Nov 3, 2008 - Good call 110lake. I had Vince Guaraldi in just before I looked The Bomber up. Coincidence?

Nov 5, 2008 - I have a Vince Guaraldi CD and absolutely adore it. There is much to be said for how Vince and Joe used this and made it appealing for all.

Nov 8, 2008 - Fantastic cut....harkens me back to my youth. Interesting to see others have made the Ravel connection as well.As for the awesome solo at 1:45; has a rather Led Zeppelin-esqe sound mixed in with a bit of Edge (U2)........really very much pioneering Echoplex slide work for the time; shows how much can be done with few notes. Less is more, as they say. Great post-thanks so much!

Nov 11, 2008 - is dis 1 of led zepplins songs?

floridashorti Says:

Nov 11, 2008 - No, this is not one of Led Zeppelin's songs. This song was composed by Dale Peters, the bass player for the James Gang.

Nov 20, 2008 - The Bomber not a hard song but usually brilliance can be found in simplicity Love the Hook makes me wanna get drunk and mosh

Aoidi Says:

Nov 20, 2008 - Early Early Joe Walsh, known as the James Gang and super hot in Cleveland circa 1970. His talent was obvious, but a couple years later he was still playing lead act for the Guess Who. Incredible. Keep Rock'n, Joe!

kavedude77 Says:

Nov 30, 2008 - Great song.

wadeclayw Says:

Nov 30, 2008 - Joe played for the Guess Who?

Aoidi Says:

Nov 30, 2008 - No, sorry. Didn't mean that. Joe Walsh played first, the opening act, before the Guess Who. However, since he was so well known in Cleveland, most of the people were there for him...the Guess Who turned out to be the "other" band.
