i always like Fil's phrase "let's see how they get on" when introducing some of the finest bands & musicians in the plethora of rock.
@Alfred Hernandez lol well they invited more song writers to help them write songs I guess I mean if a good rock band can last a decade like Aerosmith and maybe Zeppelin I know they played a few covers. Then maybe they used what they could to try to keep the rock genre alive. Young bands like Royal Blood, hell even Greta van Fleet Rival sons. Even younger women like the trio of sisters from Monterey called the Warning. Lillian from Romania. Motio Device from Canada.
When they first came out we thought they were a dime-store version of The Rolling Stones.
But they hung in there, and they were good, and they got better.
Then drugs almost took that band out. Then they got straight and made it back. They continued to produce hit records. Hats off to Aerosmith. They Rock.
My ex wife once told me that Aerosmith was a DISCO BAND, that was the beginning of her being my ex
Disco band?? That's too funny.🤯
Just last week, my daughter found an old case at my parents', filled with albums of mine that I hadn't seen in years. She flipped through them and I was telling her to take this one or that one home; then she pulled out Toys in the Attic. We both hollered, "YES!" and then again when she found Rocks. She was so excited!
I raised that girl right. 😄
They weren't just underrated they were ignored. Damn fine band and so many songs should be #1s.
That’s probably the shortest version of “Train Kept a Rollin’” that I ever heard Aerosmith perform. Thanks for featuring this.
Anyone else see that episode of American Pickers, where they had found Aerosmith's 1st tour bus?
That van was included in the intro video at their recent Las Vegas shows. The van was used when they were on the NH/VT club circuit in '71.
@@pbracey1 Here it is. th-cam.com/video/BejhhwjyDHA/w-d-xo.html
Who else thinks Danielle's from American Pickers is nice.. ..hot... I mean nice
Ya...that was a cool ep..👍☺️
Yep, I saw it!
I remember the midnight special
Remember staying up waaaaay past your bedtime to watch?
@@NuclearGrizzly
Yes I remember. Loved it
@@NuclearGrizzly Us back then..didn't know what a gem we had in the Midnight Special
@@NuclearGrizzly Yes sir!
Mike Ingram you remember Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert?
Oh man. The Midnight Special! That and Don Kirschners Rock Concert were how us small town kids discovered the thrill of live rock music back in the 70s.
And I didn't know Joe didn't play on the record. I just thought he played however he felt like playing when he did it live.
As usual Fil educates as he entertains. Kudos.
Aerosmith was awesome during their drugs and alcohol days!!! We’re I’m from Their Rock Gods!!! Rocks is my favorite album!!
Boston?
Mitch et't'ie Oui monsieur!!
Jazz Cat way back they were awesome ( first four albums)....Now I’m embarrassed to say I ever liked them.
@@jazzcat8786 I'm gonna have to look that up to see what it is.lol
Mitch et't'ie Ha Ha I saw your last name and thought you were French😂. I’m a dumb ass!! It just means “yes sir”
Get Your Wings, Toys and Rocks are quintessential 70's rock.
A sick fact: Steven hit an E6 on "Crazy". He's unbelievable.
The first time I saw Aerosmith was 1973 and I’d never heard of them. It was a Mott The Hoople concert with Robin Trower. Aerosmith led off the night and pow I’d never seen or heard anything like it! The crowd was chanting Aerosmith, Aerosmith after their set! Incredible. I saw them 11 times after that and not sure any of those shows were as good but they were now my number one band! Thanks for all the info Fil! Love your smile as you watch. Take care!🎸🎸
Steve Tyler just blows my socks off. Bombastic screams amidst bluesy almost country rock. What treasure.
He screams. He's annoying!!!
Love the story Joe tells of having to sell some of his favorite guitars when he was tight on money. Slash gave him back one of his favorite guitars he sold for his 50th bday.
I was at Joe's 50th birthday party at his & Steven's Mt Blue restaurant. He had hired Cheap Trick to play & Joe literally let the guitar around his shoulders drop to the floor when his roadie brought out his long lost Les Paul that Slash sent as a surprise gift.
I was 8 then but I remember the show Midnight Special. It always reminded me of the Grand Old Opery but for rock. 🤗
Lol Me too, The 70's Rocked. I'd go back in a minute if I could. There's a few things I'd leave out probably. ✌️
Morgan Sparhawk Truth😂😂

Wow, Fil another Great Analysis.
You know it's kinda funny about
this Particular Song, I always LOVED the lead riff's to this song
and wasn't good enough ( at that
time ) to play it. Finally around 15 years ago, my skills advanced
Expodentially to were I can play it note for note! I prefer the studio
Version instead of the live version's, and yes I wholeheartedly agree with you about Joe's Style,
He's such a GREAT Guitarist and
Musician, it's Amazing how he can
Cram so many notes into a small
Space. Sometimes it sounds like
He's Totally OFF BEAT, but then he manages to get Back into the Groove just in time. Joe Definitely has a Powerful and Unique Style,
when he gets going, he's what me
and my friends call the ' Skatter -
Brain ' Riffs lol.........I Dig it.
As usual Fil, Thanks again and
Looking forward to More Gold!
🎸💚
YES! ❤️Aerosmith!!!
I LOVE how big your smile gets when listening to your genre of music ... 80’s/90’s rock was THE BEST!!
Saw Aerosmith in October of 74. Our local park in mckeesport pa. Outside Pittsburgh. Been a fan ever since. Free concert, my first concert.
Aerosmith was one of my favorite bands of all time! I have all their CD'S! Could listen to them all the time.
Aerosmith Toys in the Attic 1975 was my first show at the fabulous forum in Los Angeles CA! I was 14yrs old and I've been a Aerosmith fan ever since! went out and bought a Strat and a Marshall stack and the rest is history!
Back when they didn’t suck. The first four albums were masterpieces.
Their fifth album, Draw the Line, was a fine album as well.
agreed first 4. draw had a few good songs
Peter true. That has some good songs...Draw the Line was a great song.
@@pbracey1 They were stretching it a little thin by that point but I agree, they somehow held it together for that album, it's better than it gets credit for.
@@pbracey1 Night in the Ruts was nothing to sneeze at either. Not as memorable as the first 4 but I owned it nonetheless. I saw them several times including the Rock in a Hard place tour. Tyler seemed a mess for that show. Rocks was their pinnacle in my estimation.
One of my top 3 in the midst of their greatest era. Well done
Thanks, Fil, haven't seen this clip before. I saw them live in 2013 and they were as energetic and entertaining as ever.
One of the staple rocks of my early teens..love the analysis and the post.
Thank you for your unbiased critique
I remember waaaay back when they used to play at " the barn". In sunapee nh. I lived around the corner.
That's true " The Barn"...I've heard many stories about that place,in fact my ex watched them play there many times ! I live here now and met Steven in the harbor a few times just walking around,a very nice and friendly guy ! He has a house on the lake and I even had him as a distant neighbor ( about a 1/2 mile ) on the lake for about 5 years !
Yes you will see him around sunapee once in a while
I use to love 'the Midnight Special'. Though I was young, I knew I was witnessing greatness.
I believe Wolfman Jack was on the Midnight Special on Saturday nights...classic!!!!!!!
I was hoping you were going to address Stevens voice. I remember reading in his first book about how he said he tried to make his voice sound deeper in the beginning of his career...you can definitely hear the difference in the early albums. Such a great band! Lucky to have seen them so many times. Thanks Fil 🙏🏼 excellent as always!! 🤘
My brother saw them live at least twice that I know of! So cool you got to see them too! ❤️
I saw them live twice. Wonderful band.
Wow Fil excellent tribute to Aerosmith one of my favourite music band and what a nice thing for you to have related their stories you are again I repeat myself a Teacher in music story and I love you for doing that so very much !!!Rock!!
Great analysis and insight.I never new Joe didnt play the original solo. Which I'm kinda bummed about hearing. However thier 70s stuff is still some of my go back to favorites. Joe's riffs are unique and that's what I loved about him. I dont think he ever took a guitar lesson.
Man - so much natural talent.
Steven has super natural vocals that he can still pull these songs off.
