Aerosmith Rocks Out at the 2012

With over 70 combined years of making music and touring, Aerosmith and Cheap Trick haven’t lost their edge one bit. Making a stop in Philadelphia Saturday at the Wells Fargo Center for their “Global Warming Tour,” Aerosmith and Cheap Trick proved that rock ‘n’ roll is alive and kicking. Cheap Trick served as the opening act, playing a slew of their staples like “Surrender,” “Dream Police” and “I Want You To Want Me,” with Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler coming out to assist on the vocals.

It wasn’t just Tyler who came out during their set. Guitarist Brad Whitford strummed along during their performance of “Ain’t That A Shame.” Trick’s lead vocalist Robin Zanders, decked out in a Pavaratti-inspired, soldier’s jacket, has some amazing vocals at 59. There wasn’t a song he performed where he didn’t sound like the original recording.
