Customer Reviews

Good quality footage from the 1970s

Wow. This brings it all back. I was not at the Texxas Jam, but I saw Aerosmith on the "Draw the Line" tour. Compared to when I saw them, they are actually more sober on this video, but this is definitely the Toxic Twins in their heyday. (Joe Perry fell off the drum kit face first in Indianapolis on the same tour). They look so young, but anyone who saw them in this era was young and is old now. :(( I recommend this DVD for any Aerosmith fan from the 1970s.

While I highly recommend this item, it is not perfect. It only captures half of the set list. ("Dream On" and "Mama Kin/SOS" two critical omissions). The songs have been edited to make the video fit a certain time goal, perhaps a late night TV special. The ending jams of "Rats in the Cellar" and "Milk Cow Blues" are shortened, and other edits are noticeable - it is incredible how you can remember fine details when presented with actual sound and footage. The edits are tolerable, in order to have access to such footage - except there is a HUGE disappointment with "Toys in the Attic", one half of the kick butt closer is edited out, including two choruses with the signature riff.

In response to some items that appeared in the VHS reviews. The right side sound is lower in the mix, some VHS copies may or may not have lost it totally. The full mix is here, but the "right side" and Joe Perry is definitely lower in the mix, so you have to correct with some type of manual adjustment which should not be difficult. Ted Nugent is present for "Milk Cow Blues", and I disagree with reviews that say he blows away a wasted Aerosmith, Ted simply plays his style of guitar, while Aerosmith stays with their working man garage band style of playing.

If you were an Aerosmith fan in the 1970s, and want to feel again how it was back then, I would recommend this DVD.

wow , i mean this is it !!! if you were not there , then holy cow are we lucky that the dvd is now out. look at Joe Perry , he is gone. the "TOXIC TWINS" are loose, and Joey on drums is on. But wait theres more..... Ted "guitar" Nugent comes out so fresh and clean, for a rendition of "milk cow blues" and blows Joe Perry off the stage,,, it is all good, i dont think Joe even knew where he was that night in Dallas... i loved this concert... wow !!!

Buyer Beware
Was excited to see Amazon had links to outside vendors, since I wanted to own this DVD for sometime. Purchased the DVD, received it in the mail. Had a groud of Aerosmith fans over for the initial viewing and found out it was not compatable with North American DVD players... Lesson the hard way, be careful what you purchase and always prescreen before a party
