Joe Walsh proves he's one of the guitar greats
To wit: Joe Walsh. While not technically a superstar, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and celebrated Eagles guitarist brings something special to the table on every song.
Something very special, indeed.
Walsh who made his Victoria debut on Tuesday during an outdoor concert at Esquimalt's Bullen Park came out of the gate slow and steady, dropping his beach friendly hit, A Life of Illusion, one song into his set.
There was more where that came from, ranging from a cover of I Shall Be Released, which he dedicated to his late friend Levon Helm, to a soulful and rip roaringly good version of Turn to Stone. He makes music that is made for the shade a party friendly mixture of fist pumping rockers and gut busting novelty songs, some of which are tops in their respective genres.
He isn't all what he's made out to be, either. While he was funny ( spent a week up here one night, Walsh quipped, one of many subtle one liners tossed from the stage), he didn't rely on jokes for effect.
It wasn't necessary. Walsh's innate ability at coaxing magic from his stable of Fender and Gibson guitars is well told at this point see Rocky Mountain Way and Funk 49 and he hasn't lost a step over the years.
Ontario's Kim Mitchell opened the show with an hour long set of CanCon staples, from Rockland (a solid power ballad) to I Am a Wild Party (a beer soaked sing along).
He was a superb choice for an opening act, and though he had a few misses (Lager and Ale
didn't hit the high notes, but the effort was there), it was a treat to hear songs like All We Are, which was carried by his sweet singing bassist Peter Fredette.
The longtime sideman fake van cleef clover earrings also elevated Go for a Soda with his upper register, similar to the way Michael Anthony did for Van Halen back in the day.
It was a treat, albeit a subtle one.
Walsh got better as the night went along. During a version of Life in the Fast Lane, which he co wrote, Walsh sounded like a fierce player, a guitarist van cleef arpels earrings replica not to be messed with. He was great not just good with an instinctive van cleef & arpels necklace copy feel so rarely evident in modern day guitarists.
When he brought the night to a close with his signature song, Rocky Mountain Way talkbox and all it was a fitting cap to a solid, low key concert attended by 2,400 fans.
In fact, he makes magic with his guitar. The evidence is right there in the space between the notes and chords.
