent was very much Stellar.
One of LP's last live performances before the passing of Chester.
I remember Walk Away way back in my HS days. It was pretty popular music with some of the kids in the mid to late 70's - along with stuff from Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ top & The Cars.
Jim Kerr performs a modified version of this most iconic song. And Cherisse Osei kills it on the drums.
Just a few years before my time, but once I got old enough to drive in the mid '80s I listened to all those classic rock tunes on the radio. Good times, and good music!
I bit of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young in this thread, though this live performance came when they were a little bit older.

Being I'm a huge fan of the mere sound of a harpsichord I just had to look up some docs on how this whole thing came about...
