Aerosmith Throw Street Party

• 6th Nov 2012

1325 Commmonwealth Avenue is the building in Boston where it all began some 40 years ago for AEROSMITH, in an apartment where Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Brad Whitford, Tom Hamilton and Joey Kramer lived and wrote songs together in the early ‘70s. It was where they planted the seed that would catapult them to become America’s greatest rock band, with sales exceeding 150 million albums worldwide and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

“To be living the dream in Aerosmith for all these years is beyond humbling” says front man Steven Tyler “But to return to where the dream was dreamt, is the dream come true full circle! To be honored at 1325 Commonwealth Avenue to shut down the street, invite all our friends, receive a plaque from the Mayor of Boston and put our hands in cement…just think it could have been our feet! It’s the end and the beginning of a life long dream…dream on!”

On the day before Election Day and the release of their new album MUSIC FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION! (Columbia Records), AEROSMITH threw one helluva party for their dedicated fans and their beloved city of Boston. They urged fans to become a “Freedom Fighter” by voting and performed live right in front of the 1325 Commmonwealth Avenue building. Tens of thousands of cheering fans turned out, with the city closing the streets down and suspending trolley service in the area (since the trolley runs in front of the apartment). It was one of the biggest events ever in Boston.

Next, AEROSMITH continues their “Global Warming Tour,” with a new leg starting November 8 that will reach arenas in 14 cities.
