An Aerosmith gig was the last stadium event I've attended, and that was a long time ago.
Even then they aging (errrr preserved) well. They seem to be turning into the American version of the Stones.
We had bad tickets that night, and our seats were way up the back of a decent sized indoor entertainment arena.
I saw the whole performance on a video screen suspended from the roof, cause the band on the stage looked like an animated postage stamp.
'€˜I could watch this at home'€™ I thought. From then on I swore to only go see bands in venues where the floor had sticky carpet, you could reach up and touch the pipes running across the roof, and I don't have to wait for half an hour to get out into the fresh air when the gig is done.
Unfortunately that means I missed the only time the Cure toured Oz.
They have only toured Australia once (as far as I know.) The lead singer is afraid to fly. To get to the country, I hear he was drugged to the eyeballs, and carried onto the plane.
The Cure had sort of sold out€™ by that stage. They avoided the more intimate venues, and were booked into the same arena that I had vaguely seen Areosmith in.
So I missed them.
