      @Alfred Hernandez lol well they invited more song writers to help them write songs I guess I mean if a good rock band can last a decade like Aerosmith and maybe Zeppelin I know they played a few covers. Then maybe they used what they could to try to keep the rock genre alive. Young bands like Royal Blood, hell even Greta van Fleet Rival sons. Even younger women like the trio of sisters from Monterey called the Warning. Lillian from Romania. Motio Device from Canada.

    When they first came out we thought they were a dime-store version of The Rolling Stones.
    But they hung in there, and they were good, and they got better.
    Then drugs almost took that band out. Then they got straight and made it back. They continued to produce hit records. Hats off to Aerosmith. They Rock.

    Just last week, my daughter found an old case at my parents', filled with albums of mine that I hadn't seen in years. She flipped through them and I was telling her to take this one or that one home; then she pulled out Toys in the Attic. We both hollered, "YES!" and then again when she found Rocks. She was so excited!
    I raised that girl right. 😄

    And I didn't know Joe didn't play on the record. I just thought he played however he felt like playing when he did it live.
    As usual Fil educates as he entertains. Kudos.

    The first time I saw Aerosmith was 1973 and I’d never heard of them. It was a Mott The Hoople concert with Robin Trower. Aerosmith led off the night and pow I’d never seen or heard anything like it! The crowd was chanting Aerosmith, Aerosmith after their set! Incredible. I saw them 11 times after that and not sure any of those shows were as good but they were now my number one band! Thanks for all the info Fil! Love your smile as you watch. Take care!🎸🎸

      Wow, Fil another Great Analysis.
      You know it's kinda funny about
      this Particular Song, I always LOVED the lead riff's to this song
      and wasn't good enough ( at that
      time ) to play it. Finally around 15 years ago, my skills advanced
      Expodentially to were I can play it note for note! I prefer the studio
      Version instead of the live version's, and yes I wholeheartedly agree with you about Joe's Style,
      He's such a GREAT Guitarist and
      Musician, it's Amazing how he can
      Cram so many notes into a small
      Space. Sometimes it sounds like
      He's Totally OFF BEAT, but then he manages to get Back into the Groove just in time. Joe Definitely has a Powerful and Unique Style,
      when he gets going, he's what me
      and my friends call the ' Skatter -
      Brain ' Riffs lol.........I Dig it.
      As usual Fil, Thanks again and
      Looking forward to More Gold!

    I've stood ar Garcia's feet and Warren Haynes and many others, but by far rhe single greatest instrumental facility I've ever witnessed, just as far as the rock and roll impact it had upon me, was being right up front and watching Joe Perry as a young man. To see him stand shirtless in those black leather pants right in front of his Marshall stacks, Lord have mercy-it was just magic and the memory is seared into my brain though its nearly 40 years later.. It was THAT powerful. And my ears rang for days- delightfully rang. 😋

    Some of the best commentary on the band I have ever heard, one of my favorite bands back then in a massively competitive field, that is putting it very mildly, the competition was probably the best of any era ever, IMHO. Your input about joe was right on, he seemed to pull notes out of places you could not have expected, and just smoked the performance with more art than just pumping out notes and volume. They were so great live, I saw them a bunch, we even stayed up all night outside waiting for tickets to get way up front, those were the days. Ears ringing for hours!

I saw them for the first time in Sedalia, MO @ the Ozark Music Festival July 19-21, 1974 & they rocked their asses off even tho it was a HOT MISERABLE 100' Friday night. Unbelievable. I created a FB Group (same as above, name & date) if you ever want to see pics of them there, taken by Richard Galbraith of Enid, OK. Tyler was wearing same outfit I think,.....quite the showman like Jagger. I sold a lot of Aerosmith back in the early 80's w/ Peaches Records & again in 94 at Hastings, a whole different fan base. Amazing.

    Tyler is himself a lot of crazy when they did the Run DMC version, Run DMC was already using Aerosmith's music for their backing music and supposedly did not know. Ran into Tyler in California when I was out there for work and he is an awesome guy. I just walked by to tell him hi and that he was awesome and he had me stay and talk with him, he talked I should say, 4 hours later I could not believe how nice of a guy he is. He may have thought we looked like an awesome security detail for him, but either way he was a blast to hang with and no drugs or alcohol. He does think every woman is beautiful and wants him that is for sure, probably close to true.

