"Aerosmith on Tour" focuses on the touring history of Aerosmith, based on local reviews of the shows and the contemporaneous critical perception of the band. This first volume of "Aerosmith on Tour" covers the band's early grind, as they sought to establish themselves on the rock 'n' roll landscape, through the successes and internal turmoil, ending with the successful 1984 reunion. Also covered are the offshoot bands, the Joe Perry Project and Whitford/St. Holmes, and classic era discographies. This is an unofficial & unsanctioned work fifteen years in the making! It's packed full of hundreds of tour ads, concert ticket stubs, set lists, and reviews. Spin your favorite Aerosmith LP, sit back, and take a trip back in time reliving memories you may have forgotten, show by show by show! "Julian's previous books about Kiss were outstanding, so I set my expectations rather high when I heard he was working on a book that chronicled Aerosmith's tour history during their glory years. Not only did 'Aerosmith on Tour, 1973-85' meet my expectations, but it bloody obliterated them!" —Greg Prato (author, 'Take It Off: KISS Truly Unmasked') "This isn't a book of 'best bits'. It's a book that works because of the overall passion that's been invested in the notion that it's important to document even the most minute detail of the band's working life... The particularly hefty book is a brilliant piece of work for a hardcore fan of early Aerosmith... The level of research is exceptional, and this book really illustrates the pathway the band took to stardom" —Howard Johnson (Rock Candy Magazine, April-May, 2022) "Author and rock historian extraordinaire Julian Gill has done it again. Aerosmith on Tour, 1973-85 is living antiquity, an exhaustive, extensive, unbelievably detailed trip across a decade of road stories, trinkets, facts, side stories, statistics, and images that frame one of the most impressive touring runs in the pantheon of rock and roll... This is a true grassroots book/online effort that is so unique it may spawn imitators, but in no way duplicators. Gill's ability to mine minutia, find the gems, and get to the crux of the facts is without peer, and this volume may be his finest achievement" —James Campion (The Aquarian, July 4, 2022) "This is different, not even as much a formal history but a delectable compendium of memories and memorabilia, concert reports and showbills, newspaper ads and reviews of the band from a wide variety of sources... You might think it is just a book for Aerosmith devotees, but then after being engrossed in it for an hour or more, you realize it really is a fascinating record of an unforgettable time in rock history" —Jay N. Miller (The Patriot Ledger, Jan. 31, 2022)
