AEROSMITH IN CONCERT: DON'T MISS YOUR CHANCE TO SEE AEROSMITH ON TOUR
For over three decades, Aerosmith have been one of rock's most revered and wildly popular bands, crafting timeless songs full of raw guitars and fiercely energetic vocals. The band first reached stardom in the '70s with a string of chart-topping songs, including "Dream On, "Sweet Emotion" and "Walk This Way." During this period, Aerosmith's music defied easy categorization, falling somewhere between bluesy hard rock and early-era punk (with occasional ballads here and there). In 1986, Aerosmith came back in a big way, appearing on Run D.M.C.'s cover of "Walk This Way," a creative fusion of hip hop and rock that has undoubtedly inspired countless rap-metal acts. Hits from Aerosmith's own albums during the '80s include "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)," "Angel," "Rag Doll," "Love in an Elevator" and "Janie's Got a Gun." Entering the '90s, Aerosmith's popularity only grew as they released hit singles such as "Amazing," "Livin' on the Edge" and "Cryin'." In 1998, Aerosmith contributed four tracks to the film Armageddon—starring singer Steven Tyler's daughter Liv Tyler—including the chart topper "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing." 2001 saw the release of Just Push Play, featuring the track "Jaded," and, in 2004, the band issued the blues-fueled album Honkin' on Bobo.

I love Aerosmith. This was my 3rd time seeing them. I realize Tyler was hurt and so were some of the others, but it would have been better to postpone until everyone was back in full form. Instead, they cut the show short and played for only an hour. And the venue and promoter still got their money and we got a subpar performance. Bravo. At least I bought lawn seats and wasn't one of those unfortunate people who paid hundreds of dollars for an hour long concert.
Steven Tyler was obviously recovering from an injury and wasn't at his usually incredible best. The set seemed short, probably as a result of the injuries and swapping out members. It was good, just not up to Aerosmith's high concert standards.
Played barely an hour. didn't play anything close to the best of the archives. No Sweet Emotion? Would love to have stayed at home with my money instead.
Incredible show, Aerosmith is dynamic and fabulous as ever. ZZ Top was pure rock history on stage. Loved, loved, loved it.
