I saw them in 1974 and again in 1978 at Veterans Memorial in Columbus, Ohio. It was a great show. Too bad, Vet's is gone. Used to have the Ohio Gun Collectors shows there too. I quit OGCA when you had to start driving to Cleveland or Cincinnati for the shows.
Never was into much music after about 1976... got distracted by life.... but I do remember Tyler as Charlie's neighbor on Two and a Half Men.

Let's face it, MOST of the bands & singers from the 60s & 70s need to retire.Very few are the original members and if they are they just don't sound very good.

Never cared for them.
The group formed in 1970. That's way back there. I’m pretty a broke down old dude and I was 13 when they started up.
I never cared for them either.

Meanwhile the Rolling Stones . . . . . . . . .
the amazing thing is how many of these rockers have actually managed to live this long.. the Stones are the premier example.... I have to say they must be some more tough dudes to have lived through all the drugs and such they did. Then again a lot of them didn't.
To answer Johnnu2.... this is Steve Tyler... he was just the lead singer of the group and spent 50 years screaming at the top of his lungs until he broke his vocal cords and it seems they can't be repaired. I'm sure there are others here who can answer much better... my only experience was him in two episodes of Two and a Half Men where he lived next door to Charlie Sheen and would 'practice' his singing at night... which was him doing this high pitched screeching....

Man....I wore out my "Toys In The Attic" 8 track tape.......played it constantly. It was already worn out by the time I got my DL....buddy had a K10 with a 8 track deck. Most everyone had switched to cassette decks by then but I still had all my 8 tracks, so my collection was brought back to life in that truck .....sadly, that tape gave up the ghost while cruising a back road on the way to a field keg party one night with, of course, Sweet Emotion blaring out the windows...epic beginning to that song played loud on that road. It was our thing....they knew we were on the way and almost there....which was important because we usually had the keg in our truck......
THANKS BLUME.......
I googled him and now recognize him from some guest appearances on TV....skinny dude

I thought they did 15 years ago.
I remember being at a Journey concert years back. I looked around and was amazed by all the old people. Then I remembered- I'm one of them! I first saw Journey in Anaheim in around 1979…good times.
Journey lead singer was Steve Perry.....this thread is about Aerosmith, lead singer is Steven Tyler.
I saw Journey a couple times as well, but in the early 80s.
Just commenting on how the bands age, the audience ages…
I saw them live once in the 80 in Oakland California great concert lots of energy. They will be miss
It's interesting to watch bands and singers age. Often there is that sweet spot where they are old enough to take advantage of everything they have learned through the years, but they haven't started to lose their voice yet. And then all of a sudden it goes South. It was torture to hear Johnny Cash later in years. Paul Simon hung in for a long time but.
So has mick jagger they say he put on a hella a show in San Francisco last month

My son got to see the Rolling Stones in concert in Ames, IA. He said that was the most fun he had ever had. Ol Dad refused to spot him the money to go see the Grateful Dead in Colorado. I regret that.

I've been listening to Aerosmith for as long as I can remember. Growing up in New England in the '70s they were our band, like ZZ Top is to Texas. I've seen them many times, the first time was in Portland, Maine in '78 or '79. I threw up all over the back seat of my buddy's station wagon and almost missed the show, scalped a ticket in the parking lot for $8 I think. Steven Tyler passed out on stage on like the third song, lights came on, show over... Good times o_O
A lot of people know them for their later stuff, but if you're a rock music guy you need to go back to the first 5 albums... Aerosmith, Get Your Wings, Toys In The Attic, Rocks, and Draw The Line. If they had only recorded those 5 records they would probably be revered like Led Zeppelin. The fact they are all still alive is amazing in itself.

Never saw them back in the day mainly because I heard so many horror stories of Tyler being a mess on stage and didn't want to sit through a crap show. Jump ahead some decades and about ten years ago we were in Maui and got tickets for show at Maui Arts Center with Mick Fleetwood and his band. Later in the show Tyler came on stage and did some numbers with the band and sounded pretty good although he did forget words on some of them. It was pretty good anyway. The star of the show was a surprise guest and Christine MvVie came on and got behind the piano and did some of her hits. Great show. Glad I got to see Tyler and especially McVie(RIP).
