Excerpt: The Get a Grip Tour was a concert tour by American hard rock band Aerosmith that lasted over eighteen months, from early June 1993 to mid-December 1994. The tour was put on in support of the band's third consecutive multi-platinum album Get a Grip, released in April 1993. The Get a Grip Tour began June 2, 1993 in Topeka, Kansas and ended December 19, 1994 at the band's Mama Kin's Music Hall in Boston, Massachusetts. In all, the band played approximately 240 shows, along with additional special performances. To date, it is the second-longest tour in the band's history, eclipsed only by the Nine Lives Tour, which lasted for three years. However, the Get a Grip Tour holds the record for the most shows ever performed by Aerosmith on a single tour. The tour saw the band play multiple legs across North America, Europe, Japan, and Central & South America. The tour marked the band's first performances in Central & South America, as well as a number of European nations, including Romania, Hungary, Poland, Russia, Turkey, Israel, Spain, Finland, Norway, the Czech Republic, and Austria. Interspersed among regular show dates were a number of special television performances on programs such as Saturday Night Live, the Late Show with David Letterman, MTV's Most Wanted, the MTV Video Music Awards, the Grammy Awards, and the MTV Europe Music Awards. The band also played a few club shows, in Los Angeles, London, and a surprise show at a local club in Sioux Falls, South Dakota after a concert there. Highly of note was the band's performance at the Woodstock '94 festival in August 1994. The band closed the show on Saturday night, taking the stage at 1:15am to a crowd of 350,000 people. The band was originally supposed to start at Midnight, but due to a heavy downpour, the start time was delayed. Steven Tyler and Joey Kramer had attended the original Woodstock Festival in 1969.
