You can make a decent argument that "Life's Been Good" summed up the seventies better than any other song. The riff, the solo, the bass line, the hooks, lyrics reeking of decadence and bloated rock star braggadocio, wicked sense of humor. Walsh had great moments in the James Gang, the Eagles, guest soloing on other artist's records, but his solo work from 1977-1981 may have been the top of his game.

Got a little oversaturated with "Life's."
To me this is Joe at his peak. My favorite of his by a good margin.

Dude could shred it. Eerily remeniscent of his late friend Tommy Bolin, another Iowa native who replaced him in the James Gang and Ritchie Blackmore in Deep Purple, but no pressure or anything.

A college roommate of mine from the Sioux City area had Tommy's solo stuff. It took my eleven years to find "Teaser". My search finally ended on State Street in Madison.

we could have an entire thread about one hit wonders, and silly feel good songs from our youth. Funny in
#1DieHardHawk's thread above 3 songs presented that I never really associated with each .

Northside...I remember listening to The James Gang in the woods drinking beer in HS. Great times.
Funk 49 and Walkaway

Agreed. That was the one song of JW's that I would put on and listen to... this version from this album though.

Grham Nash will be in Iowa City on March 23rd. Link

Has that 70's sound and beat, recorded inside a box lined with shag carpet

 

[NCHawker]

Grham Nash was with the Hollies before coming to the states to join Crosby and Stills.

The song smells like weed and cheep beer....and great memories

Interesting. Never heard that version before. I'm not sold that a flute solo works with that tune, though. Is that Ian Anderson doing a cameo?

...and we could swap posts with U2 songs.... and REM ...whom I think has just an impressive body of work as U2.

Definitely the unsung hero of the (occasionally fortified) trio.

Olde English was my traditional go to beverage of choice for fantasy football drafts.

Yeah, that's about as 70's as it gets. I hear a mix of Deep Purple, Jefferson Airplane, Thin Lizzy and Ten Years After in this tune.

Shag carpeting yes, but not a box...A full sized van.

Noticed that too. It went away after I refreshed the page.

I love when a song comes on the radio randomly that I hadn't thought about in years. This morning, when this song came on and I couldn't believe it
