Zint Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Saw them at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto '77..amazing!Saw them again at a festival in Toronto '79..messed up but still cool as fuck! I had no major beefs with it,but then again,I'd been there since noon,so,judgement may have been impaired. I have audio bootlegs of both shows.Ted Nugent was on the bill as well at the '79 festival,almost stole the show.Nazareth,Johhny Winter and a few others also on the bill.The guy that hands down walked away owning that gig was Johnny..even the cops diverted their attention to the stage and watched him,blistering set!But yeah,Aerosmith.. didn't see them again until '94...didn't have that Toxic Twin era vibe. Toronto '79...with Joe or Jimmy?Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zint Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Before he got political Uncle Ted was amazing in the 70's...Yeah for sure...I was really in to it up to and including Double Live Gonzo.After that,not so much.The Tarzan rope,loin cloth phase was a bit facepalm..lol.But that '79 show was killer,Ted was a monster live...an all out assault on the ear drums...physical pain.Didn't see Ted again until the "guitar army" tour...yeah like Ted needed three other guitarists. I know a guy whose band did some shows opening for the Amboy Dukes.He said Ted was insane.Told a story about Ted running in to the middle of a busy four lane highway and taking a dump right in the middle. and Johnny Winter is one of the most underrated guitarists in rock history IMHO.....Abso-fucking-lutely.Johnny is fucking brilliant.Honest to god...at this show,he had everyone's attention...everyone.The drunks,the stoners,the cops,the ambulance attendants,the guys with drink trays...everyone.He was that good.Just astounding.Every rock fan needs a copy of Johnny Winter And live...what a kick ass bandIndeed!I am a hardcore Aerosmith fan but it was disappointing to see them go down hill from 75 to 79.....Agreed.I don't know,but the '77 Toronto show was pretty fucking amazing.I find it hard to flaw that one.Maybe it was an "on" night or something but holy fucking shit...it smoked!
