In the early 80's Aerosmith burned out, sloppiest live show I've ever seen. It was suspected that Steve Tyler would die from nose candy indued cardiac arrest. Instead they took a much needed time out, Joe Perry quit drinking and Tyler turned to gentler drugs.
Joe Kraemer doesn't get enough respect for his drumming, he sets up the spectacular opening to Permanent Vacation perfectly. Right from the opening whale songs I knew this was going to be monster.
