James Gang

In 2006, when James Gang performed "Funk #49" on the Howard Stern Show, the band was experiencing a resurgence after reuniting for a brief tour and new album "The Long Road Back," released in 2000. This performance marked a significant moment in their career, as it showcased their enduring legacy and the continued appeal of their sound, particularly that of Joe Walsh’s distinctive guitar work and vocal style. Notably, the live performance not only featured "Funk #49," a classic from their 1970 album "Yer' Album," but also highlighted the band's ability to attract attention years after their initial success in the early 1970s. At this time, the band was focused on reconnecting with fans and introducing their music to a new generation, which this live appearance aptly demonstrated. The combination of nostalgia and contemporary relevance made their 2006 performances particularly significant.
