I caught the Aerosmith/ZZ Top show in Atlanta last Wednesday night. ZZ Top, seasoned like Tex-Mex chili, cooked. Aerosmith, America's hard rock answer to The Stones, swaggered. These bands are legends for a reason.
Despite the obstacles, it was a very good night of American rock.
It was hot - upper 90's around showtime. That might've contributed to ZZ Top playing only an hour. Aerosmith only went 90 minutes, but Steven Tyler tore his hamstring a couple of weeks ago, forcing the band to postpone or cancel its next six shows. (Not to mention the other band ailments.) Atlanta was their first show back, and despite Steven not being at full speed, moving very slowly and deliberately on stage, I feel very blessed.
