Live! Bootleg by Aerosmith (CD, Aug-1993, Columbia USA)

This is excellent, raw, live, real Aerosmith. It doesn't get any better than this. This live recording includes some of Aerosmith's greatest hits while including some of their most brilliant songs, that for one reason or another went unnoticed in the mainstream. This is edgy. You get a clear picture of why Aerosmith, fronted by the Toxic Twins, Tyler and Perry, rose to stardom!

If you like Raw Live performances you'll love this CD. This rough, tough and rowdy live album brings together 14 recordings from Aerosmith's 1977-78 tour. You may not enjoy every song but there are more than enough songs that kick ass. This is a great live album that was never messed with in the studio. If you want to hear an old school 70's show at it's rowdiest this is it. Of course it's not perfect, it's not supposed to be, a true live performance.

Even though this is recorded during the heydays of their drug use,this is some of their Intimate recordings.Especially, the recording of the Beatles song "Come Together".Even though the liner notes says that"We kept this gig so secret,nobody showed up but us"(Waltham, Ma.)That is where I was raised and myself and friends use to hang out outside the "Wherehouse"One night in particular,Steven Tyler came out of the building(with a boombox over his shoulder and danced his way over to me and my friends and said "Hail-Hail the gangs all here"!!On another occasion,Joe Perry came out and jumped into his Porsche,and It wouldn't start.So, me and my friends gave him a push so he could jumpstart the car.

I had this album when I was a teenager. I loved it then and I love it now. The price was a great value. I received the best deal offered. The product was exactly as described. There is nothing that I did not like about this buyer and purchase!
