Here's a few photos I shot from the audience. The past several shows have been postphoned due to Steven Tyler injury. I shot these with a Sony Cybershot 12.1 Mega Pixel. Smaller than my wallet!

nice pics. Tyler looks great. how was he injured?

ZZ TOP kick ass.

I heard he pulled a groin muscle...not really sure. The band is being unusually quiet.

Great Pix !!!

"It's just some friends of mine and they're busting down the door"

..possibly a pulled upper cheekbone; a plastic surgery related injury

The camera is a Sony Cybershot 12.1 DSC-W200. Fits in your pocket. For live shows I set it on 12.1 mega pixel, 400 ASA Rating and shoot around 125/sec and apature wide open. This camera is nice because you can shot in manual mode. You can find this Sony Model these days for under $300.00 It also uses the Lithium Ion rechargable battery. Comes with one...a $60 value alone. The camera does great work, yet small enough that security at concerts do not bother you because they view it as a point and shoot and not professional.

Here's a Billy Gibbons I shot last fall from the first row with the Sony.

Bill G is heavily equipped, accessorized. He got goggles on his head, on the head is a backwards cap on top of one, two(?) bandanas, shades on his eyes, a cigar in his mouth, and a big beard, A slide on the same finger as a big-ass 'Keith" ring; for a minute I thought the whammy was another cigarillo.
That is a lot of stuff. Once he is all strapped in they probably have to wheel him onto stage. Hahaha LOL

I'll have to dig out a shot of all the stuff he has dangling from his necklace...keys, bottle opener, etc.

It's hard to believe ZZ TOP opening for Aerosmith...it should be the other way around.

Here's a couple shots of Billy's neckware.

great photos, even if Steven Tyler looks like a girl now

I dont think so

<even if Steven Tyler looks like a girl now>

When did he not look like a girl? LOL!

cool pictures. Thanx for sharing.

Great pics, thanks a lot!

IMO Tyler is a way better musician than he comes off as. You know, there's crotch grabbing, and then there's crotch grabbing. I am all for a good stroking of the engine, but somehow with Tyler IMO it comes off as...I dunno, just kind of dumb. Jagger does it right.

Aerosmith Set Return to the Road, But Lose Another Member to Injury

In what has to be a record-breaking run of injuries for a single band, Aerosmith have suffered yet another setback on their Guitar Hero-themed summer tour with ZZ Top: bassist Tom Hamilton will be sitting out an unspecified number of shows due to what a press release describes as “non-invasive surgery.” Band pal and Joe Perry Project musician David Hull will fill in for Hamilton while he recuperates.

The rest of Aerosmith will be returning to the road tonight, July 15th, in Atlanta, another press release confirms. The band’s reps have also finally revealed what fans have suspected — that the reason Aerosmith have missed all of their shows this month was a leg injury sustained by frontman Steven Tyler at a gig at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut, on June 28th. Seven shows were nixed for rescheduling, including a July 1st date in Ohio, July 3rd in Pennsylvania, July 5th, 7th and 9th in North Carolina, and a pair of Florida dates: July 11th and 13th. Fans have been instructed to stick with Aerosmith’s official Website for updates on the rescheduled dates.

When Aerosmith do hit the stage tonight, it will be with guitarist Brad Whitford, who missed the first handful of dates the band played due to his own offstage mishap: he smashed his head on his Ferrari so forcefully, he suffered an internal injury and had to undergo surgery. After Tyler’s leg strain, Perry Tweeted, “Pray 4 Stevens speedy return”; he hasn’t posted an official comment about Hamilton’s condition yet. The band’s past medical problems include 1996 throat surgery for Tyler and throat cancer for Hamilton; 2008 foot surgery for Tyler which sent him to rehab to recover; March 2008 knee replacement for Perry; and Tyler’s recent bout with pneumonia, which stalled work on the band’s new LP.
