With summer winding down and just a few weeks before it was time to head back down to college, Aerosmith and Jackyl rolled in to the World Music Theatre. I don’t really remember who came along to this show, but my guess is that the usual band of suspects were there, I’m going to be completely honest and say I don’t remember much of anything about this show at all.
Jackyl opened up the show and, based on their setlist, it wouldn’t have been too exciting. Of their 8 song set, I’ve only heard of 2 of the songs, and only really liked 1 of them.
Looking back at Aerosmith’s setlist from the night in question, I’m struck more by the songs they didn’t play than the ones they did. They managed to get 8 songs from their latest album into the show, which meant there was no room for older favorites like What It Takes, Angel, and Back In The Saddle, to name a few. Beyond those 8, it was a pretty good mix of songs from their initial 70s heyday and their post-Run DMC resurrection.
