New Live Album, "In Real Time," Set for February 2010 Release

NASHVILLE, TN – John Waite will bring his trademark dynamic live performances back to Europe for a 14-city sweep in February and March, 2010. Beginning in Vienna, Austria on Feb. 17, 2010, the tour will include stops in Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, England and Portugal.

In Real Time, an electrifying new live CD recorded on tour last year with Waite’s super-charged three-piece band, will be released in conjunction with the 2010 European tour and will be available for sale at each performance and on iTunes. Classic hits like “Change,” “Missing You,” The Babys’ “Back On My Feet Again,” Bad English’s “Best Of What I’ve Got” and “When I See You Smile” and even a blistering cover of Led Zeppelin’s “Rock and Roll” take on entirely new lives in their raw forms on the spontaneously delicious "In Real Time."

“It’s a lot of the hits played how we play them live,” Waite says of In Real Time. “It’s like late 60’s rock in London when it was performance driven, prior to becoming commercialized – back in the days when everybody got in a transient van, sat on the amps and drove for hours to the next gig. When I set out to do this record, I wanted to simplify it down to what I remember rock and roll being as a kid – a three-piece band with a singer – so it’s very raw and right on the edge.”

Fans attending Waite’s shows in Europe can expect the same kind of unrefined live energy that In Real Time delivers.

Waite is currently collaborating with Matchbox 20 lead guitarist/songwriter Kyle Cook, as the two ready fresh new music for Waite’s highly anticipated forthcoming solo EP, which is also set for a 2010 release.

It seems "limbo land" is he or isn't he anymore Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler was spotted at a Home Depot store in Rancho Mirage, California this past weekend, where he treated shoppers to another impromptu vocal performance.


Tyler, who was out and about on Saturday, randomly picked up a store microphone and belted out two of Aerosmith’s biggest hits – Dude (Looks Like A Lady) and I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing – over the sound system for the DIY’ers to enjoy.

The story has been spread all over the web basicallybut read more here:
