Aerosmith - Seasons of Wither

[prophecy1962]

Steven Tyler is Mr American Rock and Roll!

[JoelKelly13]

Thank god theres still a hint of Aerosmith in the air these days..

otherwise id loose my mind..

20th century "musicians" will never compare to legends like these.

[mepay00]

they just dont know how to make music like this anymore,sheer talent,thanks joe and steve

[vuce74]

btw i fuckin love this song, just learned it on the guitar... really pleaseant to play it

[vuce74]

Question... Got a 1980's Aerosmith Greatest Hits... this song is included on the disc. Then why doesn't figure it everywhere else?

[imrk27]

@vuce74 It's on the first disc of the Pandora's Box disc set!

[backstagephotoophs]

[kimjacobs]

I thin this is my favorite video! Eerily pleasing. Funny when Steven does air guitar on his mike stand.

[Redeye1524]

Greatest band of all time

[clinehar]

intoxicating!!!!



[hotdrumchick]

I luv Aerosmith! Never heard this song before.

Funny how a lot of musicians made their best music when they were in an "Induced state of euphoria", lol! Kinda sad. Brilliant, but sad.

[JadedAngel23]

@hotdrumchick You never heard this song before???? It was released (originally) on thier Get your Wings album in 1974. Great song! Great album! :)

[hotdrumchick]

@JadedAngel23 That is the ONE album of theirs I didn't hear of, hahaha!!

[devilgunner]

mr whitford rocks!!!!!!

[Satchwood]

Damn i love that song.... Aerosmith Rocks!!

[Mrnewvision7777]

mariah67 suck it...i listened to this in 74, waiting to go to church...now, i´m in my 50´s and if you think your little ass can keep up with us....bring it on...just cause u ain´t got the balls of the Toxic Twins, don´t be hating...go back to your herbal tea, and shut the fk up...

[mariah67]

@Mrnewvision7777 do you mean i'm hating? i don't know if it is you misunderstanding my words, or I don't understand yours...

I was just saying HE'S HOT.

i love aerosmith, but you can think whatever you want

[betchey11]

@Mrnewvision7777 let me my ball less ass up in it like you cant handle your hold it sorry i made you my bitch

[Mrnewvision7777]

thanks for this! it´s amazing the love they have...

[MsKasiaf]

THIS IS PURE MAGIC BETWEEN STEVEN AND JOE IN THE CONCERTS!!!!!! THIS CHEMISTRY AND CREATIVENESS BETWEEN THEM IS FANTASTIC AND THIS UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THEM ON THE STAGE WOW!!!!!! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!!!! YOU CAN FEEL IT WHEN YOU ARE IN AEROSMITH CONCERT!!!!!! THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!!!!! THIS IS WONDERFUL!!!!!!

[sueellen360]

It doesn't get any better

[kimpmak]

I LOVE this video! They are the best live band ever!!!!!

[numfar1]

That was amazing, they are the best.

[IAintTheWalrus]

You're not crazy and you're not alone! Aerosmith started out when I was a teenager and as "wow" as Steven was as a young guy I never paid much attention, although I loved Aerosmith, but he is awesome now more than ever. They all are, but ST is amazing.

[mariah67]

does anyone else think he's so hot at his 63s?? am I crazy? cause I'm 24...haha

[kimpmak]

@mariah67 Uh, yeah! No doubt, smoking!

[tthoy1]

Aerosmith is definately the greatest American band to ever step foot onto a stage. No American band before or since has even come close to Aerosmith.

[Shealene23]

steven and joe are the most amazing pair....giving me multiple eargasims! So good words can't describe....it's like being high...w/out the drugs.

[damonch1000]

Best. Song. Ever.

[mrchrisization]

This song has haunted me in my subconscious since the 70's. I'd say they have tapped into something primal here...

[WESTERNSTARR100]

what else can be said/you cant undo the best

[WESTERNSTARR100]

what else can be said

[musicvibesme]

OMGOSH! Thanks for sharing this awesome live version! Seasons of Wither has always been my favorite song from Aerosmith. It's a shame that it is such an underated song. IMO it's one of their very best! My opinion of this song hasn't changed in over 30 years! Great song, great band and great video!

[tthoy1]

It doesn't get any better than this folks.

[Aerosmito]

Perfect!

[mrnotonly]

Whats the opening song?

[willbond]

@mrnotonly "Hangman Jury" from the Album "Permanent Vacation".  A seriously cool song. :)

[blawson2112]

WOW !!!!

