Aerosmith Plan 50th Anniversary Show

Aerosmith will play a special 50th anniversary show at Fenway Park in Boston on September 18. This seemed like something I couldn't miss, so I got tickets during the presale yesterday. My hotel is reserved and flights booked. I'm ready to go. The general on sale is Friday. If you want to attend, I would buy tickets then because this show will sell out pretty fast. Hometown crowd and all that.

Dokken Announces Tour... With George Lynch

Dokken is going to tour this spring and summer... with George Lynch. The shows are being billed as Dokken with an encore performance by Lynch so I guess it won't actually be "classic" Dokken. Or maybe it will be, who knows. It is possible I am misunderstanding the Facebook announcement. At any rate, here are the announced dates so far and I would expect a few more. 

Mar. 06 - Biloxi, KS @ Hard Rock Live 
Mar. 07 - El Paso, TX @ Speaking Rock Entertainment Center 
Mar. 08 - Midland, TX @ Wagner Noel Performing Arts Center 
Mar. 28 - St. Charles, IL @ Arcada Theatre 
Apr. 25 - Mesa, AZ @ Mesa Amphitheater 
May 30 - Las Vegas, NV @ Fremont Street 
Jun. 06 - Sunbury, PA @ "Live United Live" Spyglass Ridge Winery 
Jun. 07 - St, Louis, MO @ Hollywood, Casino Amphitheater
Aug. 21-22 - West Hollywood, CA @ Whisky A Go Go 
Sep. 19 - San Antonio, TX @ Rock Fest (Sunken Garden Theater)

Tool Wins Grammy Award

Tool just won a Grammy in the category of Best Metal Performance for "7empest." The song is from the album Fear Inoculum.


I wanted to share the video of the Aerosmith/Run D.M.C. performance last night but every clip on YouTube has been removed for copyright reasons. Aerosmith did "Livin' On the Edge" before "Walk This Way" and it was just chaotic fun.

Groupon Concert Tickets

Who here is taking advantage of the crazy $20 Groupon concert deals for the upcoming summer concert series? There is a lot to choose from right now including Steely Dan, Nickelback, Doobie Brothers, Foreigner, Vince Neil and more. I generally hate lawn seats but the price of concerts is insane so this is a good alternative for shows where I don't "need" to be close. I've never done a Groupon concert ticket before, but I went ahead and grabbed Nickelback and I think I will get Steely Dan this way too.

Just go to Groupon, type in your city and wait for a list of shows to appear. I'm sure there is some discount for you to enjoy. #SheCheap

Aerosmith Accepts MusiCares Award

Drummer Joey Kramer was in attendance with the rest of Aerosmith as the band accepted their MusiCares Person of the Year award during Grammy week. Nuno Bettencourt shared some of the photos on his Facebook page. He also wrote a post defending Joey. Kramer is not expected to perform with the rest of Aerosmith tomorrow night during the live Grammy telecast.

Aerosmith played during the MusiCares awards too, without Kramer. Interestingly, Alice Cooper and Johnny Depp got to join them on stage for some songs.

Nikki Sixx Takes On Opioid Abuse 

Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue is taking on opioid abuse. That's good because the U.S. government sure is failing. Maybe musicians can save us after all. If you read the comments on Nikki's Facebook post, you will find a lot of people sharing their personal stories. This is a crisis, especially in places like my hometown and other small midwestern towns.
