You had mentioned being bummed at Steven missing/flubbing lyrics at the show you saw. All of the performances of Kings And Queens I've seen on youtube, and no I haven't seen them all, his vocals have been spot on and he seems very focused.

He was good on k&q, not as good as in 2015 when he did variations even higher than the studio version. He's doing some falsetto instead this year harmonising with Buck. It's not as powerful but it's a good rendition, less stressful for his voice. He was kinda bad on dream on and elevator when he skipped parts and notes, that kinda pissed me off. Overall he still has a good voice and delivered a strong performance with high screams and vocals (train, saddle, dude, hangman jury, k&q and mother popcorn had the best vocals) I didn't mean to say it was a bad show or Steven didn't have voice. Just a slower, shorter and not so fresh setlist in comparison to previous concerts I've seen.

I didn't say anything but I have definitely noticed Steven struggling to hitting some of the high notes. You would never know by looking at him onstage but the dude is in his 70's!! Of course he can't hit all those notes anymore but overall he is still kicking ass and better than most guys half his age. No problems at all with Steven's effort or performance.
That is all I will say about that here, not trying to derail the thread too much as it is for videos.

I wasn't too excited by them playing Kings and Queens but it sounds amazing live. Great song choice.

A couple of drunk guys a few rows in front of me were going crazy even for crying and I don't want to miss a thing (which honestly always end up being among the strongest moments of an aerosmith show because of the crowd reaction) Anyway giving the theater nature of the venue people stay mostly seated and just look at the show comfortably enjoying the superior audio experience. It's a very different experience from the physical exhausting European festivals or indoor arena with great GA pits where you have to stay in line for hours to snatch a first row seat. Steven seemed kinda bothered by some fans behavior like staying seated with their phone in front of their face, he yelled at a person in the on stage seats: "come over here you didn't pay for a seat back there" and let all the people from that section come in front of the barrier on the stage. Also he yelled ad a guy smoking a cigar saying he was chilling too much, kinda in a fun way but he mocked the guy 3 times so it got a little annoying for me. Overall the crowd seemed to be made mostly by fans, clapping and cheering was loud despite the small number of people there, so I assume they could play deeper cuts. As far as I remember k&q, hangman jury and season got a good warm response. Of course it's crying that shakes the whole theatre tho. I don't know it's hard to compare coming from festivals experience where the crowd and artists bond is much stronger and intense. I'd suggest you American fans to travel to Europe instead next tour, because I'm sure they're gonna tour globally again. Personally it's a better experience but GA is TIRING.

But hearing 30/60k people all singing along squeezed all next to each other under the sky it's amazing.

Sounds like the Theatre would kill the atmosphere for me. I'll hold out for the European shows. GA is always the way to go. Sleep later

Yes EU gigs are better. But hearing Brad 's solo so sharply clear was something!

I'll take any band in a more intimate setting any day of the week. Not sure how any interaction between band and audience could be more intense than being up close and personal with one an other.

Because you're not seated with your beer but packed with other fans jumping and singing with physical pain. It's magical.

Somehow, 'magical physical pain' doesn't really sell me on it.
There are pros and cons to both.
Festival cons: mud, sweat, flying bottled piss, windwhipped sound, fat shirtless drunks, vomit, rain, onstage ants, bad breath blasts, too few porta pottys, too many needing porta pottys and general funky stink.
Small venue cons: Sometimes there's no cup holder. I hate that.

Just physical demanding boredom in the heat but overall I've survived many concerts. At least I get some adrenaline flowing that way. Something I can't experience getting at the venue 20 minutes before showtime with my assigned seat.

Train from last night. Boys seem on it. Tempo is right. JK seems more with it.
