Aerosmith: 'Draw The Line' Live Performance at Texxas Jam '78

Venue: The Music Hall Location: Boston, Massachusetts, United States Date: March 28, 1978

In March 1978, when Aerosmith performed "Draw The Line" at the Texxas Jam in Dallas, they were in the midst of their peak years, situated between the release of their fifth studio album, "Draw the Line," and their subsequent work. Released in December 1977, "Draw the Line" marked a turning point for the band, showcasing a blend of their hard rock style with an edgier sound. However, the album received mixed reviews, which would later impact their trajectory during the late 1970s. The performance at the Texxas Jam highlighted the band's explosive live presence, a crucial factor in their popularity, further solidifying their status in rock music. Interestingly, this period also saw tensions within the band, largely due to substance abuse issues, which would later play a significant role in their career dynamics and ultimately their evolution as one of rock’s most enduring acts.
