Aerosmith “Pink” (Acoustic) on the Howard Stern Show in 1997

I have followed Aerosmith since 1973, when the Dream On didn't even hit the airwaves till three years later in 1975. It became a huge hit. I bought their first album. Nobody heard of them until a friend introduced them to me. Momma Kin, Make It, Back In The Saddle, were all favorites of mine. Their other albums like Toys In The Attic were classics as well. I am glad that they were able to survive this long. This was truly a demonstration of Steven Tyler's vocal talent.

[@jonsambora8]

Joe is a crazy rockstar when he’s got a les paul, but when he’s got an acoustic guitar, he is just an amazing professional guitarist.

[@CPTMilitello51]

This might be the best version of this song that I have ever heard. I love the acoustic and beatboxing sound.

Tyler says "the number one song on rock radio" but it was mainstream rock radio, not alternative rock radio which is what we were all listening to back then. It only reached number 38 on the Billboard Hot 100. If I'd heard it back then, I would've been dismissive of it because it was Aerosmith, but I would've been wrong to. It's a great, fun tune and this version is really out of this world. Pardon the expression but they're tight as can be here. And that backup singer is super hot.
