James Gang rides again

The original three members of the James Gang have once again reunited...this time for a summer tour, commencing August 10th at the Sturgis Road Rally. Tour dates extend into September, as of this writing.

This summer tour lineup includes James Gang founding member and drummer Jimmy Fox, bassist Dale Peters and Joe Walsh on guitars, vocals, slide, wah-wah and special effects. This particular lineup recorded their most memorable album "James Gang Rides Again."

After a live album, Walsh departed to focus on his solo projects and later joined the Eagles. He was replaced by Tommy Bolin, who brought in his new songs and recorded "Bang." Bolin left later on to do his solo projects, and then joined Deep Purple.

Rewind back to 2001, which was the first time in thirty years that this lineup of the James Gang had reunited to perform a series of full-blown public concerts, for the Cleveland Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame charities. Inspired, the band gathered together again in 2005 for another group of sold-out shows.
