Aaaah "Seasons of Wither" my all-time favorite Aerosmith tune!

[@patrickmusick9496]

Right on brother my favorite band

[@anthonydavella8350]

after Rocks not for me. Not sure why, voice started grating@@patrickmusick9496

[@Danny-sd5vm]

They've been one of the best rock bands since day 1 and will remain one of the best hundreds of years after they're gone.

[@brianmelendy9844]

possibly the best MTV unplugged concert ever.

[@meganlangreck2488]

Unplugged really brought out the best in some truly great musicians.

[@hellboundTX333]

AIC. But Aerosmith was a close second.

[@Gary-e5w9n]

Know Alice in chains

[@BptBob]

Eric Clapton was the first one to do it and by far the best performance.

[@armandavart5704]

This song is the perfection itself

[@sandrarogers6036]

indeed!

[@GSXRTeo]

A team of professionals...

Thank you - I was wondering when I was going to read an actual comment on this song

[@ThePeteFace]

Wow, got emotional while watching this, forgot how great Aerosmith is

[@MrSmokeydog]

Growing up back then as a teenager and hearing this type of music just shaped my mind and attitude. This particular song with its chord structure and vocal harmony had such a deep and dark melody to it. That made me feel that it was a part of my life at that time. When I hear this song now it isn't like other songs from the past. It is hard too describe I guess just haunting.

[@raechelyndawn2580]

I totally get it. Well said. ❤

[@maureent6800]

Yes I truly agree hauntingly and mystical

[@kyleejohnson4092]

Absolutely! I couldn't have described how this song makes me feel. It's set apart! By far my favourite piece of art Aerosmith has in their collection. I love your comment, it solved words I grappled with when I tried to explain how a song creates a nostalgic feeling. Only a few nights ago I was having trouble explaining my love for a song, and how it is so much more than the song itself, there is much more, a place a person, and most impactful is the person I was at the time, biologically our brain changes every few years, biologically and the things that fill the years between then and now. Those old feelings are never gone, and it is music that congers the person we still are, what a blessing it is. Music is so much more than lyrics and musical instruments. I will use just one of the many things music is, a good psychiatrist! The song the other night I was attempting to describe was Riannon “Rock on Ancient Queen…. When you feel as if all is lost in this termoutiolus world, remember what C.S.N sang, “She is all that I have left and Music is her name!!”

[@robertashton8069]

Right there with you, bro!

[@326cher]

One of my favorite Aerosmith songs. Joe and Steven complement each other----Joe's guitar & Steven's voice!!!

[@chuckfinley6156]

slow it down, let it breathe, feel the groove. that is how you play great songs. this is one of the great ones, from any band.

[@gregdiatelevi3677]

One of the greatest songs ever written

[@zach31301]

I'm reading Tylers book right now and he mentions this song in the first chapter so I had to hear it..what a facinating man he is..I've loved him since I was 14 or so and I'm 52 now..it's the longest love affair of my life. .at 68 he's still the sexiest man alive in my opinion and has gotten better with age..his Kennedy Center tribute to Paul McCartney will always be one of my all time favorite performances..

[@redhotchilipepper197]

he is one of my favourites met him once after a show in UK truly lovely genuine bloke :)

[@thelastrebelshow1627]

several times but the first time was when I was 14 years old. I'm 55. Believe it or not it was 1974 in Honalulu Hawaii at the HIC arena and they were THE WARM UP BAND! For The Guess Who. By the time The Guess Who came out some people were leaving because Aerosmith the the house down. They had just put out get your wings and a lot of people either didn't know who they were or just heard of them. I had just bought get your wings as a suggestion from a friend. Still own the album today. Also saw them at the Cow palace in San Fransisco CA. Twice and the Oakland coliseum Ca, home of the Raiders. And in Reno NV. One of the greats for sure!

This takes me back to the good old 70s, brought a tear to my eyes.

[@hicknan219]

I have always thought Stephen Tyler never got the recognition he deserved. Put aside the drug issues, he has one of the most distinctive voices of rock, an energetic (not to mention sexy) entertainer. Of course that's just my opinion.

[@KarmicOmen]

Steven Tyler has gotten 100x the recognition he deserves. The man is a legend with an amazing set of pipes, and believe me, this is something that has not gone unnoticed by tens of millions of people.

[@vikingmomo]

+Angel Deville Hi Angel... Not trying to be a troll but, I think that he has received the recognition he has earned/deserved. I am only disagreeing with your "he has gotten 100X". Everything else you wrote.. amazing pipes, millions of fans.... plus he wrote many of their tunes with Perry. He has deserved all of the cred due him, I don't think that he has gained cred that was not earned... Peace Angel.. :-)

[@KarmicOmen]

mike mostad​​​​ I was saying the same thing that you just said, however I just didn't elaborate to the extent that you did. To clarify, there was no negative connotation behind what I said. I have seen people state that Steven Tyler is underrated, and for those who know their music, he is anything but. That is where my "100x" comment stemmed from, in defense of his well earned and deserved legacy, meaning that Steven Tyler is 100x the legend. It was just a matter of context, a misunderstanding. I'm from Boston, so believe me, I'm fiercely hardcore and diehard hard loyal to Aerosmith.

[@toddlavigne6441]

100% true , he's actually extremely talented as a songwriter and hands down the best rock lead singer on the planet.

