Valora este álbum

Live! Bootleg es un álbum de Aerosmith, publicado en 1978. El disco incluye 17 canciones, entre ellas «Back in the Saddle», «Sweet Emotion», «Lord of the Thighs» y «Toys in the Attic».

Lanzado en 1978, Live! Bootleg es el primer álbum en directo de Aerosmith. Fiel a su título, el disco está diseñado para sonar como un "bootleg" (grabación pirata), con un sonido crudo, sucio y sin los retoques de estudio que eran habituales en los álbumes en directo de la época. Es una instantánea honesta y sin filtros de una de las bandas más potentes del mundo en su momento más caótico y autodestructivo. El álbum captura la energía visceral y la arrogancia de sus conciertos, con la banda a menudo sonando al borde del colapso, pero siempre electrizante. Fue un éxito de ventas masivo y es considerado uno de los álbumes en directo más auténticos de la era del rock de estadios.

De la idea al estudio

A finales de los 70, Aerosmith era una de las bandas en directo más grandes del mundo, pero también una de las más consumidas por las drogas. Este álbum captura ese momento a la perfección. Las grabaciones proceden de varios conciertos de su gira de 1977-78, con la mayoría de las canciones grabadas en The Tower Theatre de Filadelfia. La producción, a cargo de su colaborador habitual Jack Douglas, buscó deliberadamente un sonido imperfecto y realista, con ruido de público, errores y la energía cruda de la banda.

Estilo musical y presentación en vivo

El sonido de "Live! Bootleg" es hard rock en su estado más puro y salvaje. Las versiones en directo de sus clásicos son a menudo más rápidas y sucias que las de estudio. La interacción entre las guitarras de Joe Perry y Brad Whitford es incendiaria, y Steven Tyler suena como un predicador de rock and roll. El álbum también incluye versiones de clásicos del R&B, como "I Ain't Got You" y "Mother Popcorn" de James Brown, que muestran sus profundas raíces en la música negra.

Canción por canción

El repertorio es una mezcla de sus grandes éxitos, como "Walk This Way" y "Sweet Emotion", con temas favoritos de los fans. Incluye una versión en directo de su versión de "Train Kept A-Rollin'". El álbum también contiene una canción de estudio inédita, "Chip Away the Stone", que se convirtió en un sencillo.

Lanzamiento y rendimiento en listas

"Live! Bootleg" fue un éxito de ventas masivo, alcanzando el estatus de platino.

Cómo lo recibió la crítica

La crítica elogió el álbum por su honestidad y su energía cruda. Fue visto como una captura perfecta de la experiencia de un concierto de Aerosmith en su apogeo. "Live! Bootleg" es un documento esencial para entender por qué, pese a sus problemas internos, Aerosmith era considerada una de las mejores bandas de rock and roll del planeta.
