The post Aerosmith Kick Off Farewell Tour with Hits-Filled Set: Photos + Video appeared first on Consequence.

Aerosmith kicked off their “Peace Out” farewell tour on Saturday (September 2nd) at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, where the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band played an 18-song set filled with their many hits and fan favorites.

Back in May, Aerosmith announced that they’d be embarking on a final tour (tickets available here), stating, “It’s not goodbye, it’s PEACE OUT! Get ready and walk this way, you’re going to get the best show of our lives.”

On Saturday, singer Steven Tyler and company launched the first show of the 40-date North American outing with “Back in the Saddle,” followed quickly by the hits “Love in an Elevator,” “Cryin’,” and “Janie’s Got a Gun.” Alongside those instantly recognizable tunes, the band worked in deeper cuts like “Adam’s Apple,” “No More No More,” and “Seasons of Wither,” as well as their cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Stop Messin’ Around.”

It was nothing but classics when the band closed out the show, as the main set ended with “Sweet Emotion” and “Toys in the Attic,” followed by an encore of “Dream On” and “Walk This Way.”

The Black Crowes, who are supporting the entire tour, played an 11-song set featuring hits like “Hard to Handle,” “She Talks to Angels,” and “Jealous Again.”

Aerosmith’s North American farewell outing continues through a January 26th show in Montreal, and includes a New Year’s Eve hometown show at Boston’s TD Garden, as well as a January 19th gig at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.
