From the time I arrived at the MGM, the place was filled with Magic. I don’t know if this is because I ran right into Mind Freak Criss Angel almost knocking him into a state of elevation, Or the fact that I was about to see two of my all time classic favorites in Motley Crue and Aerosmith. We entered the arena just as Motley Crue hit the stage - firebombs and explosions abound were quick to remind me that the Crue were here to warm things up, so to speak...
Aerosmith - from the time Steven Tyler hit that first high note I was in total awe. He didn’t miss a note all night and was better than I ever imagined. The stage was huge with a 70’ runaway, which I was fortunate enough to be only 20 feet from. Joe Perry is a passionate guitar player with incredible blues-rock solos.
The added bonus was the entire show was filmed for a NASCAR special, which will air in February. The stage looked like a NASCAR garage area with racecars, tires and flags. They even did Back in the Saddle again, again - that is not a typo - they performed it twice with a new set of lyrics just for NASCAR.
It's easy to see why this band has kept its star power for 30 plus years. The sound was incredible, the energy was incredible, the show was incredible, this band is incredible!!!
