Rock 'n Roll Shocker--Steven Tyler Ambulanced!
Yes, the rumors are true:
Midway through a blistering set of the finest music ever made, Aerosmith experienced a problem with either the sound system, and/or it's source of power, rendering the boys from beantown helpless in front of a crowd of about 60,000 rabid fans at the Buffalo Chip campground in Sturgis, South Dakota.
Joe Perry was the first to notice something was wrong. Tyler kept singing, but to no avail. After a few minutes of confusion, Tyler seemed to want to do a song and dance out on the extended runway, and out into the packed arena. A 360 degree spin at the end of the podium, then another, back at about ten feet, and off he went, into his screaming fans.
ABM initially figured Mr. Tyler was doing some simple rock crowd surfing, ala Iggy Pop. When he didn't immediately surface, we knew there was trouble. 20 long minutes later, Joe Perry, the lead guitarist appeared to say sorry, & that Steven Tyler was on the way to the hospital.
Up until then, this was a show to remember forever. Now it's one for the record books, but for the wrong reason. Before leaving, Mr. Perry promised the crowd this wouldn't be the last time they'd see...Aerosmith.
Tonight: Tesla, Hinder.
Tomorrow: Buckcherry!
