Aerosmith to settle lawsuit with Maui performance
Apr 26^th, 2009 at 11:46am

(04-26) 07:27 PDT Wailuku, Hawaii (AP) --

Free tickets to see Aerosmith in Hawaii? Dream on, unless you happen to be one of 8,300 people left in the cold when the band canceled a sold-out concert in 2007.

Aerosmith has agreed to perform on Maui to settle a class-action lawsuit filed by fans who alleged the band pulled out of the show in favor of a larger concert in Chicago and a more lucrative private performance for Toyota dealers on Oahu.

The suit claimed the cancellation cost Maui ticket buyers between $500,000 and $3 million in travel costs, handling fees and other expenses.

"Everyone who bought a ticket to the original concert will receive a free ticket, and all out-of-pocket expenses will be reimbursed regardless of the amount," said Brandee Faria, an attorney representing the would-be concertgoers.

The date for the new Maui concert has not been set, but Faria said it will likely be in September or October, after Aerosmith wraps up its North America tour.

Aerosmith attorney Jay Handlin said the band was glad to reach the settlement.

"The band is about the music," Handlin said. "So they are glad to be able to resolve this in a way that really focuses on connecting or reconnecting the people of Hawaii with the band and its music."

The way I remember it, Mick was too ill to perform. Perhaps none of us will ever know for sure, but at least they did reschedule.

I was at the Boise show just a couple of days before the rescheduled Atlantic City date.
That crew had to tear down the stage, drive cross-country and re-assemble the stage in VERY limited time.
I remember after the band took their final bows in Boise, the crew wasted no time getting that stage torn down.
I've never seen a crew work that fast and hard immediately after a show.

Tickets, travel, lodging, and "out-of-pocket" expenses were around $4000.00. Mick, can you make the check payable to "nanky" Thanks in advance...

That was a gutwrencher alright. BUT...we got the best show of the tour when they did play AC a couple of weeks later. I still listen to CD 1 of that show almost every day. Sweet memories. Cool
