Well all right then.

Don't know yet. May just do it the same way we handled the 360 giveaway yesterday and dole a few out on Twitter then do the rest in the livestream chat. Twitter has a lot more bots and if we can hang out in the chat and have some fun then that might be the best solution.

Just chat with no show? Mmmk....but can someone please tell me when it happens? I'm scared to death I'll miss it entirely.

I'd just like to extend my sympathies/condolences to the Wii crowd, too. I'm on the PS3 so I feel your pain.

That version of Sweet Emotion is different than the one I am used to hearing.

That is 100% the album version (except for the Big Rock Ending). Not sure what version you're used to.

The live version of Dream On... I still love it. Up until Friday, it didn't seem like we'd every get any Aerosmith, EVER. So I'll take it. Steven Tyler ALWAYS changes his melodies live, and that's one of the brilliant thing about him. The nuances he adds live give each song their own new life. Sure, he sounded completely stoned during the first half of the track, but after the guitar solo, he couldn't be more on point for the remainder of the song. And stoned Steven Tyler is always awesome.




And when it comes to having to get live versions because the masters are unavailable, I'll take a live track from an old recording when a band was in their heyday than opposed to a 2012 version of the band covering a 30 year old song. Examples where live versions are done well: Thin Lizzy, Tom Petty. Examples where live versions are just a disappointment: Judas Priest.

Iron Maiden was one of the few packs where a recent recording did justice to old songs.

But in the end, I'm really glad to have Aerosmith.

And Rush. I've actually come to like the version of "The Spirit of Radio" we have better than the actual master version.

The version I'm used to is the Greatest Hits version, which is shorter. Oddly enough even though it isn't the Greatest Hits version it has the Greatest Hits album artwork.

Ah, ok. While I have Greatest Hits and Greatest Hits II on cd (remember those?) in a box the basement, I don't think I ever listened to them. Simply because everything up to (and probably including Permanent Vacation) is a solid album front-to-back, and totally worth a complete listen.

I'll have to see if I can't hang out in the LS Chat. Not sure where I'll be tomorrow.

Or I might just buy it. I'm not going to have time tonight to play anyway, so I can wait.

Hearing the full album version of Sweet Emotion is making me really want to buy Toys In The Attic, I've been missing out.
