They were great in '89, only time I ever saw them.

I think ACDC going on right before them was a bad idea. Made them look like sleepy fossils compared to the pure TNT.

Can confirm, parents went mental when I called them boomers⌠
3 brilliant albums and one very good one since then.
Rating BB but not LIB, SF or EOMS is just weird. SG is also very good.

Reminds me of when I saw Aerosmith idk, ten or so years ago on the A-Z tour. ZZ Top opened for them and killed it. Aerosmith played thirty minutes with Steven Tyler hobbling around (heâd fallen off the stage one or two shows earlier LOL). Then they sat down to play some blues standards before Steve said nah man, this hurts, letâs gtfo.
Tickets were worth it to see ZZ Top though 
Edit:
Hereâs the video of him falling off the stage in South Dakota

I saw Aerosmith in '86 in some shitty outdoors hellhole stadium in Lynn, MA. Was like 100 degrees out and 5 or 6 people got stabbed lolz.
Saw the Black Crowes open for ZZ Top and thought the Crowes were better. But ZZ Top was good. I just got bored with the constant stream of 5 minute guitar solos that all sounded the same to me.
NO WAY!!! That must have been a great show if for no other reason than to celebrate the return of Joe Perry and Brad Whitford. I canât even believe they tried to be a band without Joe. Or that Joe tried to be Joe without Aerosmith 
Was this before or after Permanent Vacation? Thatâs a sick comeback album, though of course they didnât find peak revival success until Get a Grip.
Iâve read a couple of their biographies to get a better sense of what big degens they are. Itâs a miracle they survived the 60s. And the 70s. And the 80s. And the 90s. LOL.
Thatâs totally fair.
It was the Done With Mirrors tour. It was Sept '85 as I just looked it up, so before Permanent Vacation.

When I was searching for the date, I found a write up about the show:
"When Aerosmith hit the stage fights were breaking out everywhere, blood was everywhere, bottles getting smashed over peoples heads and thrown at the stage as the crowd surged forward. Tyler was attempting to maintain an unsuccessful balance of putting out fires and setting them. People were yelling obscenities at him and a lot of people were really getting hurt so the next thing Steven says, and I paraphrase but this was the gist: Tyler to group of people fighting â âYou wanna fight Muther FârâŚ.you wanna F with me! F with thisâŚMy fist your face!â and they roared into their new track âMy fist your face!â
Provocative to say the least and of course the fights and surge got worse. Hamilton, Whitford, and Kramer looked disturbed while after trying several times, stops and starts, Steven just gave up and went for broke. The concert had to end due to the chaos but for the time when they were playingâŚit felt as if time had stopped and it would never end."
I have no recollection of the show getting stopped early. But I do know 5 or 6 people got stabbed and there was massive rioting in the stadium.

I saw them in their 1981 farewell tour in Seattle. First concert ever. My friends all went nuts when I made the big screen while taking a bong hit.

Thatâs a riot. '81 farewell tour and they were still playing almost 40 years later. (And maybe they still are. I know my sister saw them a year or two ago.) I donât think I would bother now but damn they were good back in the day of their first, second, and third farewell tours 3 decades ago!
