Press Release, December 1, 2005 AEROSMITH AND LENNY KRAVITZ, “ROCKIN THE JOINT” ANNOUNCE DATES FOR 2006!

Armed with a devastating set list that powerfully illuminates their full body of work, AEROSMITH recently launched their “Rockin' The Joint” tour, turning arenas into a dynamic playground night after night with a “…stage set that jutted like a long pair of arms into the arena floor and ramped sideways onto platforms that gave the band intimate face time with fans in first-level seats” (Washington Times, 11/7/05).

Now comes word that AEROSMITH’s fall tour with special guest Lenny Kravitz will continue into ’06. A new leg kicks off January 5 in Orlando , FL before taking the artists through the southeast and onto the west.  Fans in such cities as Los Angeles , Las Vegas , Miami , Dallas and Atlanta can expect an unforgettable evening of rock & roll with full sets from the Boston rockers–STEVEN TYLER, JOE PERRY, BRAD WHITFORD, TOM HAMILTON and JOEY KRAMER–and Kravitz.

The success and dynamics of AEROSMITH and Lenny Kravitz together are making the first leg of this tour a stunning experience with packed houses including a show in Boston in front of a “throng of 17,000 fans at the TD Banknorth Garden on Saturday,” observed Steve Morse of the Boston Globe (11/14/05).  He added, “Yes, this was a wet, wild, and totally sweat-filled night, as Tyler took charge with his shredding, scream-laced vocals and characteristic bad-boy charm. ‘Home [bleeping] sweet home!’ he yelled…Perry added a jugular-grabbing version of ''Shakin' My Cage" (from his self-titled solo CD this year), and this acid-blues bite carried over to ‘Baby, Please Don't Go…’”

On the current tour, America’s Greatest Rock & Roll Band are performing a volcanic mix of greatest hits–“Walk This Way,” “Angel,” “Dream On,” “Dude (Looks Like a Lady),” “Sweet Emotion,” “Janie's Got a Gun” and “Love In An Elevator”–with other gems such as “Seasons of Wither” and “No More No More,” plus some covers including the Beatles’ “Helter Skelter.”  The set list includes material heard on AEROSMITH’s current Columbia DualDisc release Rockin' The Joint (Live At The Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas ).  Recorded in January 2002 at an intimate club date at The Joint in the Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel, it contains 11 tracks that are by turns menacing, sexy, mysterious and downright infectious.  They’re emblematic of the quality that has always marked the music of AEROSMITH, who’ve sold over 100 million albums, earned countless awards (Grammys, American Music Awards, Billboard Awards, MTV Awards), and established a diehard fan-base numbering in the millions worldwide.

Four-time Grammy award winner Lenny Kravitz’s high-octane set is nothing short of extraordinary with the artist playing hit after hit from his expansive 15-year career, including his definitive classics "Fly Away," "Are You Gonna Go My Way, “Always on the Run,” "Dig In, Again,” “Where Are We Runnin’” plus many, many more. Featuring his trademark combination of funk and rock n roll, Kravitz is backed by his 8-piece band, ensuring that these one-time only shows are not to be missed.
