I went back through my pictures and I found the last Aerosmith concert I went to was 10 years ago. I believe it was in Boston but I’m not entirely sure. There’s an outside chance it could have been Portland, Maine but I think it was Boston. It hurts that I never got to see them one last time but the only consolation is the last time I saw them the full band was together.
Here is a partial of Kings and Queens and the set list from that night…it was in Mansfield MA
1 Back In The Saddle 2 Eat The Rich 3 Love In An Elevator 4 Cryin' 5 Livin' On The Edge 6 Monkey On My Back 7 Kings And Queens 8 Toys In The Attic 9 Rag Doll 10 Freedom Fighter 11 Stop Messin' Around 12 Mama Kin (with Slash) 13 Rats In The Cellar 14 I Don't Want To Miss A Thing 15 Dude (Looks Like A Lady) 16 Walk This Way ---Encore--- 17 Dream On 18 Sweet Emotion 19 Train Kept A Rollin' (with Johnny Depp)

I saw them last in 2017 in Europe when they proclaimed it their farewell tour. They opened with Young Lust and I couldn't believe how awesome this band is and how cool it is of them do be doing what they were doing. Unbeknown to me, it would still take another 6 years for them to actually retire. What a band. The best ever.

My last show was in La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina, October 8th 2016. Here's the setlist.
1 Back In The Saddle 2 Love In An Elevator 3 Cryin' 4 Jaded 5 Crazy 6 Last Child 7 Livin' On The Edge 8 Rats In The Cellar 9 Dude (Looks Like A Lady) 10 Same Old Song And Dance 11 Chip Away The Stone 12 Rag Doll 13 Stop Messin' Around 14 I Don't Want To Miss A Thing 15 Come Together 16 Walk This Way 17 Train Kept A Rollin' ---Encore--- 18 Dream On 19 Sweet Emotion
I also saw them in Cordoba, October 5th 2016, their last 2 shows in Argentina. They were booked to come in 2017, I even had my ticket, but they cancelled the show the week before. Thay alleged some issue with Steven's healt, dehidration if I recall correctly, but the rumor was that the ticket sales was poor, around 5k for a 35 k stadium. Keep in mind the show was on a tuesday night and not in the country's capital, so people had a lot of travelling to do to get to the city (Rosario).

Oh, wow, I would have been so happy to get this set! It has half a dozen songs I never got to experience live and would have loved to. I also saw them last on that 2017 Aerovederci tour. When I left the venue after that show in Berlin, I never imagined it would be the last time I would see them live. I talked to Nobu at that show and he said they were still cooking something, so I was hopeful. Then they announced another tour, I got a ticket... and then it never happened. I still have that pretty print ticket. ! At least I'm happy with the shows I got to see and I'm happy it was the full band.

I went back through my pictures and I found the last Aerosmith concert I went to was 10 years ago. I was at the the previous show, in Ontario. Solid show, with highlights being Monkey, Kings and especially Rats. Low point: Freedom Fighter. Ugh. Saw MFAD represented live only once, and it's that crummy tune. Oh Yeah, on the other hand, would've made the highlight list. You got Mama with Slash. That's pretty great! Last Aero show was April 21 2019 in Vegas. Fun show, and Joey's last before the absence began. On the way out, I commented to my wife that, for all we know, this could be the last time we see them. So -yep- it was me who jinxed it.

The 6th one being Train. I would have loved Freedom Fighter though. I get what you're saying about Oh Yeah, love that song, but I didn't even get Freedom Fighter, so... if I see it on a setlist, my first thought is always going to be "Hell yeah!"

That's true. Something is always better than nothing. If not for seeing FF, it would've stuck in my craw that my live Aero history had one album unrepresented.

My last show was Toronto 2012, and I was amazed at great they still were.
Then... I was supposed to see Joe Perry in Detroit in 2018. But that got cancelled when he had to be hospitalized. Then they were booked to play Roxodus, a festival a few hours north of Toronto, in 2019. The festival was subsequently cancelled. Then, got a solo ticket to see them in Vegas in 2019. I checked into my hotel only to hear the show was cancelled because Steven Tyler had lost his voice!
And then, Europe. Madrid in 2020, postponed to 2021, then to 2022, only to be cancelled. And the same with Lisbon.
Then the farewll tour in Toronto. Toronto would have been next up before it all went south. So sad I never got to see them again.

My last concert was the Boston Fenway show on 9/8/22.
Remarkably, I saw them 20 times since 97 and never had a show cancelled after I bought tickets. The Fenway show was delayed twice due to the corona, but the other 19 shows went on as scheduled. Usually my luck is the exact opposite, but I did catch a few breaks.
In 1998 I wanted to see them during the summer, but couldn't afford that and the NYE show, so I only got the latter. The summer show was cancelled after Joey's Ferrari caught fire while refueling. Then a similar situation in 2001, they were playing Boston Garden and Manchester, NH a few weeks apart. I could only afford one (broke college kid), and as much as I hated the idea of passing on Boston Garden, which was known for their best shows, they were the first act booked to play at a new arena in Manchester, NH about 30 miles from where they started in Lake Sunapee. The NH show went down, then Boston show ended up being one of the first concerts cancelled for Steven having strained vocals.

I was supposed to see them May 2020 in Vegas, but we all know what happened. Then was supposed to see them December 2022 in Vegas(for 2 shows), but Steven got sick. Tried Salt Lake City November 2023, but Steven broke. Held my tickets for November 2024, but now no more touring.

Rather embarrassed to say the last for me was the PV tour. 1988-01-29 at the Cow Palace in Daly City (San Francisco) Set List: 1 Toys In The Attic 2 Same Old Song And Dance 3 Bone To Bone (Coney Island White Fish Boy) 4 Dude (Looks Like A Lady) 5 Big Ten Inch Record 6 Lightning Strikes 7 Rag Doll 8 Hangman Jury 9 Back In The Saddle 10 Permanent Vacation 11 Last Child 12 Draw The Line 13 Dream On 14 Train Kept A Rollin' Drum Solo 15 Sweet Emotion - Peter Gunn Theme ---Encore--- 16 I'm Down 17 Walk This Way
Saw them only seven times total. What changed? Kids came along and our priorities and discretionary funds were quite different. My wife and I did have tickets to see Aerosmith with Cheap Trick opening-perhaps about 15-20 years ago-, but the show was cancelled due to Tyler getting "ill" and tickets were refunded. After that, prices went up so much I just lost interest in seeing them live. Kind of sad as I still love them.
