I'm assuming this is Otto's....Or what became Otto's when I was there (92-96). Not great acoustics in that joint. Love it to death and spent most of my time there, but most shows sounded pretty crappy. BTW 10-21-86 was my 12th birthday. woohoo
you gotta say that even though michael with all due respect doesent come near stevens set of pipes, at least r.e.m.s studio version had a certian soul in it that aerosmith in my ears didnt have.
now theyre stone drunk all of them and finds it kinda hard to presesnt any sort of soul to anything :P
This may be some of the most rare REM footage you can find!! You can find a studio cut of this cover on Dead Letter Office....they didn't play it very much live. As far as the other comments...unless you were there, you wouldn't get it. This is great, thanks for posting!
they're blissfully drunk and having fun! Nothing wrong about that. At least they're not up there posing and posturing like those wanks Aerosmith had become by then. And worse since then. "Lovin in an Elevator" anyone? Total shite.
@Ldale11 - Didn't Aerotwats do some gig with Britney Spears and NSYNC? Possibly a Super Bowl 1/2 time show. I recall Steven being asked what he thought of NSYNC. He said, "yeah man, they're pros!".
@bfall66 what the fuck was that supposed to be? Aerotwats? Fuck you asshole! AEROSMITH rocks totally! They're pure hard rock legend. So Shut the Hell Up!
@Ldale11 What an asshole! I guess you're another Emo kid who got nothing better to do than writing such stupid comments. Have you ever been on Aerosmith s\live show? NO? So how the fuck you can say anything about them? Love in an Elevator is crazy rockin song, so shut up! Of course their best albums are Toys in the Attic and ROCKS, but Aerosmith rocks always! So Shut up.
R.E.M. were good at covering other artists and this Aerosmith cover isn't an exception to the rule!
