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. Professional Reviews Q (4/01, p.92) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Imagine thousands of Wisconsin college jocks out of their mind on Wild Turkey and their mum's diet pills, squinting at 5 midgets playing in the corner of a football stadium..."

LIVE BOOTLEG!!! WOOO I LOVE IT!!! I searched for a long long time to find this and I finally found it reposing in a dark corner of a Real Groovey store, and I was annoyed when I found I could have simply bought it right here!!! THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST LIVE ALBUMS YOU WILL EVER HEAR!!! When making it they took the best tracks from years and years worth of touring in their golden days and put them on this great record. BUY IT!!!
