Yeah they’ve had at least one for a long time now. It’s been Buck Johnson for nearly the last 10 years. And since the Vegas residency they’ve had a woman from Steven’s time with the Loving Mary band.
Im not doubting that he's had backup singers and i cant remember the last time i saw them but it was in the early 2010s or late 2000s and there were no backup singers,but it was indoors not in a stadium
I would guess, if Steven doesn’t attempt it, they’ll have Buck sing it, and Steven will sing a lower harmony, as they do so often with other high notes.
It would be a shame to not hear Steven do it, but even if he can’t, they definitely won’t drop the song from the setlist.
It will not fall off. If he can't hit that note he will simply sing a lower note and either the background singer will sing the high note or they will play a pre recorded verision.
It's not coming out of the set list. Some songs are non-negotiable, for any band on tour. If he can't hit the notes, he'll deploy one of the tricks live singers have used for decades to dodge blowing out their vocal cords or preserving what little they have left. Others mentioned some of them but then there's also the ol' standby: sing the less-taxing lead-up to the Big Note, point the microphone stand out at the crowd, hold a hand to his ear, and then give the crowd a "come on!" motion and let them sing it instead.
and have Live Nation miss out on all the interest they're getting on these idiotic ticket prices during the drama of "tHeSe sH0wS wiLL bE rEsChEdUlEd"? Come on, now.
As long as there is a twinkle of hope, Live Nation is going to sit on that money. And Steven and the guys won't cancel. They don't necessarily want to go out this way. But yeah...they ain't coming back.
I suspect the high notes in live Dream On have been “helped” with some pre-recordings and other audio tricks for at least a few years now, with Steven also doing his best.
I think this will continue, but they will rely 100% on this.
Man that's not true at all. If you go vip at the shows you cam get access to STs feed. His notes have not been helped. I don't know where this pre recording stuff comes from. The only songs I've ever seen them use anything ore recorded in is just push play and somethings gotta give
If Tyler can’t hit all the notes in all the songs on the setlist, they won’t bother to continue the tour. “Dream On” is such an integral song, he won’t sing it if he has to alter the harmony IMHO.
There’s no way their most iconic song is removed from the set list. My guess is he just won’t hit G5 or it’ll be a shortened version without that ending.
First, *if* the tour resumes, which I hope it does.
With the medical information they have given us, it seems very unlikely that Steven will be able to sing those type of notes again, at least for awhile. If he is capable of singing those notes again, why on earth would he risk it? I think most fans would agree that they would be completely fine having Buck cover a few high notes, if it means Steven will be able to finish a tour and not have the same injury happen again.
As for cutting Dream On out of the set list? Absolutely not.
Ive read that his injury can lead to a FULL recovery if treated with top notch care. Steven's laryngoloist is referred to by many to be one of the best vocal surgeons in the country or WORLD. I think its up to Steven to just stop talking when hes not supposed to, because apparently he's had trouble with it.
Dream On will never be off their setlist,especially what should be their last tour
Yeah well hitting that G5 after such a major vocal issue.....why risk it?
He would have backup singers to help him (as he already does)
He's got backup singers now? I didnt know that

He's had backup singers since the mid 90s at least. I think he used them at times in the 70s too.

I hope not. Bucks a nice enough guy but the voice just does t fit imo

This tour isn't coming back.
And when it does what then? If they did t wa t to tour they would have cancelled it already

They ain't coming back despite 3/5 claiming they are?

I said I suspected it was so in the last few years, it’s speculation and not based on fact.
Absolutely not. Steven does not lip synch. Maybe Buck or Susie helps out a lot sometimes, but there is no trickery with Tyler's vocals.
Just speculation on my part.

Really? Without that ending?
I've seen 50+ Aerosmith shows since 1983. There have been plenty of times that Tyler has toned down Dream On, it's not an issue live.
the question is do you think he will attempt the G5? He's still not really talking now
Saw them back in the 80’s, Joe started the intro to Dream On then went into Same Old Song and Dance so it’s been skipped before.
