Aerosmith Concert!



As you all know, I got to attend the Cheap Trick/Aerosmith concert last night at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Irvine and we had so much fun!



Getting there however, not fun at all! The anticipated hour of driving became into a 2 1/2 hour drive! Which typically wouldn't bother me, only that we were already an hour late for the concert! Needless to say, we missed most of Cheap Trick's set which at that point, we were more worried about making it on time to see Aerosmith! BUT, we did get to see Cheap Trick perform their last couple of songs and they sounded great! However didn't take any "worthy" pictures, so I won't post them up!


The place was jammed packed (of course) and fans were crazy excited (including myself) BUT I must say, even though we had a blast, I've seen better concerts before! I've been very lucky and seen many artists and bands perform and based on it all, I think my expectations of Aerosmith were pretty high! They were good and yes, it was fun BUT i've seen better performances! Non-the-less I'm glad we saw them and now I can mark it off my bucket list! Below is the set list from last night's concert! And, don't ask me how i got it! lol




Now, as far as seats go, we bought our tickets a little late so we got stuck with the "lawn" seats! It was either that or $400 on front row tickets and well, I wasn't gonna spend over $800 on a pair of tickets (very few artists i would do that for, oh yea..and for LAKER playoffs). Anyway, we managed to take some pictures and video of our favorite song! Enjoy the pictures!














It was an awesome time and I just need to point out, when they sang "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" the whole stadium just got emotional lol everyone took their phones or lighters out and like a classic ballad belt-out everyone started shifting back and forth! It was pretty amazing and I am sooooo happy I got to see them perform live after so many years!

Enjoy!



Awesomeness right? After they said "goodbye" to the crowd, of course they did an encore of not only 1 song, but 3 SONGS! And what kind of an encore would it be if "Walk this Way" wasn't included in those 3 (which of course it was).

Anyway, they're still out there touring so if you get a chance definitely check them out!
