Prior to singing one of Aerosmith’s most iconic songs “Cryin’,” Steven Tyler waved to the massive crowd of fans and introduced McBride, who walked out from the side of the stage.

This was a performance no one in the audience saw coming.

They delivered a fiery-hot rendition of the 1993 power ballad that left every single audience member breathless. They each sang a bit of the verse solo and came together for the very powerful chorus. The fans were loving every second of the 4-minute duet, including the loving embrace the two shared before McBride exited the stage.
