The Nine Lives Tour was a tour headed 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. Some of performers appeared at selected dates of 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 recovering from serious injuries that occurred on separate occasions during the tour.
