My brother had alot of great music on 8 track and vinyl that I couldnt stay out of. This record was one of them. The smoky feel and realness of this recording puts me back in my room of my parents house with the headphones on rocking out. Most of the stuff thats out there nowdays will try, but never match the level of cool that early Aerosmith gave us. Raw, pure, American rock n roll. That's why I had to buy it 33 years later.
This was one of my favorite albums when it came out during my junior year of high school (in 8-track). It doesn't hold up quite as well after 30 years, but is still a good representation of one of the best rocking bands of the era when they were still in their heyday.
of drugs taking the band over, they are in fine form here, a bit ragged, but great jam on Mother Popcorn, and for years the only place to get Chip Away The Stone
This is worth downloading if only for I Ain't Got You and Mother Popcorn. Seriously, Tyler doing James Brown? One of my all time favorite version of Pop Corn. Destined for the colection of every closet rock funkster or funk rockster. Overall, I give the whole album 4 stars. But those two tracks are 5's
I wore this 8-track out.....gritty blues-rock that demanded i learn how to play the guitar. Awesome album here people.
Introducing yourself to 70s Aerosmtih? Then this album should be your third step (after either Greatest Hits/Gems or Toys in the Attic/Rocks). The best and most energetic Aerosmith live album, and the intimate performances of I Ain't Got You and Mother Popcorn are gems.
It's all here. I forgot that "Draw the Line" was a hidden track on the record, and it's hidden here too. The is a fantastic live album from the time before Aerosmith sold out.
Back in the late 70's I used to listen to this on 8 track in my car with friends while experimenting with various pharmaceuticals. I guess it could be called one of the sound tracks of my youth. Not a bad live album, raw and to the point. And of course it has all the classics. Thumbs up!
