 (9 Customer Reviews)
This limited edition version comes in a denim package and includes an iron-on patch. When Aerosmith returned to its original label in the '90s, there were still contractual obligations to Geffen, where they pulled a Lazarus and resurrected ... Full Descriptiontheir moribund career in the mid-'80s. A LITTLE SOUTH OF SANITY completes the Geffen cycle and unlike most groups who toss together something in order to move on, Aerosmith took great care in compiling this 2-CD live collection that covers more than 25 years. Recorded during tours for GET A GRIP (1993-94) and NINE LIVES (1997-98), this release also marked a reunion with Jack Douglas, the band's producer during their '70s salad days, who helped the boys from Beantown compile the performances on this collection.
It becomes readily apparent here that Aerosmith still tore it up live regardless of how many power ballads they unleashed on radio since the late '80s. Of course, the Zippo-waving songs are here in abundance ("Crazy," "Angel") alongside ribald double-entendres ("Falling In Love [Is Hard On The Knees]") and vintage material ("Mama Kin"). If 1978's LIVE BOOTLEG gave us Aerosmith at their ripsnorting peak, then SANITY provides a reflection of a classic band that's aged gracefully without losing any of its spark.
Recorded live between 1993 and 1998.

Entertainment Weekly (11/27/98, pp.80-81) - "...Sounding tight, well rehearsed, and utterly professional, Tyler, Joe Perry, and the gang bound energetically from one hit to another....For all their creative ups and downs, these geezers can still summon up more nerve and verve than a box of matchbox 20s." - Rating: B
Q (12/98, p.114) - 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...Twenty years on the re-formed and reformed rockers have produced a second heavyweight double-live set, recorded between 1993 and 1998, yet reprising many of the best songs from Live Bootleg..."

This is a great Aerosmith live album. It's very polished and at times it doesn't remind you of a live album. But it is packed full of hits. I think the best part of this album is getting the hits from "Permanent Vacation" through "Nine Lives" live.

ANOTHER GREAT LIVE HELPING
This double live CD set is wonderful.
It has many of their hits from the late 80's through the late 90's. You even get some of their hits from the 70's. The only two selections I didn't care for was RAG DOLL from disc 1 and LAST CHILD from disc 2. Otherwise you have some good ol
rock and roll here.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Good CD but a little disappointed
I've been a huge Aerosmith fan since the 70's and own several of their early LP's. I really liked the song selection on this CD but had no idea at the time of purchase it was a "live" cd. It is still good Aerosmith music but know ahead of time these are not the studio recordings.

You Never Forget Your First...CD
I know, what a late starter I was. This came out in 1998 and was the first CD I ever bought, with birthday cash.
Along with CDs by Thin Lizzy, Queen, U2, Gary Moore & Neil Young, this was also one of the first live albums I ever owned. As such I thought it was great, until I got 'Live! Bootleg', which shows us the real Aerosmith.
This is good stuff indeed but far too slick and laid back for a band like this. I've seen them in concert & know just how LOUD and heavy they are, so they fail the honesty test here.
'Back in the saddle', 'Same old song and dance', 'Last Child', 'Walk on down', 'Dream On', 'Walk this way' and 'Sweet Emotion' come closest to the power and intensity of their 1978 live classic.

This is my favoutire concert, I know it for 3 years and it never gets boring... on this one, Aerosmith kicks a*&. This is one of the greatest bands in the world, their unique power, their tearing apart ballads, and their rock n roll, it all gives a lot of emotion while listening to this wonderdul music. Aerosmith is really great, and I think this concert is a compilation of their greatest songs ever. I will always love it and I really recommend it.
