Aerosmith Goes Over Big In Boston

Aerosmith is on tour and the group’s fans are absolutely giddy. While many of today’s biggest names are struggling to fill seats in arenas across the country, Aerosmith doesn’t seem to be having that problem. In fact, people from all over the world are making their way to the United States to see the legendary band perform and are paying thousands of dollars to do it.

Fans from Tokyo traveled to Boston to see the band play and paid more then $1,000 for the privilege. A real estate broker from Beltway paid a whopping $2600 for two tickets, one for himself and the other for his son. The pair also received backstage access.

Performing alongside Aerosmith was J. Geils. Some in the crowd were debating which of the local bands were better. Though most people in the crowd wore Aerosmith paraphernalia, there were some who gave the edge to j. Geils, claiming that they were the better house-party band.

The fans in Boston varied a great deal in age. There were 20 ‘somethings’ and those in their 40s and 50s. Each had their own story to tell regarding why the band was important to them. One young lady in her late 20s mentioned that her first cassette purchase was of the band’s 1975 album, “Toys in the Attic.” She also listened to their music while being wheeled into the operating room for the removal of a benign brain tumor.

If you are interested in seeing Aerosmith in concert, they will be on tour until September 16, where they will perform their final 2010 date in Canada (British Columbia). There last U.S. gig will take place in Connecticut on September 4th at the Mohegan Sun Arena.
