October 14th

Fly with Aerosmith to Sacramento. We land in what looks like Iowa, real farm land nothing around for miles. Shoot Steven on the tarmac as we get off. Police escort to the show. Back stage are lots of Japanese fans, it's mind boggling how they get there...

Run into Dave and Elizabeth Davies, Dave used to be Bon Jovi's tour manager for his sins. He now runs a jet charter company. It's great to see him, he even gets me a take-away curry (how there can be one around here, is even more mind boggling).

Joe Perry asks me to shoot Kiss and Aerosmith together. Do a couple of rolls of Joe and Paul Stanley and then get quick shoot of the two bands together as Kiss go on.

By now it's freezing. We could be in Eastern Europe not Northern California, it's so cold. The lights don't even project on the stage which makes it really hard to shoot. Spend the most of the show in front of Joey Kramer's drum riser.

Straight off stage to the plane, fly back to L.A.

Chat with Steven who's in a fantastic mood.
