According to Wikipedia:
“The James Gang was a rock band formed in Cleveland, Ohio in 1966…The band was not a huge commercial success, except in the Northeast Ohio area, (although) the fame garnered by guitarist Joe Walsh has since made the group more notable…”

Not really successful, that is, until they came to The Motor City!!!
In May of 1968 the group was booked to open for CREAM at THE GRANDE. A venue at which they were already well known…Ronnie Silverman, the James Gang guitarist bowed out at the last minute. The band, desperately in need of money went on as a trio…The three remaining members killed on the show and decided to remain a trio!
In March 1969 the band (now consisting of Jim Fox, Tom Kriss and Joe Walsh) released its debut LP, Yer' Album
—Exhibiting what they learned in
The Motor City…
