Just got around to watching this. Very cool. Thanks for the link!
"On December 8, 2016 the Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP) presented legendary guitarist Joe Walsh with its Founders Award, an honor given to artists who have made outstanding contributions in popular music"
Here's some footage from the event. Mostly speeches but there's some music towards the end. There's a pretty good write up, including a nifty set list to look out for. Good to see so many kids bopping away in the audience, which explains Joe's "passed their bed time" comment.
Performances name checked;
Joe Walsh, Dave Grohl (Bass) and Taylor Hawkins (Drums): (“Lost Woman” and “Walk Away”),
Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Noah Hunt: (“All Night Long”and “Turn To Stone”),

Good on yer Joe!
I was looking forward to watching Joe Walsh House Of Blues Las Vegas Residency Night #4 Recap but I can't watch it as;
This video contains content from Warner Chappell, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds
I thought Joe's music was under the auspices of Spirit Music Group. Even so, you'd think he'd be allowed to use his own music freely.
Can anybody tell me, which track is providing the soundtrack?

It's "Hi-Roller Baby", F50. There's also an instrumental part toward the end that I don't recognize but it sounds like it's from his early rockin' days. I don't know why it would be blocked by Warner. There are no snippets of any Eagles songs.

Thanks a lot Delilah. HRB was written by Tim Armstrong & L.P.
Joe's #5 Recap works fine.

It's been good to see Joe playing set lists closer to twenty songs rather than closer to ten. I suppose he'll be back to around a dozen on the Petty tour.
I thought there was a chance that Felder may re-enter Joe's life during the last week. Don's said he's made several attempts to reach out to his former Eagles buddies, over the years, and it looked to me like an opportunity had presented itself this month. Unless it was a private affair, I presume that they remain unreconciled, for the time being.
There's a smattering of Vegas videos on YouTube. I still enjoy watching Joe (and his great band) perform his 70s dependables. No real set list surprises though.
After watching a Richard Marx video of "Don't Mean Nothin' " posted on the Randy video thread (w/Randy and Timothy singing backing vocals), I found this video of the same song with Joe playing slide guitar, which he also played on the studio recording. It looks like it was from the Tammy Duckworth fundraiser in 2012 (there's also a bit of LITFL at the end, don't tell YT ).

I never knew the James Gang appeared in a 1971 movie, "Zachariah" and played 2 songs on the soundtrack! Here's a video clip of them performing Laguna Salada. Joe looks so young and cute here.

I love Laguna Salada .
I think it was originally one of the bands, on-stage instrumental jams. , I believe the band worked on it just after their first album, Yer Album was released ("When's yer album coming out?").
The other James Gang track, from the soundtrack, Country Fever features the vocals of Kenny Weiss. Kenny was hired by the band to ease Joe's load as singer, guitarist, keyboardist, everything apart from the rhythm section. Three weeks after recording the song, the band arrived at the movie shoot without Kenny. Band leader, Jim Fox said "his fifteen minutes of fame were up in fourteen". In the movie Joe pretends to sing the vocal.
Some of the incidental music is The James Gang too.
Both of The James Gang's Zachariah tracks are on the awesome MCA 2000 James Gang Greatest Hits CD.
