Well….was flicking through the tv channels the other day and came across the 2017 Colorado Music Hall of fame celebration concert and to my surprise, one of the groups being honored was Barnstorm, Joe Walsh’s second group after the Jame Gang. Over the years since the early 70′s, I had never seen them play and they are one of my favorite groups from that era…I still listen to their music almost every day on the bike ride and it was so cool to see the three original members up on stage…with Joe, Joe Vitale, and Kenny Passerelli…and they did three songs off the first album that I have never seen played live before even with seeing Joe Walsh play almost a dozen times…I was a little curious what the music press thought of them at the time since I still think Barnstorm was a niche band that only my friends and I knew about but there were reviews in Rolling Stone and other magazines that called the album a “masterpiece”…who knew?  All I know is the music still makes me smile after more than 40 years…
