By 2006, the James Gang had undergone various lineup changes and reunions since their original formation in the late 1960s. The live recording of "Walk Away" from the Stern Show studio captures the band during a period of revitalization. Their most notable work prior to this performance included the album "James Gang Rides Again" (1970), which featured hit tracks like "Funk #49" and "Walk Away." This particular live performance underscores the band's legacy as a hard rock trio, showcasing their unique blend of guitar-driven sound and dynamic stage presence. Interestingly, the group had not released a studio album since "The Best of James Gang" in 1976 before this show, highlighting the nostalgia associated with their performances, and revealing how they continue to resonate with both longtime fans and newer audiences during live events like this one.
