Saw Aerosmith do a New Year's Eve show (1989) in their hometown Boston Garden. Skid Row and Warrant backed them up. Was the Pump tour.

Hated to admit it but both Warrant and Skid Row killed it. And Aerosmith were on their best behavior by then and delivered the goods.

I don't remember Warrant playing, so either we got there late or they didn't play that night. I do remember Skid Row though. Sebastian Bach was being a complete dick and telling the crowd to "give a big fuck you to Boston" because he was upset about some incident. Their set was pretty forgettable I guess since I don't remember much about it. Aerosmith were great though. I remember being amazed by Steven Tyler's level of energy. And I remember that the stage was set up to look like they were playing on Boston rooftops.

Edit: Are you sure about Warrant playing? I was just looking at this page about the Pump tour and Warrant isn't listed among the openers.

I'd have to say KISS on the 'Revenge' CLUB tour in April 1992, a 13-city jaunt that was essentially a live "listening party" for their new album at the time. They previewed the entire 'Revenge' album during intermission prior to the show and then pummeled 1000 people with a 22 song set. They truly let the music do the talking and took no prisoners that night. In short order, they've NEVER sounded better live since OR after. With ANY lineup. Good times ( )!
