The 70’s were a wild ride for Aerosmith and it ended at some point with the band’s break up and guitarist Joe Perry starting a new solo venture apart from the iconic hard rock band from Boston. The first Joe Perry Project album was pretty good; in fact good enough that later on Aerosmith recorded “ Let the Music Do the Talking”. Joe Perry exudes lead guitar swagger and chops and the new project was kicking ass at My Father’s Place in Roslyn. Perry’s new frontman could sing but he was no Steven Tyler. It’s funny how some have the chops but not the persona; like a Myles Kennedy from Slash’s band when away from Gun ‘N’ Roses, the Joe Perry Project front man just made you appreciate Steven Tyler more. Years later I read somewhere that this My Father’s Place gig was the last concert that the Joe Perry Project ever played together. It was a good Saturday night of hard rock and roll to be sure at the intimate setting called My Father’s Place.

Check out YouTube when Steven Tyler joins the band this night to play “Walk This Way”.
