Aerosmith, Lenny Kravitz book more shows
Tour dates continue to pile up for Aerosmith and Lenny Kravitz , who kick off a joint tour later this month.
New to the itinerary--which still begins Oct. 30 with a two-night stand at Connecticut's Mohegan Sun Casino--are November stops in Providence, RI; Columbus, OH; Pittsburgh; and Albany, NY; as well as December stops in Cleveland; Minneapolis; Chicago; and Auburn Hills, MI. Details are shown below.
Aerosmith is hitting the road behind its forthcoming live set, "Rockin' the Joint," which captures the group's January 2002 performance at Las Vegas club The Joint, a 3,000-capacity venue located inside the Hard Rock Hotel. Scheduled to hit stores Oct. 25, the DualDisc-formatted release will include an audio side containing 11 tracks, and a DVD side featuring the entire album mixed in Enhanced PCM Stereo, as well as video footage of the band performing four songs during the Vegas gig.
Among the tracks on "Rockin' the Joint" is "Seasons of Wither," a cut that first appeared on 1974's "Get Your Wings," but has never turned up on an official live album until now.
"'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," guitarist Joe Perry said in a statement. "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."
"Rockin' the Joint" follows Aerosmith's most recent studio set, last year's "Honkin' on Bobo," an all-blues album.
Kravitz continues to back his 2004 release, "Baptism."
