Aerosmith's 1988 Concert History

Aerosmith, the iconic American rock band, was formed in 1970 in Boston, Massachusetts. Known for their blues-based hard rock style, they quickly gained notoriety as "the Bad Boys from Boston" and "America's Greatest Rock and Roll Band." Their debut album, released in 1973, featured the enduring hit "Dream On." Throughout the 1970s, they released a string of successful albums, solidifying their place in rock history. Despite facing internal conflicts and substance abuse issues, Aerosmith made a remarkable comeback in the mid-1980s with hit albums like "Permanent Vacation" and "Pump." The band's collaboration with Run-DMC on "Walk This Way" in 1986 introduced them to a new generation of fans. With over 150 million albums sold worldwide and numerous awards, including four Grammy Awards, Aerosmith has left an indelible mark on the world of rock music. Their influence can be seen in countless musicians and their enduring appeal continues to captivate audiences.
