Rock and Roll Auction Extravaganza: Joe Walsh's 'Life's Been Good' Collection Up for Grabs!
Joe Walsh, the renowned guitarist of The Eagles, is auctioning off over 800 items from his life and career, including guitars, cars, amps, and stage clothes. The auction, titled "Life's Been Good: Joe Walsh Collection," will take place on December 16-17 at the Troubadour in West Hollywood. A portion of the proceeds will go to VetsAid, a non-profit organization supporting veterans.
Among the items up for auction is Joe Walsh's 1966 Framus Strato Gold Deluxe Sunburst 12-String electric guitar, which he used extensively on his 1972 Barnstorm album. This guitar holds sentimental value for Walsh and played a significant role in his early solo career. The auction will also feature memorabilia from The Eagles, including stage clothes and guitars used during performances.
Fans and collectors will have the opportunity to bid on unique pieces of rock and roll history, such as the sheepskin jacket worn by Walsh on the James Gang's Thirds album cover and his Epiphone guitar from the Analog Man album cover. The auction will offer a wide range of items at various price points, allowing fans to own a piece of music history while supporting a charitable cause.
Joe Walsh's dedication to supporting veterans is evident through his involvement with VetsAid, a cause close to his heart. The proceeds from the auction will contribute to raising funds for veterans' groups across the country. Walsh's commitment to giving back to those who have served our country is reflected in his philanthropic efforts and annual VetsAid concert.
