Over 800 items from his personal collection will be up for auction in December
Joe Walsh teams with Julien’s Auctions for the Life’s Been Good collection, featuring an extraordinary array of unique guitars, cars, amps, ham radios, stage wardrobe, and historic rock and roll ephemera.
In advance of the upcoming auction, Life’s Been Good: Joe Walsh Auction, set for December 16-17 in Los Angeles, Julien’s announces two exclusive limited-edition box sets celebrating the guitar legend’s career and the collection being offered. Each box set includes a collectible card that plays Walsh’s iconic hit “Life’s Been Good” when opened, creating a unique, interactive keepsake for fans and collectors:
The multi-volume Limited Edition Numbered Box Set showcases every item in the auction through stunning photography and includes a unique numbered one-of-one metal card on the cover, individually numbered from a run of 200. The book itself is hand-signed by Walsh and includes a surprise gift personally designed by Walsh, and is offered at $600.
Also available is the Limited Edition Print Box Set, which includes the two-volume signed book and is offered at $400.
A portion of the proceeds from the Limited Edition Box Set will be donated to VetsAid, a non-profit 501(c)(3) charity which, since 2017, has directly supported a variety of national and regional veterans-based charities. Now in its ninth year, the annual VetsAid music event will take place in Joe’s birthplace, Wichita Kansas on November 15th. As always Walsh will perform with a star-studded lineup including Vince Gill, Nathaniel Rateliff, Susan Tedeschi & Derek Trucks and Ryan Bingham and the Texas Gentlemen.
“Wow! Look at all this cool stuff I’ve collected over the years, and it seems to me like it was about time to share it!” Walsh reflects with a laugh. “Some of these items really meant a lot to me, and this is a great way to raise money for VetsAid and to give back to my fans. This auction, and this accompanying Limited Edition Box Set, highlight the pieces, and some of the stories, that have been with me on this wild ride for the last 50 years — and I’m excited to see them all find new homes.”
This landmark sale from a true titan of rock promises to electrify music fans and collectors around the globe.
