Joe Walsh / NY, USA 10.08.2015 Complete Multi-Cam Edition

Since its renovation in 2012, the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester has thrilled fans worldwide with the sheer number of professionally shot videos taken for the venue’s lobby. In particular, the fall of 2015 saw performances by Jackson Browne and Robert Plant, not just simple recordings of the stage, but videos of such high quality that they could easily be officially released. The Joe Walsh video being released this time is also an astonishing professional shot of his October 2015 performance at the Capitol Theatre, recorded with image quality and content that is on par with official live footage. Walsh has been actively performing live since the release of his latest album to date, “ANALOG MAN,” in 2012, but despite this, there has been no comprehensive official release of live footage, with only a few live tracks included in the deluxe edition of the album. However, this time, the entire live performance is recorded with perfect image and sound quality. It makes you wonder what kind of filming equipment the Capitol Theatre has to be able to capture such magnificent footage. The audio is essentially a soundboard recording of the PA output, so the sense of presence is somewhat diminished, but it still conveys the excitement of the live performance. And since the footage is from 10 years ago, Walsh looks remarkably youthful. However, it’s not funny when he reads out the names of the band members written on a piece of paper during the introductions, but as he does so, his energy rises and he starts to goof around, which is typical of him. Also, drummer Joe Vitale, who has been with Walsh for a long time, is frequently shown in the background, which should be appealing to fans. In fact, Walsh does introduce him properly at the end, even as he escalates the introductions of the band members. But what’s truly wonderful is the performance itself. In a very relaxed atmosphere, Walsh plays and sings to his heart’s content. The sudden switch to a more modern, programmed arrangement midway through the familiar “Funk #49” is also characteristic of the stage performances of this period. The entire live performance features a magnificent setlist that is evenly distributed from James Gang to Eagles. Truly worthy of being called “The Best of Joe Walsh.” Above all, this video perfectly serves as a substitute for the yet-to-be-released compilation of live footage—a truly astonishing discovery!
