Rating: We are in the year 2002, music is shifting towards more pop and commercial sounds, leaving rock aside, so old-school rock bands have found themselves in difficulty. Aerosmith tried to mix rock with pop and electronic in "Just Push Play," an album that didn't achieve much success, despite containing some significant tracks.
Now let's talk about our subject, the live performance of Aerosmith in Las Vegas at the Hardrock Hotel. In fact, this live show turns out to be perfectly in tune with the excessive ambiance of Las Vegas. It begins with Tyler welcoming the audience. The concert opens with an "oriental" riff that introduces "Beyond Beautiful", a song played perfectly with some very beautiful guitar solos. Tyler's singing is at its best, and what surprises me is that despite his age, he still sings as if he were in his prime and has even improved his voice. The performance moves on to "Same Old Song and Dance", a song from the second album, perfect here and in a very "hardened" version, making it very Hard Rock. Perry even finds space for some improvisational solos. The next song is "No More No More", a track from "Toys in the Attic", a song that some might have forgotten, but here it stands strong. In fact, it too has been toughened up and Steven enriches it with a nice high note. The next piece is a real gem called "Season of Wither", and they even found a way to harden this song, although it remains a ballad, and the leader performs it incredibly well.
"Light Inside", from "Just Push Play," is played well, but I don't like it. The chorus is depressing, and frankly, the Bostonians still need to explain to me why they included it; they could have easily put in a "Dream On" or something from the '80s. Well, a flaw had to be there, but we make up for it with "Draw the Line", certainly in its best version. Here too, it's much more Hard Rock than the original (and also longer, as it lasts 7 minutes). The notes of a piano introduce us to "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing", a song not completely digested by the fans, who consider it too commercial (myself included), but here it's different, it's more rocking and there's a guitar solo by Perry. The next song is "Big Ten Inch Record", a rockabilly revival, contained in "Toys in the Attic", very accelerated here.
Now it's time for a track that early Aerosmith used to play in clubs, called "Rattlesnake Shake", a cover of Fleetwood Mac, which lasts a long time due to the improvisation by Perry and Whitford having fun with the guitars. The drums introduce the classic "Walk This Way", played well as usual, and it concludes with the cover "Train Kept a Rollin", perfect as always.
In conclusion, this live performance seems to be a response to those who say that Aerosmith is finished and has nothing more to say. In my opinion, they will still manage to make themselves heard. The only drawback of this live is perhaps that there are too few songs, but let's be content.
PS: this is my first review.

05 Seasons of Wither (05:05)
Blues hearted lady sleepy was she
Love for the devil brought her to me
Seas of a thousand drawn to her sin
Seasons of Wither holdin me in
Ooh woe is me I feel so badly for you
Ooh woe is me I feel so sadly for you
In time bound to lose your mind
Live on borrowed time
Take the wind right out of your sail
Fireflies dance in the heat of
Hound dogs that bay at the moon
My ship leaves in the midnight
Can't say I'll be back too soon
They awaken far far away
Heat of my candle shows me the way
Seas of a thousand drawn to her sin
Seasons of Wither holdin me in
Ooh woe is me I feel so badly for you
Ooh woe is me I feel so sadly for you
In time bound to lose your mind
Live on borrowed time
Take the wind right out of your sail

07 Draw the Line (07:22)
Checkmate honey, beat you at your own damn game
No dice honey, I'm livin' on the astral plane
Feet's on the ground, and your head's goin' down the drain
Oh, heads I win, tails you lose, to the never mind
Where to draw the line
An Indian summer, Carrie was all over the floor
She was a wet net winner, and rarely ever left the store
She'd sing and dance all night, and wrong all the right out of me
Oh, pass me the vile and cross your fingers, it don't take time
Nowhere to draw the line
Hi ho silver, we were singin' all your cowboy songs
Oh, you told Carrie, and promised her you wouldn't be long
Heads I win, tails you lose, lord it's such a crime
No dice honey, you the salt, you're the queen of the brine
Checkmate honey, you're the only one who's got to choose
Where to draw the line
Checkmate
Don't be late
Take another pull
That's right
Impossible
When you got to be yourself
You're the boss
The toss
The dice
The price
Grab yourself a slice
Nowhere to draw the line
08 I Don't Want to Miss a Thing (04:33)
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing,
Watch you smile while you are sleeping,
While you're far away and dreaming,
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender,
I could stay lost in this moment forever,
When every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure,
(Chorus)
Don't wanna close my eyes,
I don't wanna fall asleep,
Cause I'd miss you baby,
And I don't wanna miss a thing,
Cause even when I dream of you,
The sweetest dream would never do,
I'd still miss you babe,
And I don't wanna miss a thing.
