@tomcamp6023 Joe perry is Slash`s Idol, you can say Joe perry was to Slash what Slash was to kids in the 80`s and even now. :)!!! gotta love em both. Have you seen GNR and Aerosmith doing this song in paris Live? I recommend it!
Ahh - feedback and live instruments! Damn I miss excellent concert shows like this on the old boob tube! Joe acquits himself admirably in his hero Jeff Beck's signature Yardbirds song. It does suck that they truncated the song though.
I can't believe that this clip is from the year I graduated high school. Gotta love the clothes! They were stylin'. Love the band and I love Steven Tyler on Idol.
Why did they cut it off? How stupid. This is the best american band ever. I have loved them ever since I used to listen to my older brother's albums as a kid. First album I ever got for myself was Draw The Line I think. Saw them in 97 and they are the best live band I have ever seen. Kiss and the Chilli Peppers are great live too.
They sound very good here despite this was right around the time of their massive drug use and boozing. Ive seen clips of them live during this era and theyve sounded terrible live.
I love aerosmith but technology was needed to make these boyz a 100% better. Joe's playing like he has cardboard for fingers. A little more delay and reverd needed here huh?
@mrzaremba123Cardboard finger. That's funny. Wonder what Joe's boys thought when dad finially explained to them that the 6th member of Aerosmith, their old producer, regularly hired professional guitarists to play cuts on albums including Toys In The Attic?
@ghosttracs This song is a case in point...on the album, the guitar leads are played by Dick Wagner (Alice Cooper) and Steve Hunter (Alice Cooper, Lou Reed). I would've like to see those guys rock out in this song. They are amazing to watch on old live Alice Cooper vids from the mid 70's.
Finally around to reading "Walk this Way" so I had to look this up and watch it. Tyler sounds great. Joe sounds scared and is ahead of the band (tempo-wise, not his performance). Can hear Tyler perfectly, but what's with the Joe-Only sound? Sounds like he's going direct into the board, except for a little of the good feedback in places.
i love 2 see steven tyler due the, " i need to pee pee dance" ! luv them!!! Y can't we have anything like the midnight special or don (?) krisna's rock band on t.v. now?! you'd think with all of those stations something good would be on!
I liked Steve's early voice on the first two Aerosmith lps! So bluesy, so "Robert Johnson" sounding! What a shame that he got raspier with time, by "Walk This Way" he didn't sound any different than Rod Stewart!
it's really sad that brad's guitar isn't in the mix at all. also, they're collectively hammered off jd. (even though this was recorded in the AM). This is really the earliest Aerosmith video out there, and it's sad they're not captured at their best.
Nice to see perry and whitford mix it up with a strat and les paul. Check out ac/dc from the same night. I think Bon and Angus ripped their aero's heads off!
Man those marshalls sound worn out..Some leftover hippie still around in the 70's at the time probably ripped off his mxr distortion from the previous show, and sold it to the nearest pawn shop to cop dope..Or Joe pawned it himself..!aH
im reading walk this way (the aerosmith autobiography) and apperently wen they filmed this joe was almost to drunk and stoned to stand up but he still sounds great hes just that good
@theawsomeposum I love these guys, I always have going back to Monsters of Rock, but I gotta admit the Boys seemed to start off a little slow on this take. Of course, they pulled it out famously which only lead to more drugs and alcohol on stage and off. And as much a fan as I am of medicinal plants, I gotta say seeing Brad, Joey, Tom, Joe, and Steven in the last few years has been a real treat. The band went through some patches but only came out tighter! Hope they do more of the blues again.
Tyler is so great, maybe the best vocalist alive. But Freddie was so 'god' above. Sorry.
I love aerosmith, so it's hard to say, but almost every legendary band become fool at songwriting as getting old. Same goes for aerosmith.. simply they couldn't get over it. Oh, see how poor JPP was.
Well, however, Queen came through it and made tremendous albums until 'Made In Heaven'. They're one of the best bands of history.
It must have been a knock on Joe Perry's confidence that they had other guitar players play on this in the studio version, as well as on "Same Old Song and Dance" and Joe Perry wrote that tune.
@theShowStopper321 not at all. he was lead guitarist. actually it must have been worse for brad whitford because he is a great guitarist but has to play rythm because joe is better. and then the other person is bass
@theShowStopper321 this was writen way before aerosmith i want to say it was a blues song in like the 50s and then the yardbirds made it popular in the 60s and aerosmith is doing their cover of the yardbirds cover
@sueellen360 lets see, what does queen deserve? a rock band and a guitar hero game, more special albums respect from the rolling stones magazine and a daily dose of a tremendous fan base all over the world and counting...
Aerosmith, on the other hand, was always one of my favorite bands, and my favorite album by them is GET YOUR WINGS! That music is the "coolest" of cool and nothing short of genius!
@guitarttimman That's a stupid and rude thing to say dude. Aerosmith is incredible too, but Queen is one of the biggest selling bands in history, Did it really matter that Freddie was gay? I really don't think so.
I don't even see how Queen's music resembles Aerosmith's. They're both awesome but so different.
