I might not listen to Aerosmith with the same frequency as I did when I was growing up - as a proud member of the Aero Force One Fan Club - but they remain one of my very favorite bands — with a catalog of music I love.
The band has announced a farewell tour to close the curtain on a wild, successful and amazing 50 year career. I was fortunate to see them twice back in the 80s, and perhaps I’ll swing by for one of the farewell shows.
The Black Crowes are set to open the shows, so that’s about as good a double-bill of good time boogie-woogie rock n’ roll you can get.
“It’s not goodbye it’s PEACE OUT!,” Aerosmith said in a joint statement. “Get ready and walk this way, you’re going to get the best show of our lives.”
And with that, I had to drum up a few of my Aerosmith faves to celebrate a truly great rock n’ roll band.
