I'm a die-hard Aerofan, but didn't buy tix for this one for financial reasons. I've seen both groups, many times, and just couldn't justify the ticket prices this tour, but...
my sister called me yesterday to tell me that her friend had 2 tickets and didn't want to go because of the possibility of storms; i could have the tix-no charge-if i could use them! what???? of course i could, just as soon as i finished some stuff at work, picked up the kids, put gas in the truck, stopped at home to let the dogs out, and shaved my legs just in case i ran into steven!
took 14 yr old dd, who's been to see aerosmith, but not kiss. we missed the opening act, saliva, due to traffic, but saw every bit of kiss/aerosmith! kiss had a lot of guitar & drum solos, pyrotechnics, etc, just didn't seem to have the tightness that they should have. lots of talking on stage, distractions, etc. still good though, i mean, it's kiss. aerosmith rocked non-stop, as always! they played 3 songs from their new album, coming in feb, and they were very much 'blues'! loved it all and can't wait til feb!
steven tyler was in excellent shape, of course, and i tried to convince the kids (by then had picked up 4 yr old ds from sisters and it was 2am, eeek) that we should hang around the hotel that they always stay in when they're here, but they weren't too interested. sometimes, they just don't get it!
so, a night well spent, and we're back to another day of school, work, laundry, etc. btw, no storms, or even rain last night! for those that are considering catching this show, go for it!

I'd love to see Aerosmith perform.
