Aerosmith Takes the Stage

As much as I love covering the fair for work, I absolutely love going just for fun! Last year, I blogged about seeing Boyz II Men at the Santa Barbara County Fair, and seeing Kelly Clarkson, Journey and KISS at the Mid-State Fair. Both super fun! This year, I continued the tradition and saw Aerosmith rock the stage on Monday. I’m not a die-hard Aerosmith fan, but I’ve always liked their music and thought of how cool it would be to see them in person (my mom has officially decided I should have been born in the 70’s!). When I heard they were coming to the Central Coast, on my day off, I knew it was fate!

Now, this is going to sound pretty nerdy, but I definitely made an Aerosmith playlist for the ride to Paso Robles. We got to the fair a couple of hours before the concert so we could browse all the expo exhibits, play a few games and eat some fried food! They took the stage just before 9 p.m. and opened with “Love in an Elevator.” They played for about 1:45 and covered most of my favorites. We’re talking “Sweet Emotion,” “Dream On,” “I Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing,” “Walk This Way,” “Cryin’,” etc. I was a bit disappointed they didn’t play “Dude Looks Like a Lady,” but overall it was an absolute blast! The guys can still rock it! Below is a video of them singing “Walk This Way,” please excuse the camera work!