[mushin11]

@johnwaynejohnson of course they had power ballads... a ballad is a song that tells a story. aerosmith does a lot of them. amazing and angel were called power ballads when they came out. dream on is a power ballad...

[sendtherich]

definately my fravorite song by Aerosmith to play

[gaby47]

best live performance of seasons of wither ive ever seen ...got the chills

[johnwaynejohnson]

aerosmith never had a ballad they were a rock n roll band not metal rock n roll has slow love songs only gay bands had power ballads

[dino8192]

my favorite off of get your wings along with train kept a rollin

this is just a great song

[iowaporsche]

Im sure it says in comments down further than I am going to look but this whole concert was filmed and is on youtube..........try aerosmith concert for cancer as that was the benefit they were playing for. Its worth the search, and sorry I didnt take the time to do it for you :)

[tthoy1]

Classic Aerosmith from Boston, Mass

[egyptianminor]

Written by Tyler in a haze of Tuinals w/ Joey's 'dumpster guitar', inspired by New England's nocturnal Winter landscape

[dingo48307]

Thanks for the video. I have never seen this performed on video before.

[matthewSlash90]

i fukkin luv this performance

[mscongeniality1966]

I wish I knew how to make video like everyone else does I would do one with an old feel to it maybe even use some footage with Liv from the LoTR trilogy, well since I don't it won't happen but it was just a thought anyway. I love this song & Aerosmith they still kick ass!

[lowlifehighdesertr]

what a friggin' CLASSIC! Beautiful song.

[hotmn4u]

boring

[hotmn4u]

desperate

[fireflyfan1]

Perfect!

[ery1958]

best song ever was my favorite way back when  i was lucky to find my way home and still is a great song

[imikewillrockyou]

That was some classic Aerosmith.

[Fletch222222]

Wrong song

[ExCeLcl]

5:50

[scales1020]

what a great post!Thanks!

[TARMA70]

I just get caught at 6:27

what an amazing armonic he played at the end of the solo

[stdario]

i love this performance

[phred03]

This performance is phenomenal - frankly the best I've seen of their live performances. What is the date/location? Thx for posting!!!

[KPJ113]

One of my favorite Aerosmith songs. Love it.

[srok62]

Seen Aerosmith dozens of times and they never played this tune...I feel cheated!

Great tune and performance.

[jovigirl40]

Love this song....classic Aerosmith!!

[asktomysis]

Those guys are rock professors

[marvy1118]

It occurred to me while watching this that Steven Tyler and James Brown have something in common vocally.

[CAP1997FURACAO]

@marvy1118 yea both of them sing good d: hahahahaha

[toolooselitrek]

2:22 baby!!!! Seasons.....best song in their books for sure!!! This song has a special "place" in my heat....thanks guys!

[toolooselitrek]

@toolooselitrek "(HEART, I mean)"

[AnimalBlackmatism]

Seasons is spooky.

[damonch1000]

Seasons of Wither---I believe Steven has said this is HIS favorite song. I know it's mine, with Nobody's Fault right behind it. Fucking brilliant.

[CAP1997FURACAO]

whats the difference between hangman jury and seasons of wither?

[toxintwins]

@CAP1997FURACAO there two different songs

[CAP1997FURACAO]

@toxintwins they are?XD oh yeaa...

[toxintwins]

@CAP1997FURACAO lol

[JadedAngel23]

@CAP1997FURACAO Hangman jury and Seasons of Wither are 2 different songs. In this video, they start off w/ Hagman and then go into Seasons. Seasons of Wither was on their 2nd album (Get your Wings in 1974) and Hangman is on their Permant vacation album which was released in 1987. Any other Aerosmith questions?

[CAP1997FURACAO]

@JadedAngel23 hahaaha ok genius XD hahahaah no man... hum i went to their concert it was awesome :D

[JadedAngel23]

@CAP1997FURACAO Well, you know what happens when you ask a stupid question!!!!!!!!!!

[CAP1997FURACAO]

@JadedAngel23 hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­haha some guy gets pissed. hehe bye

[JadedAngel23]

@CAP1997FURACAO I've been to about 20 of their concerts!

[CAP1997FURACAO]

@JadedAngel23 thats so coooool !how old are you ?lol

[MsKasiaf]

AWESOME!

[thelittlegirlblue]

lo amooooo

[Bobthecocsucker]

1-i always cry to this one

2-Joe's favorite ballad

3-first song i ever learned on guitar

4-screams in this are AMAZING

5-so full of power, i know how it feels to have so much power played in a song with everybody just playing their hearts out. (im in orchestra)

[MsKasiaf]

I love the way they improvise and join one song to another one, they are the masters of sound and the best band playing live ever!!!!!

