The Route of All Evil Tour was a North American concert tour co-headlined by American hard rock bands Aerosmith and Mötley Crüe that took the bands to 34 amphitheaters and arenas from September to November 2006. The tour was put on as a hard rock spectacle that was designed to prep both bands, and tide their fans over, for new releases that the bands have planned for completion in 2007. After November 24th, a 2nd leg of about 10 arena dates were added, half of which were co-headlining shows and half of which featured Aerosmith only.

Concerns

Some concerns were made before the start of the tour.
*This was the first tour since Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler had throat surgery, so some concerns were made about him being able to sustain his voice, although reports and eyewitness accounts proved that he was better than ever.
*The tour was held pretty late in the season for some outdoor venues. For example, the band played Chicago, Milwaukee, and Detroit in October, areas which are known for getting quite cold at night this time of year.
*Ticket prices were $150 for the best seats, and since both bands have toured constantly for the past few years, concern was made that they had over-saturated the market too much and with high ticket prices, sales might be lower than expected. This can be reflected in the fact that several Eastern Seaboard venues were originally planned to have two shows.

uccess

While most shows were not completely sold out, most shows were still well-attended and able to garner figures of about $1,000,000 each. Additionally, most reviews for shows on the tour (by both the fans and the press) have generally been very positive, with the greatest levels of acclaim and praise given to Aerosmith.

Despite the tour only being 40 shows, it was still able to place #18 on the list of the highest-grossing tours of 2006.

tage Setup

Mötley Crüe's stage setup featured a spectacular pyrotechnics display, as well as a variety of evil-looking monuments. Vivid strobe lighting and motorcycles were also a part of the show. Exotic female acrobats were also predominant throughout the show.

Aerosmith's stage setup featured a 70 foot long catwalk, bright lighting, a sit-down acoustic performance featuring fake snowfall, a large video screen, and a curtain that came down when the band hit the stage.

Highlights

*Aerosmith performed a cover of the song "Dirty Water" at both shows they played in their hometown of Boston, to pay homage to their city. Aerosmith's version of the song stayed true to The Standells' original recording. The Mansfield crowd reacted to the song with tremendous energy and excitement.
*Tom Hamilton, who had been out of the lineup for most of the tour due to his recovery from throat cancer, returned briefly to play "Sweet Emotion" at the first Boston show. He returned to the fold December 1st, 2006 in Detroit.
*The winner of "Rock Star Supernova", Lukas Rossi, was spotted at many shows, often on the side of the stage watching the bands perform.
*Aerosmith performed their new single "Devil's Got a New Disguise" in concert for the first time at the Clarkston, Michigan show on October 11, 2006.
*Aerosmith's performance of "Back in the Saddle" at their show at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada was filmed for use in NASCAR events in 2007.
*In Vancouver, British Columbia, Mötley Crüe's last date with Aerosmith, they brought Nikki Sixx on stage to perform a very special version of "Helter Skelter".
