American Tour Opening For The J. Geils Band
Jon Butcher Axis was invited to tour with Boston's already world famous J. Geils Band through Peter Wolf, for their 1982 Freeze Frame American tour, culminating in three sold out night shows at the Boston Garden. It was the experience of performing in the Freeze Frame tour that led to Jon Butcher Axis first international record deal with PolyGram Records. This began a recording and touring career which saw the release of Jon Butcher Axis' Stare at the Sun. Further enforcing the reference to Jimi Hendrix, Axis album Bold as Love had cover art depicting Hendrix in front of a blazing sun. Both of the PolyGram records were produced by Pat Moran, also producer for Robert Plant.
