I was skeptical when the “drums” came, but that was really good. Steven friggin nailed that vocal.

[lubo]

Steven and Joe never disappoint but I was seriously impressed by the 2nd singer and the beatboxer. All 4 absolutely smashed it

[aljadjulie]

That's got to be the coolest version of this song!!

[Nicoke]

They went at those high notes with non fear

[TheRebelAndTheGirl]

You don't get bands sounding this good live anymore. So organic.

[WheelzOfFortune]

This was flawless. The guitar, the beatbox, the harmonies, the lead vocals. Damn.

[bryanmmusic]

I like how Steven looked pleasantly surprised by the beatboxer when he started.

[sohJOAO]

The vocals were so great that we overlooked Joe’s guitar playing. Loved how smooth it sounds.

[alexandrebouchard]

I simply cannot get over the fact that Steven is 49 years old in that clip

What a legendary moment, Howard looks more like an Aerosmith member than the actual members!!

[jonsambora]

Joe is a crazy rockstar when he’s got a les paul, but when he’s got an acoustic guitar, he is just an amazing professional guitarist.

[DisenchantedElleJay]

Just an incredible performance from every single member.

[CPTMilitello]

This might be the best version of this song that I have ever heard. I love the acoustic and beatboxing sound.

[flyofchange]

This is what musicians sound like. Gives me chills.

[BigDH]

Good god, that was one of the best live radio performance EVER!!! This could have been on a album completely untampered with! Absolutely Incredible! 😱👍👍👍👏👏👏

I have followed Aerosmith since 1973, when the Dream On didn't even hit the airwaves till three years later in 1975. It became a huge hit. I bought their first album. Nobody heard of them until a friend introduced them to me. Momma Kin, Make It, Back In The Saddle, were all favorites of mine. Their other albums like Toys In The Attic were classics as well. I am glad that they were able to survive this long. This was truly a demonstration of Steven Tyler's vocal talent.

I AM 53yrs old . and 2 of those dudes music has kept me young for a long time! Peace!!!

I think really the coolest thing besides the music itself, is watching real legendary people make the music right in front of you. Getting to see someone like Steven Tyler and Aerosmith make music like that is something special. It’s pretty rare actually.

[Memphischic]

This is a Fantastic Acoustical version of PINK, my favorite performance of the song ❤

[expertexcavatinginc]

What a treat. Love these guys. It's hard to hate Aerosmith. I mean for crying out loud even my phone can autocorrect their band name in a text. Legends for sure and great performance.
