| 30-plus years later, Aerosmith is still flying high By SHAWN TELFORD SPECIAL TO THE P-I Aerosmith became rock stars in the 1970s, icons in the '80s and now, after more than 30 years of touring, 14 studio albums, bootlegs, live albums, box sets, Grammys, a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, they must be what, gods? Whatever they are, they put on one hell of a show Wednesday night. When the lights went down at the Tacoma Dome, a video collage projected on the stadium-size screen introduced the world-famous Boston five-piece. Following the truncated career retrospective, the band rushed to the stage thundering directly into the Beatles' anthem "Helter Skelter." Two catwalks extended from the stage deep into the main floor, while two more ran to the sides. From the very beginning, Steven Tyler and Joe Perry used every opportunity to strut down the runway and play directly into the hearts and hands of their adoring fans. One lucky fan even got to dance with Tyler, while another simply threw her panties. The hits "Walk This Way," "Same Old Song & Dance" and "Cryin' " came so fast and furious, there was barely time to relish the moment. Luckily, the band slowed it down by digging deep into their repertoire to 1974's "SOS." The song allowed only a breather before "Living on the Edge" gave the event a Tyler jump kick. Although the two songs from Perry's Grammy-nominated solo career were impressive feats of guitar calisthenics, their obscurity lulled the performance. Tom Hamilton corralled the momentum with his sinewy bass, teasing the crowd by drawing out his intro to "Sweet Emotion." When the song finally kicked in, every head for miles could be seen blissfully bobbing.. |
