Aerosmith with Perry Eaton

Tonight's Musical Guest, Today

The podcast bad boys from Boston are talking about THE Bad Boys from Boston. It's AEROSMITH week!
Joining the show with discussion questions in hand is the lead singer and guitarist of another great Boston band Beeef, Perry Eaton! Perry and the guys break down the many eras of Aerosmith and try to make sense of their complicated and epic legacy. The band's first TV performance in 1974 on The Midnight Special is all leather pants and rock god vibes. 13 years later, Steven Tyler and Joe Perry do Walk This Way with Run-DMC on the VMAs. Back to back 90s SNL performances capture the apex of Aerosmith, including an iconic Wayne's World sketch. And we return to the Super Bowl, with a halftime show that surrounds Aerosmith with the 2001 zeitgeist.
