Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aerosmith is a band that made its name by relentless, grind-it-out, city-by-city touring. Since its inception in 1970 and for the following decade, nary a year went by without the band being on the road. Yet, for a band that built its reputation by incessant touring, the fans have been left with just a few bones of that live experience so critical in establishing Aerosmith. There is comparatively little officially etched into history via vinyl or compact disc from the band on stage in those formative years and halcyon days. But all was not lost. Several radio broadcasts along with dozens upon dozens of audience recordings weave a more complete narrative of the band's touring history. The recordings fit together like a jigsaw puzzle, and piece by piece create a picture of a tour history, bringing context. More than 200 concerts and setlists are examined here, illustrating how the band's non-stop touring and hard-edged brand of rock and roll propelled Aerosmith to the top of the world's music scene. Vintage ads, clippings and news articles are also presented, giving a flavor of Aerosmith's life on the road.