Lying close to you,
feeling your heart beating,
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming,
Wondering if it's me you're seeing,
And then I kiss your eyes,
And thank God we're together,
I just wanna stay with you in this moment forever,
Forever and ever.
(Chorus)
And I don't wanna miss one smile,
I don't wanna miss one kiss,
I just wanna be with you,
Right here with you, just like this,
I just wanna hold you close,
And feel your heart so close to mine,
And just stay here in this moment,
For all the rest of time (Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah YEAH!!)
(Chorus to end)
En español :
No quiero Perderme de Nada
Por AeroSmith
Podría quedarme despierto solo para oírte respirar
Verte sonreír mientras duermes
Cuando estas muy lejos soñando
Puedo gastar mi vida en esta dulce rendición
Puedo quedarme perdido en este momento por siempre
Cada momento que paso contigo es un tesoro para mi
No quiero cerrar mis ojos
No quiero quedarme dormido
Porque me perdería de tí, nena
Y no quiero perderme de nada
Porque hasta cuando sueño contigo
El más dulce sueño jamás lo lograría
Todavía te extrañaría
Y no quiero perderme de nada
Acostado al lado tuyo sintiendo tu corazón latir
Y me pregunto qué estás soñando
Me pregunto si soy yo a quien estás viendo
Luego beso tus ojos
Y le agradezco a Dios que estemos juntos
Y solo quiero quedarme contigo en este momento
Por siempre y siempre
No quiero cerrar mis ojos
No quiero quedarme dormido
Porque me perdería de tí, nena
Y no quiero perderme de nada
Porque hasta cuando sueño contigo
El más dulce sueño jamás lo lograría
Todavía te extrañaría
Y no quiero perderme de nada
No quiero perderme de una sonrisa
No quiero perderme de un beso
Sopo quiero estar contigo
Aquí mismo, contigo, tan solo así
Yo solo quiero tenerte cerca
Sentir tu corazón muy cerca al mío
Y solo quedarme aquí, en este momento
Por todo el resto del tiempo
No quiero cerrar mis ojos
No quiero quedarme dormido
Porque me perdería de tí, nena
Y no quiero perderme de nada
Porque hasta cuando sueño contigo
El más dulce sueño jamás lo lograría
Todavía te extrañaría
Y no quiero perderme de nada
No quiero cerrar mis ojos
No quiero quedarme dormido
Porque me perdería de tí, nena
Y no quiero perderme de nada
Porque hasta cuando sueño contigo
El más dulce sueño jamás lo lograría
Todavía te extrañaría
Y no quiero perderme de nada
No quiero cerrar mis ojos
No quiero quedarme dormido, si
Y no quiero perderme de nada
09 Big Ten Inch Record (04:17)
Got me the strangest woman
Believe me this trick's no cinch
But I really get her going
When I whip out my big ten inch
Record of a band that plays the blues
Well a band that plays its blues
She just love my big ten inch
Record of her favorite blues
Last night I tried to tease her
I gave my love a little pinch
She said now stop that jivin'
Now whip out your big ten inch
Record of a band that plays the blues
Well a band that plays the blues
She just loves my big ten inch
Record of her favorite blues
I, I, I cover her with kisses
And when we're in a lover's clinch
She gets all excited
When she begs for my big ten inch
Record of a band that plays the blues
Well a band that plays the blues
She just love my big ten inch
Record of her favorite blues
My girl don't go for smokin'
And liquor just make her flinch
Seem she'll go for nothin'
'Cept for my big ten inch
Record of a band that plays the blues
Band that play the blues
She just love my big ten inch
Record of her favorite blues
11 Walk This Way (04:12)
Well there's a backseat lover who's always undercover
and I talked to my Dad he say
He said "You ain't seen nothin' till you're down on a muffin
Then you're sure to be a changin' your ways"
I met a cheerleader
Was a real young bleeder
All the times I could reminisce
'Cause the best things in lovin' with her sister and her cousin
Only started with a little kiss like this!
Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
I sing "Hey diddle diddle"
Put your kitty in the middle of the swing
Like you didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin'
'Cause she knew what she was doin'
And I knowed love was here to stay
When she told me to...
CHORUS
walk this way, talk this way, walk this way
talk this way,
Uh, just gimme a kiss!
Like this.
School girl sweetie with a classy kinda sassy
Little skirt's climbin' way up her knee,
There was three young ladies in the school gym locker
When I noticed they was lookin' at me.
I was a high school loser, never made it with the ladies
Till the boys told me somethin' I missed,
Then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor
So I gave her just a little kiss a like this
Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air,
I sing "Hey diddle diddle"
Put your kitty in the middle of the swing
Like you didn't care.
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play,
Wasn't me she was foolin'
'Cause she knew what she was doin'
When she told me how to walk this way.
She told me to
CHORUS
