Live and in the studio are really just two different worlds. You would be surprised how differently various guitars and amps can sound on tape. Most music is not mixed just around the guitar sound. Remember, that your guitar will be mixed with other instruments so that the sound will change from the time you first lay down the guitar track until the finished product. But in his mind, he was prepared for the worst. Dont remember much about him at that Barnstorm show, just that he/they were goog. It was right after he left the James Gand and he used a Fender, probably a twin and played a Les Paul. I saw his Barnstorm project, basically the start of his solo career in about 1972-3. There are many reasons why this necessary. When The James Gang decided to ride again, Jimmy Fox was hoping for the best. Pretty sure Joe was a fender combo guy during his James Gang days. The band then released its debut album Yer Album. Everytime I do a long session I will use many amps and many different guitars. TIDAL is the first global music streaming service with high fidelity sound, hi-def video quality, along with expertly curated playlists and original content. In 1968 Joe Walsh replaced Schwartz when Schwartz left the band to join Pacific Gas & Electric. Not all good live players are that good in the studio and visa versa. Guitarist/frontman Joe Walsh is the ultimate classic rock regular suspect, briefly leading Cleveland's funk-rock power trio James Gang to album-oriented radio success, constantly turning up on a guest star, slipping into the Eagles as a new member when that band was already at its mid-70s peak, and managing a handful of solo hit singles that have become CHR standards. The studio is just so different than playing live. He was the man who sang and played guitar for the James Gang on classic rock staples such as 'Walk Away' and 'Funk 49.' A few years later, he gave the Eagles a harder rock edge after replacing founding guitarist Bernie Leadon, and promptly delivered through his work on the albums 'Hotel California' and 'The Long.

I also use a Tele on most of the tracks I record. Permanently reconfigured as a trio, the James Gang quickly developed a huge following in the Midwest and landed a record deal, leading to a 1969 debut album. I have recorded quite a bit over the years and I have used amps of all sizes, but I do generally have a preference for smaller amps, in the studio. A small amp can sound just as big as a stack. A big amp sounds big, live and a small amp sounds small, live. Amps can sound very different in the studio than they do live.