Thank you Fil 💜
Loved The Midnight Special!!!! You ROCK Fil!!!
Rocks, great album, my younger brother brought it back with him from a trip to New York and he was wearing a Bowmar digital watch which was amazing back then.
My hometown Heroes(Boston,Ma).
Ran into all if them individually at different times throughout the 80's and 90's.
Some of the best commentary on the band I have ever heard, one of my favorite bands back then in a massively competitive field, that is putting it very mildly, the competition was probably the best of any era ever, IMHO. Your input about joe was right on, he seemed to pull notes out of places you could not have expected, and just smoked the performance with more art than just pumping out notes and volume. They were so great live, I saw them a bunch, we even stayed up all night outside waiting for tickets to get way up front, those were the days. Ears ringing for hours!
Living legends.👍 What's really amazing is that they still have all the original members! I've seen them live a few times over the years.
Initially, at least, Aerosmith were written off a a poor man's Rolling Stones but, anyone with ears can hear it is obvious that the Bostonian behemoths clearly come from the Little Richard school of rock!
Yeah, they were initially compared to the Rolling Stones I think due to the "Visuals", the combination of Steven Tyler & Joe Perry kind of reminds you of Mick Jagger & Keith Richard, but I think that is where the similarities stop, I would say that early Aerosmith was much more influenced musically by The Yardbirds than the Rolling Stones, and Joe Perry does have a touch of that Jimmy Page "Edge" too.
In 2004, I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing was the song my wife & I chose for our first dance as husband & wife at our wedding. It was an awesome piece of music, which we both loved, & everyone thought it was great.
Mama Kin, Moving Out. Raw and Wonderful.
Just great ! Thank you Seen them concert, very memorable.
thanks for your analyses. I Incline toward british bands (but I'm American) thank goodness we're all different. You work so hard Fil, it doesn't go unnoticed by your real fans.
When Guitar Hero started getting big I was working in a music store. A lot of players mocked the game, and I get where they’re coming from, but I saw a lot of kids get signing up for lessons because they wanted to the real thing after playing the game.
One of my favorite bands! I love your channel Fil!
We used to do Sweet Emotion and No More No More in our band. Fun songs to play. Years later my daughter gets Guitar Hero Aerosmith and she and I jammed for hours to that game. If anything GH opened a lot of classic rock up to the younger generations. Thanks Fil
Oh Fil... started high school in ‘84. Befriended seniors and was soon riding to school not on the bus but in a ‘79 hyped up Trans Am with a tape deck and Aerosmith Greatest Hits blaring at 0800 hrs all the way to school. Now in ‘19 I’m lucky to get my fat “hind quarters” out of bed by 0800 hrs.
I've stood ar Garcia's feet and Warren Haynes and many others, but by far rhe single greatest instrumental facility I've ever witnessed, just as far as the rock and roll impact it had upon me, was being right up front and watching Joe Perry as a young man. To see him stand shirtless in those black leather pants right in front of his Marshall stacks, Lord have mercy-it was just magic and the memory is seared into my brain though its nearly 40 years later.. It was THAT powerful. And my ears rang for days- delightfully rang. 😋
This song just gets better and better.so does. Tyler’s mouth-wooo- love your homework👍I loved this band, they were Rock n Roll. And I’m impressed you knew a lot thanks for sharing.😉
He's awesome helped me appreciate music much more than what I already did!!!, thank you Fil!!!! Please keep smiling, you have an awesome smile, I love how the smile breaks through when you really love parts of the art oof music!!!! I even am considering learning how to play guitar at my age!!!
😂 and why not!
Thanks for reminding me of my debauchery of Guitar Hero's! On a serious note I love Aerosmith, they are timeless and I am thankful that I have had the chance to see them live several times. Awesome band even to this day. ^m^😎^m^
Came here checking if you 'did" the Aerosmith performance of "Baby Please Don't Go" (I mentioned it in my 5/19/20 live stream comment) I stayed till the end of the analysis. Thanks Fil.
And proud to say I own the complete set of the Midnight Specials!
I think the movie was Armogeddon with Ben Aflac and Steve Tylor's daughter Liv.
