1987 Original. A Live Compilation In Custom Inner Sleeve. Released in 1987, Aerosmith’s *Classics Live! II* serves as a companion to the earlier *Classics Live!* album, both of which compiled previously unreleased live performances from the band’s archives. Unlike the first installment, which included recordings from various years and lineups, *Classics Live! II* features performances from the early to mid-1980s, a period marked by the band's struggles with lineup changes and personal issues. The album captures Aerosmith during the lead-up to their commercial resurgence, and it includes tracks recorded after the return of guitarists Joe Perry and Brad Whitford. The setlist features energetic renditions of fan favorites like "Draw the Line" and "Dream On," showcasing the enduring appeal of the band's classic material even during a tumultuous era.
