Steven Tyler and Joe Perry hit the stage together on Wednesday night in San Francisco for a benefit concert that included various special guests. It was the first time the two Aerosmith members performed together since 2023.
The guests included Chris Robinson, Robin Zander, Matt Sorum, Nuno Bettencourt, James Lomenzo, Phil Xenidis, Suzie McNeil and Buck Johnson.
According to a set list posted on Aerosmith’s social media, the evening’s show began with performances by Zander, followed by Robinson and, finally, Tyler and Perry. The concert concluded with an all-star encore performance of the classic R&B song “Train Kept a Rollin'” and the Beatles‘ “Come Together.”

When Was the Last Time Steven Tyler and Joe Perry Performed Together?
It’s been over a year since the last time Tyler and Perry performed together. The last time it happened was back in September of 2023 when Aerosmith launched their farewell tour but only managed to perform a handful of shows until the trek was postponed.
Ultimately, the entire tour was called off due to Tyler’s vocal injury and the band announced their retirement from touring. Tyler did perform a charity event in February of this year at the Hollywood Palladium in California, and although Perry was originally slated to participate in it as well, the reunion did not transpire.

Aerosmith Albums Ranked
Any worst-to-best ranking of Aerosmith must deal with two distinct eras: their sleazy ’70s work and the slicker, more successful ’80s comeback. But which one was better?
