Smile Live Chris Botti & Steven Tyler

[whatshalleyedo]

I like this

[GlambertGal23]

Perfect. Even better live. So emotional. -3

[4FabBEATLES]

Ou can see how emotional this song is for Steven and his dad Victor, which is partly because this was soon after Steven's mother ( victor's wife ) passed away. Steven mentions how important his family is to him in his autobiography - you can tell he's trying to help his dad through the hardship and take meaning from the song. This performance may not be perfect in other peoples opinions but it doesn't matter- its from the heart- and that is what's important.

[YAMU3006]

Who is victor? Btw this song is so touching, if u go through midlife crisis, breakup, lost. Job, bankurupcy, forclosure and gamble addiction..your life is at the edge this song will lift u up..because I went through all these at once..god next time can you space them out alittle bit instead all at once ??

[sueellen360]

@YAMU3006 Did you even watch the video? Victor Tallarico is Steven's dad

[PearlDrummer0011]

Wow...

[blubrd454]

Love listening to this song over and over....

[carebear27203]

A song for my daddy <3

[pamela666999]

bra eres un tonto

[Vailover4ever]

One of my all time favorite song.It's nice to hear Steven singing so softly,and Chris Botti is so talented.Perfect combination.

[klausoma]

I really only have one comment: Perfect....

[SuperDonnaWanna]

two wonderful Italians from the BRONX and we love both of them. Mr. Tallorico played his music here for years then Steven came along..

[pdxskatastic]

Thank you Victor for giving us the most perfect son we could ever ask forever. We love you and miss you.

[JoeCaliforniah]

This guy always smile, coz he has a mouth of a joker. Infact he shuld replaces heath ledger.

[socalgal3ify]

Wow, that's really moving! I love Steven Tyler, but this really allows you to hear what an amazing voice he has. I've always been impressed at the emotion he emotes. Imagine Steven Tyler doing Standards!! I'm blown away! Thanks for posting this video.

[kalleskit]

RIP Victor!

[adismith13]

RIP VICTOR Tallarico....

[xxTxRattlerxx]

That was an awesome job, Steven! It takes a lot to move me to tears, and that song did it! I'm sure your 'daddy' is very proud of you! Rest in peace, Vic, and THANK YOU, for giving the world such a tremendous performer and person in Steven...

[Thorgal20]

RIP Victor! You gave us the best rocker on this world! Thank you for that.

[aerofanELLIE]

Lovely

[LisahKfTheFirst]

Mr. Victor, he IS the man who gave for his son the world and for the world an Idol and now, he's with the most affectionate woman who exist: Susan Blancha, their love bored fruits and never wil have end ;)

[aerosmithofficial3]

Rest In Peace Victor :(

[mulletchuck]

Whoever orchestrated this definitely was listening to Bartok's Piano Concerto #2 2nd movement. Non-vibrato open 5th sordino string voicings throughout!!  LOVE IT!!!

[dandelion2020]

Honestly musically and professionally I must say that Steven Tyler is the best. Steven's smile just kills me! 63 And still such a cutie <3(:

[PirateStiffy]

"My dad! My daddy!"

[goska1325]

One of my favorite songs. This two guys - strange, but perfct

[letsil2008]

3 people just don't know what music is. that was sooo beautiful that I don't have words to describe it , Steven singing for his daddy , just amaazing , just perfect !!!

[aerodanny111]

do you know when in 2008 this was?

[ztmdrums]

amazing how his voice transcends through almost every genre of music...lets see some latin next!

[COLOisCOOL]

A sweet performance by two distinctively different--but awesome--musicians. Thanks for the post, sueellen360!

[MikeLangeSound]

@sueellen360

It's there...unfortunately...just not to the degree that we're used to hearing from the likes of T-Pain...

[shanaynaykicksass97]

it hurts to cry but sometimes you can't always hold in ur feelins

[crazycomic]

I remember seeing this on PBS a while back but...I didnt shed a tear back then...I shed a couple watching this...

[kalleskit]

its crazy, he's like 61 here

[DSH1LL]

wunnerful

[1yppsh]

Beautiful...<3

[DollieDotCom]

I love this song it makes me smile while crying.

[tparbs]

Singing "Smile" to his dad--wow--never expected to ever see or hear this. It was so beautiful...a moment frozen in time after the death of his mother and comforting and honoring his father.. Many see what his old fans have known for years: There is depth to this man who has entertained millions--a depth of heart and soul.

[Roman70kg]

Steven can sing everything jazz, rock, blues, country... He is a great artist!!!

[kristinecamacho2]

Is this the reason why Steven didn't liked Thia's version of Smile, because she upstaged him? Kidding!

[LOVEisLove3676]

This is a great song as well...

[lucyty81]

how sweet...I love You Steven...you're AMAZING!

[NCLN]

Steve Tyler is an awesome man. Such a soft heart and loving spirit. So glad to have "met" him here.

[Tylergirl91]

Amazing he is just amazing!!!! And he is so sweet to decated it to his dad!!! 

