PHILADELPHIA — Aerosmith is one of the best things to come out of Boston, and soon it will exist only in memories and playbacks — like Tom Brady, “Cheers” and Larry Bird.
Singer Steven Tyler, guitarists Joe Perry and Brad Whitford, and bassist Tom Hamilton all wore black cowboy hats as they ripped into “Back In The Saddle,” the song that has opened Aerosmith shows for decades as a giant Aerosmith logo folded down from the rafters, flanked by an even bigger set of wings.
The band also tossed fans some rare chestnuts like “No More, No More,” on which Tyler forgot several of the words; “Adam's Apple,” “Seasons Of Wither” and the Mississippi Delta blues-inspired “Hangman Jury.” Tyler referenced those assaults during Saturday's show, recalling them as “the big bang theory” before Perry shushed him. Tyler quickly changed the subject to the fact that his mother's family came from Philadelphia.
But so much more went right than went wrong, and it's been that way for decades at Aerosmith concerts. Perry was positively brilliant on vocals and guitar during a cover of Fleetwood Mac's 1968 three-chord blues jam “Stop Messin' Round," during which he and Whitford traded solos, and Tyler gave the harmonica another workout.
Bassist Tom Hamilton got a huge ovation while playing the opening notes of “Sweet Emotion,” possibly the most famous bass intro to a song in rock history. And a giant elephant, frog, gnome and teddy bear descended from the ceiling on “Toys In The Attic.”
