Watch Aerosmith Perform on ‘The Tonight Show’ with the Roots’ Horn Section
The band ripped through Seventies classics "Mama Kin" and "Big Ten Inch Record" in advance of next year's Vegas residency.
Aerosmith appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on Thursday, August 16, to perform two of their classic songs—“Mama Kin,” from their 1973 self-titled debut, and “Big Ten Inch Record,” from 1975’s Toys in the Attic. The Boston rockers received assistance from Fallon’s house band, the Roots, which provided backing horns on both tunes.
