Saw them at the AO Arena Manchester on Saturday. Could Alice still sing ?, Was Johnny Depp in there as a gimmick ? Could Joe Perry still play ? Yes, No, & Yes. Alice's voice at 75 was spot on, its been 41 years since i saw him at the Manchester Apollo. He still walked the stage and soaked up the applause as he did in '82. Have to say Mr Depp can sing and was good in the rhythm, with the odd lead break. Mr Perry was excellent, never seen him live before. Great covers of AC/DC, Doors, The Who and Pink Floyd songs. Only odd choice for me was the selection of Eighteen, Alice has better songs in his back catalogue. What started as an idea of a pub band has turned into this, a great night out in an Arena and it was loud ! Go and see them if you get the chance.

I knew Johnny Depp could play a little. I saw a video of him once joining Aerosmith on stage. Joe Perry and Alice are pretty much legends of course. I did wonder if this would work and it seems it does. Nice one

I don't know this band. Glad you found Mr Depp to be good. I thought he was terrible at Jeff Beck's gig last year. But the young fans lapped him up.
