Joe Walsh Is Coming To Mud Island (Giveaway Ended)

Joe Walsh Is Coming To Mud Island (Giveaway Ended)

I have good news...and I have great news. First, the good news.

On Saturday, August 13 - smack in the middle of Elvis Week - guitar legend and Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame inductee Joe Walsh will perform at Mud Island Amphitheater as a part of his Joe Walsh Toor 2016 (yes, it's spelled like that on purpose).

Tickets range from $45 to $80, and JD and the Straight Shot will open the show. Ticketmaster lists the show time as 8 p.m. Get your tickets here.

OK, time for the great news: I have two pairs of tickets to give away to I Love Memphis blog readers!

How to win: Leave a comment on this blog post telling why you want to go. I'll do a random drawing on Monday, July 25 at 10 a.m., so be sure to check your email at that time.

Congrats to our winners, Jeff and Hank (they've been emailed)!

But wait, there's more: right after that drawing on Monday, I'll post even more chances to win tickets to Joe Walsh on the I Love Memphis Instagram and Twitter pages, so be sure to follow those if you don't already.

I would LOVE to win these tickets and take my mom to see Joe Walsh! She is a huge fan and raised me listening to his music. Plus, all shows on Mud Island are the most fun.

I want to see Joe Walsh at Mud Island because there's not an opening riff in rock better than Funk 49. Because the only time I ever heard him play it was in The Pyramid for the Hell Freezes over tour in 1994. Because I want to hear him do it again before he or I croak. Come to think of it, he'll probably outlast me. I think Joe Walsh is going to be the next Keith Richards.

I've been a fan of Joe since high school. He's one of my favorite guitarists. I play myself, and wish I could play half as good as he does. Haha. It'd be great to get to see him do his thing live!

I saw Joe on Mud Island over 20 years ago. I would love to take my wife so she can see why I bragged on the show so much. (This was before we met.)

I love going to rock concerts at Mud Island Amphitheater, especially in the heat of summer! I just wish there were more good shows like this at MIA. I've never seen Joe Walsh solo, I've heard he puts on a great show so I hope to win these tickets!

From The James Gang to Barnstorm to The Eagles, Joe Walsh has rocked throughout time. My wife and I have seen him once and we'd love to see him again on Mud Island.

I want to win tickets to Joe Walsh to surprise my wife, she's been so busy of late that she has no clue that one of her faves is even coming to Memphis. And thanks to this awesome blog I now know about it and will get her tickets even if I don't win.

I would love to win these tickets for my parents. They have always been big fans of the Eagles and both have loved Joe Walsh. Their anniversary is August 19, and I think that this would be the perfect gift for them!

It would be greatly appreciated if we could win these tickets. I am a college student so funds are low. My husband watches Joe on TV every chance he can get. I would love the opportunity to surprise him with these tickets.

I would love to win tickets to see Joe Walsh! My dad used to blare Funk #49 at my morning school drop off. I remember being so embarrassed but now I realize Dad was the cool one. It would be awesome if we both could go!

Joe lived here in Memphis off and on for a while. He knew me at Ardent and he also would play some at the old "rites of spring " gatherings. I am 64 now, disabled and would love to see Joe again while I am still able. Welcome home Joe!!!

Love this blog and I love me some Joe Walsh! Very excited for what should be a sultry night on Mud Island!

Back in 1992, I attended the Party of Two (Glenn Frey and Joe Walsh) tour at Mud Island. I thought that was as close as I would ever get to see an Eagles concert. Four Eagles concerts later--one in Memphis and a Don Henley show (at the Pyramid), I've been a lucky guy. Joe was a mess back in 1992, but he still put on a great, great show. I'd love to see Joe again--he's at the top of his game!!

Hey womma lily wah be bip ebobble oodle ah woah yeah. Aaaaah! Aaaaah! Aaaah! Aaaaaah! (Intro to "Meadows," first song on side two of his really good album "The Smoker You Drink The Player You Get.") Cracks me up every time I hear it. This is the first time I've ever tried to spell it out, and I think I nailed it!

I'd love to take my father in law for his birthday (Aug 16th aka dead Elvis day)! He would love to see Joe Walsh as he is a musician himself! Thanks for the chance to win!!

Dear Holly, I’m trying to win tickets to Joe Walsh because it’s @CaptainComic’s birthday that night, and while Life’s Been Good to him so far, he’s Just an Ordinary Average Guy who deserves to celebrate All Night Long, but not the Rocky Mountain Way because he’s no longer a Smoker and we wouldn’t want to Turn to Stone anyway. While I wouldn’t say he’s lived a Life of Illusion, he has been taking it One Day at a Time, and Mother Says he’s a bit of an Analog Man. So, Holly, please Help Me Through the Night and don’t Walk Away from this chance to help @CaptainComics take a Time Out and celebrate his birthday In The City. Sincerely, Joan

Privileged to see him with The Eagles last summer in N. Little Rock, then again a few weeks ago in New Orleans touring with Bad Company. Third time will be a charm outdoors on MI.

James Gang Rides Again was one of the first albums I ever owned. I got it out of the attic and tried playing it....too many scratches. I wore it out a long time ago. 2 tickets please...thank you.

Big fan of The Eagles! I saw them at The Pyramid with my dad many moons ago. While he's gone, I can share my love of their music with other family.

Love, love, love Joe Walsh. My cousin (Lisa Pritchett) dated him for years and years, before she ended up dating John with the Who, and died of an overdose. Sad, I know. I love his music and would love to go see him, but man ticket prices are costly these days!!!!! Please?????

Imagine Mud Island Amphitheatre is the Red Rocks of Memphis. Now imagine being there, listening to Joe Walsh. You have a rock n roll Icon playing his greatest hits, the Memphis skyline in her glory as the backdrop, the sweet August sweat only a Memphis summer can bring - I'm in the mood to win those tickets!
