Aerosmith

In February 1983, Aerosmith was riding a wave of renewal, fueled by their comeback album "Rock in a Hard Place" just released that same year. This live performance at the Onondaga War Memorial Auditorium showcases the band's gritty energy and resilience following a turbulent time in their career. The concert, part of their efforts to reconnect with fans after a brief hiatus, reflects a pivotal moment for Aerosmith, blending classic rock vibes with their newfound dynamism. Interestingly, this was the first album featuring guitarist Jimmy Crespo, who stepped in after Joe Perry and Brad Whitford briefly left the band. The synergy of the live setting and their evolving sound truly encapsulates the essence of Aerosmith in the early '80s, making this recording a memorable snapshot of their journey.
