FoundryMusic Review - "Rockin' the Joint"
By: Stevec
Four of Five Stars
Recorded in early 2002 at The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Rockin' The Joint captures Aerosmith at their best, which is live, in front of a more intimate audience than the arena crowds they're used to. This disc features 11 songs (track 1 is just a 22 second-long intro) from the band's Just Push Play tour, and the chemistry between the members of Aerosmith is ever-present. Tyler's voice is still holding up, especially during the breakdown in "Same Old Song and Dance" and "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" (yeah, I know it's the "Armageddon" theme, but it's still a good song).
Just when you think you're cant get anymore pissed at Aerosmith for playing the Superbowl with Britney Spears, and combining their legacy with flash-in-the-pan bubble-gum acts, they produce a collection like Rockin' The Joint, which proves they can still get back to basics and grind away at the blues-based roots that made them the legendary band they are.
