The most famous rock star Montclair ever has produced, Joe Walsh, will return to the town for a homecoming benefit concert Oct. 3, in the Montclair High School auditorium. Walsh graduated from the school in 1965.

Proceeds from the concert will go towards library renovation at the school, and the creation of a media center.

According to the web site of the Montclair Fund for Educational Excellence, tickets will go on sale Sept. 1.

Walsh will also meet with students in an assembly on Oct. 2, according to the web site.

Walsh became famous as a member of the James Gang and as a solo artist before joining The Eagles in 1975.

Tickets to the Beacon show go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster.

Awesomesauce! I had been hoping for the Wellmont, but this is even more personal! I’ve got a gig in Collingswood that day, but may have to make sure I get to MHS that night!

Guess, Walk away was the first of Joe Walsh for Lee. Vietnam left me stone cold, Alcohol , and other substances , were claiming me. But we kept following Joe , Live , county fairs.. you’ll pardon the pun.. Every album and band he pulled together.. Guess you could say, the ( Fidler ) saved his fan base, and unknowingly led us to higher ground… Speaking for Or gang… We’ve been clean & Sober for along time now, Service to others, without strings or obligation, Is how we live Today… Between Clapton, Walsh, Etc. Music has and Is saving people everyday…. We could go on, But we’ve got about 4534 of us Rock Grace wanna be’s.. Living very well because thanks to Mr. Walsh..
