Joe Walsh - Life's Been Good (2019)

DYNAMIC SOLO SHOW FROM JOE WALSH S 1983 TOUR Having joined the Eagles in 1975, in time to appear on the ground breaking Hotel California album (and its seminal title track), Joe Walsh re-ignited his solo career in 1978 while his new paymasters struggled to record its follow up. The critically well-received But Seriously, Folks... released in May 78 contained Joe s biggest solo hit, the comedic Life s Been Good . Following the breakup of the Eagles in July 1980, Walsh continued to release solo albums throughout the 1980s, and although the sales of such did not match the level of his earlier successes, his live tours were met with enthusiasm and commendations from fans and critics alike. Recorded for live FM Broadcast via the King Biscuit network, while touring his 1983 release You Bought It You Name It - his second post-Eagles album and his 6th overall solo-effort - the show presented here was played at the Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre on October 3rd 1983, featuring a sterling performance of his 1978 hit (which provides this CD its title) alongside 10 other JW classics, this dynamic show is finally available for non-attending fans to enjoy for the first time.
