VIDEO INFO: If you had to pinpoint Aerosmith’s commercial/cultural peak then this, I would contend, is it as MTV (who at the time had unparalleled global reach and influence as a media brand) marked their tenth anniversary by inviting a select handful of superstar musicians to record an original performance of a classic hit.
The likes of George Michael, Madonna, Michael Jackson and R.E.M. were judged sufficiently iconic and contemporarily relevant, especially by way of their video output, for an hour-long special interspliced with animation and celebrity interviews and whimsical introductions from Mel Gibson, Tom Cruise et al and broadcast on 27 November 1991.
And Aerosmith objectively stole the show courtesy of this collaboration with Michael Kamen’s Orchestra, a special rendition of their first classic hit ‘Dream On’ recorded in their home city of Boston at the Wang Theatre (aka Boston Music Hall/Boch Center) in front of an audience of invited guests and fan-club members.
Thereafter this performance garnered heavy rotation as an MTV video and the audio was one of the many bizarre features of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 1993 flop ‘Last Action Hero’, one of those projects where the soundtrack, as exemplified by AC/DC’s superb ‘Big Gun’ single, was markedly better than the movie.

One of my favorite Aerosmith performances EVER. I watched this special when it first aired and I completely forgot about the rest of the show 🤣. This was also the first time I recall experiencing goosebumps during a musical performance. Thank you for posting. 🥰