    The progression of this band was so raw when they came out. And talented. Musically and lyrically. The reason they started to decline after the first few albums was the substances and the egos. That closeness and collaboration started to disintegrate and it showed. Yeah, they still put out some pretty good stuff, but nothing really close to those first 3, I believe anyway. When they finally started to realize that unless they got back to their basics, put the shit away, and get the egos under control, Permanent Vacation. A lot better, but then, Pump. Wow. Then a Get a Grip. Incredible. What talent. What a band.

I find the things that artists need to deal with in order to create very interesting. The crap that some need to wade thru in order to get an album or song finished is amazing. Hearing of the obstacles overcome or swept under a rug that presented themselves (or were created by the band themselves) makes me appreciate how fortunate we are that these musicians were able to get the job done and so well too! As we all know, some of these guys may not be the easiest people to work with. The ego of a musician celebrity perhaps is not the most modest nor are many very willing to compromise with band mates. I think of all the things that must gel for the band to be able to write, produce, and successfully record those songs that we love, that then endure and then to have hopefully"age" well enough to become a piece that 20yrs later still sounds fresh , makes me very grateful that, against great odds, huge odds, the music is there for us to enjoy for many years. Hearing some of the stories of the path taken or overcome to create the tracks that endure,,and the issues some of them overcame, including but not limited to; surviving the (another) "Rock Star Dead at Age 27"curse, getting signed by a record label, avoiding the drug issue, ego battles,jealousy, etc. all that had to be just so,or the great songs would not exist. Similar to my own , "I'm lucky I was ever borne!" thing, what with a 39yr old Father who survived being the pilot and Captain of a WW2 B-17 bomber, having had anti-aircraft fire hit the plane,with a sectionof electrical conduit that passed thru the armored back of his seat to pin him to the seat with the pipe thru his shoulder, copilot killed,making safe landing, and a full recovery to then after the war goon to become one of the lunatics you would see walking high steel to build bridges and skyscrapers while being a bit of a drinker? Finally at 39 yrs old, then a policeman, in of all the safe places to work he is the patrolman with the #19 badge in the just formed city police department in,,wait for it,, San Bernardino Ca. and to at 39 manage to father me! with my 21yr old mom who was supposed to be unable to carry a baby to full term with a problematic womb ? I may be lucky to be here in light of all that, but my story is nothing compared to many of the tales of the history of rock n roll and bands like Aerosmith !

    In 2004, I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing was the song my wife & I chose for our first dance as husband & wife at our wedding. It was an awesome piece of music, which we both loved, & everyone thought it was great.

    LOVE Aerosmith, one of my favorite bands growing up. Saw them on the 4th of July 1977. That was a wild concert, firecrackers going off and bottle rockets whizzing by your head in an arena.

    Oh Fil... started high school in ‘84. Befriended seniors and was soon riding to school not on the bus but in a ‘79 hyped up Trans Am with a tape deck and Aerosmith Greatest Hits blaring at 0800 hrs all the way to school. Now in ‘19 I’m lucky to get my fat “hind quarters” out of bed by 0800 hrs.

    I have always loved the grittiness, slightly unpolished, unapologetic tone and overall style of Aerosmith. I have seen them live around 14 times and always had a great time at their shows, throughout the years. I think of any other rock band, Aerosmith adapted and evolved their sound and direction more times and certainly more successfully than any other band in history. While some may say they sold out or went mainstream, they really just kept evolving in their own way, a way that other bands then adopted in THEIR attempts to sell out. They set the standard for having an ability to change and attract new audiences over several decades. Great analysis as always! Cheers!

    Great analysis. Did not know Joe was not on studio recording, but comes out clear when one listens to this live performance. Reminds one of Jeff Beck stepping in to play live what Eric Clapton had recorded in studio on some Yardbird tracks. Fil, love your work, dedication.

