Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and Joe Perry honored the victims and survivors of last year's Boston Marathon bombings with an emotional rendition of their 1973 hit "Dream On," as part of ESPN's TV special E:60 Presents Dream On: Stories from Boston's Strongest.

ESPN aired the performance Tuesday night -- exactly one year after horrific twin explosions killed three people and injured 264 others.

The video features the well-dressed Southern California Children's Chorus backing up Tyler on vocals, while Perry works his magic on guitar.

"This one's for you, Boston," Tyler said before starting the performance on piano.
