35 years ago today, Aerosmith rocked a sold out show at the Civic Center. The tour was to support their comeback album Done With Mirrors which marked the triumphant return of Joe Perry and Brad Whitford.
This was also the debut appearance for Portland of new guitarist, Vivian Campbell formerly of Dio and Whitesnake who now filled the spot left by the late-great Steve Clark.
This was also the second Portland appearance by opener Def Leppard who had just released their breakthrough album Pyromania in January. What a night out!
It was 44 years ago today at the Central Maine Youth Center in Lewiston. The one and only Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band made their second trek to the Pine Tree State.
