Get ready to say goodbye to one of America's greatest rock bands. Aerosmith has started their farewell tour, celebrating 50 years of some of the best classic rock ever created.
Tyler and Perry sang from either side of a microphone stand draped in Tyler’s trademark scarves, recreating one of rock’s most iconic poses. Tyler nailed the extreme high note at the end of the song, proving that even at age 75 and after a life filled with pharmaceutical misadventures, he can still bring it.
But there’s only room for so many songs in a two-hour show, and with a catalog as deep as Aerosmith’s, some of the biggest hits got cut, including “Dude ” and “Train Kept A-Rollin’,” which often closed the show on previous tours. Saturday’s show was the 40th that Aerosmith has played in the City of Brotherly Love, and ended without anyone needing paramedics.
Perry even played a guitar that the wife of the late guitar legend Jeff Beck gave him — keeping Beck’s presence onstage for a bit longer — and “Rats In The Cellar,” a song about the filthy environs of drug use in New York in the 1970s, was as hard, fast and tight as it ever was. “Walk This Way” was a huge worldwide hit for more than a decade, before taking on added significance in 1986 whenteamed up with Aerosmith on a version of the song that is widely credited with helping break down the barriers that had separated fans of rock and rap.
