Review: Aerosmith Concert at Amphitheater Northwest
Thursday, July 30, 2015
On Tuesday night (July 28th) the Bad Boys From Boston took their Blue Army Tour to Amphitheater Northwest in Ridgefield, Washington.
Before the concert officially began the atmosphere was already rockin’. No matter where you were in the amphitheater you could hear an Aerosmith song playing in the background. People in attendance were walking around with a beer in their hand singing along with whatever song was playing within earshot.
Once 8pm finally arrived the band took the stage and the venue immediately erupted. There were people screaming, jumping and spilling their drinks everywhere. When Steven Tyler stepped out and began singing “Draw The Line” the amphitheater got even louder. Throughout the evening this electricity never let up.
Those who attended this concert also got to hear a song that no other venue has heard on the tour. Tyler, along with the rest of his bandmates, decided to perform "One Way Street," which is a song from their original self-titled-debut that was released around 45 years ago. "We're gonna play a song that we've never played on this tour," said Tyler. "We're gonna see who f$%*s up first." The band then performed the song with no apparent mistakes.
Once it seemed as though the concert was over, and the band left the stage, the crowd began a “one more song” chant that worked to perfection. Steven Tyler came back out within 10 minutes to the piano and began singing "Home Tonight," which quickly turned into "Dream On." After that the Demon of Screamin’ concluded the night with "Sweet Emotion."
If you’ve never been to an Aerosmith concert make sure you quickly add it to your bucket list. It's not every day that you can see one of the best-selling rock and roll bands of all time.
