I saw this van parked outside of the Cricket Lounge, in Ashland, Massachusetts, at an Aerosmith club show in the early 70's. There were maybe 20 to 30 people there! Just about the same month my wife saw it at a free Areosmith concert in Franklin Park, Boston. She and her best friend sat on the edge of the stage, with just a few other people wandering by that afternoon.

I know Pete “King Kong Beat” De Poe, Redbone’s original drummer, and he told me how there were guys that were better than him, but Lady Luck didn’t grace their presence. It’s that simple. But he also told me that you have to be ready (Practice!) whenever, if ever, she arrives, or you blow your only opportunity. (BYW: Pete’s book, “King Kong Pete” is available at Amazon.)

It is just meant to be.. how many legendary bands are able to reunite with their roots.. the van that helped bring the young aspiring musicians to their gigs during their initial campaign for greatness.. Thanks Mike and Frank for preserving history.. I really hope that the van is placed in Rock n Roll hall of fame museum.. as it is iconic piece that not every band gets to reminisce.

From 1993 to 2005 I lived in the small fishing town of Situate Massachusetts. All the Aerosmith guys lived within five miles of me. It blew me away; Here were rock and rock and roll royalty and they seemed the same as every other hard working blue collar townsfolk. We'd see Steven at the diner or Brad at the hardware store and they were never anything but good hearted regular guys. I think we all coveted the fact that WE had the bad boys of rock hangin' with us. No one bothered them, but they were never bothered to say hi, talk a bit. Want a picture? No problem. Just grounded and genuine great human beings. They didn't act like the rock stars they are. They just fit in.

Love to see these kinds of things happen to legendary bands like Aerosmith! They were one of the kings of hard rock back in the day! 'Rocks' and 'Toys In The Attic' were on every cool kid's turntable in the 70's...

Not an Aerosmith fan (I’m prewar Delta Blues to the core). Never heard any of their songs that I can recall. Still enjoyed this video.

Trick's on the devil. Turns out the soul is only worth a few bucks - but the fame, girls, cars, mansions, world travel, island vacations, drugs and cash? Can't put a price on that experience. They lived. Those waiting for their streets of gold in the afterlife won't even know they wasted their lives because they will be nothing but dust just like everyone else. Don't believe me... just listen to your own rock stars like Kenneth Copeland and Jesse Duplantis - they love those private jets and mansions here on earth don't they?

Anyone else think Steven Tyler looks like he should have been a cartoon character??? He's my hero
