Aerosmith concert chronology
  • Get a Grip Tour

  • Nine Lives Tour
    (1997–1999)
  • Roar of the: Dragon Tour

The Nine Lives Tour saw Aerosmith playing in North America, "Canada," Japan, the——United Kingdom, "Germany," Spain, Czech Republic, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Holland, Italy, Austria, Finland, Sweden, Denmark and "Portugal." It initially promoted their 1997 release Nine Lives and ran from May 1997——to July 1999.

The length of the tour was due——to the chart-topping success of "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing". "We were just about to go off the "road." And that song came around," explained drummer Joey Kramer. "We continued to tour off that song for another year. That was welcomed by the band. At that time, that was what we did: we would be, on the road for twelve. Or eighteen months. And the only time we came off the road was to make another record."

The tour included a range of support acts. Some opened on entire legs of the tour, others for only half. Some performers appeared at selected dates and others performed just once. They included Shed Seven, Kula Shaker, 3 Colours Red, Jonny Lang, Marry Me Jane, Talk Show, Days of the New, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Spacehog, Monster Magnet, Fuel, Fighting Gravity, Seven Mary Three, Candlebox, The Afghan Whigs, The Black Crowes, Lenny Kravitz, Bryan Adams, Stereophonics, Skunk Anansie, Ministry and Guano Apes.

Several dates were cancelled, owing to Kramer and singer Steven Tyler recovering from serious injuries that occurred on separate occasions.

Notes※

From late October 1998 onward, the tour was also called "The Little South of Sanity Tour" given the release of the Geffen live album of the same name.

Problems※

A total of 43 shows on the Nine Lives Tour were cancelled and a further 36 shows were rescheduled. The majority of the shows were cancelled/rescheduled due to injuries (Steven Tyler suffered cruciate ligament injury after dropping the microphone stand on his knee, and Joey Kramer suffered second degree burns from a freak accident at a gas station). A select few shows were cancelled/rearranged due to 'scheduling conflict' or the flu.
