"Joe Perry: There are very few art forms where you get to travel from city to city and the performer gets to respond with the audience. I mean everything is so like internet and TV, you know, if it's on TV everybody is seeing it across the country. And you have sports, but that's not so much communication. I mean you get to see a game and like last night you see a team from San Jose play but you don't really get a sense of them being from San Jose, all they are is just another team. But with rock and roll you're actually interacting with people from another part of the world. And in that sense we're just like troubadours from 300 years ago who used to bring news from city to city and created a kind of oneness. So when the troubadour comes to town you get to listen to what he had to say and you knew he was telling the same story last night in another town and he was going to another town from there and carry the news. So this live rock and roll that we do is really kind of a timeless thing in that sense. And part of that is getting to know the city you're in and getting a little bit of a vibe of what's going on in the city and that fact that you get turned on to it hair thing and now he's carrying that with him. I bought a guitar in Edmonton at one of the guitar stores there and now that's part of the show and I'm going to he playing there tonight. So we're constantly travelling through, gathering little bits of culture, and vibe, and good will, and sometimes bad will. And just kind of getting a sense of bringing the world from place to place in a very visceral, personal way, that you just don't really get in any other kind of art.
