Anyone can have a off night. I saw Aerosmith back during the Monsters of Rock day’s. They were awful. Just awful. Tyler was so drunk he fell over and face planted on stage. They played for about 4 songs before Jeff Beck saved the day and politely ushered them off stage.
He played the entire Blow by Blow album and then dig into his stuff all the way back to the Yardbirds. 2 hours later it was over. He was amazing. Just amazing.
This was at Comiskey Park in Chicago. Ironically enough a large cooling unit caught fire when Aerosmith was playing. Fortunately the fire was quickly sniffed out and no one was injured. That could have broke real bad.

Funny, my friend & I had the exact same experience (likely the same tour) w Aerosmith. Beck opened & was amazing. Aerosmith was so bad we left after a few songs.
