The Pulse has a interview with Joe Perry where he talks a little bit about gigging in Worcester. I could read this kind of stuff all day.
[i]"Well, it was pretty much like it was in a lot of the smaller towns that we played back then. I would liken it to the Detroit area or Ohio. Worcester was a lot more like those cities than say Boston or Chicago. Those cities were pretty much the same back in those days. They had more character as individual cities. Nowadays with Starbucks and such, everything is the same, all these chains are all the same, it

Re: Joe Perry on Worcester
Aerosmith has a lot of Worcester connection. Joe Cohen, an active Worcester native, is bassist Tom Hamilton's father in law, which is how I got to meet him a couple of times. I stayed in a house at The Cape once, owned by Joe Cohen, and the house was littered with candids of the band hanging out at the house. At the time, I was a huge fan.
Funny story: Back in the early '80s when I was in high school, my friend was bumper riding home on his skateboard (grabbing a car's bumper and crouching down for a free ride). After going a ways, he decided to sneak a look at his host. When he looked, he saw that it was Aerosmith, heading up Salisbury Street, probably toward the Cohen's.
