Night in the Ruts

Burnt out from constant touring and their excessive life style, Aerosmith soldiered on into the studio only to be back on the road before the album was finished. The band was literally falling apart. Guitarist Joe Perry quit during tour, leaving session guitar player to finish the album. It's my opinion that this album would have been a great one if only the band had gotten their act together.

Live! Bootleg

It's not a real bootleg album, but an official live release from Aerosmith documenting their 1978 tour. It is a must have for Aerosmith fans!

At Texxas Jam, Dallas, Texas 7/1/1978

Aerosmith headlined one of the biggest concerts of 1978, the Texxas Jam. Steven Tyler and the boys kicked major ass in front of an audience of thousands. Ted Nugent guests stars in "Milk Cow Blues"

Draw the Line

The lines on the mirror are starting to show...literately. The excessive lifestyle has up the band
who calls this album unfocused. I think it's a great album! It may be a dark album, yet when the album shines, it glows brightly. Aerosmith takes no prisoners on the killer cuts like"The Hands that Feeds" and the title track. The Lord of the Rings like "Kings and Queens" and the blues jam "Milk Cow Blues" are some of my favorite tunes from Aerosmith.

At Budokon Tokyo, Japan 1977


A spectacular show from Aerosmith on tour in Japan supporting their Rocks album. Aerosmith is just as down and dirty in concert as there are in the studio. This is the earliest known bootleg I have from Areosmith.

Rocks

Probably the nastiest, the grittiest, the baddest assed record EVER! It's balls to to wall, first pumping, headbanging, mind blowing awesome! Aerosmith turns up the heat and delivers another classic album under the belt. If tunes like the anthemic "Back in the Saddle", the funky "Last Child" and feverish "Rats in the Cellar" won't melt your face with joy, nothing will!

Toys in the Attic


Aerosmith's 1975 classic breakthrough album, Toys in the Attic is a MUST for any collection! This landmark album pushes their Stones/Zep based hard rocking blues to their limits, matching up to their peers! Stand out tracks like the hyper-lyric "Walk this Way", the talk box guitar jibe of "Sweet Emotion" and the powerhouse title track jettisons the band into the stratosphere!
