Joe Walsh backstage Wild Heart tour

[Macfan4life]

Here is a photo of Joe Walsh backstage at the Pittsburgh Civic arena, May 28, 1983 during the Wild Heart tour. In the photo is local radio DJ Chris DeCarlo who worked for WDVE at the time. Joe looks like the cat who swallowed the canary. I remember those pants....he wore them on stage too. He was interviewed on the radio before the show and he sounded really drunk. Joe put on a good show that night but Stevie mailed it in that night. She commented early in the show something was not quite right. Was she sick or bothered by something? The night before they played Philadelphia so I assume they stayed up and partied all night before the Pittsburgh gig. My theory is that Kim filed for divorce and confronted her on the phone. This was early in the Wild Heart tour but several weeks later was the Entertainment tonight interview where she talks about getting divorced on the road. This was about a month after the Pittsburgh gig. Only in Stevie's world do you get married, go on a honeymoon, and then hit the road with your boyfriend.
Also here is a clip of the DJ that is pictured with Joe. She was in Playboy magazine 3 years later and had left WDVE for K-Rock.
