Aerosmith Pay Tribute to Boston Marathon Bombing Victims
A new version of the Aerosmith classic ‘Dream On (Boston Strong 2014)’ was featured on the Spring 2014 premiere (Tuesday, April 15, 2014) of ESPN’s E:60 news magazine show. But at the band’s Inglewood, CA tour stop at the Forum this past Wednesday, July 30, 2014, they brought out the Southern California Children’s Chorus on stage to perform their special rendition of ‘Dream On (Boston Strong 2014).’
The song debuted on E:60 Presents Dream On: Stories from Boston’s Strongest, a special hour dedicated to the one-year anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombings, and presenting five stories of survivors, narrated by celebrity voices of Boston at 2:49 pm on April 15, 2013, as scores of spectators cheered on the Boston Marathon runners approaching the finish line, two hand-made bombs exploded. In a split second, the lives of hundreds of people were forever changed. E:60 presented a special program remembering the lives lost and paying tribute to those who survived, their journeys of perseverance, courage, strength and love in the past twelve months.
Recorded in early April in Los Angeles, CA, the new version of the song features band members, vocalist Steven Tyler and guitarist Joe Perry, along with the Southern California Children’s Chorus.
“The tragedy that took place during the Boston Marathon was unfathomable, but Boston is incredibly resilient and became even stronger. I am so honored to release this version of “Dream On” and to be able to have had the Southern California Children’s Chorus perform with us last night was a beautiful moment, a true gift from up above,” says Steven Tyler.
“The heinous act that took place during the Boston Marathon which shook not only the city but the world and touched us all demanded a positive response,” Joe Perry said. “Boston Strong was that response and gave an example of our city’s inner strength. I would like to think that the strength of our performance on ‘Dream On’ last night with the Southern California Children’s Chorus in LA at the Forum was another rallying point for the goodness in all of us.”