[aerosmithlisa]

he is almost crying himself ,, beautiful

[halford3256]

when he sings.."that first verse listen..its correcting the voice...its annoying

[halford3256]

@sueellen360 ...Thats not his voice man...its twangy and you can hear an auto tune on it...just not kanye ish...slight but its there..

[halford3256]

dont like the autotune on his vocals...he doesn't need it...

[aerosmithmotleycrue]

@halford3256 you're right he doesnt need it...thats why he doesnt use it

[halford3256]

@aerosmithmotleycrue ..Listen on a good pair of speakers my friend..He absolutely is using one..Not Kanye West auto tune..but the twang is there...Guaranteed..Nobiggy..j­ust strange hes using it..

[BugandBeag]

@halford3256 - I think what you are hearing that you believe is auto-tune is actually the herculean effort in keeping his composure through the raw emotion that is going through him as he performs. There is no auto-tune here.

[BugandBeag]

@halford3256 - I think what you are hearing that you believe is auto-tune, is the herculean effort at maintaining his composure through the performance with all of the raw emotion that was running through him at the time. This was performed right around 2 months after his mother died.

[BugandBeag]

sorry for multiple posts. Newbie in posting here..... :(

[Bradtheguitarfreak]

@halford3256 There's no autotune because when he does runs or phrases you don't hear the computer like sound

[BornGlamorous]

@halford3256

UM, its called naturally being an amazing singer... thats how good he is, that you think he is autotuned XD perfect pitch, mothafuckaz

[halford3256]

@BornGlamorous ...Listen him talking in the beginning u tool..then when he sings its twangy...its not a knock on his ability..its a fact there is an auto tune....all day long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.­..even though its breakin...listen...its enhanced ya fuck....

[halford3256]

@BornGlamorous ...Listen him talking in the beginning u tool..then when he sings its twangy...its not a knock on his ability..its a fact there is an auto tune....all day long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.­.".even though its breakin"...listen...its enhanced ya fuck....He hardly has perfect ptch....lol

[BornGlamorous]

@halford3256

[BornGlamorous]

[sueellen360]

@BornGlamorous @halford3256 ENOUGH!

[halford3256]

@BornGlamorous ..Always have...much respect..I was jut stating a fact...

[BornGlamorous]

@halford3256

...a fact that is fictious...

[halford3256]

@BornGlamorous ...its true look it up...he says it in an interview with Blabbermouth....used it to sound like a jazz performer...

[BornGlamorous]

@halford3256

dude, he doesnt need anythign to sound like anything. he's just amazing now shutup and fuck off

[halford3256]

@BornGlamorous ..He is an amazing Vocalist..He used it to add to the jazz feel of the song I should have said...Great Performance..

[BugandBeag]

F'ing AMAZING......

[rubyteresa]

"They dont prepare you for that at Jazz camp". LOL

[rubyteresa]

This is INSANE! Rock God and Classic all rolled into one beautiful piece!

[ang3l0fmus1c]

So pure and absolutely beautiful. Steven Tyler is the man. And Chris botti, phenomenal trumpeter.

[Phoenitron]

Steven always will remind me of Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Carribean, bad ass, kick ass, and the pirate of rock and roll

[QueenBeatlesWings]

That was beautiful and heartbreaking

[myszkot]

dla Dolinki! i dla mnie też :D

[danargyn]

ST felt it! Amazing... performance is great. Mr Tellerito is a very happy man. To get so much support from his kid in the rough times.

[bls5160]

Such a beautiful song, a beautiful voice, sung by such a beautiful man.

[MfromFrance]

Quelle émotion... Bouleversant.

Wonderfull sensitive Steven Tyler!

[CTKeifer74]

@MfromFrance Si doux... Steven Tyler est, avec Tom Keifer, mon chanteur rock/blues préféré. Ma famille habite la Suisse mais mon père est italien comme Victor Tallarico... J'amerais bien chanter comme ça pour mon lui: doucement mais avec beaucoup de personnalité.

Steven keeps rockin' - no doubt about it

:-)) A la prochenne!!

[MfromFrance]

@CTKeifer74 Salut, tu as fait remonter à la surface le nom d'un groupe que j'avais complètement oublié : Cindarella... Je ne connaissais pas Tom Kiefer particulièrement: je vais aller découvrir un peu plus. Pour ce qui est des voix masculines, pour moi, David Bowie et Bono arrivent en tête, avec Tyler qui a cette présence de scène si personnelle et totalement imprévisible. C'est beau, le rock...

[CTKeifer74]

@MfromFrance Tu peux bien le dire :-)

Si tu as envie de connaître son histoire (tu as "oublié" Cinderella car Tom a perdu sa voix. Cinderella a presque désparu - aujourd'hui il ne peut plus chanter comme avant à cause d'une paralysie d'une corde vocale) je te conseille de regarder deux vidéos "Tom Keifer Biography" et "The Force Of Passion" sur YouTube. Tu ne pourras plus vivre 24 heures sans sa musique.

