the spring of 2001, and DJs around the country are previewing the hottest summer concerts scheduled to visit their respective cities. In the majority of the top markets, an old familiar group is coming to town, selling out venues from Cincinnati to Sin City (Las Vegas, of course). Aerosmiths Just Push Play tour is going into full bloom. When fans arrive at the concert, they immediately fit in with the crowd. Every possible socioeconomic, demographic, and psycho- graphic profile is in attendance-from the scantly clad, surgically enhanced twenty-something girls to the black-T-shirt-wearing 60- year-old guys who might recently have either fixed your plumbing or given your car a lube job. Look closer and you might see your boss or coworker, decked out in Dockers and button-down shirt. Suddenly the speakers rumble, an eerily sexual pulse coming from an unidentified instrument somewhere on the darkened stage. Bim- bos, aged hippies, kids, grandparents, and yuppies alike unite in one enthusiastic cheer as Steven Tyler, the stick-insect-like lead singer,     traverses the stage. From that moment on, and for the next three hours, the band and the crowd become one ball of rock-and-rolling energy, as each feeds off of the others passion. Expect lots of high-pitched screaming when guitarist Joe Perry and Tyler pair off together on stage during instrumental interludes, flex- ing their muscles and showing off physiques that should only be found on men half their age. But looking beyond their chiseled bod- ies, even former critics and skeptics have to admit that their sound is top-shelf. Tyler hits every note and infamous scream with perfection; Perrys guitars are slave to his magical touch; Tom Hamilton and Brad Whitford flawlessly conjure up all of the intense sound the other two dont make; and Joey Kramer beats the drums like nobodys business. As with other classic rock bands, Aerosmith blasts audiences with its repertoire of 30-plus years of hits. "Sweet Emotion," "Dream On," and "Toys in the Attic" feed the nostalgic side of the older crowd, while "Crazy," "Livin on the Edge," and "I Dont Want to Miss a Thing" satisfy those who were in high school in the 1990s. Sprinkled in between are the new songs of 2001-"Jaded," "Fly Away," and "Sunshine." What makes this classic rock concert different is that the band has the current number-one rock song in the country. In fact, "Jaded" even grabbed the Teen Choice Award honors for best rock song that summer, beating out much younger bands to define cool among American teens. By the end of the night, fans feel emotionally charged and physi- cally exhausted-from dancing around and watching the band exude
