I will be reviewing the Pittsburgh show, this past July
ZZ top came on first, their show was incredible. the showman ship lacked some energy of other shows on the tour(that I've seen clips of) but the music made up for it. They extended many songs and jammed for a bit, it was great, they played mostly the mid 70s - early 80s hits, but they didn't play a few lesser known songs, it was nice to hear something besides sharp dressed man and cheap sunglasses (they did play these, but it wasn't those and the eliminator album and the other 80s output) it was Tush, and Heard it on the X as well. They ended with Just Got Paid and jammed on it for a good six maybe seven minutes at the end and the playing was better than the albums, better than the clips from the 70s I've seen. the only bummer of the show was the wait between ZZ top and Aerosmith, they waited for it to get dark, but zz top got done around 8:15, it didn't get dark till a bit past nine, then Aerosmith came on, I've never seen another 60 year old man move like that.... I don't even think I can do what Mr. Tyler still does now. at sixty some years old hes still humping the microphone stand. The set list was great, they extended sweet emotion and put some nice solos right in the middle then ended with some serious energy, the ending of the song was so powerful.
The only part of their show I dind't like was Joe perry trying to sing... it was quite an interesting thing to listen to especially after his voice went out after the first thirty seconds. I never liked his solo work, and this was the perfect example why. but after that they finished out the show great, They're encore was Come Together and they played Toys in the Attic in its entirety, with some extras, stuff from Rocks and Get your wings, Train kept a rolling was incredible as well, very very powerful through out the whole song, they just beat the hell out of it
Steven Tyler didn't even fall off the stage that night either, no one walked off the stage, no fights between the band, overall a very good show, energetic good music, good crowd, two great bands, and just awesome
Glad I got to see them before the fighting resumed and the falling off the stage happened