@guitarttimman And they made a bazillion dollars, influenced scores of musicians, set new standards for music, wrote timeless music, and you post meaningless words here on Youtube. They win, you lose.
win? lose? I just said I don't like their music! Queen, in my opinion, SUCKED!
And seriously, I don't think they did all that good as winners either because the lead singer did die from aids and the money he made is now useless to him!
@guitarttimman Wow I feel sorry for you. Too bad you just can enjoy how great Queen was. Freddie may have died, but he left behind a legacy as one of the, if not the greatest, rock singer of all time, and influenced so much of today's music. You DO lose.
@guitarttimman Regardless of whether or not you liked Queen or their music, that does not entitle you the right to call them a 'fag band'. That is a derogatory, stereotypical statment that makes you seem rude and ignorant. There's a little thing called the Constitution of the United States of America, but I doubt you've read it.
Some early Queen was much more straightforward rock ("Great King Rat", "Liar", "Stone Cold Crazy") but I doubt it had any influence on Aerosmith. Queen's self titled debut in 1973 came one year after Aerosmith's self title debut. "Get Your Wings", which contains "Train Kept A Rollin", was released in 1974 and wasn't a huge departure in sound for the band (blues/rock) so I can't see how Queen, who isn't blues/rock by any means, could have been an influence.
Aerosmith are a great band! I wish the t.v. networks would bring back shoes like Midnight Special or In Concert! Instead of all these damn talk shows!
I first got to see them live in 1978...I knew they would be huge! All my friends liked Rush which was cool but I was a total Aerosmith fan. I got a back stage pass later when Toys in the Attic came out...You should have been there, that's all I can say...
Fuck yeah I remember staying up to watch this!! For real! Been a fan for many years, this was a great time in the Aerosmith story. Well mostly, hahaha..
I wish I could sing this well when I'm drunk. As any singer would tell you, being drunk mess your tones a lot (you can barely feel your own voice). So, this is my way of saying Steven Tyler has always rocked hard.
Tom Hamilton referenced this show in their book "Walk This Way" on page 221 (hardcover). He says they woke up before dawn to get loaded so they could be as drunk at 10 a.m. for the taping as they were for their usual night gigs. Because they weren't used to being drunk so early, they really sucked.
@Putaspellonyou hey, if you don't like but it's great, everybody don't like the same things, but if i don't like something i cant say it not good because of my taste
WOO GO AEROSMITH! AlTHOUGH YOU MAY HAVE BROKEN UP YOU WILL STILL BE PLAYING LIVE IN MY MEMORIES! IM ONLY 11 BUT THE STUFF FROM 60s, 70s, and 80s IS THE REAL STUFF AND I SHALL NEVER FORGET THAT!
@tigercub1998 dont worry, they haven't broken up, just upset with the events of the last tour. Steve and joe both came up and announced the runors were false. :) So they shouldn't be going anywhere for a while!
Kid when I was ten Nine Lives album was released, it was 12 years ago, and then they also had problems, but they haven't split up. they came through alot, and they survived. The same nowadays. So don't worry, and hope that they will survive this little crisis:)
So Do I ... Joe Was The Shit back then.... As Was Aerosmith Too bad The Drugs Took Over and the Next Thirty yrs Passed in a BLur... they Sure don't Write em like this any longer... the First Five Albums only for Me Please... or was it Six...? hehe "Night in the Ruts" is the Last of the Best... in My Book.
@steve89z "Train Kept A-Rollin" is a song written by Tiny Bradshaw, Howard Kay, and Lois Mann. Bradshaw first recorded the song in 1951- his best known recording. After a rock and roll version of the song was recorded and released by Johnny Burnette and the Rock and Roll Trio in 1956, numerous other such versions have been recorded since" I suppose so
man i love this song. you ever get the feeling that you were born in the wrong time? I wish i was born in the early to mid 60s, young enough to enjoy these bands in their hay day,
Born in '61. And I'm on the Live Bootleg album (one of the screaming horde in Chicago). Still wasn't old enough to see these guys in their prime. Would have to have been born in '56-'57 to be the 'right' aged. Still, mid-70's rock was a very unique era, like '69 and '58.
Aerosmith is the best band EVER! I grew up with the rock music, but in the begining of my life I didn't knew anything about Aerosmith, but now I know so much more than alot of my friends...
this is awsome! i saw an infomertial for this on tv and then i saw aerosmith so i looked this up. i luv seeing aerosmith things from the 70s. its so cool. plus steven looks AMAZING. STEVEN TYLER= SEXIEST MAN ALIVE!!!
true, but hes still hot. i was so mad cuz i had tickets to see them play last week but steven hurt his leg so the show got cancelled. they said theyr rescheduling tho so i hope i can go.
i know! i talk to someone who said he ripped his quad? i pulled my quad b4. it hurts like hell. but at least theyre reschedualing it. do u have good seats? i saw them june 13 but my seats sucked :P
yeah. me 2. my friend greg is one of their guitar techs so he got me some of their guitar picks but he said stevens a real dick and has the whole rockstar complex thing goin on. i dont even care tho. id still love to meet him!
lol. yeah nothing anyone says could possibly make me dislike him. hes so amazing. omg, you have to read the bands autobiography called walk this way. i got it at borders for like 15 bucks and it was like the best book ever!! you should really read it!!
wish I could sing like Steven..damn

