This is a great video with great versions of "Seasons Of Wither", "Walkin' The Dog", and "Milk Cow Blues". Here is the set list:

1) Rats In The Cellar

You can find "Lord Of The Thighs", "I Wanna Know Why", and "Big Ten-Inch Record" from this show on "Pandora's Box" box set.

Remember the old saying, "Drugs brings out the best in live bands." OK, maybe that was never said before...

Aerosmith headlined the Live Texxas Jam '78 concert. This VHS will give older fans nostlagic trips all day. Aerosmith in the 1970s, from what I've heard/read, were the greatest live band in the world. They had more of an edge - reckless like crazy! I still think they are the greatest band (live/studio) in the world...

The 70s were the glory years for Aerosmith. But it got ugly. In the late 70s, the band was crumbling. After all those years, the drugs caught up. Egos were clashes. The wives were fighting. Everyone was snorting away their fortunes. Joe Perry and Steven Tyler were neglecting one another.The band miserably failed to follow up on their multi-platnium selling album ROCKS with a ...poor, half-hearted effort in DRAW THE LINE.

Live Texxas Jam is a good example of Aerosmith allowing the drugs to take over. The band is wasted. The close-ups on Steven and Tom Hamilton are pretty bad. Steven screws up the first couple of lyrics on "Rats In The Cellar." I frequently notice him shouting out "mumba-jahba" for substitutes to lyrics he doesn't remember. Steven's swinging his mic stand, nearly hitting Joe Perry (on purpose) in the process.

BUT THE ENERGY....AAAHHH THE ENERGY....

This VHS is classic. As a teenage fan, I cherish this VHS because, well, I wasn't around during the band's glory years. So, what are my favorite songs on this tape? All of them of course, but "Season's Of Wither," "I Wanna Know Why," and "Walkin The Dog" are the songs I most often anticpate while watching.

Sure, 1978 wasn't Aerosmith most memorable year, but it sure is fun watching them on stage - raw, uncut and kicking [butt]...despite their condition.

This VHS is a must for all Aerosmith fans.

*I will be reviewing all of Aerosmith's albums over time, so make sure you remember my name*

On the other hand, this video represents Aerosmith at their jamming and grooving best from the 70's. This would qualify for a 5 star rating. Sadly, I'll have to subtract a couple because of mr. Tyler's condition (he forgets/screws up lyrics, his voice breaks, and he yells out the wrong guitarists name during a solo).

Still, interesting and entertaining, and I shouldn't complain about performers conditions... I'm a Johnny Thunders fan.

In 1978 Aerosmith headlined this concert. I found this tape very enjoyable and shows new Aerosmith fans what their shows used to be like and it shows Aerosmith's diehard fans some of their greatest hit like, "Walk this way","Walkin' the dog", and "A Lick and a Promise". I highly suggest this video if you are a die-hard Aerosmith fan like me.

What a great show this would have been to attend. There are no finer performers than Aerosmith. This show kicks ass. The only thing that could have made the tape better is if they had just let the cameras roll, limited the editing and given more behind the scene footage.

I've noticed a few reviews on Amazon mention how Tyler "royally screwed up on the lyrics of songs"(barbara smith knows who I'm talkin about). What the hell is she crowing about? Here's one of the biggest talents in the history of rock in rare form and gettin' it done. Tyler is riffin' and rollin'. Let him do his thing.

Someone else named MG wrote "where's Joe?" and called the tape a disappointment. I would call him a disappoinment claiming he even knows who Joe Perry is. The kid should be pistol whipped and dragged by mule through the streets of Boston. Joe Perry is rockin' 150,000 fans and is part of the reason it was the hottest day recorded in a decade. He lit the place up with his brilliant performance.

Anyone who fails to understand that this is a classic performance in the history of rock should be forced to watch Michael Bolton videos until their eyes bleed.
