In October 2001, Aerosmith performed at the 'United We Stand' concert at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C., a benefit event following the September 11 attacks. Just before this pivotal performance, the band released 'Just Push Play' in March 2001, featuring hits like 'Jaded' and 'Fly Away from Here'. This period marked Aerosmith's resurgence in the early 2000s, blending classic rock with a modern edge. The live recording captures the band at an emotional juncture, where their music served not just as entertainment, but a source of hope and unity during a challenging time in America. It's fascinating to see how their ability to connect with audiences, even in tough moments, underscores their iconic status in rock history.