Tom Hamilton referenced this show in their book "Walk This Way" on page 221 (hardcover). He says they woke up before dawn to get loaded so they could be as drunk at 10 a.m. for the taping as they were for their usual night gigs. Because they weren't used to being drunk so early, they really sucked.

Stephen Tyler isn't even a pimple on Keith Relf's butt!
It's the best version Aerosmith did, but doesn't even come close to the Yardbirds.
detoth67 2 years ago

BigCookinCajun 2 years ago 2

@tigercub1998 dont worry, they haven't broken up, just upset with the events of the last tour. Steve and joe both came up and announced the runors were false. :) So they shouldn't be going anywhere for a while!

Kid when I was ten Nine Lives album was released, it was 12 years ago, and then they also had problems, but they haven't split up. they came through alot, and they survived. The same nowadays. So don't worry, and hope that they will survive this little crisis:)

As Was Aerosmith Too bad The Drugs Took Over and the Next Thirty yrs Passed in a BLur... they Sure don't Write em like this any longer... the First Five Albums only for Me Please... or was it Six...? hehe "Night in the Ruts" is the Last of the Best... in My Book.

@steve89z "Train Kept A-Rollin" is a song written by Tiny Bradshaw, Howard Kay, and Lois Mann. Bradshaw first recorded the song in 1951- his best known recording. After a rock and roll version of the song was recorded and released by Johnny Burnette and the Rock and Roll Trio in 1956, numerous other such versions have been recorded since" I suppose so

man i love this song. you ever get the feeling that you were born in the wrong time? I wish i was born in the early to mid 60s, young enough to enjoy these bands in their hay day,
aaronaaronjarvis 2 years ago 2
Born in '61. And I'm on the Live Bootleg album (one of the screaming horde in Chicago). Still wasn't old enough to see these guys in their prime. Would have to have been born in '56-'57 to be the 'right' aged. Still, mid-70's rock was a very unique era, like '69 and '58.
