LIVE! BOOTLEG has been digitally remastered using Sony's 20-Bit Digital Super Bit Mapping process. This release includes new deluxe packaging with original release liner notes, photos and artwork.
Aerosmith: Steven Tyler (vocals, piano); Joe Perry, Brad Whitford (guitar); Tom Hamilton (bass); Joey Kramer (drums).
Additional personnel: David Woodford (saxophone); Mark Radice (keyboards, background vocals).
Engineers: Lee DeCarlo, Jack Douglas, Jay Messina.
Recorded live between 1973 and 1978.
In addition to being one of the greatest American hard rock bands of the '70s (Kiss being the other one), Aerosmith developed a reputation as one of the fiercest live acts thanks to a grueling tour schedule. Inspired by the countless unauthorized live recordings circulating at the time, the band put out LIVE: BOOTLEG, a collection of performances recorded between 1977 and 1978, in addition to a pair of early cuts from a 1973 WBCN simulcast.
Unlike many live albums that of this time period that were overdubbed and doctored, BOOTLEG is Aerosmith at its rawest. "Back in the Saddle" and "Toys in the Attic" contain plenty of ragged guitar playing. Despite the sub-par sound quality, the tracks triumph nonetheless thanks to the primal vibe generated by the band's chemistry. Yes, hits like "Walk This Way" and "Dream On" are included, but the true gems are oft-overlooked nuggets like "Chip Away the Stone," "Mama Kin," and an uncredited "Draw the Line" that overflow with Aerosmith's trademark sass and attitude. James Brown's "Mother Popcorn" and the blues classic "I Ain't Got You" (originally done by the Yardbirds), not only show the band's range, but its love of black music.

Pros: Contains all the well-known classics and some rare covers.
Cons: Some of the performance is downright poor.
The Bottom Line: I know raw performances are exciting, but some of the tracks are just painful to listen to. Overlook that and enjoy the better stuff on show.
Review: Live Bootleg was a tongue-in-cheek effort to beat the bootleggers at their own game. The cover was d

| | This Aerosmith live album is truly south of sanity (Aerosmith w/o)
by deadmilkboy, 3/23/2003 |

Pros: Every great Aerosmith song in their rawest in-concert incarnations.
Cons: Well, just a couple tiny qualms with the performances.
The Bottom Line: It's all about how great Aerosmith sound live when they don't need any slick production techniques, and it's their best live album so far.
