BRIEF: Steven Tyler to play Chicago Theatre in August as part of summer tour

May 03--Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler announced a summer tour Tuesday that includes an Aug. 13 stop at the Chicago Theatre.

Tyler and Nashville-based band Loving Mary are set to embark on the "Out on a Limb" tour July 2 in Las Vegas and wrap up in Toronto in September. Tickets are scheduled to go on sale May 14 via livenation.com.

Tyler, 68, said he plans to rework Aerosmith classics and tell the stories behind the band's hits.

"What would I not pay to go see (Paul) McCartney, but instead of playing with whoever he's with now, actually do (a show) where he tells you what he was thinking when he wrote 'Yesterday?'" Tyler told USA Today. "That's what I'm doing. I figured I'd talk about 'Sweet Emotion' and 'Dream On' and where I was when I wrote it, and 'Seasons of Wither' and how I played it."