This is another group that takes me back but then I remember malt shops and saddleoxfords too so I quite literally grew up with rock n roll.
Yes it was Armageddon not Pearl Harbor ! Funny enough they both stared his daughter Liv 😉
Liv was raised by Tod Rudgren and didn't know Tyler was her father till she was almost an adult .
@@gilbertspader7974 Now, that's very true, i have heard that b4...
jeffery wise you remember Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert?
Snodgrass Gerald How about the King Biscuit Flour Hour ???
Fil, you really amaze me with your depth of knowledge and insight!
Thanks!
Many thumbs up for another informative analysis, Prof Fil! :) \m/
They were young here. Incredible! This isn't my favorite song, but they are still good. Thanks Fil! ❤️🌹❤️
We hitched a ride 150 miles down to Cincinnati in 1978 . Met eyes with Tyler & Perry coming out to clime steps. I was on the right side of their steps and met eyes right before they had to start those steps .So close to the stage !! Awesome show. Blessings to them !! ❤
1974. watched this show. 12 going on 13. Ex bro in Law was a huge fan. Turned me on to this band, struggling to make it. Saw them at the Orpheum Theater in Boston during their Toxic Twins days. Steven was so wasted, he needed cue cards to remember lyrics to classic A songs. When Joe left, I left. When Joe & Brad returned, I returned. Great stuff. I know a lot of people think they stunk after the reunion. I have found music on eviry album that I liked. Even on Honking with Bo Bo.
My favorite band back in the day. Saw them countless times in the 70's and 80's. Would love to see you review Rats in the Cellar live in 1997 on Dutch TV.
my favorite band growing up in the seventies.....1st four albums defines who Aerosmith are to me....don't know any of their later albums....lol......of course, another great video!....looking forward to the next!.....thank you
I graduated high school in 83 in SE Michigan. This song was like a rock-n-roll anthem among me and my friends. To this day I simply cannot listen to this song without just absolutely cranking up the volume. I have to say, though, the studio version of this song just blows away the live performance. I hate to say that because I know any studio version of a song is always going to have a huge advantage over a live version. And this is not to say the sucked or anything in this live version. Aerosmith is full of great musicians. I just think the guitar solos and vocals of the studio version are just so top notch any live version is just going to pale in comparison. And it doesn't help that they made the studio version "sound like" a concert recording so when you hear an actual concert recording you're bound to be disappointed. I was actually disappointed when many years later I read that the studio version was not actually recorded live, but just dubbed over after the fact to make it seem like it was. Even so, it's the iconic version that I prefer.
We were sitting around an apartment doing our normal extra curricular activities watching Midnight Special when this aired. I saw them for the first time in Sedalia, MO @ the Ozark Music Festival July 19-21, 1974 & they rocked their asses off even tho it was a HOT MISERABLE 100' Friday night. Unbelievable. I created a FB Group (same as above, name & date) if you ever want to see pics of them there, taken by Richard Galbraith of Enid, OK. Tyler was wearing same outfit I think,.....quite the showman like Jagger. I sold a lot of Aerosmith back in the early 80's w/ Peaches Records & again in 94 at Hastings, a whole different fan base. Amazing.
Oh wow! I'm from Sedalia, and was working across the street from the fairgrounds at the State Fair Shopping Center while all that was going on. Yeah, one of the hottest summers on record - just miserable. I won't go into the details of the horror stories, but there were plenty of them. On the other hand, I'll say now what I always said then when watching the Midnight Special. Those guys sure have pretty hair!
In 73 my best friend moved to New Hampshire and wrote me a letter telling me about a band called Aerosmith. Didn't think about it much until the following year when I heard them on the radio. Been a fan ever since.
Joe Perry is not only a great guitarist Joe had/has the Coolest lead guitarist look. Love Aerosmith and I still go to Vegas just to see them.
I love listening to your commentary, you should teach one of those master classes online.
I Love Aerosmith.. I remember seeing them in a concert back in the day for like $20.- $30.00 for floor seats.. They Are Awesome !!
Lisa Galante Ha! I saw them for $8.50 back in the day...late 70’s...the best! 🤘
@@klmjtr
Awesome. You got a better deal then I did..
