Sunday's Best: Week 37, 2022

Today is Patriot Day - the 21st anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Take a moment to remember those lost - and everything that came after.

Join the 9/11 Memorial & Museum from anywhere to take part in active remembrance. Tomorrow, snap a picture of the sky above you – regardless of the weather – and post it to Instagram. Be sure to tag us and use the hashtags #NeverForget911 and #rememberthesky. pic.twitter.com/EyOScKNboK

Today also marks the first Sunday of NFL Week 1! It was a busy and news filled week around the world and in the U.S. Closer to home, Eric and I worked on the house and ordered some new carpet for the bedroom which should be coming by the end of the month. When you're middle aged, new carpet = excitement I guess.

Aerosmith finally got to play their big 50th anniversary show at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts on Thursday night, and that's our Sunday's Best for this week.

In the days before COVID-19, I had tickets for the Fenway gig. In fact, I bought them literally the minute they went on sale. I rejoined Aero Force One (fan club) to purchase early. I set a timer on my phone and closed the door to my office so I could concentrate. Fast forward and the pandemic shuts down the world, cancels the big concert, I get my money refunded and that was the end of it for me. I was skeptical the show would ever happen, but it did and it was apparently amazing. I know several people who went - and all seem to agree it was worth the money and the wait. I'll have to wait just a little longer because I am seeing Aerosmith in Las Vegas in December.

A fun fact: apparently the Aerosmith anniversary show now holds the record for the most tickets sold to any event at Fenway - ever.

I was looking for good videos of the show to share - and YouTube was literally removing them as soon as I would find them.

Live Aerosmith Is Back!

After two and a half years, Aerosmith finally performed live again. The band played in Bangor, Maine last night. The setlist was decent but it could be better with the addition of "Nobody's Fault," "Rats In The Cellar" and "Toys In The Attic." Seriously, how was "Toys" not in the show? "Deuces Are Wild" should really be in here, but maybe Aerosmith skipped it because I assume they play it at every Las Vegas gig and this one-off show gave them a chance to skip it. "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" should be banned but then the soccer moms and casual fans would be ticked. The most egregious omission from this set? "Last Child" for sure.

This Is The Good Shit: Aerosmith - Live In 1977

Aerosmith continues to celebrate their 50th anniversary. The other day I mentioned the band would be raiding their vaults and sharing some classic, unreleased live shows. Yesterday, Aerosmith shared "Live From The Summit, Houston, TX, 1977." Act fast because you will only be able to watch the entire concert for one week.

The concerts took place in Houston on June 24 and June 25, 1977 - way before I was even an idea to my parents!

This is old school, down and dirty rock and roll, live and in your face. Enjoy!
