Very touching indeed.
Thanks! Though he obviously holds strong political beliefs, his main concern is voter apathy. He really believes everyone should vote--regardless of party affiliation.
So that's cool!
Here's a older, but excellent, article about Walsh from 1975, written by Cameron Crowe. I'm sure this appears elsewhere in the thread, but I didn't see it among recent postings. So I'm posting it again for those who've not seen it.
Here's the link:
Excellent article that expands the great YouTube interview WalshFan88 posted yesterday. Here are some highlights:
- Walsh loves the people he’s currently touring with, especially Waddy. "Waddy's great," he says. "I gave him the freedom to translate my songs and figure out what he thought he should play. He's come up with some stuff I never would've thought of, and it's great. It makes it newer for me....He makes me play a little more aggressively. Makes me play in a way I usually don't unless I have to.”
- Inspired by his current line up, Walsh also talks about doing some new recordings with his current band. He’s thinking that making the recordings available on the internet might be the best way to insure people hear them.
- Walsh says the tour is also therapeutic as he recovers from Frey’s death. And it sounds like he's interested in a possible tour with Henley later on. Walsh notes he's talked to Henley and they both agreed to "revisit" the possibility of doing something after a year has passed.

Here's a nice story from someone who was working with the Swedish crew for the band back in 1977. He thought Joe was a roadie. Scroll down to the B&W photo

Joe posted on his Twitter earlier today that his Portland show was recorded and they're going to turn it into a live album!!!

"So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains and we never even know we have the key."
Is there a track listing for the Portland Show? I hope there are some rare tracks or covers on the album.
I'm excited to hear that! I hope the Portland show was a great show, quality-wise.

I hope he includes video footage and puts it on YouTube or something. It's interesting he said "album." I know he's an analog man, but he must mean a CD, DVD, or some type of digital download.
About the setlist, I'm not seeing one--yet! It's still early. But here's one from the concert the day before at the winery.

I don't believe his setlist varied much this year, except for the first few shows when he did Rosewood Bitters. But sometime in May, I believe, he replaced Rosewood Bitters with Everyday People.
