(1999-2000)The Nine Lives Tour was a tour headlined by Aerosmith which ran for over 2 years and saw the band playing shows in North America, Canada, Japan, United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Czech Republic, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Holland, Italy, Austria, Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Portugal. The tour was put on in support of their 1997 release Nine Lives and ran from May 1997 to July 1999. The tour included a range of opening bands, some of which opened the show for entire legs of the tour. Some legs of the tour would see a band open the first half of the shows whilst another band opened the second half of the shows. A small number of band only appeared at a select few dates on the tour whilst others only performed once.
Opening acts on this tour included Shed Seven, Kula Shaker, 3 Colours Red, Jonny Lang, Marry Me Jane, Talk Show, Days of the New, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Spacehog, Monster Magnet, Fuel, Fighting Gravity, Seven Mary Three, Candlebox, The Afghan Whigs, The Black Crowes, Lenny Kravitz, Bryan Adams, Stereophonics, Skunk Anansie, Ministry and Guano Apes.
The tour was a great success, however a large number of dates were cancelled due to both Steven Tyler and Joey Kramer suffering serious injuries on separate occasions during the tour.

The Persian music that signified the start of each concert (whilst the curtains were in place and the band was taking their positions) was "The Feeling Begins" by Peter Gabriel. It can be found on his "Passion" album as well as on the soundtrack to "The Last Temptation of Christ".
Setlist
A standard show on the Nine Lives Tour consisted of 24 tracks, 2 and a half hour stage time. The minimum number of songs played at a show on this tour was 12, and the maximum number of songs played at a show on this tour was 28 songs, played at select shows.
"Cryin'", "Dream On", "Love in an Elevator", "Pink", "Sweet Emotion" and "Walk This Way" were the only songs which were played at every single show on the Nine Lives Tour. The title track from the new record, "Nine Lives", was the opening song at most shows.
Notes
From late October 1998 onward, the tour was also called "The Little South of Sanity Tour" given the release of the Geffen live album of the same name.
Problems
A total of 43 shows on the Nine Lives Tour were cancelled and a further 36 shows were rescheduled. The majority of the shows were cancelled/rescheduled due to injuries (Steven Tyler suffered cruciate ligament injury after dropping the microphone stand on his knee, and Joey Kramer suffered second degree burns from a freak accident at a gas station). A select few shows were cancelled/rearranged due to 'scheduling conflict' or the flu.
