What Songs Are on ‘Aerosmith (Legendary Edition)’?

Aerosmith (Legendary Edition) features a 2024 remaster and remix, but it’s the third CD of live songs and previously unreleased bonus tracks that are at the center of the project. The 11-track concert recording, from March 20, 1972, two months after the debut’s release, was recorded at Paul’s Mall in the band’s hometown of Boston. The set features onstage versions of the album songs “Make It” and “Mama Kin,” as well as covers of songs Aerosmith would make part of their concert repertoire, including “Mother Popcorn” and “Train Kept A Rollin’.” Curiously, “Dream On,” the band’s debut single, is not in the live set.

What Are the Bonus Tracks on ‘Aerosmith (Legendary Edition)’?

There are also six bonus tracks on Aerosmith (Legendary Edition), all taken from the late-1972 sessions that produced the debut. Among them are rehearsal and alternate takes of the album tracks “Make It” and “Write Me a Letter,” and a pair of in-studio jams: “Harmonica Bass Jam Jelly (Session Take)” and “Joined at the Hip (Aerojam),” which includes a snippet of “Sweet Emotion.” You can see the track listing for Aerosmith (Legendary Edition) below.
