That's whe they were on heroin

@@MrPiratebrain EVERYONE was lol.. am I right?

[@JulioLeonFandinho]

​@@MrPiratebrain Tyler and Perry started to take heroin in 1976, this was from 1974

[@DarrenWaters75]

The version from Get Your Wings was one of the first songs I learned on the guitar. Always gonna be a favorite by Aerosmith.

[@dannycasson1551]

me too! brings back a lot of memories..

[@paulmallon9033]

Their best stuff was from the 70s

[@Stygian60]

Saw them Live in 1979 at the Montreal Forum. What an amazing concert! Aerosmith was waaaayyyyy better b4 the 80's.

[@lathedauphinot6820]

Peter Buck from R.E.M. said it best: “If you grew up in the ‘70s, you liked Aerosmith.” They rocked. They always played this live.

[@paulaamero]

Gotta love old Aerosmith. Thanks for this historic performance!

[@purplebeard1526]

One of favorite old songs of theirs. Not a bad live cut from that era honestly.

[@igmugleska966]

Yas!!! 70s Aerosmith is awesome. They used to do a lot of blues early on. Thanks!

[@hanklutcavich8687]

Joe Perry is extremely underrated guitarist as well as the band. Plz more Aerosmith. It was a trip that Little Richard introduced them on this. Awesome reaction brother.

[@ergoat]

Great reaction! Most people don't know much of 70s Aerosmith beyond their greatest hits like "Sweet Emotion", "Walk This Way", and "Dream On", etc, but their incredibly prolific, old B-sides have a lot amazing Gems: stuff like this, Lord of the Thighs, One Way Street, Nobody's Fault are fire, and definitely worth reacting to! (Live performances from the era obviously are going to have some minor sound quality issues, but in return you get to see the rock and roll pantheon-level stage presence of the band, especially the Toxic Twins, Joe Perry and Steven Tyler.)

[@donnacsrpenter7226]

Aerosmith on The Midnight Special!!! Damn!!! Thank u Mr.J. u made my day!! Hope u enjoyed that as much as I have for the last 45 years!! Rock on Bruthr!!!

[@michelelaraia7358]

Little Richard 42 back then

[@estuder32anthonywayne98]

It doesn't get better then 70s rock!

[@ffjsb]

That's pretty narrow minded...

[@toddyoung7112]

Aerosmith and this exact song got me my job as a light tech for a rock band in the early 80’s.

[@trevorjames6185]

One of my favorite covers ever.

[@snakester9879]

A lot of people think that this was an original song by Aerosmith, when in fact it is just a cover. But just like their other cover songs they made it their own. "Train Kept A-Rollin'" (or "The Train Kept A-Rollin'") is a song first recorded by American jazz and rhythm and blues musician Tiny Bradshaw in 1951.

[@gerardroll6468]

Ya gotta love these rock nostalgia trips 👍😁

[@jamal_wallace3]

One of my favorites Aerosmith’s songs. 🔥 From one Jamal to another, “keep the reactions rollin’… all year long” 🎸

[@wendydotson8891]

Omg!! He’s soooo young in this video. This is actually a cover of a cover though. It’s an old blues song that the yardbirds covered, then Aerosmith covered their cover. Aerosmith has a lot of old blues cover mixed in with their own great stuff. And even though the sound is old it still sounds so much better than so many of todays bands playing live! And I agree that he has one the most amazing voices in rock!

[@constancejmorgan2701]

My favorite band in the whole wide world......Aerosmith rocks all the way in every way!!!!! Rock On!!! Bad Boys Of Boston, Massachusetts!!! Right On!!

[@terryconnelly484]

Don't worry about the sound quality this is what we were used to growing up during that time it sounds awesome the Distortion is an added bonus

[@lilpoohbear653]

Yep!!! EXACTLY....THIS is ONE OF MY FAVE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL PERFORMANCES EVER!!

