Aerosmith - Joanie's butterfly (Instrumental version)

Instrumental demo from one of the "rock in a hard place" recording sessions.

This is how it was supposed to be and I prefer the instrumental version more than the album released track with Tylers psychadelic lyrics.

Composed by Jimmy Crespo, ex-guitarist of Aerosmith.

With various photos, mostly from the 70's, not in any specific order.

Some of the early shots are taken by the great photographer - Robert Agriopoulos

Cool pics but how about some of guitarist who wrote this, Jimmy Crespo? I love Rock in a Hard Place! Better than anythong Aerosmith has put out int he last 10 years...

[Aerorobbs]

I didn't have any, neither Crespo or Dufay pics with great quality! It's that simple..

Tyler wrote the lyrics, I know for a fact Jimmy Crespo wrote this music.

@IPlayHardNA30 Oh, about knowing stuff...I just work Google, read, and try to put it all together before commenting. Not always right, but I cross-reference a lot. It's pretty easy to do online... would have never known it in the past, such as in the 80s with no Internet. Heck, finding lyrics in the past was hard if they weren't in the record. Now I can learn so much in a short time. (;

@IPlayHardNA30 Don't need Honolulu b/c SueEllen has it all nive together in a playlist. Syracuse and San Antonio, yes! Thanks. She also uploaded Yarmouth, MA in 1883 and Ventura, CA in '83. Take a look at those, I comment on all of them. ((:

@Grendelmonster8u We sure know our stuff dont we?

I've been busy looking for the rest of them bootlegs and i've found some of them, want me to put them up? (Got Syracuse, San Antonio and honolulu)

@IPlayHardNA30 Like I said to the other person, Jack Douglas is also credited on this song and the song RIAHP. "Lightning Strikes" is credited only to Richard Supa and the single went #21 on Billboard, better than Back In The Saddle & Same Old Song & Dance, Draw The Line singles when those came out.

This is a pretty song, I agree with you.

@6980farahat12 Producer Jack Douglas is also credited on this song and the song Rock In A Hard Place (Cheshire Cat).

@Grendelmonster8u ...ctnd. But people go back & buy those early albums, so Get Your Wings eventually went Platinum, but new fans didn't buy RIAHP & Done With Mirrors...they've never gone Platinum. Night In The Ruts took 14 yrs to be certified by the RIAA as Platinum. Gold means "high sales." Aerosmith's 1st album took 11 yrs to be Gold. It's just that it didn't EVENTUALLY sell as well as those old albums w/ new fans buying them. So not a huge failure by no means. (:

@melovesteventyler A little research of when AS's singles & albums were Certified Gold would show you it wasn't "such a commercial failure" at the outset. Lightning Strikes as a single did as well as Sweet Emotion, and better than Back In The Saddle, Draw The Line & Last Child, for e.g. when it came out. RIAHP did better than the Get Your Wings album when it came out; that album took 11 yrs to be Gold, RIAHP took 7 yrs. ctnd...

Tyler & Crespo Lyrics, Jimmy Crespo (aka God) wrote the amazing music for this.

the whole album is blinding from start to finish, this is their best album to date..
