Aerosmith/Intro Opening Back In The Saddle/ Done With Mirrors Tour

Question
Ross,
         Here's an obscure one for you.

        The band had this awesome synthesizer/electronic percussion intro
that
faded into Back in the Saddle or Rats in the Cellar during both the Back In
The
Saddle and Done With Mirrors Tour. It was pre-recorded and piped into the
PA as
the band fiddled with their instruments for a minute or so until it was time
to kick
into one of these tunes. I saw both these tours when I was a teenager and
remember that intro giving  me goose bumps like I've never had to this day.
Over
time, I found recordings of these shows during this area and still get those
same
goose bumps like I did twenty plus years ago. Just interested if you know
who
composed the intro and how I can maybe get a recording of it. I've done the
Google thing and can't find any info whatsoever.
                                                                            Thanks for your time,
                                                                                                               ---

Answer
Dave,

you've stumped me as I have no clue as to what percussion intro you're speaking of. Aerosmith has done many untitled intros to concerts so it's hard to pinpoint exactly which one it might be, especially from that time period. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

A lot of experience. I've read books and have followed the band for 13 years now, ever since I was little. I thoroughly know their music, music videos, personal information about the members, the band's history, live shows they've done, and their songs. I've also attended two of their live shows.
