could aerosmith book a venue for 10 days and have a helluva of a party over there. play different sets every night. this way fans from around the world could meet up etc. it should be about time now. do something like this. this would be better than the us tour, maybe end the tour with ten shows at boston garden. can this be arranged? tom, you out there?

They can't even sell 50% at most venues for one show these days. How could they sell TEN?!?

I would imagine they would do something like that for the quote on quote Last Tour.... Ten shows at the Garden. I would go to every one.

Folks, come on now...time to be honest with yourselves. Aerosmith sound fantastic and should have the creds to sell out anywhere at anytime, based on popularity and vast catalog of both hits and hard rockers, but due to over touring, overpriced tickets, a weak economy, performing the same songs for a decade now, and compromising the integrity of their music, their large venue touring days are coming to an end as this tour seems to be indicating.
They can't sell out one show in their own back yard, so how the hell could anyone fathom they could sell out 10 shows? I don't think they could fill 10 shows if all the tickets were free. I remember feeling sad when I saw them with Kiss in Manchester NH & there were many, many empty seats & this was back in 2003 or 2004. There has been a lot more damage to their concert draw power since then.
I think they missed an opportunity with MFAD. I think if Steven had a clear understanding of the state of the music business, he would've accepted that nobody sells records anymore and bands are making money primarily from touring and merchandising. Pop rock is no more popular than harder rock. Actually, I think a case could be made that there are more hard rock bands today than pop, Bon Jovi types. Therefore, if they had truly calculated a shift in musical direction back to hard rock for MFAD and marketed the tour for MFAD as a return to the glory days of hard rock, I think they would have peaked the interest of fans that had long written them off and would still have sold tickets to the pop fans as well, as they like many of the 70's hits and gems as well. They could have promoted this across the country by hitting the classic and hard rock stations and catching the public's ear by kinda bashing their own pop success by saying "Even We have had enough with the pop friendly bs, the original Aerosmith is Back In The Saddle to kick your horses ass!!!

I totally agree with the above posts; no way in hell Aerosmith could sell out 10 dates (probably even if they were free). Trust me, I wish they could, but realistically speaking, the interest from the public is not even high enough to sell out 20,000 seats for one nights. Selling 200,000 seats for essentially back-to-back shows would be impossible. Plus it would be kind of ridiculous that there would be 3 days in between each show; I think that would kill some of the excitement.

They could do 10 back to back club shows all in New England, setlist exclusively pre-PV, different set each night. I'd go to multiple shows for sure.

^I agree. They could probably do and or sell out 10 club shows, theater size or house of blues shows, especially if they had reasonable ticket prices. Like $50-100 at the most. I really would love to see them do a club and or theater tour just once. Or if they played a mix of venues for a tour. Like they could play Madison Square Garden, but play a place like starland ballroom in New Jersey, or the Theater of the Living Arts or the Electric Factory in Philadelphia instead of the arenas. That would be really cool. Personally from the recordings I've heard, I think that's where they sound their best, in smaller venues! I just feel that the majority of the time that's where a bands sound is best represented. In like a 2,000-5,000 capacity venue.

They could probably do it in Japan. They just aren't what they once were/could have been or should have been in the States anymore. Too many mis steps along the way.

Uh, isn't there something we are forgetting? To do ten unique sets they would have to actually rehearse for more than a day or two.
