These recordings were taken from uncredited live shows recorded between 1977 and 1983. Unlike LIVE: BOOTLEG, the tracks included here are sonically cleaned-up and re-mastered. Post-production tinkering aside, the pure power of Aerosmith live comes through loud and clear on back-alley anthems like "Mama Kin" and "Lord of the Thighs." The band pays tribute to its influences with a version of the Yardbirds' "Train Kept a Rollin'" and the saucy blues novelty song "Reefer Head Woman." An added bonus is the inclusion of the previously unreleased "Major Barbra," a twangy psychedelic out-take originally slated for release on 1974's GET YOUR WINGS.
