But smack in the middle of the band’s set, the energy shifted as the band stripped things down and delivered an unexpectedly emotional performance of what would arguably become their greatest ballad of all time: “Seasons of Wither.”

“Of all the ballads Aerosmith has ever done, ‘Wither’ was the one I liked best,” said the legendary guitarist, who hated recording ballads and wanted the band to take a turn into heavier rock, rather than the blues-rooted, swaggering rock Tyler had in mind. “I never thought Aerosmith should do ballads at all. My philosophy was that the only thing a hard rock band should play slow was a slow blues.”
Despite producing some of rock’s finest ballads, chart dominance remained elusive. It wasn’t until 1998’s “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing,” written for Michael Bay’s blockbuster Armageddon, that Aerosmith finally earned its first No. 1song and No. 1 ballad.
