I guess you must be pretty young or something.  This stale, played-by-every-classic-rock-station-three-times-a-day song couldn't melt the face off of an ice cream cake in a Florida greenhouse.

Saw these guys in Tampa a few years back. They still rock as good as ever.
I had tears in my eyes when they did this. 10 for sure

That was a great album, agree on this tune though. Oh and Aerosmith has sucked out loud since the 80s.

I've been meaning to buy an mp3 of this song, so hearing it here was a good reminder to link through to Amazon and pick it up.  Interestingly, "Dream On" is $1.29 while all the other songs on this album are 99 cents.  Guess I'm not the only one who still likes it {#Lol}

Stunningly surprising segue from Kate Bush. Who would have thought?

Okay - someone somewhere has to have a YouTube clip where Aerosmith performed this song with an orchestra, and it was absolutely amazing. (I read an article in which Tyler said, "We were scared shitless - an ORCHESTRA?")  The gist of the interview was about cues and working with a huge group of people that were like a school of fish - they acted on the direction of one person, and if that person missed a cue, the band would have to scramble to cover the lapse. Fortunately, everyone was focused, and there were no mistakes, and a few incredible, shiver-causing moments during that collaboration.  I'd love to see it/hear it - it was definitely "shiver-making."
 
Is this the clip you meant?

Were they working with London Symphony Orchestra? For a while there, LSO would play with anyone with money. This song would do well with an orchestral arrangement. Symphonic Led Zep often works pretty well—"Kashmir" especially. 

I'm sure that it was nerve-wracking for Tyler and the band, but a professional orchestra is often an amazingly skilled and adaptive machine. They orchestra in question likely had to deal with a lot of similar situations before Steve stumbled in.

As others have said—yeah, this got played to death in the Boston area. Maybe I was listening to a bad recording on crappy speakers, but the last time I listened to this album it sounded leaden and plodding. I'm still partial to the band because when they were first starting out they played a concert in my high school's fieldhouse/gym (the only concert ever performed there...). Before my time though.

The first 7,000 times I heard it in the 70s was enough to drive me crazy.

You couldn't swing a dead cat in Boston without it hitting a radio playing this song.

Then came the great sell-out where it was featured in every BS car/cologne/condom commercial where it was drilled into you again.

At some point there was a horrible Super Bowl half-time show that also had this in it.

I loathe Aerosmith.

Aerosmith has had some clunkers, but this isn't one of them.  I love the whole album.  They're one of the last artists I would have expected to show up at RP, but I'm glad they made it! {#Clap}

Forgot about the gong at the end. Nice touch. I like the keyboard sound in this too. Nothing wrong with hearing this on a station like RP, where there's a great mix of styles... not so cool to hear it on a typical classic rock station that overplays this with all the other usual suspects.

That's it! That's it! Commercial radio has killed so many good songs over the years. I'm fine with RP dusting off some of the huge classics every now and then.

Hmmm, my album cover is different.   


from Wiki:

The photo at the top is the original cover, which misprinted the song "Walkin' The Dog" as "Walkin' The Dig". When a second pressing of the album was released in 1976, this error was corrected, and the cover replaced with a modified one made up entirely of the photo of the band members. This second pressing is the more commonly available version of the LP. When reissued on CD in 1993 as a remastered version, the original first pressing artwork was used.
