Kenneth Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Walsh, Ringo & Company! I'd like to have 1% of talent that is in that room in my ability to be a musician. Ringo Starr and Russ Kunkel playing as one- never missed a beat! Lee Sklar on bass Waddy Watchel on guitar Benmont Tench on keyboards Joe Walsh as Joe Walsh! I flew out to the R&R Hall of Fame in Cleveland when I was in my 20's, as The James Gang reunited to do a benefit for The R&R Hall of Fame. When I was in line buying a beer ( oh it was for a friend-lol) folks were talking and I was shocked how far folks came that night to see The James Gang. I thought I was far being from NJ but some one beat me! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to play funk 49 in a band, such fun and groove... Thanks for the reminder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenneth Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 OMG- I just went back and looked and I saw The James Gang in 2001 in Cleveland. I have to be honest, I was not in my 20's but in my FORTIES-lol. I seemed to have lost a few years in my life in between my 20 and 40's! It's called WORK-lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quince Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Time is a social construct:-) I saw the James Gang in 75' with Dominic Troiano on guitar. The opened for Edgar Winter Group. One hell of a concert. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirstin Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I'm late, but I picked up the 2022 Remix and Remaster of Revolver, and wow. Martin really managed to bring Ringo up in the mix. The remixed "She Said She Said" really makes Ringo shine here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZOBWYHgZjw You can finally hear the bass drum how it should be heard. Ludwig Squeak King not included. Walsh, Ringo & Co-Funk #49 is one of favorite vids to visit. I should be minding Ringo for a lesson but I still spend most of my time watching Lee Sklar. He is back there so chill. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame we never played this in the Beatles tribute band I was in but there's time yet 🙂 Edited January 5, 2023 by David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame we never played this in the Beatles tribute band I was in. Definitely Revolver. Of the latest works by Giles Martin, this is the only one I just had to have because it is a favorite, and because Peter Jackson was so kind as to lend Martin the means to fully deconstruct this album into separate tracks and remix it from the ground up. I was dead curious how Ringo's playing would sound now that the kit had been broken into individual parts and rebalanced. Yes, shame that tribute bands generally stick to the stage performance material. When I am good enough I wouldn't mind joining one for a time. Just to co-exist with my most favorite drummer for a while. There used to be an all woman tribute band around here, but not seen them for a while. I used to joke with them that if they ever needed a Jimmy Nichols "call me." P.S. The album also features "Rain" played at full speed. Mind blown. No wonder Ringo always claimed he was possessed and on fire that day. Edited January 5, 2023 by Kirstin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not good for the creative process though. I was never a perfect Ringo but I kept it in his style... and the wig was not my favourite thing at all 🤣. I loved the music and we did do some more obscure stuff but it didn't played often. I'll post a picture for a laugh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you should have been a guitarist. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree about it being creatively limiting reproducing someone else's work in tribute. But definitely worth a short time for the memory.

Turning up 3-5 nights a week and all the travelling between gigs does teach you a lot. And I had to sing and drum, 3-4 numbers a night which I had never done before. If you get the chance to do this then do it, it's a great teacher (not as great as @Stephen 😉). 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