Ciao MfromFrance, à la prochaine fois - je m'excuse pour mon français

Bisoux

Ste'74, Lugano

[MfromFrance]

@CTKeifer74 Triste histoire. Merci : je vais aller le découvrir à travers les vidéos. a plus! Ciao

[CTKeifer74]

@MfromFrance Excuse-moi, j'ai la maudite tendance de tutoyer en Français... Sâche que mon «toi» n'est jamais offensive (tout simplement la façon de parler la langue italienne ou anglaise qu'on utilise sur Internet). On va continuer comme avant? Qu'est-ce que tu en penses?

J'aime la voix de Bono aussi et particulièrement le duo Bono-Andrea qui chante "SUMMER WINE" avec TheCorrs en donnant de la nuovelle couleur à chaque mot.

Je vais écouter SummerWine tout de suite.

A bientôt =)

[MfromFrance]

@CTKeifer74 Salut, pas de pb pour le "tu" :-)) C'est vrai que le "you" anglais est tellement plus pratique... Le duo de Bono et les Corrs sur SUMMER WINE a été une découverte fantastique pour moi : je l'ai écouté des dizaines de fois (tu as du trouver l'autre duo sur Youtube entre les deux. pour ce qui est des émotions sur des reprises, connais-tu le duo Norah Jones - Keith Richards sur LOVE HURTS? Et le reprise superbe- pour moi meilleure que l'originale - de Chrissie Hynde sur CREEP?

[CTKeifer74]

@MfromFrance Comme mon "amour" est Tom Keifer, j'ai écouté "LoveHurts" - Magnifique Chanson WOW =) - chantée par Tom et Joanna Dean (les premiers 25 sec chantés par Tom sont trop forcés, il est méconnaissable, puis il commence à descendre et relaxer les cordes vocales - voilà, c'est la voix de Tom Keifer à la quelle je dois prendre l'habitude.

Maintenant je vais écouter la version Norah Jones + Keith Richards et Creep reprise par Chrissie Hynde. Merci, ciao ciao!

[myszkot]

przesłuchałem tyle coverów...ale żaden ale to żaden nie jest w stanie przebić feelingu Tylera

[ekirSTy]

I love it! ST 's voice made by gold!

And i love too when he's screaming!!!

I love them!

Great band with fantastic, powerful frontman!

[janieusa]

Beautiful and very touching..to Steven's father. LOVED it!!!!!!

[Chaos51368]

This wasn't but a couple of months after they lost his Mom. Very touching especially when you know that.

[manteca080]

Thanks for this video!

[sueellen360]

@DivineFellowship fuck u

[742512345689]

@sueellen360

yeah fuck him wtf steven tyler one of the greatest tenors that ever lived, behind steve perry of course :D

[janieusa]

@742512345689 That's debateable, and I really like Steve Perry's voice, too.

[nourthshoure]

@DivineFellowship You're fucking stupid man. His voice is fucking gold.

[DivineFellowship]

@nourthshoure -- To the denizens of hell, maybe.

[sueellen360]

@DivineFellowship why did you even see the video?

[sueellen360]

@DivineFellowship ... Tyler isn't a douchebag, hey he can scream but he can also sing, like it or not. He invited Steven to the show, he must think different

[aerosmithmotleycrue]

@DivineFellowship then you obviously havent grown up yet, even though you saw them on the Toys tour which means your what, 50? That doesnt say anything to help you anyway nothing to support anything you said.  This is great music, Aerosmith is great music, and Steven Tyler is an amazing singer. and he must be doing something right cuz Aerosmith has been touring for 40 years. how long have you been going for. I'm 19 and I know what music is and what singing is, so I guess I'm grown up then.

[nourthshoure]

@DivineFellowship I hope one day you realize how stupid you sounded today. And that all of the world had a chance to see your thoughts and wonder who you wanted to impress using your "sophisticated" vocabulary and your pitiful attempts to be unique.

[ICantBelieveItsA23]

@DivineFellowship You Justin Beiber fan! Listen to good music like Steven Tyler, why don't you!?

[pegaso82]

@DivineFellowship hahahhaa sure you are not good a good musician, never. acept it. Steven Tyler kick yor ass. That frog lips change lifes. hahahahah say what you want

[MDzVQPln]

This never fails to bring me to tears and yet ...yes I am smiling!~I must have seen the entire concert maybe 100 times it is totally awesome! But I come here often~just to listen to this segment, my favorite rendition of "Smile", I remain in AWE of Steven while his "heart was breaking" mourning the loss of his Mom, and admire his dedication and how he beams with love & respect for his Dad!

I relate and dedicate this to my Dad remembering my departed Mom on her recent birthday. I love you Daddy

[CAP1997FURACAO]

this song tells me to smile,but makes me wanna cry 

[Thorgal20]

@sueellen360  Yeah yeah totally agree with you.

[Thorgal20]

suellen360 my best friend from Youtube, You've always got some great stuff with Aerosmith:) I salute you. ANd yeah this performance was just beatiful. Steven is great singer, One of the best.
