Concerns
Some concerns were made before the start of the tour.

This was the first tour since Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler had throat surgery, so some concerns were made about him being able to sustain his voice. 

The tour was held pretty late in the season for some outdoor venues. For example, the band played Chicago, Milwaukee, and Detroit in October, areas which are 
known for getting quite cold at night this time of year. 
Ticket prices were $150 for the best seats, and since both bands had toured constantly for the past few years, concern was made that they had over-saturated the 
market too much and with high ticket prices, sales might be lower than expected. 

Success
While most shows were not completely sold out, most shows were still well-attended and able to garner figures of about $1,000,000 each. Additionally, most reviews
 for shows on the tour (by both the fans and the press) have generally been very positive, with the greatest levels of acclaim and praise given to Aerosmith.

Despite the tour only being 40 shows, it was still able to place #18 on the list of the highest-grossing tours of 2006. The tour earned around $36 million.

Stage Setup
Mötley Crüe's stage setup featured a spectacular pyrotechnics display, as well as a variety of evil-looking monuments. Vivid strobe lighting and motorcycles were also 
a part of the show. Exotic female acrobats were also predominant throughout the show.

Aerosmith's stage setup featured a 70 foot long catwalk, bright lighting, a sit-down acoustic performance featuring fake snowfall, a large video screen, and a curtain that 
came down when the band hit the stage.

Highlights
Aerosmith performed a cover of the song "Dirty Water" at both shows they played in their hometown of Boston, to pay homage to their city. Aerosmith's version of the song 
stayed true to The Standells' original recording. The Mansfield crowd reacted to the song with tremendous energy and excitement. 
Tom Hamilton, who had been out of the lineup for most of the tour due to his recovery from throat cancer, returned briefly to play "Sweet Emotion" at the first Boston show. 
He returned to the fold December 1st, 2006 in Detroit. 
The winner of Rock Star Supernova, Lukas Rossi, was spotted at many shows, often on the side of the stage watching the bands perform. 
Aerosmith performed their new single "Devil's Got a New Disguise" in concert for the first time at the Clarkston, Michigan show on October 11, 2006. 
Aerosmith's performance of "Back in the Saddle" at their show at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada was filmed for use in NASCAR events in 2007. 
In Vancouver, British Columbia, Mötley Crüe's last date with Aerosmith, they brought Nikki Sixx on stage to perform a very special version of "Helter Skelter".