[@vicprovost2561]

Yeah! Try more from Get Your Wings like Seasons of Wither or Lord of the Thighs. Aerosmith is always worth a listen. Enjoy! 🎸

[@Roh_Echt]

Aerosmith headlined the first concert I went to...Cal Jam 2, in 1978. Last time I saw them was 1997 on their Nine Lives Tour.

[@doobiedave9686]

Sorry about the sound quality, there are other videos of them performing this song that have better, but I thought you might get a kick out of the Little Richard intro. When Steven went to his high voice the second time he sounded like Fire Marshall Bill. 😂😂🙏✌️

[@jamelakajamal]

It’s all good

[@keithboyd9582]

Another one you should check out that is just like this one called "Chip Away At The Stone". The band always did at least one blues style song on every album that they did,

[@ergoat]

Oooh, good request.

[@lathedauphinot6820]

Yes! And “Mama Kin”…

[@TheDivayenta]

This was a Yardbirds classic ( probably from some blues master) - you can even see them with guitarists Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page playing this in the movie Blow-Up. The segment is on YT!

[@NyMyers64]

Grew up with 70s Aerosmith so that is my era of the band. I don't worry about sound and video quality of these classics - back in the day I was trying to tune in The Midnight Special by rotating an antenna hanging from my ceiling to watch on my 12" black and white TV 😄. Nice one Jamel, have a great day!

[@johnglue1744]

Lol right? Back then this quality of video would’ve been nice on the tube.

[@TOM-C.]

You had one up on me! My mom bought this little 8" inch portable B & W tv, tiny thing, but I did have a straight line of sight to Los Angeles so the picture was clear as a bell. I guess I'd take the 8" inch over having to fiddle with the antenna. 😎😁👍✌

[@jeribrown9967]

I hear that

[@jameslopez1970]

The studio version REALLY shows the talent from these 5 musicians. “Spaced” from the same album is a great song also.

[@jeanstrickland2445]

I was 12 when I heard this song , love Aerosmith 😊

[@Serai3]

Woo-hoo! This is an old Yardbirds song, but Aerosmith kicked it up about 50 notches!!!

[@reneewerenski3416]

We are kicking it old school THANKS JAMAL ,for this you Look like you are having a blast, just like us watching you. Aerosmith was my 1st concert way back in the 70's and been a fan ever since. Thanks for this.

[@greggreg7612]

This was still part of their set list in 2019 for the Vegas residency.

[@rlynnpierce2166]

Ah yes the real 70s. Love it !

[@tonydelapa1911]

I had already seen Aerosmith in concert (my first concert as a 14 year old kid) before this TV performance. You are right, Jamal, they were at their peak - I would idenify that as from the Get Your Wings album (1974) through Rocks (1976), with a reprise in 1987’s Permanent Vacation. That just my opinion, I will be 63 years old soon and sold music and promoted concerts from 1988 to 2002. Younger people will surely have a different perspective. Thank you Jamal!

[@wendydotson8891]

I saw them for the first time when I was 15 😂. Then 2 more times but I’ve loved them my whole life!

[@richardburdick9430]

This is a snapshot in time. Nothing (that I am aware of) in that time period was broadcast in stereo. That being said, the quality is not too bad, being formatted to fit a standard TV screen, the Mono sound is not terrible either.

[@effychase62]

Got to see Aerosmith in concert twice, great stuff, good show. Fav song is "Draw The Line".

[@DanielSmith-pq4yc]

Wasn't born during their first stint at the top but have been a fan of these since the mid 90s and thanks to the internet I got to see stuff like this and I love it

[@gerardroll6468]

Jamel… You could show this on a big screen, a small screen or the side of a matchbox… it really wouldn’t matter. What DOES matter is that we can HEAR it ✌️😜✌️

[@nanvolentine9110]

Those were truly the days!

[@bpc701]

Last child by Aerosmith! I love when you react to music!!

[@sheiladrucker6872]

Omg. This. Song is killer.

[@sheiladrucker6872]

I agree, Last Child is sick.

[@jukeboxman1]

This is the years I seen them! My very first rock concert! I was TEN years old! The Lansing Ice Arena, Lansing MI! I eventually went to 37 concerts in the 70s!