[WeRockHard3211]

5:52 is just SOO COOL!!

[aerosmiles]

OMG i wanna grab steven Tyler's hand i probably would faint or sumthin

[aerodanny111]

can't stop watching

[pactis11]

Lovely Tylerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[bore80]

Joe Perry and Steven tyler due miti del rock, Grandi Aerosmith e grandissima canzone... Spettacolooo..

[titiego]

...and Hangman Jury

[tiaclaudial]

lo amo!!! y esta musica es lo mas!!!

[yourOpinionNotMine]

ok new groups and artists, we want trippy -hard rock such as this. are ya'll LAME or can ya?!?!?

[pray4time]

Steven Tyler and Joe Perry accoustic.

Just DOES NOT get any better than this. EVER.

[Angelina1988Russia]

Perry looks like 20 years ago. So young. He doesnt change with time.

[aenima987]

@Angelina1988Russia yeah those facelifts work wonders

[merritt855]

peaple always want a band to stay the same way. r u the same u were 30 years ago,?they rock. so do you blue army..

[fanofprotopic]

kinda hard to believe Tyler and Perry are at each other's throats now.

[tmodolphins]

Happy Birthday Steven Tyler!!!

[ravinglunac]

Flame war! Yaaaaay!

[Grendelmonster8u]

unTruthAxe said: You amuse, NerdGrendel.

I saw Zeppelin. I bet you didn't. I had 12 tickets to their last show ever in MSG, June 14, 1977.

All you're talking about are some YT vids, wishing you saw these bands.

Oh how you amuse.

No, I didn't see LZ's LAST USA show (not their last show ever). I did see Aerosmith in Dec 1977 nice & close to the stage at the ripe age of 11. Obviously at 11 yrs old I was more perceptive than you. Keep dreaming on, I know you secretly love the song.

[dailyflash]

@Grendelmonster8u Zeppelin's last shows were in Summer 1980. Their last was 7/7/80 in Berlin. Their last American show was in Oakland, CA 7/20/77. Tour stopped short because Plant's son died.

[syltyler]

Que maravilha !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TruthAxe]

Wow. What a boring 2:30 leading up to the song. Joe's struggling with that grandpa's guitar.

Steven Tyler looks like he has a major hair piece attached to his head and what hair he might have left.

Dig the song. They should have played it in their prime as it's the only good song on Get Your Wings.

[Grendelmonster8u]

The only good song on Get Your Wings? Dude, you need to see a doctor post-haste. And I doubt you'll look half as good at their age because most people don't as it is.

(:

[TruthAxe]

Doubt all that you want. Who cares?

However, name exactly what songs off Get Your Wings measure up to songs on Rocks or Toys in the Attic.

Aerosmith has 2 solid recorings: Toys, Rocks.

5 good songs exist on the debut: Make It, Somebody, One Way Street, Mama Kin, Movin' Out.

By the time Pump came out, Aerosmith jumped the shark.

[Grendelmonster8u]

Well, then who gives a sh*t what you think of their hair!

Yeah, lead-in is kinda boring.

I think all of GYW is good, including "Spaced", though it's not a song to play live. "Lord of the Thighs", their cover of "Train Kept A Rollin" (best cover), "Same Old Song and Dance", etc.

I think their first 4 records are solid with bits on the following ones. Can't disagree much about after Pump...new music, a different kind of Aerosmith...but they do play better LIVE than back in the 70s.

[TruthAxe]

Same Old Song and Dance is OK. I can put in the save column.

I saw them a couple of times, first at the then-named Brendan Bryne Arena for their first comeback and then at the Orange County Speedway.

Whitford is a better guitarist live, cleaner, more skilled, more fluid.

Toys and Rocks stand monuments in rock history.

[Grendelmonster8u]

Guitar: different styles, good complement. Whitford playing with the Hendrix Experience tours says something.

Yes about Toys and Rocks. While I'm really tired of hearing the over-played "Walk This Way" (despite luvin it back then), the rest of the album still rocks. One ballad-like song "You See Me Crying" has nice arrangement, imo. Most 70s bands have monumental albums, except for Led Zeppelin who have a bunch. Serious "competition" then.

[Grendelmonster8u]

Wait, you named 5 out of 8 songs from their first album. And you don't like "Dream On"? Oh c'mon, it's a great song. 6 out of 8 good songs is not bad for a record, let alone a first one!

