Steven Tyler wrote this when he was 18, born in 1948, song would have been written around 1966. That makes Dream On almost 50 years old. Steven Tyler is brilliant, a true legend.
This was filmed at the Wang Center in Boston. I was there with my Sister. What an amazing night. I can't tell you how many takes they did of this song, but it was a lot. We all got Flashlights to light up at a certain time. After the got all the shots they wanted, they did a mini concert for all the fans in the audience. What a great night... amazing performance. I'll never for get it.
@sezwah1414people have opinions and yours is terrible, orchestras can include rock instruments but just add to the beauty and metallica is great but you actually have to have an open mind when listening to music
My 11 year old daughter just came into the room, and said "oh i love this song" and proceeded to sing along with it, word for word!! I'm bringing her up right haha
Someone, please, re-master/HD this version because this is THE best ever, its a piece of history that needs to be preserved. gives me goosebumps every time.
The audio recording of it is on The Last Action Hero soundtrack and its on all of the digital streaming services. Wish the band would remaster the video recording and release it as well though
Long time to reply to this but wanted to thank you for mentioning this. Found the soundtrack on Spotify but this song and a couple others are (currently) unavailable. Hopefully that'll change some time! I used to have the audio file (completely legally, I'm sure) on my old PC but now lost to time, but I have this at least!
No auto-tune. Steven uses his real voice. They all know how to play instruments. 1000% pure talent! Unlike today's music. No wonder this generation is so pissed.
True that and don't nobody tell me the good stuff is out there you just have to search for it. You shouldn't have to search for it, we should stop handing out participation trophies and record contracts just so we don't hurt someone's feelings because they suck.
These are tunnel visions opinion in music. You’re not gonna like all music that’s made, that’s fine. But if you’re not searching for music in such a saturated industry, you’re being ignorant
if Steven used autotune it wouldn't be Steven. I'm not saying Steven is pitch perfect, but the roughness, impreciseness in certain notes is what makes it special
When the era of combining rock music with orchestras, Steven did it right the first time and used the legendary Michael Kamen, who also worked with Metallica!
Man, all this time we've been missing out on the good old stuff, haven't we? It's like a frickin pipe dream for rock and orchestra to combine together and for it to sound this existentially awesome. And with a song as already incredible as this, sheeesh.
his mom is an opera singer....his dad a well-known orchestra player...violin and piano....Tyler was born in to very upper middle class living a good life in NYC, including schooling...his parents owned a huge 'camp' in Vermont...that's where Tyler met his future bandmates...he played drums back then....bandmates poor families...Tyler...no, never, his family was wealthy.
@@s.marcarter52 Citing his parents for talent would be relevant to my comment but whats the focus on cash? If you are wealthy you cant be talented? Far as I know loads of rich people with no talent at all so he got something you cant buy...
This whole performance was chilling. I am a huge fan of rock with an orchestra and this blended flawlessly. I also remember the chills at seeing the lighters...
When the M stood for music. I remember watching this and being blown away by it, it was really unique at the time. Bands weren't really doing things like adding an orchestra. They really set the bar for making a big performance out of a song. Awesome!
"Hello, my amazing supporter! Your warmth and positivity always brighten my day. Thank you for your unwavering love and encouragement. I'm so grateful to have you here! Where in the world are you tuning in from?"
My absolute favorite performance ever!! I can watch this over and over and over and over....well you get the point. Aerosmith is the best and that's one of my favorite songs especially with the orchestra. And that audience with the lighters, man, this just shows why I wanna be a rock musician so bad!
OMG this band has been in my life since my high school days, now on my early 60s I'm still in love with them as much as ever!,❤❤❤ they are forever!! This is the best rendition of this song ever, !!! GO boys! Live on for so many of us!
I like to come back and look at this every so often. I always wonder how someone, at least one, of those playing in the orchestra, didn't jump to their feet and start dancing! Sometimes you get it all together, the song, the band, the singer, and then you ad and orchestra on a good night and you get something rare, a truly fine, truly great, truly unique performance.
I was at this show. We had to show up at some place in Chelmsford, MA with a bunch of cans of food for a food pantry. My friend, Laurie and I got there wicked early and were one of the only people to get tickets. Watching this performance is one of the most chilling and wonderful things I have ever seen. Steven Tyler had to come down on the wire with the piano twice, but other then that they didn't need to do any retakes at all. It was amazing! I am so thankful to be able to relive this again!
I watched this live. And my thoughts have never changed. This is the greatest live performance of any song in the history of rock and roll. And to be brutally honest. It’s not even close. Jesus Christ.
O-M-G!! That was friggin' amazing!! Chills kind of good...can always count on Steven Tyler when I need something to cheer me up. Bow to the Rocks Gods.....
Quite possibly the greatest live rendition of any song in human history!!! First heard this as a teen in the early 80s. I've always loved this song and the message it holds. This version brings an emotional level that sometimes is hard to handle. Dream on my fellow humans. Peace and blessings to you and yours! JJ -South Alabama
Hands down favorite band and hands down favorite song of theirs! Specifically this version, the orchestra "behind them" and that absolutely amazing scream! Perfect!
Everyone should, just once in their life, have a moment this monumental and perfect. Easily the best live performance I have ever seen. The band, the song, the orchestra - no wonder MTV stopped showing music - they were never going to top this!
