Rockin the Joint press release
DualDisc From America's Greatest Rock 'N' Roll Band Features the Live
Album Debut of Classic Album Cuts, Set List Staples and Recent Hits Including
'Seasons Of Wither,' 'Rattlesnake Shake,' 'Big Ten Inch Record,' 'I Don't Want
To Miss A Thing' and More
Rockin' The Joint (Live At The Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas) in Stores October 25
NEW YORK, Sept. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Aerosmith -- Steven Tyler, Joe Perry,
Brad Whitford, Tom Hamilton and Joey Kramer -- has rolled up a smoking set
list sure to get fans buzzing on Rockin' The Joint (Live At The Hard Rock
Hotel Las Vegas), a new live DualDisc release capturing America's Greatest
Rock 'n' Roll Band at its swaggering best. Recorded in January 2002 during an
intimate club date at The Joint in the Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel, Rockin' The
Joint showcases prime Aerosmith in rare performances of vintage album cuts and
recent rock tunes in front of 3,000 hardcore fans. Rockin' The Joint will be
in stores on Tuesday, October 25.
The audio-only side of Rockin' The Joint contains 11 tracks, including the
live album debut of the fan favorite "Seasons Of Wither" from 1974's Get Your
Wings, "No More No More," a seldom-played album track from 1975's Toys in the
Attic, and a cover of the Fleetwood Mac chestnut "Rattlesnake Shake," one of
the first songs the band ever played together and a staple of early tours.
Also included are the live debuts of "Beyond Beautiful" and "Light Inside"
from 2001's Just Push Play and "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing," the Rock 'n'
Roll Hall of Fame Inductees' first mega-hit that went to #1.
"'Seasons of Wither' is one of my all-time favorite Aerosmith songs, but
we never used to play it live in the old days," recalls Steven Tyler. "Over
the years, it's really become an Aerocult favorite and always gets a major
reaction on the rare occasion we drop it into the set list. It means a lot to
me to finally give fans a killer live version of this song."
"We went back to the beginning of the band's career for some of these
songs," says guitarist Joe Perry. "We had fun knocking the dust off them but
it was a little nerve-racking too, because we hadn't played some of the songs
in a while. I think we've only played 'No More No More' live a total of 20
times in our entire career. We were going on muscle memory for some of these,
which gave our performance an edge."
New live versions of songs available on previous live albums include "Same
Old Song And Dance" which first appeared on 1978's Live Bootleg, "Big Ten Inch
Record," last heard live on Aerosmith's 1991 career compilation Pandora's Box,
plus inspired new versions of "Train Kept A Rollin'" and "Walk This Way."
The DVD side of Rockin' The Joint boasts the entire album in Enhanced PCM
Stereo along with four explosive performances filmed at The Joint including
"No More No More" and "Draw the Line" plus the DVD-only tracks, "Dream On" and
"Sweet Emotion." The DVD also captures some behind-the-scenes footage shot
during the Vegas show and on the road during Aerosmith's triumphant Just Push
Play tour.
The band plans to return to the studio this spring to record the follow-up
to 2004's critically acclaimed and commercially successful blues album,
Honkin' On Bobo.
