The show had started with a can’t miss four-beat of “Back in the Saddle” (amid red pyrotechnic rockets), “The Same Old Song and Dance,” “Rag Doll” and “Mama Kin.” Tyler was resplendent in black sparkly pants and vest over a gold shirt, while Perry was a bit more gritty in ripped jeans, slouched Western hat and sparkly black waistcoat. This time, North Shore rockers Extreme opened with a brisk one-hour set, and if vocalist Gary Cherone and guitarist Nuno Bettancourt’s crowd-pleasing charge through “More Than Words” and a booming “Sweet Caroline” were certainly fun, they were clearly only an appetizer. This was Aerosmith’s twice-delayed 50th Anniversary celebration, with the added suspense of singer Steven Tyler’s springtime return to rehab, and also their first return to the storied ballpark since their legendary 2010 show there, when Beantown friends The J.Geils Band opened. The vintage quintet roared through two hours of their biggest hits and some sizzling surprises before a crowd that was said to set a new attendance record for concerts at Boston’s Fenway Park, presumably breaking the 37,200 mark set by Lady Gaga on Aug. REVIEW: Aerosmith, with Extreme, at Fenway Park, Thursday night.īOSTON – They may look a little the worse for wear, but Aerosmith proved Thursday night they still have the chops, the catalog and most importantly, the go-for-it-all attitude to remain at the pinnacle of hard driving rock 'n' roll.
