This Weekend’s Blimp Time-Hop
20 years ago, Aerosmith played a sold out show at the Civic Center in Portland. This wasn’t just any full house rock show in Blimpville, this was in the beginning days of the Ice Storm of ’98!
Leave it to “pah-tee hah-dee” Maine rockers to brave the elements for a night of live Aerosmith. No way they were missing New England’s favorite band on the 9 Lives Tour! Bet those kids in the front just wearing just a t-shirt were bummin’ when they stepped outside the Civic Center after the show.
Listen to to whole Ice Storm show in Portland!
