2020 is supposed to be a big year for Aerosmith. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the band, but unfortunately, things haven’t started off well for them. Just a couple weeks ago Aerosmith announced that their spring residency in Las Vegas has been postponed due to the Coronavirus. Let’s hope by September they’ll be able to celebrate their 50th anniversary with their fans as they play Boston’s Fenway Park on September 18th.
Today we look back at the last time they came through New England, which was last August on their Deuces Are Wild residency in Springfield.
Today’s Throwback Concert:
Aerosmith
Deuces Are Wild Residency
Monday August 26, 2019
The MassMutual Center – Springfield, MA
About The Tour: Aerosmith launched its Deuces Are Wild residency in April 2019 and played 18 consecutive shows at the Park Theater in Las Vegas. The residency in Las Vegas lasted until July before shifting over to three other MGM Resorts on the East Coast. One of them was MGM Springfield, who at the time was celebrating its one-year anniversary. For four nights in late August, Aerosmith performed at The MassMutual Center and fans got to welcome the band back to its home state of Massachusetts.
Each of those four nights, a sold out crowd rocked out to an Aerosmith show full of nothing but hits and classics. There was no opening act, however, for those that came early there was a 30 minute pre-show movie about the history of the band.
Below is the setlist from the August 26th show in Springfield. This was the third show on the residency.
