Description

Double album on clear vinyl with gatefold cover

This enticing broadcast performance was transmitted across the greater Virginia area by Westwood One FM in 1987. Recorded at Hampton Roads Coliseum, Hampton, VA on the 16th of November 1987 when Aerosmith were promoting their best selling album ever, the majestic yet dynamic masterwork, Permanent Vacation, which had been released three months earlier in the late summer. The set-list of course featured a number of cuts from this record, however the show was also notable for its wide selection of Aerosmith classics, taken from virtually every album the band had put out to date. The venue in Hampton has a capacity of 10,000 – Aerosmith had sold it out with ease. This period in the band s history might be thought of as their heyday; a time when Aerosmith were selling more records than they ever had previously, when their gigs were in larger halls than had been necessary before and when award after award was forthcoming, heavy rotation on MTV was par for the course and, it would appear, when the group could do no wrong. So from the opening announcer intro to his closing statement we get some prime Aerosmith,there isnt a duff moment here, its an excellent set of standards with the odd nugget thrown in, certainly the likes of Toys in the Attic and Same Old Song And Dance hammer the point home immediately while Back In The Saddle and Draw The Line are not as manic as in the past, almost laidback in comparison but there’s a groove that this band hits and when on their game its superb. Its great to hear Lightning Strikes and possibly my favourite version of Big 10 Inch Another highlight has to be the extended version (almost 10 minutes) of Rats In The Cellar, the mid section has the band jamming away and its pretty cool, now i’ve got a couple of gigs from that era, i’ll need to dig them out, i dont remember the band playing Rats like this, possibly something specifically for this gig as they knew it was being taped. Things end with a fantastic foursome, Dream On, Sweet Emotion, Walk This Way and Train Kept A Rollin which will keep your feet tapping. If youre looking for something live from this era, you could do a lot worse than go for this album
