denny History & Criticism

An interview with Steven Tyler of Aerosmith and Lisa Robinson after the August 1, 1982 release of the Rock In A Hard Place album, and before the RIAHP tour began on November 7, 1982 in Bethlehem, PA. (I think this may be Oct. '82). Lisa had done interviews with Aerosmith for magazines since around the mid-70s. Aerosmith at this point was Steven, Tom Hamilton, Joey Kramer, Jimmy Crespo (lead guitar), and Rick Dufay (guitar). They toured from '82 throughout '83 into February '84 with a few breaks in between. Then Joe Perry and Brad Whitford rejoined to begin the Back In The Saddle Tour on June 22, 1984. Photos watermarked by photographer Ross Halfin can be seen in his Aerosmith gallery here. We are indebted to Ross for his '83/'83 quality photos of which there are relatively few at this time. Please visit his extensive gallery: www.rosshalfin.com Guest interviewee at 37:31.