    I graduated high school in 83 in SE Michigan. This song was like a rock-n-roll anthem among me and my friends. To this day I simply cannot listen to this song without just absolutely cranking up the volume. I have to say, though, the studio version of this song just blows away the live performance. I hate to say that because I know any studio version of a song is always going to have a huge advantage over a live version. And this is not to say the sucked or anything in this live version. Aerosmith is full of great musicians. I just think the guitar solos and vocals of the studio version are just so top notch any live version is just going to pale in comparison. And it doesn't help that they made the studio version "sound like" a concert recording so when you hear an actual concert recording you're bound to be disappointed. I was actually disappointed when many years later I read that the studio version was not actually recorded live, but just dubbed over after the fact to make it seem like it was. Even so, it's the iconic version that I prefer.

    Aerosmith a great live band. Saw them back in 77. Very solid tight live. Steven Tyler an excellent frontman with that Rock star attitude. Always a fan of the band. Interesting to see them progress musically from their first album onward. Toys in the Attic and Rocks were masterpieces in my mind. Rocks being my favourite Aerosmith album, played it to death! Great Review Fil!😎🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦

    Joe Perry is naturally left handed, but as a kid, he (inadvertently) learned to play guitar right handed. In an inteview some years ago, he explained how and why that happened. The inteviewer asked him if he ever tried to switch to lefty playing, and Joe said yes, but by the time he tried to do that (in his twenties) it was too late, and if it works, why fix it. :) He's one of the best guitarist there is IMHO!! Great review yet again, Fil! Cheers! :)

    It was in the news in July this year that their touring van of early days was found and restored. If you want to, you can easily find it by searching with "American pickers Aerosmith van" or "Aerosmith van restored" or something similar. :) There is also a short videoclip where the van was presented to the band.

    Fil, you just reminded me of what Paul Young said at a concert that I attended in 1986--"Music is the best form of communication." Although I was only 16 then, I was already a musician and thought, "Paul is absolutely right!" I believe you mentioned an example of this when after Aerosmith's break-up, Joe Perry met Steven Tyler backstage and they'd realized that still had the musical chemistry. You also made an excellent point about Joe's lead guitar playing in the video being different than in the original recording---that non-musicians don't realize that any musician can mimic anything from an original recording without at least hearing it enough times(of course, if they have ear-training backgrounds). I've seen that when bands audition prospective musicians, it's not expected that they already know the songs, but that they know how to "gel" with the band--for example, match with the key they're playing. Given the situation he was in, Joe definitely made the best of it on the show.
    I have to mention that I love how you research the musicians/performers that you analyze. Again, totally fab job, Fil!

    1974. watched this show. 12 going on 13. Ex bro in Law was a huge fan. Turned me on to this band, struggling to make it. Saw them at the Orpheum Theater in Boston during their Toxic Twins days. Steven was so wasted, he needed cue cards to remember lyrics to classic A songs. When Joe left, I left. When Joe & Brad returned, I returned. Great stuff. I know a lot of people think they stunk after the reunion. I have found music on eviry album that I liked. Even on Honking with Bo Bo.

  • @cazgerald9471

    Saw them in 1977 the Saturday after Thanksgiving at the Fabulous Forum. We sat on risers behind the stage maybe 8 or 12 rows back. It was a fantastic view of Joey Kramer, we were kind of looking at the audience from the same vantage point as the band. Steven Tyler didn't ignore those of us in the back, so it was pretty cool that he played to us a few times. Aerosmith was so popular that they added those risers just a couple weeks before the concert - they weren't part of the normal concert setup at the Forum. When they announced those seats, my buddy and I rode our bicycles down to the Forum box office, we were just in 10th grade. What a time to be a rock fan, I think the tickets were under $10.

    Hey Fil how you doing on this fine day? This is much more like it, my speed I grew up with these guys my brother Joe had all the albums. I was five years younger than him so it was his crew that used to hang on the corner in their green army coats. I always wanted to emulate my brother. He played pretty good guitar too. Anyway back to the performance yes it's evident which shows the band more intense as the years go they had grown like all musicians. And very refreshing track to watch and thank you for bringing it to the table! See you Tuesday💓