[@jbcbhbrb]

Agreed. His musical sensibilities are uncanny. The Making of Pump you can see his genius at work, directing the rehearsals and track recordings, tweaking on the fly. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6XWdIuZgKiDhLc

[@nickphillips1721]

This song is one of the greatest gifts of my life. Was a teenager when this came out, spent many hours listening to this, with black lights and a spanish galleon poster on my wall. Get your wings, Toys and Rocks are in the sound track of my life! This song is my life, today.

[@gabrieldzwonowski3363]

Don't forget their first album too

[@rogerdaly6326]

I'm guessing you grew up somewhere in the northeast u.s. ? I grew up in NJ and had the black light posters , the spanish galleon and the fishing net hanging from the ceiling.

[@326cher]

His vocal range kills me!!

[@jperryfan]

Part of what makes Steven so cool is that he was a drummer. His timing and phrasing are spot on. He drove Joey crazy in the early days.

[@kevinbrown688]

Chain Reaction

[@326cher]

It doesn't look like Joey on the drums here.

[@gitterbugg679]

@@326cher It is. Big hair Joey

[@rogerdaly6326]

He also plays piano & harmonica and wrote this song on a guitar that Joey found in a dumpster and gave to Steven. It was missing a string or two and was in a weird tuning that to this day Steven cannot remember. When he wrote the song he was in his basement looking out the window on a dull winter day and he was high on 2 types of pills which could explain not remembering the tuning. Luckily the song can be played in standard tuning which is the way i learned it.

[@melmasmad8699]

Ah, to me, Seasons of Wither, is a hypnotic drive into perfectly indulgent musical mystic beauty. One of my very first favorites when I was a young teen in that back end day. the song still haunts me in a great and beautiful way. Maryellen from San Fran.

[@dgrundman7499]

IMHO, your comment here literally almost borders on the poetic, Miss Mary Ellen of San Fran., do u know that? I'm not kidding. Reading it gave me this surprising, almost physical pleasure response*, like one gets when smelling a really cool flower.🌹🙊 *(no, not a boner, sheesh!),

[@Sandra-cp2ft]

I'll never forget my first Aerosmith concert. It was back in 1980, I was just 15yrs old and my dad "a narcotics Detective" played for a driver to take myself and 2 of my best friends to The Cape Cod Collisium. What a great show! You see, we lived in the South Shor, Massachusetts. Just 2 towns over where they resided. My sister and I would ride our bikes to Marshfield to Brad's house, just to try to get a glimpse of the guys hanging out. Lol LOVE Aerosmith!!!

[@beckyoliver9586]

So your dad's a drug man. How interesting.What flipped me out was that youre only 6 years younger than me. That's WHY I connect so good with you and your musical icons.....AND Clapton is the best . In my humble opinion, he was only 2nd to the great Jimi Hendrix.

[@kat1york]

Becky Oliver very much agreed girlfriend.

But for some reason I never saw this until today (I am always late to the party) The guitar work on this is just hauntingly beautiful. And Tyler is AMAZING. Beautiful.

This is a great song and so calming.

[@tamiwerner6297]

[@jjaybaumann6240]

Still a remarkable performance. I saw a rebroadcast of this on PBS and Tyler mentions his "nervousness" about this performance. He (and the band) had never done anything like this before. The fear was one of the conditions of Soundstage, that the performer(s) must remain seated throughout the show. He was hesitiant, but adapted for the hour show. Later, he commented that it was "fantastic"....God, I would of loved to have seen this performance!

[@kathylynnlyons682]

Aerosmith has the sound of realities, homesites, & gentiles of this greatest, grandest & decades of valued artistic musicians kindred spirits, Love Kathy👅🙏🕺💃💥

Why they never released this song as a single I will never understand. Way Way better than the sappy I don't want to miss a thing.

[@serendipity9987]

Hell yes I SO agree. This is one of their best imo. I didn't even listen to them when they went commercial. Still love their old music.

[@SupernovaA-dj8dh]

Pre 1980 is the only Aerosmith.This and One Way Street are their best.

[@awesome6486]

they are probably their best but cmon . they got better with age

[@jerryc8986]

They thought it was bad to release singles then.

[@johnmeggers5059]

Way different time frame, although I agree Sesons is a FAR BETTER song. I was happy to see Aerosmith make a comeback, but they're later stuff, with maybe one or two exceptions, has never held a candle to the early days.

Anything Steven Tyler sings is amazing and excites me to the core

[@superbug1977]

This dates back to 1974 from their second album, Get Your Wings. It didn't do very well, despite the clear genius of the writing and performing. Tyler was a top dog in rock n roll--the world had yet to realize it. We were rock fans in the 70s and in 1974 I was just 12. All of the older kids worshipped Deep Purple, and because of them, I guess we did too. But Aerosmith became our band, free of the Vietnam era malaise that was still clinging to everything. We wanted to be let go from all of it and didn't quite understand it. Aerosmith brought jazz and blues and funk into a crazy new format that was being called metal. you wouldn't exactly know it from this song. I've seen them many times and they were always great--as long as they could keep the original line up together. Also, it is funny to me that Steven Tyler was once the drummer. Crazy.

[@jmgmarcus808]

Definitely in my top 10 of my favs. Killer song, was shocked they played this originally.
