"Joan Jett doesn't play rock & roll," I wrote about two years ago about the iconic chainsaw rocker. "She is rock & roll." This has been true since the Runaways' 1976 debut. Few match Jett & the Blackhearts for consistently delivering pure, unadulterated 4/4 raunch live, chock-full of hits like "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" and "Bad Reputation" that cut across all parameters. Opening is San Antonio's Fea, neo-riot grrrl signees to Jett's Blackheart Records who rock hard enough to destroy the patriarchy with one power chord.
