Comments:
Excellent FM Broadcast. There are various CDcompilations of this concert but this is the only
one to carry the complete show. It has anexcellent raw sound with numbers from theirnew Toys in the Attic album.This
is simply one of those shows thatanswer's
the question "why do I loveAerosmith?"......kickass
rock and rollplayed
with wild abandon and with afierce
edge to it, all the time deliveringit
right on the money!!!!With
the release of 1975's Toys in theAttic,
'Smith had upped the ante byintroducing
a dreamy, Beatle-esquewhimsy
into their hard rock-solid sound. The result was perhaps thefinest
studio accomplishment of their entire career and included the funkyTop
Ten hit "Walk This Way," as well as bassist Tom Hamilton's crowning
achievement, the intro to "Sweet Emotion."Due to the excessive
consumption of whatever came their way off-stage, the band's reputation for
erratic performances grew steadily throughout the '70s, though none of that is
evident in this Central Park set. Steven Tyler's unique talent for thinly
veiled sexual innuendo is on full display during opener medley "Walking
the Dog / S.O.S. / Somebody" in which Perry and Whitford's one-two guitar
punch propels "Somebody." Up next is "Big Ten Inch" before
the mandatory "Sweet Emotion" and then the Bic-flicker opus
"Dream On." They end the hour-long set with "Toys In The
Attic."
