An article in today’s Boston Globe regarding last night’s Aerosmith concert “A fiery Tyler ignites Aerosmith” mentions the only other act to set up a lawn stage was Jimmy Buffett. Here’s a clip of the article…
As the lawn fans went bonkers, the band crowded around Tyler as though this were a club show. Some of the fans in the lower pavilion, those who paid $75 a ticket, were stewing as they looked at Tyler’s back from afar (OK, they could still see him projected on the main-stage video screen). Such is life for a populist band that tries to please everyone. And if memory serves, the only other act to play on the lawn at Tweeter was Jimmy Buffett a few years ago. Another devoted populist.
