Biography

Aerosmith is the American hard rock band fronted by the charismatic frontman Steven Tyler who, following a self-induced implosion in the early 1980s, went on to stage one of the most successful comebacks in rock history.

The band earned its stripes in the early days by touring, so their… Read more in Amazon's Aerosmith Store

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Quite the Tops, March 14, 2001
By 
Z (Evanston, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Classics Live (Audio CD)
I'll give this one 4 stars just based on the songs but that's about as far as it goes. You get classic tunes like "Dream On" as well as lesser known masterpieces such as "Kings and Queens." However, for a band that has such a high reputation on the stage, they can do better than this. And they have. "Live Bootleg" as well as all other live albums since have surpassed "Classics Live 1" just based on the energy put into it.

The problem with the production of this record was that it was recorded msotly during the band's dark years of the early 80s. As a result, you don't get the classic lineup on most of the tunes. Jimmy Crespo and Rick Dufay are no match for Perry/Whitford. You really feel the difference on this record. It shows you what the basis of Aerosmith's sound is all about and how this album doesn't contain it.

This is definitely a valuable purchase if for no other reason than that it contains "Major Barbara", which is aware nowhere else. But in the end, this should not be your last stop for live Aerosmith.

5.0 out of 5 stars Almost perfect!, February 24, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Classics Live (Audio CD)
This album is a live collection of the songs that made Aerosmith famous (except for Three Mile Smile, Reefer Headed Woman and Major Barbara) and, as everyone knows, Aerosmith rules live! Sometimes Aerosmith's songs are best when recorded live. If you want real good live material get this and Live! Bootleg.