[TruthAxe]

Dream On pains one to listen to it. It's a mishmash of a composition.

Persons say they like the song because they've been conditioned to it. They've heard it 1,000s of times.

It's a weak song.

[Grendelmonster8u]

It's you again? The one who names 5 out of 8 songs from the first album & says only Toys and Rocks are good.

Conditioned to "Dream On"? Lol. Look sweetheart, there was a point when it was heard for the first time and it was instantly likable. Didn't have to be conditioned by listening to it a zillion times to know it was good. There are a lot of songs one knows are good from the get-go.

Have you considered that maybe the composition of your head is a mishmash? :)

[TruthAxe]

You amuse, Grendelmonster8u.

Hey, calm down with your need to justify your liking of suck.

Toys and Rocks are good start-to-finish.

No one can say that about the self-titled Aerosmith.

Dream on if you believe, falsely, that Dream On is a good song.

Oh, and what a nerdy nick you have chosen, copying a name from Beowulf. That you could not come up with an original name says much about your mind and your glaring lack of skill to understand anything original.

[Grendelmonster8u]

TruthAxe, I feel so badly for you...definitely bound to lose your mind. You need to get your wings...yesterday.

And every time you look in the mirror I hope Dream On plays in your head again and again. It's my curse on you. :))

"TruthAxe" is some paragon of originality? You've already been eaten, you just don't realize it yet.

We can keep going round and round all night long if you want. At least you'll like *that*.

[TruthAxe]

You amuse, again, Grendelmonster.

Ironically, it is you who shall think of me everytime you look into a mirror.

You shall say to yourself, "Damn that TruthAxe. He's in my head. He owns a piece of my mind."

When you shower, you shall think the name TruthAxe. When you pass a mirror, you shall recall the name TruthAxe.

And when you do, you shall feel conflicted over knowing that Dream On sucks while you defend it as a song that you like.

Oh how you amuse.

[Grendelmonster8u]

Steven Tyler's father is an accomplished pianist & said that Dream On is his favorite Aero song. Are you going to argue with a 93 yr old musician about the composition of it? Do you think he'd say he liked it even though in your dazed & confused mind it's a "mishmash composition?" Sorry, I'll agree w/ the guy whose been playing music for decades.

Your "truth" has already been axed. GYW is a great album & DO is good too. Are u going to argue against "Train..." also? My head = no vacancy.

[TruthAxe]

You amuse even more, Grendelmonsternerd.

Steven Tyler's played piano. That doesn't make him Beethoven.

Aerosmith covered Train Kept a Rollin'. They didn't write it.

Tyler wrote a bad song with Dream On. Everything about it is forced.

The rest of the songs on the 1st recording reflect a copying style of early rock songs.

Seasons of Wither shows promise of more accomplished writing to come in Toys and Rocks, their best recordings.

After that, drugs ruined the band.

[Grendelmonster8u]

Of course they covered Train, but you said only Seasons is good on GYW, and they made Train better besides. You know, some critics didn't think so highly of You See Me Crying on Toys and you say Dream On is "forced"? Not sure what you mean by forced then.

We know Toys & Rocks are their best albums. Thanks for yesterday's news. Perhaps you should go listen to GYW again; it's on YT for your convenience. Dream of a train rolling over your head while 5 out of 8 songs play from the 1st album.

[TruthAxe]

Made Train better? How exactly?

Aerosmith didn't make it better. They made it a different way.

Merely, you lack proper musical knowledge, training and skill to discern the difference.

You can listen to the original here: v=ci4EQDD4CqA

The Yardbirds made Train the song into a cover staple.

And most likely, these guys inspired Aerosmith: v=dnTJtTJejiE

[Grendelmonster8u]

Dude I have over 6 Train versions in my playlist (nicely in a row) from the original to Yardbirds' version to Aerosmith or whomever. Feel free to check them out; they're in the Music 2 folder. So don't even TRY to talk to me about Train. And I've got the LZ one too, but it's different too & doesn't quite have the same punch as Aerosmith's in the final analysis, though I love LZ. Do you like the friggin song on GYW or not? You are a master of evading the question.

[Grendelmonster8u]

And I'm still waiting for your explanation of Dream On being "forced" and why YOU think those critics were wrong about You See Me Crying. Cuz so far your "proper musical knowledge" isn't really coming through. You're talking about songs but you're not really saying anything. And now you're telling me about Train songs and I bet I know more than you do about them.

