Heard that most if not all the eight(8) cuts on this CD was recorded live at a reunion gig that took place on New Year's Eve,1984. 'Classics Live! Vol.2' is decent,but certainly nothing to flip out over. The sound quality is,well good FOR a live recording as such. Tunes that lured me into keeping this disc handy for repeated spins were "Back In The Saddle", "Walk This Way", "Draw The Line" and "Toys In The Attic" (this song has always had special meaning to me). Worth checking out.

This is the better of the series, but that isn't saying much, considering poor playing, poor production, and poor track selection on "Classics Live 1." A couple of the usual suspects are here ("Back in the Saddle," "Walk This Way"), but the interesting stuff is Joe Perry's "Let the Music Do The Talking" and the first Tyler-Perry collaboration (and one of Aerosmith's best songs to date) "Movin' Out." But even so, "Classics Live 2" is almost as dull as the first. Overall: 4 out of 10.

... check out "South of Sanity" for live Aerosmith.

Aerosmith's successor to the weaker Classics Live has outdone itself. Unlike the first CD, Classics Live II was mastered by the band, so it has better sound quality. It features an AWESOME array of great songs, including Movin Out, where Steven says "no one knows the way but Joe Perry" - it's really different, and very neat. A must for the collection!! Also included in the Box of Fire, so maybe if you don't have this one you should buy them all!!

Classics Live 2 is 1000% better then its prediccesor Classics Live. Classics Live had the same callaber of songs but the performance came off as forced and streanus and tierd. But here you have all the key members of Aerosmith Steven, Joe, Brad, Tom , and Joey on all the songs. And all the songs are rock and roll classics not to mention Aerosmith standards. Joe Perry tore the joint down with every killer riff and face melting guitar solo. Brad Whitford, Tom Hamilton, and Joey Kramers rythm section is tighter then ever, and Stevens voice is almost flawless, almost as good as it is today! On Classics Live 1 Steven sounded, well not very good lets say for lack of better words, but here he pulls off all the high notes and still makes time to talk to the audience and play with the words. This is really a great live record that doesnt get as much credit as it should. Dont spend your money on part one unless you are a die hard fan like me. Just go For this one, because this is worth it for 'Let The Music Do The Talking' alone.