LOL 😂
Nice job, Fil on the Bad Boys of Boston. Did not know that Joe Perry did not play lead on recorded version of Train Kept A Rollin.
Hello Fil...! I discovery this show of Aerosmith ...! Good explication for each movements..i appreciate your précise and fun attitude...Always for us to learn for capture.! Fil.! With you every night. M'y Angel. Thank you for all ..!🌹💌🎸🎸
Once again, you analysis is spot on and second to none. Peace, love and Aerosmith.
Yes! Always had friends stay over to watch The Midnight Special! Mom let us stay up. Lol
Slipped out the window a few nights to I bet.
I won't tell. ✌️
Great analysis, Fil. You really do your homework. Always informative. Thank you.
Aerosmith a great band, great sound, great musicians. Tasty riffs and rhythms from Joe Perry and top it off with crazy vocals from Steven Tyler and you have a great recipe for success. Love Aerosmith especially the older stuff.
Mornin Fil.....happy Monday. This was pre Mcydees/Duncan 🍩...Rock n Roll at it finest....of coarse back around this time, its quite possible the boys hadn't had a samitch in a while...lmao...Im pretty sure Steven is higher than a kite in this ONE.....he he he....great throwback!
I got caught sneaking into an Aerosmith show,at a night club,in Salisbury Beach,Mass. A place called the Frolics,I went around the front, and got back in.Aerosmith hadn't released their first album yet . They were raw and rocking, while leaving security recognised me and said 'Come here you little bastard!' I was 16 and wasn't supposed to be a joint that served booze,I high tailed it out there, good times!
HI FIL YOU DO A VERY GOOD JOB LOVE YOU AND YOUR VIDEOES.THEY ROCK. THANKYOU FIL. YOU ARE THE BEST. PEACE AND LOVE
Pure rock n roll and that’s that.
Woo finally someone doing something other than Dream On! Love the song but good to see someone reacting to a different one.
In Austin, Texas in the mid to late '90's they used train songs as a guitar picking contest. This is a winner for sure! A guitar, being a machine, can be made to sound like another machine. It's pretty easy, I've heard three chord strums that sounded like a train. I used percussion, but the drums on this were, obviously, the right instrument.
One of my train songs has an interesting history. I was driving a taxicab and had just bought a guitar and was starting over. One of my customers was Rusty Wier, author of "Don't It Make You Wanna Dance", a big Platinum hit done by several country artists including Bonnie Raitt. He ran the Rusty Wier Singer/Songwriter Showcase at Gino's Italian Bar & Grille every Wednesday night in Austin, Texas. I did at least 150 of those shows.
Taxi zone 102 was bisected by the Mopac railroad track. Several times, I was annoyed by seeing a train stopped on the tracks at the crossing, making me go around. "Why," I thought, "is this train stopped on the tracks in the middle of the night?"
One night I picked up Rusty at the Saxon Pub and got stopped by the train. The train was moving at slow walking speed and there were several policemen with flashlights looking on the ground. Parked nearby was the Coroner's meatwagon. "Rusty, look! Somebody got run over by the train!" But Rusty was drunk and it didn't seem to register.
I started asking around and found out that the homeless camp at Mopac and Barton Springs was the source of this. I bought them a case of beer and it loosened their tongues. Some Vietnam veteran would get a far away look in his eyes and disappear, then the train would stop. These were not accidents, they were suicides. THEY WERE NEVER REPORTED IN THE NEWSPAPERS. There were at least 25 of them, then more as time rolled on.
I wrote "Tunnellite" for Rusty's show to see if it would register. The words "tunnel" and "light" never appeared in the song. It came from a quote by an Army general, "I can see the light at the end of the tunnel," and some musician (Frank Zappa?) said it was a train. The writing process started when I came up with a lick (14th fret D) that sounded like "Giant headllight burning bright".
It didn't register with Rusty, but it was a crowd favorite. W's toadies didn't like it, they wanted to keep these suicides secret.
His voice is so good!
