Joe Walsh Rocks “Funk #49” on The Late Show and Prepares for James Gang’s Final Performance at VetsAid Charity Concert
Rock legend Joe Walsh recently electrified The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, performing the iconic James Gang track “Funk #49” alongside Louis Cato and The Late Show Band. Walsh’s performance was part of an exciting week-long musical residency, showcasing his unmatched talent and energy.
Walsh, a longtime advocate for veterans, is also gearing up for his annual charity event, VetsAid, now in its sixth year. This year’s concert promises to be particularly special, as Walsh reunites with the classic lineup of James Gang for what is being billed as the band’s “final performance.”
The James Gang Reunion and VetsAid
Walsh’s journey with James Gang dates back to 1968, but he left the band in 1972 to pursue his solo career with Barnstorm. James Gang, known for hits like “Funk #49,” “Walk Away,” and “Tend My Garden,” had a major impact on the rock scene during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Fans are eager to see Walsh, along with original members Jimmy Fox and Dale Peters, reunite for this monumental show.
The VetsAid concert will take place on November 13 at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio. As always, proceeds from the event will support veterans’ services, with a focus on distributing grants to organizations based in Ohio this year.
A Star-Studded Lineup
Alongside the James Gang reunion, VetsAid will feature an incredible lineup of guest performers, including Dave Grohl, Nine Inch Nails, The Black Keys, and The Breeders. With such an impressive array of talent, the concert is set to be a standout event in the world of rock and roll.
As Walsh continues his commitment to helping veterans through VetsAid, this year’s concert promises to be one of the most memorable yet.
