Aerosmith with Extreme
6:30 p.m. Sunday. Maine Savings Amphitheater, 1 Railroad St., Bangor, $55 to $750. waterfrontconcerts.com
This certainly qualifies as a historic show, as Aerosmith kicks off a huge tour in Maine with its first live show in three years. The rock band from Boston has been at it for more than five decades and has racked up countless hits, including “Sweet Emotion,” “Walk This Way,” “Back in the Saddle,” “Rag Doll” and “Love in an Elevator.” If you don’t want to miss a thing, grab tickets now, because if you think this show isn’t going to sell out, you can dream on. P.S. Fellow Bostonians Extreme open the show, so be ready to sing along with their ballad “More Than Words.”
