See the setlist and photos from the first night of Aerosmith’s farewell tour

On Saturday night (September 2), Aerosmith began their long goodbye with the first show of their North American farewell tour.

The Boston rock legends will be stopping off at 40 dates with The Black Crowes on their Peace Out run – and judging by the first night’s setlist from Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center, they’ll be giving thousands of gig-goers across the country a lot of hits, performing 18 songs as well as using an impressive 360-degree production. Clearly they delivered on the promise of giving fans “the best show of our lives” when the tour was first announced…

Aerosmith kicked things off with Back In The Saddle, before bringing out all the classics like Love In An Elevator, I Don’t Want to Miss A Thing, Sweet Emotion and Dream On, before closing on Walk This Way.