Tomorrow I'll have you for breakfast. :0

[sueellen360]

@TruthAxe hell no, i respect your opinion but aerosmith doesn't have just 2 solid albums, maybe you don't like the others so much but that's all, YOU don't like them

[CaliforniaDebi]

Beautiful B-Day gift Kel! Thank you. ;) Debi loves her Smith!!!!

[Goodtoogoaerobaby]

We all battle our own personal demons.....Right on Steven! God Bless You!!!! Stll the best doll.... See Ya soon,,, God Speed...

[ldelaineslizard]

thank you for posting this, thank you

[CoastalPlainMlkSnake]

One of the best videos...of Aerosmith doing Seasons...man!

[whysoserious257]

the first bit of this is hangman jury from permanent vacation album. another classic

[Goodtoogoaerobaby]

dude,,, he's 61 yrs old,,,, done alot of drugs,,,you've never been about to say something and forgot??? try bein in his shoes,, who cares,, it always turns out good,,,, rock on STEVEN,,,

[sueellen360]

Who does care about drugs?

steven can sing, i really don't care about how he looks, he's my idol, and he'll always be.

He's a great musician, one of the best male singers ever.

P.D: He always change the lyrics, cause he want to.

[CaliforniaDebi]

Well said.

[RedDragon52]

THOSE PANTS ARE SOOO FUCKING COOL

[FreakOfNewMoon]

Seasons Of Wither is one of the most amazing acoustic song ever!!!!

[sconibear]

Peace

[kimmie817]

Oh Fuck Yea!!! this is one of the best songs they did!!! I know its a remake, but they sound great!!!

[icheccori]

@kimmie817 Remake??? What??? That one was written by Steven Tyler on 74!!!

[CaliforniaDebi]

LMAO! Duh.

[emho123]

perhaps those who think he's always high and want to hear the way they did it on the album... maybe just always stay home and listen to the album??? btw... they were REALLY high on the albums.

[sconibear]

Whoever suggested Steven Tyler looks like he's on drugs doesn't have a clue about the raw emotion of music and the charisma that is Steven Tyler. Steven immerses himself in the music and as far as his actions, Steven Tyler is like a spaztic monkey on crack when he's sitting still giving an interview. Not to mention let's see you rock like that when you're 60 years old. ROCK ON Steve......you'll ALWAYS be my favorite male vocalist.

[kimmie817]

You are so right!!!  Steven is da man and noone will ever be as good as him!!!!!!!!!!!

[sueellen360]

really, i don't care if he is in drugs or not, aerosmith is always awesome and steven is a great musician

[sueellen360]

steven rocks!

[35685764]

my favorite song of Aerosmith... Very cool

[hsm234566]

He changes the lyrics becuz he wants it to sound cool :)

[quibto]

on purpose, he isnt on drugs anymore.

[Patfan72]

Do you think he changes the lyrics on purpose or is that the effect of all the drugs he has taken over the years ?

[StevenTylersmitten]

simply amazing

[Goodtoogoaerobaby]

Steven looks like he's still on drugs??Plz,,,,, you must have never seen them when the actually were,,, Steven looks like a man thats in his music,, givin it all he's got,, beautiful....... Aerosmith always

[tparbs]

Damn...I'd have paid about anything to be sitting right there watching this! AWESOME video!!

Yes, rah....Living legends!

Get Back in the Saddle soon, Steven!!!

[rah01kah]

Their body of work is about as impressive as anybody's out there.........LEGENDS ARE THEY!!!!!!!!!!

[ledzepbonham15]

Mannn I think this is one of my favorite videos of ALL time. It is classic. I love hangman jury, i love seasons of wither....and Tyler, Perry and all are in classic mode....just jammin and feelin it. GREAT video. Thanks for posting!

[lteliseo]

Seasons of Wither is just an AMAZING song! gave me chills the first time I ever heard it.. and every time since! FAVORITE Aerosmith song ever!!!

[cacorkins]

seasons of wither is my favorite aerosmith song. its simply beautiful

[66MzLibra3]

No, Mr Tyler does not look like he's still on drugs. He looks like an artist who's soul has been completely consumed by his art~~~ Beautiful!

[grossepatate007]

yay and moreover it's an unplugged show. that's why he's sittin on a chair..

[Cinemadaptation]

It's not an unplugged show, this is taken from a private show in Las vegas in 2007 from their world tour.

[joeperryandslash]

Steven Tyler have take much drugs in his life =( but he can sing so good
