Aerosmith

In July 1978, Aerosmith was riding high after the release of their fifth studio album, "Draw the Line," which came out earlier that year. This album marked a critical point in their career, showcasing their distinct blend of hard rock and blues, and included hits like the title track and "Get It Up." Despite facing personal challenges and internal tensions during this period, the band delivered a fiery performance at Selland Arena in Fresno, California, as captured in the video of "Chip Away The Stone." Interestingly, this live recording captures a band at a pivotal moment, where their dynamism on stage was a testament to their burgeoning reputation as rock icons, even as they navigated the complexities of fame and creative pressures.
