The Aerosmith concert in Sturgis at the Buffalo Chip Campground on August 5 lived up to its expectation as the concert of the summer in every way possible. Not only did the crowd take in a killer performance from one of the world’s most respected rock groups, but they also were shocked when singer Steven Tyler fell off the stage. A sad moment, but nonetheless a part of rock history that no one who witnessed will ever forget. The good news is that Tyler is on the road to recovery, but the bad news is that the rest of the Aerosmith/ZZ Top tour had to be canceled.

how many songs did aerosmith do at strugis and what was the set list?
Hi Don – they performed 9 songs before the fall. From memory it was Back in the Saddle, Falling in Love (Is Hard on the Knees), Ragdoll, Dream On, Walkin’ the Dog, Last Child, Combination, Stop Messin’ Around, and Love in an Elevator – at which point the fall occurred.
I should add that to my knowledge, “Back in the Saddle” was not played at any other shows on the 2009 tour. It was a great surprise!
