i have fond memories of these two things from the 70s

Live Bootleg was my first introduction to aerosmith and like most i kept up with them up until get a grip. everything after that was just kinda meh as they moved to appeal to everyone (which is their right)
i seen them live i think 3 or 4 times during pump and get a grip tours and they (especially steven) always played with such energy much like mick and the boys
i dont think i could pick a favorite song out as most of their early catalogue were all pretty solid to me
Coleco football was great. I never had one, but my friend’s family went to the Twin Cities for a baseball game and he came back with one. Then for a week he was everyone’s friend.
Aerosmith for me is similar to Billy Corgan/Smashing Pumpkins in that the quality range is extremely wide. Aerosmith at its best (Rocks, Toy sin the Attic) is great. At they're worst (whatever that latest album was called), they're absolutely awful.
While it's been a long time now since I've seen them, they were always a fun show. It's not something I would attend hoping for a moment of catharsis, but if I just wanted to have a few drinks and have some fun with some friends, it was the perfect experience for that.

Yeah i can kind of get behind this. I was a MASSIVE Pumpkins fans thru Mellon Collie, then they just totally lost me.
Aerosmith i kind of like their 70s hits, kind of grew up on their mid to late 80s stuff and still have a soft spot for the Pump singles. Always loved Livin' On The Edge but absolutely nothing that came later.
Anyone else been watching the concert series they've been putting up on youtube? Quite a few good shows but the drop oof on the last show (2016) is massive. Got me thinking that PJ will have a similar drop again in ten years or so.
