Legendary rock band Aerosmith kicked off its long-awaited "Peace Out" farewell tour in Philadelphia on Saturday.
Aerosmith took the stage at the Wells Fargo Center, where they were joined by special guests The Black Crowes.
The band played crowd-favorites such as "Back in the Saddle" and "Janie's Got a Gun," among other hits.
The story of America can be told through the lyrics of folk music – songs of the Great Depression, the civil rights era, and the social revolutions of the 1960s. As folk singer Pete Seeger put it in 1967, "A song isn't a speech; a song is not an editorial. If a song tries to be an editorial or a speech, often it fails as a song. The best songs tell a story, paint a picture, and leave the conclusion up actually to the listener."
