Let’s start with the end of the concert, two hours of hard rock & roll and Steven Tyler looks and sounds like he has found Ponce de Leon's Fountain of Youth. With war paint on his face for "Train Kept a Rollin' " the ageless rock star was as in-shape and on-target as he was when I saw the band so many times in the early '70s.

But to be able to hit those notes after "Dream On" and the hit-filled set was truly stunning, as Tyler ran around the stage and extended platform into the audience from start to finish.  The interesting thing about a popular rock concert these days is that the "instant replay" on You Tube makes for a reference point unavailable in the days of old, unless you brought a tape recorder to the event.
