He heard what this person said but he had a deer in headlight look on his face; he didn't get it. Tyler asked what this person meant by their comment and they went on the explain that top tickets for the show cost upwards of $160, it was a Tuesday night, two-weeks before Christmas and that the band had been in Milwaukee or near it on the touring circuit eight of the last nine years. One thing I would have added was the fact that Aerosmith, on this portion of their never ending tour, were performing a measly 95-minute set.
I remember people telling me the $160 was worth it because the set was nothing but songs from their golden era in the 1970's (approximately $10 a song). In response I said "Well, if you cut thirty-five minutes from your show it's very easy to narrow your set down to one decade". As some of you read this you must immediately be thinking how I am making this up, but I am not because someone I trust implicitly saw it go down first hand.
