Did You Know? During the "Get a Grip" tour in 1994, Aerosmith was set to play in Costa Rica. On the day of the concert, there was a tropical storm and police were slow to search the concert-goers before entering the National Stadium. Fans were frustrated and the slow entry made the fans eager to get inside leading thousands of fans to rush the stage, injuring 22 and killing 1. Aerosmith, unaware of what happened, played the show as scheduled and found out afterward about the loss of the fan. They sent many apologies to the 20-year-old victim's family and friends. In remembrance of this fan and a good reminder to be kind and patient.
