If I could choose to watch any band or group perform live, I would probably watch Aerosmith. Their classic ‘I Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing’ was one of the major anthems of my childhood and adolescence. I have very fond memories of dancing about to them in my bedroom at home. To watch them perform live, particularly after so long, would be awesome: it would surely be up there with watching Greenday in Hyde Park a few years ago, or The Cat Empire in The Albert Hall a couple of years before that.

Late last night I read that Aerosmith have now announced their farewell tour. “US rock ‘n’ roll band Aerosmith have announced a farewell tour to mark more than five decades together. The band, who are now all in their 70s, are well known for hits such as Dream On, Walk This Way and I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing.” Old though they may be, I would bet those guys can still put on a show, and there’s nothing I wouldn’t give to watch them thrash out those old anthems live. How awesome would it be to be among an audience of tens, if not hundreds of thousands, listening to Steve Tyler yell ‘Walk this way!’ into a microphone? (Last year I tried to get tickets to see Guns and Roses, which would have been equally phenomenal, but they were sold out.)

Unfortunately for me, the tour will be in America and doesn’t look like it will be coming to the UK, so it’s probably a non-starter. Mind you, if anyone fancies taking me to Las Vagas, feel free to drop me an email.
