The first concerts out of the box on the new Aerosmith / Lenny Kravitz tour will be right here, at Mohegan Sun Arena.

It all begins Sunday, followed by a second show on Tuesday (perhaps Steven Tyler and Joe Perry are taking Halloween night off to go trick-or-treating).

For all the fans who have ended up with almost-in-a-different-time-zone seats and have spent more time looking at the Jumbotron screen images of the musicians rather than of the real, barely-visible-in-the-distance figures themselves, Aerosmith has something for you. The band has ramps running from the stage into the center of the auditorium so that, no matter where you are, you can see — up close — Steven Tyler whipping around his scarf and Joe Perry cranking on his guitar.

The Boston band is touring in support of its live CD “Rockin' the Joint,” which was released this week. Kravitz makes for an amazing opening act, and the king of retro rock will be backed by a 10-piece band.

The Aerosmith and Lenny Kravitz concerts start at 7 p.m. Sunday and Tuesday at Mohegan Sun Arena. Tickets are $97.50, $127.50 and $150. Visit ticketmaster.com or mohegansun.com
