Aerosmith had plenty of friends -- and musical assistance -- as it returned to the stage for the first time in years on Oct. 29 at the famed Hollywood Bowl.
The Bad Boys from Boston themselves performed six songsat the end of a stunning night of rock 'n' roll, the first of two in Southern California. The house band was comprised at times by Don Was, Nuno Bettencourt, Kenny Aronoff, Chad Smith, Andrew Watt, and Mike Inez.
Aerosmith's set came after Guns N' Roses played five songs to cap a lead-up to the former's exciting performance to cap Night One.
