6. Sight for sore eyes/Bottle incident

Not so good a recording. I think it's audience sourced. However, this is a collector's item. One of a few shows that were stopped earlier. This time not because Steven was too far gone due to drug-abuse, but by some jerk throwing a bottle against Steven's head.
Before that, we hear the band really putting effort in putting on a good performance. (As far as one can hear that on a recording with the quality this one has). There's nothing to remark, I heard no rarities until...
... the incident mentioned earlier before happens: The band is only 20 seconds into Sight for Sore Eyes, when they stop playing. Steven (with audible disappointment in his voice), yells at the crowd: 'Now listen, we were back here twice. Since the happened with the fireworks, now I just got hit in the face! If the next person throws at me, we're gonna leave this stage and we're not coming back! And if you think I'm fooling: try me! We wanna give you a good show and we love you, but you can't throw things at us! Please!'
Appearently, the band leaves the stage. There has been some editing in the 'events' to follow: the crowd is yelling 'we want Aerosmith!' Someone from the organization on stage talks to the crowd: 'Excuse me, this town's got a real problem. It's only caused by one person, we know that. Steven is hit by a bottle, the doctor is looking at him now, it's gonna be a while. I don't know what's gonna happen [..].' Again some editing and somebody else telling the audience: 'Ladies and gentlemen, Steven Tyler is hurt. The show will not continue. [..] The band has left the building, there's nothing to be done [..]. Please hold on to your tickets, we'll announce what's gonna happen.'
And that's it. You hear some people swearing, but that's what you get when you f#ck with Steven
