I was skeptical when the “drums” came, but that was really good. Steven friggin nailed that vocal.

You don't get bands sounding this good live anymore. So organic.

This was flawless. The guitar, the beatbox, the harmonies, the lead vocals. Damn.

[@alexandrebouchard7602]

I simply cannot get over the fact that Steven is 49 years old in that clip

What a legendary moment, Howard looks more like an Aerosmith member than the actual members!!

[@bobbybogs6864]

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.

[@CPTMilitello51]

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

[@DisenchantedElleJay]

Just an incredible performance from every single member.

[@SaulMartinezFuertes]

¡¡Cierto!! Lo que también es verdad es que por aquel entonces varios de ellos llevarían siendo músicos unos... ¿30 años? Eso también ayuda a que salgan bien las canciones.. 😁😁😁🖐

[@BigDH28]

Good god, that was one of the best live radio performance EVER!!! This could have been on a album completely untampered with! Absolutely Incredible! 😱👍👍👍👏👏👏

[@diegolatorre4384]

I totally agree. Maaaan, the vocal arrangement... That was amazing

[@vadaminot429]

It's better than the album cut!

[@dzaijn]

Flawless mixing by the sound guy/girl.

[@FixItAgainToni]

It's on the european Maxi CD of Pink, this exact version without further editing. Engineered by Howard Stern.

[@CreesTee]

I just love how Steven is looking at the guy beatboxing with a smile on his face followed by a "yeah!"

[@AlejoEremita]

kudos to the sound guy making a live mix on the spot from those mics. He got it just perfect by the end.

Amazing performance. So effin tight. I don't believe there were too many other occasions where they performed this acoustic, so this must have been rehearsed specifically for this appearance. 8am in the morning, and they're ALL in the zone. I love how the backup dude smiles, snaps his fingers, and seems to revel in the double entendre along with Tyler. Great stuff.
