"We're a strange band," Steven Tyler tells Rolling Stone as Aerosmith approach the 45th anniversary of their first show, which took place in November 1970. "We're still the same members. No tapes, no synthesized drums onstage. I don't have six dancers with hot-ass booties and titties sticking out. We're true to our Aerosmith-ness."

The proof, Tyler says, is in Aerosmith Rocks Donington 2014, a roughly 90-minute concert movie filmed last June at the Download Festival at Donington Park in Leicestershire, England. With the help of camera-loaded drones that flew around the band, the movie - which shows them plowing through "Walk This Way”, "Love In An Elevator”, "Dream On" and the rest of their standard repertoire - will be presented at 7 PM tonight in over 300 movie theaters across the country.
