We did that run in Vegas, which was great. It was fun, but (we’re) kind of anxious to get back on the road.“
Joe added that the group, consisting of frontman Steven Tyler, bassist Tom Hamilton, drummer Joey Kramer and guitarist Brad Whitford had picked up more skills for their upcoming tour from the staging and production of their recent Las Vegas residency shows.
