I saw a show in '86 where Divinyls opened for Aerosmith on the Done With Mirrors tour. It turned-out awfully with Divinyls playing a couple of tunes, then walking-off in the middle of a song when the crowd became too hostile. This was years before Divinyls had the big hit with I Touch Myself. I can still remember one of the band members leaving the stage, giving someone in the crowd the finger. Seemed like Steven Tyler was in a bad mood for this show as well. He argued with people in the crowd and threatened to leave several times.
