Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh just played Desperado for a rain-soaked crowd of 300 at a historic Māori fort in New Zealand

Joe Walsh onstage at Ōtātara Pā.

The Eagles' most recent show was at the 17,500-capacity Spectrum Center in Charlotte, NC, last month, but guitarist Joe Walsh was on stage again at the weekend, for a much more intimate event.

Walsh joined a group of music students onstage on Saturday at Ōtātara Pā, a historic Māori hillfort on the bands of the Tūtaekuri River in Hawkes Bay, New Zealand, where he performed for a rain-soaked crowd of around 300 locals. It's a place that's close to Walsh's heart, as it was this spot where he had an "epiphany" that led him to give up drink and drugs, while on tour with NZ reggae band Herbs in 1989.
