As a fan of live music since birth, I have gone to hundreds of concerts, seen just about everybody who I’ve wanted to see that wasn’t dead already. With the exception of Led Zeppelin, the only band that I can think of that I love and have never seen, has been, up until this past Friday, Aerosmith.
My first attempt at seeing them was sometime in the mid-seventies and the reason for not going was because (and this ought to date me) either I or the ticket-bearer was grounded by parents for doing something like getting caught smoking, or skipping school. Shows you how long these guys have been rocking. And ROCK they still do, as well as just about anyone out there.
Aerosmith has been referred to by some as the American version of the Rolling Stones, but, you know what? They still have the original lineup intact, and that’s something the Stones haven’t had since the late 1960’s. I’ll spare you the comparisons, they have been written about many times before. What I witnessed at this show was a timeless but complete soundtrack for the last 3/4ths of my life....