What a talented singer
Aerosmith a great live band. Saw them back in 77. Very solid tight live. Steven Tyler an excellent frontman with that Rock star attitude. Always a fan of the band. Interesting to see them progress musically from their first album onward. Toys in the Attic and Rocks were masterpieces in my mind. Rocks being my favourite Aerosmith album, played it to death! Great Review Fil!😎🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦
Let me keep this train rolling. Thought I'd stop by to visit the band responsible for my 45 year music affair with Frank Marino. Mahogany Rush opened for Aerosmith at a show in '75 TitA tour. Frank blew me away, and Aerosmith was pretty good. Good job on this Fil.
This was the old folks MTV except everything was live. I used to love watching this show. It was our way of seeing these guys live before we saw them live. Then we got MTV and that changed everything.
I going to say it: "Led Zeppelin", "The Who" and "Aerosmith", my favorite bands of all time (and my favorite; too close to call). Introduced to them by a friend as we were racing motocross in the mid '70's; good times and good sounds...……...ROCK! Thanks Fil, I've been waiting for your review of "Aerosmith".
I have always loved the grittiness, slightly unpolished, unapologetic tone and overall style of Aerosmith. I have seen them live around 14 times and always had a great time at their shows, throughout the years. I think of any other rock band, Aerosmith adapted and evolved their sound and direction more times and certainly more successfully than any other band in history. While some may say they sold out or went mainstream, they really just kept evolving in their own way, a way that other bands then adopted in THEIR attempts to sell out. They set the standard for having an ability to change and attract new audiences over several decades. Great analysis as always! Cheers!
Joe Perry is naturally left handed, but as a kid, he (inadvertently) learned to play guitar right handed. In an inteview some years ago, he explained how and why that happened. The inteviewer asked him if he ever tried to switch to lefty playing, and Joe said yes, but by the time he tried to do that (in his twenties) it was too late, and if it works, why fix it. :) He's one of the best guitarist there is IMHO!! Great review yet again, Fil! Cheers! :)
Great song. Well done.
Aerosmith is great. I never heard this song before.
Superlative analysis video on an iconic rock band. They really are the perfect example how a band can change with the times and be extremely successful. Good choices on what to discuss and GREAT choice of the video itself. I should suggest a review on TRIUMPH.
Steve Tyler said most of the tunes that we love from them..Him and Joe Perry were usually tripping..still love the Guys though. ..thanks Fil
Thank you Fil, for finally covering Aerosmith. Great breakdown! Well done. Great performance as well!!!
I Love this song! Steve & Dick on the original? I learned something new.
It was in the news in July this year that their touring van of early days was found and restored. If you want to, you can easily find it by searching with "American pickers Aerosmith van" or "Aerosmith van restored" or something similar. :) There is also a short videoclip where the van was presented to the band.
My first garage band
Bringing me back to the 8 track days and waiting up with friends for 11pm to listen to the Midnight Special on the radio. Nice.
Lived for the Midnight Special! The first time I saw Queen was on that show! Thanks Fil! Great video 👍🤘🤘🤘💗
Saw them in Vegas on the 4th of July and they opened with this. They were phenomenal.
When my sister bought me Get Your Wings on a 8 track tape for Christmas in 1976 that was my first hard rock tape I ever owned I was 14 and Iv'e been a huge Aerosmith fan ever since. It's hard to believe all 5 original members are still together and jamming to this day.
Same! 1st 8-track of GYW, but in '75 at 13. Still my favorite album . I could play it on permanent loop....
I really like Aerosmith! But one thing I've never really liked is Joe Perry's lead work. I think you touched on it a bit when you were talking about his unique use of pentatonic scales. But his solo's always feel like they're fighting against the flow of the song (if that makes sense).
Thats why Perry's unique.
Little on the sloppy side lol hell when I saw them Brad Whitford was no slouch
@@Longhorn.Rock_Roll61 Brad is the better lead player. Listen to Nobody's Fault...or his album he made with Derek St. Holmes. But you can't deny that Joe is an absolute BEAST when it comes to actually writing riffs.
Sloppy Joe Perry is not as good a guitarist as Brad Whitford. Perry's weak lead play is why the studio version of this song was recorded by outside guitarists.
Great details. Thanks.
