Aerosmith - Train Kept A-Rollin' (Pontiac 1976)

[@IPlayHardNA30]

Brad Whitford is an UNSUNG HERO

[@mrmrsearly3462]

Brad Whitford is not an unsung hero to me! He is an awesome guy and he is so talented! Met him and Joey Kramer one night when I used to tend bar and I had four great seats for the concert the next night and they said they wanted to leave me four better tickets with backstage passes at the ticket window and it was such a cool thing for them to do! It was when they got back together in the 80s. I had met Joe previously with The Joe Perry Project, and that was very cool. I've seen Aerosmith more than any other band, even the Stones, which are close behind, but Brad and Joey will always have a special place in my heart. And it was nice to just hang out with them after the show. I was so happy that they started touring again and they have put out some fantastic music since that, too. Brad also just had a birthday! Keep on Rockin' Brad! And Joey, Tom, Joe and Steven with that million dollar voice. They are always on my playlist!

[@MatthewSychantha]

He'd be a little less unsung if a camera would point at him while he was soloing.

Aerosmith did this song better than anybody.

[@phantomlord5707]

Iconic Steven Tyler striped outfit and moving everywhere on stage with that mic stand with the drug scarf 😆 Best frontman EVER. Joe Perry slayed on this performance and the rhythm section tight and flawless as always. That’s Aerosmith for you.

[@65coupestang]

I think the reason he moves all around the stage is because he just did a line or two of coke before singing this song but I'm NO EXPERT on Steve's pre show habits in ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM 😠SMFH..!!

Joe was def. much more precise in his playing than he was in the next few years. I wish this whole thing would be released on DVD with Texas Jam and all their other 70s appearances.

@GFNS58 They played it a lot before it got released in 1974. Try listening to the 1973 versions, you will hear that those cool solos existed way before Hunter and Wagner were brought in to record. Same thing goes for S.O.S. (Too Bad) and Lord of the thighs.

GODDAMN.....The best live version of the infamous "Train kept a rollin". I can't stop listening. And I can tell by his jumpsuits that was probably 75' when they had "Terrible" Ted Nugent as backup. I caught them summer of 75' at the old International Amphitheater. An old barn if there ever was one. So look easy to get in if ya got no tic. Ahhhhh memories 😎💯🔥

[@johne.skaggs3793]

yeah Joe Perry just plays mostly by feel. All the mean beautiful licks and riffs the guy has written, Whitford is a bad ass guitarist too but Perry and front man make 98% of Aerosmith. Not many guitarist with Joe Perry style

[@Rtr1966]

I disagree, I feel like Brat Whitford is vastly superior, Joe is like Keith Richards, he looks cool, and gets all the praise, but the true guitar god is the other guy. In this song, both Whitford and Perry shine, but I feel like Tom Hamilton, Joey Kramer, and Brad are the brains in Aerosmith, go listen to songs like lord of the thighs.

[@JulioLeonFandinho]

Liam Reuter have you got ears? Listen again to this performance by Perry and stop embarrassing yourself, because the taste and precision the guy is developing here is no less than amazing

[@Rtr1966]

Viejotrueno yeah, he can play it, but he couldn’t write a solo like that, he didn’t play on the studio recording, and every time I see Aerosmith, Joe Perry is very sloppy and loose, brad Whitford is always on point, he always wrote the best solos, and he came up with amazing songs like nobody’s fault. I’m not embarrassing myself, I’m aloud to have my opinion.

[@bbutler5090]

Don’t dismiss Brad as a songwriter or lead player. Last Child? Nobody’s Fault? Brad wrote those riffs and plays the solos.

[@Rtr1966]

beattie butler both amazing songs, Brad Whitford was a superb musician, everyone in Aerosmith was amazing, but Brad is definitely the secret weapon in Aerosmith

Who played guitar on Train-Kept-A-Rollin' studio recording? Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner said it was them. Alice Cooper was recording at the Record Plant next door to Aerosmith at the time. But some say Jimmy Page is the one who played on TKAR. Page came to say goodbye and took a shot at the solo. Who knows for sure?

[@thekingsservant1793]

Joe Perry is kind of a monster guitar player and I'm not sure if he's been rightly recognized....but...let's face it...get your wings is about the most definitive rock album of the 70's in it's way....you can't really capture that sound and feel anymore. It has its rightful place in Rock history. Still in its own place.

[@stickman1742]

He gets criticized for some things and probably unfairly. When they started, he had the knack for writing cool things on guitar but he wasn't a great guitar player. Whitford was much more polished. So people see early concerts where he struggles and know that other guitarists played the solos on the album for Train Kept A Rollin and they use it as proof he isn't that good. Then Perry becomes very good very quickly as evidenced here, but then the severe drug problems take over. Then you have later concerts where once again he isn't playing well. A lot of generally ignorant rock fans will take 1 or 2 examples as complete proof. They just don't really know what they're talking about.

[@stevee231]

This was a way better show than Texxas Jam 78'...Tyler could barely move during that show. Wish this whole concert would be released but as far as I know, what came out on Video Scrapbook is all there is. They were seriously cooking here. I think starting around '77 they went from the best live act on the planet to one of the more uneven ones. Saw them at the Baltimore Civic Center in '77 and it wasn't bad besides Joe Perry's equipment constantly going out...he eventually threw his Strat a mile high and threw some monitors off the stage. He actually mentions it in their autobiography. Also saw them on the Night in the Ruts tour with Crespo and also the RIAHP tour with Crespo/Dufay....both at the good old Cap Center. Both were great music wise but Steven Tyler was a mess for both. The Draw the Line tour gig in 77 was the best that I saw.

[@thomaskauser8978]

That bass is dope.

[@GTX1123]

One of the reasons Joe never played those solos very close to the "Get Your Wings" version was because it wasn't Joe or Brad playing those solos on the album in the first place. It was guitar session player phenoms Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner. Hunter plays the solos in the front of that recording and Wagner the solos on the back end. It was not a live recording from a concert either. Producer Jack Douglas took the final studio mix and blasted it through some speaker cabs in the stairwell of the Record Plant building to give it a live sound. The rowdy audience was a recording from George Harrison's Concert for Bangladesh that was dubbed in. It was a stroke of genius from Jack Douglas becase it's an iconic legendary cover of that song that Aerosmith fans have long associated with their concerts.

[@briandaniel5091]

Not a lot of fans don’t know that but I did. Those are Alice Cooper’s guys and they told the whole story in a guitar magazine along time ago. Wish I would have bought now.

[@GTX1123]

@@briandaniel5091When I discovered this it brought back a memory from around 1977. A friend of mine who was a year or two younger than me was into Alice Cooper. I had been a huge A.C. fan when I was ten years old but by the time I was 14 I had long since moved on. He went to see A.C. sometime around 1977 and went on and on and on about how good A.C.'s guitarists were. As a young aspiring guitar player myself, I laughed at him and said "WHAT???? You are CLUELESS about music" because I assumed he was talking about Glenn Buxton and Michael Bruce. LITTLE DID I KNOW LOL. Don't get me wrong, for the early 70's Glenn was very original and had good riffs but by comparison, neither he nor many other guitarists of that era were ever anywhere near as good as Hunter and Wagner. So my friend got to witness two of the best guitarists of the 1970's live.

[@djnicksedits5525]

they added in that stupid whistling? why would they fucking do that. stupid. if it were me i would've kept it silent and added no crowd noise.

[@stickman1742]

The reason Perry didn't play this early on live was because he couldn't. He wasn't that good when they first started, but he could write music. By '76 clearly he was more than good enough. An amazing leap forward by Perry, wouldn't you agree?
