Aerosmith

On December 30, 1982, Aerosmith delivered an electrifying performance at the HemisFair Arena in San Antonio. This concert came shortly after the release of their album 'Rock in a Hard Place,' which dropped earlier that year. It marked a turning point for the band, being their first album without the original guitarist, Joe Perry, who had left the band in 1979. Despite some internal struggles, the live recording captures their relentless energy and dynamic stage presence, featuring hits like 'Back In The Saddle' and 'Mama Kin.' Interestingly, by the early '80s, Aerosmith was in the process of reviving their career after a turbulent period, and this concert symbolizes their determination to reclaim rock supremacy. Fans were treated to a robust tracklist, showcasing both old favorites and newer material that spoke to their evolving musical journey.
