AEROSMITH Melbourne, Australia 4-5-13

Saw Aerosmith last night.
They were great.They played for about 100 minutes.Tyler still has it, for someone who is 65 he works the stage very well. Tom Hamiltion was not there due to health reasons.They had bassist from Joe Perry’s band.
Steve and Joe work the crowd very well.. Joey on drums very solid..Brad on othere guitar good but hardly moves.
Saw them last time they were here on the Pump Tour 23 years ago..That’s the only 2 times they have Toured here.

A few people from the Stone Fest gig gave Aero great reviews and bashed VH a bit so here’s a few things I picked up last night.
While Steven sings great the keyboard player sings a lot more than back up vocals while Steven is singing.
They had 2 teleprompters on stage..(May be Roth needs one for the songs he cant remember).
They have 6 guys on stage and even had 7 at one stage when Joey’s son played bongo drums.
Sounds was great quiet loud but good.I large video screen as back drop..Not as clear as the VH one.
Been a lot of bands through here lately and with paying $200 a ticket last night its a bit hard on the wallet.
All in all a great show..And with the guys in Aerosmith about 5 years older than VH think we’ll get another Tour in not more from VH…