[@juniorjohnson9509]

Aerosmith was our Senior Prom band!

[@MusicLover-rt4bs]

Great one from Aerosmith. This is a cover of a 1951 tune by Tiny Bradshaw. The Yardbirds also covered it in 1965. The Yardbird's version is also worth a listen.

[@melissawilcox5285]

One of my favorites by them!

[@TOM-C.]

I love when you bring back my childhood. I was 14 when this came out, had hair down my back, and was partying just about every night with some drug or another. This also brought back one of my other favs of the day which I think you have done already, Ted Nugent's Stranglehold, both just jammin songs! 😎😁👍✌

[@mattcolson2297]

According to the legend this was the first song Robert Plant and Jimmy Paige jammed to when they first met. The track is also considered to be one of first “punk rock” songs… from the 40’s

[@honor5761]

I had the first five albums by Aerosmith. 😊💖 Joe Perry was the sexiest thing in the world ‼️🎸 (He's the face you can't see, & once we SAW the face, we all SWOONED‼️)😃🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@jennymagidson1925]

Our boys from Boston!

[@axltyler]

There's a video of Aerosmith with Guns N Roses on stage doing Train Kept a Rollin' and Mama Kin

[@TheMarcodiator]

This is one of the songs that got me into drumming when I wasy way younger.

[@jypziiatthecrossroads9047]

BB King did probably the most famous Cover of this, but the boys from Boston did it proud.

When I first heard this song years ago I thought he was singing Tan Caparonin All Night Long, heeeheeheeheehee.

[@kimsherrell2866]

One of my favorites

[@angelamillard6418]

They were so young!🔥

[@rickwilliamson9248]

Loved seeing Little Richard in all his glory.

[@djimaging2]

The song was a huge hit, and became known for its epic guitar solo! But neither Joe Perry, nor Brad Whitford, played the solo on this song. Legendary session guitarists Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner were the actual culprits behind this amazing solo.

[@nunyabusiness5075]

I thank producer Jack Douglas for bringing in some serious talent for this song, (even if it was just from next door). Joe and Brad eventually improved, but early 70's they even had problems just copying what Hunter and Wagner had laid down in the studio. That studio version might have been Jack Douglas throwing a serious wake up call to Joe and Brad that they need to up their game, but more likely Jack knew that Hunter and Wagner could deliver in less than a day what Joe and Brad couldn't at that time.

[@janell8115]

Love Steven screamin! 70s rock kicks.

[@michellemartin1937]

Love this song 😎🤘🏽🚂🔥

[@HappyOne3]

The studio version of Train Kept a Rollin on the "Get Your Wings" album is off the charts insanely great! Also, this song is a remake from 1965 or 1966 with the The Yardbirds. First band Jimmy Page was in. The video is on YT as well. The Yardbirds original of this song was inserted as a scene in a 60's British movie called "Blow-Up." That scene is hilarious, but very British underground club for the 60's. Also on YT (the scene)

[@snakester9879]

The Yardbirds version is also a cover. Original was done in 1951.

[@lathedauphinot6820]

@@snakester9879 Yep. I found a version by Tiny Bradshaw in my parents’ record collection.

[@gotham61]

The Yardbirds was far from Jimmy Page's first band. He had been an in demand session musician in London for several years before the Yardbirds. Here's a clip of him on TV at age 13. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6ixfZR4nbWFj5o

[@HappyOne3]

@@gotham61 yes thanks. I am aware of his being on the tv at 13. I am referring as first real rock group along with Jeff beck and prior clapton. As an adult. But yes as a sessions player he was sought out.

