Aerosmith

In 1986, Aerosmith was riding high on the success of their album 'Done with Mirrors,' which had been released just a year prior. This time marked a significant comeback for the band after a rough patch. The Rochester concert from May 4 features a raw energy as they performed hits like 'Rats in the Cellar' and 'Same Old Song and Dance,' showcasing their hard rock roots and vibrant stage presence. Interestingly, this live performance captures the essence of the band's journey—standing at a crossroads between their classic sound and a new wave of popularity. Just a few months after this concert, they would drop 'Permanent Vacation,’ which would further solidify their place in rock history. This live recording not only celebrates their revival but also hints at the momentum that propelled them into the late '80s rock scene.
