| MGiM, The Joe Perry Project live? What was that like? Did they also do Aerosmith stuff? Besides Let the Music do the Talking, the project was a nightmare as I recall... |
I loved the Joe Perry Project! I bet I saw him five or six times.
Wait, I have to make it fit the thread. Here's a video of "I've Got the Rocks and Rolls Again."

OK, there we go.
First time I saw him he was on a bill with Def Leppard and Ozzy on the Blizzard of Ozz tour at the Nassau Coliseum. I think Joe played second, but I'm not positive.
There was a theater up in Glen Gove, I think, and he played there a number of times. Each time with a different lead singer.
The first album is strong, but I like the second better. It's got a very rough, garage band feel to it. Largely recorded live in a theater. One of my favorite albums, still. The last CD is pretty uneven.
Not sure if I told this story here ever. But I was the editor of the paper and interviewed Joe before the show. He signed my albums. Kind of answered my questions. Not entirely coherent. I'll look for the photo. It's funny, because you can tell that I was loving every second of it --but trying to look like a cool, calm, collected journalist -- and Joe was graciously tolerating me.
Anyway, I always through Nassau -- and Edgy's brother! -- did a great job getting acts to the college.