[@stanphillips7277]

That's what I'm talking about! My Brother Jamal keeping great music alive! I subscribed yrs ago when you were jamming music reactions exclusively! I still watch the Mr. Ballen, I watch you with the family (which is cool but, it hasn't been _music_ reactions!) . Bro, I was watching KZbin (Patty Smyth and "Scandal" doing "The Warrior" which is a fun little rock pop 80s song and you just can't have a sexier, smokier, more beautiful raspy voice then Patty Smyth Brother Jamal! I'd like a reaction to that but, in any case KZbin auto played 1 of your reaction videos from just a year ago.... some "Skid Row" with "I Remember You" and listening to you talk about the passion in the singing and the lyrics, while siitin' there sporting a "Keep Great Music Alive" Tshirt I thought "Dang, I remember the reason I subscribed now! It was this sort of thing! Like chilin' with a friend and talking about the song and the message....how it reminds us of our own lives and relationships and common humanity" and I thought Jamal is changing and I'm not sure I like it 🤔 I love you brother Jamal but, man it's nice to see you react to a great band and a great song (Train Kept a Rollin') is said to be the VERY FIRST SONG LED ZEPPELIN EVER PLAYED TOGETHER!) and reacting during, gettin' excited and rewinding to hear Stephen do his thing... I'm like "There he goes, back reacting to music! My Man!" That's what got this particular train rollin' in the first place! You know you wouldn't have nearly a million subscribers if you started our reacting to all the other stuff Brother (or maybe 🤔 you are kinda charismatic and super positive, a good human....but nah 🤣 it's the music that won me over man! We all love you at this point so we watch right along with you no matter what it is but I was sad after watching the Skid Row video. I'm glad you haven't completely abandoned the music brother, that's all I'm sayin'! I love you brother and I'm gonna' roll witcha' regardless but, why not react to at least 1 song for every 2 of the other stuff (at least 1) Please check out the Scandal song "The Warrior" just for kicks. Take a suggestion from Stan in Miami my brother.... make me happy! Or react to Led Zeppelin "Since I've been Lovin' You" from Madison Square Garden. From the movie "The Song Remains The Same" ...tell em' Stan sent you and it won't get blocked. I saw this Opera singer who reacts to Rock songs do it (The Charismatic Voice is her channel) but, she may be cuter than you my brother but, she ain't you! I'm just sayin' if _she_ didn't get blocked you won't either! If you react to her reacting that'd be insane (but that's not a bad idea if you want to do a 40 minute video because hers are like a half hour long 😂) I love you brother and like I said I'm gonna' watch whatever you put out here , just a few thoughts on the evolution of this channel man, nothin' more! ✌️❤️🎸🎶🤣🙏

Chip Away at the Stone is my favorite Aerosmith song

[@JeremyEllwood]

I actually got to talk to Steven Tyler privately on the phone on a whim. Long Story Short: My ME when I was doing Lighting Design was Aerosmith's LD for 30 years prior. He was talking on the phone and literally was on the phone with Tyler when he just tossed the phone at me and said, "You talk to him." He was trying to get my ME to go back on the road. My ME didn't want to so I (jokingly) told Steven that I'll demand he do so but I get to come to. Steven was like, "Let's do this." Then I had to back-pedal 😥 LOL

Perfect channel, Thank You!

[@wheresatari668]

Pink Floyd is kinda one of those bands in a slightly different kinda way. 99% of their stuff is fire, but the stuff/versions you don't hear on the radio are just as good if not better sometimes. When it comes to Aerosmith, I'm not a huge fan because I don't care for half the things they play on the radio. I can do without Walk This Way, Dude Looks Like a Lady, Back in the Saddle Again, and so on and so forth. They are also most famous for their ballads in a way. I'm not complaining since I do love Don't Wanna Miss a Thing, Crazy, Cryin', etc. All that being said, this is fire and if I woulda heard this first I woulda become a much bigger advocate for them.

Hey, The Who never blocked you, I don't think. I highly recommend "Join Together," lots of fun, great vocals, dancing, intimate audience, musical instruments galore. Also, "Sqeezebox" and "Magic Bus." "Bargain," "Another Tricky Day," did you do "My Generation?" Sure you did "Behind Blue Eyes," looked it up but there were so many! "I Can't Explain," "I Can See for Miles," "The Real Me "Substitute," "You Better You Bet," "Pinball Wizard," "Long Live Rock" and "I'm Free." Also, Pete Townshend had a solo career. "Rough Boys" and "Let My Love Open the Door."