I am from Massachusetts. My Sister Jill, who was killed 20 Years ago, and We Both, ALWAYS Loved Aerosmith from Day 1! Saw many Awesome, Aerosmith Shows with Her! Starting at Westboro, Speedway. Her Son, My Nephew, is Getting Married labor day weekend. I Have picked this song for Our, Mom/Auntie & Son Wedding Dance. I Love this Version, and I am sure My Sister will be Looking Down, Dancing with Us! GOD IS GOOD!
The first time I heard this was live, a free concert at Columbus Park in Boston. I was just 16, out with the kids from my neighborhood in Dorchester. Best concert experience I ever had... 73 was an excellent year!
"Hello, my amazing supporter! Your warmth and positivity always brighten my day. Thank you for your unwavering love and encouragement. I'm so grateful to have you here! Where in the world are you tuning in from?"
Just watched this again and I still think it’s the best concert ever. I remember when they performed and it was amazing! Steven and Aerosmith are rock gods
"Hello, my amazing supporter! Your warmth and positivity always brighten my day. Thank you for your unwavering love and encouragement. I'm so grateful to have you here! Where in the world are you tuning in from?"
Ever since I've discovered this song (~ a month ago), I've made this my personal anthem. I've watched a lot of versions of this song, and there's always a comment on those vids that that performance is the greatest. I'd agree with them that those are great performances, a testament to the band's exceptional performance and Steven Tyler's immortal renditions of this song. For me, though, this is the greatest version of this song, just for the sheer undiluted, pure energy of the vocals of Steven Tyler. And yep, the orchestra adds more gravitas to the music.
Anytime a phenomenal rock or metal band is playing with an orchestra, Michael Kamen is behind it. RIP Kamen, you were one of the best orchestral composers and arrangers of your day. Metallica, Queen, Pink Floyd, Aerosmith, and the list goes on. You are missed. I'd say this and Metallica's performance of "Nothing Else Matters" with Michael Kamen conducting the orchestra at the 1999 S&M Concert are two fo the greatest moments in rock music history.
Oh my God! This is the best version of one of the best songs of all time. I love the power the orchestra gives it. Like others have said............goosebumps.
Steven at 3:49-3:59 went beyond a level I feel like human beings should be capable of. Like, his voice is impressive in general, but that literally sounded otherworldly to me.
See how he calmly controls the beast in his voice... And when he does let it, he doesn't roar like king, not like a lion but you know he does roars mighty with his notes and we shall "Dream on" forever about the perfection of this song...
Hay pocos momentos en los que la música alcanza su máxima expresión artística, este es uno de ellos. El humano puede ser muchas cosas, aberrantes y dignas de olvido, pero la creación artística es lo único que lo transporta a una esfera superior de la existencia. Puede que estemos destinados a la extinción, cuando se dé, solo quedarán estos momentos, por los que, me gustaría creer, valió la pena nuestro paso el universo. Salud.
A bunch of screaming demons is not music. However, the orchestra was music. The only good thing about it was the orchestra. If you want to hear an amazing version of this song listen to an acapella group called Voice Play. This group sings from the heart & every word they sing is clear. You can understand every word they sing.
My God, what a performance!! They take the audience from sedate at the start to pulsing with light at the end. If this video doesn't make your pulse race, seek medical help!!
Im leaving my comment here so when someone likes it, I can listen to this masterpiece again.
Agree with you 🤟
Becaz,,,❤❤❤
Hahahaha now that's a thought ❤
Indeed, it is a masterpiece!
This Masterpiece stops our Planet to spin 🌎🪐💥
Steven Tyler wrote this when he was 18, born in 1948, song would have been written around 1966. That makes Dream On almost 50 years old. Steven Tyler is brilliant, a true legend.
+mskARin888 I totally agree with you.....pure magic,,,pure artistic talent !!!!
It's incredible that he wrote the lyrics when he was 18! If you look the words, they are really intense and mature! Sweet
I can't believe this song is song is 30 years older than me! I love this song with all my ❤️
Just read on another version that he wrote it when he was 16, confirmed by several comments. Whatever... Masterpiece! Steven Tyler forever rocks!
No one would believe that this type of composition would exist in 1966 at that time of 1966
This is honestly the greatest performance of a song in the history of man. God bless Aerosmith.
I can't agree more man....my favorite song ever and the best performance of it ever...
@ Paramount Fishing,,,,,,,,,,, Couldn't agree more!!
Amen brother!!!
Amen 🙏
Its fucking amazing
In my opinion it is the best version and performance of that song!👍👏👏
@@aluu8892 its on the last action hero soundtrack on Spotify. Listening to it now. Enjoy my friend!
True frnd...
Sheer passion! He takes stage as a universal lover. Whatever that means... the way I feel.
Voice Play does it better & you can clearly understand every word Voice Play sings.
@@marshayoung9387 there is no way anyone performs this song better than Aerosmith. Not. A. Chance.

what a magic!
Wow! 🤘🏻🤘🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
What a blessing to have been there.
What year was this?
That is so ridiculously epic.
The best version of this song. Fact.
gdiniz88 its true
Good enough to play over the end credits of Last Action Hero.
agree
you know it’s truuuuuueeeeeee…..
Better than original
if only this version played on radios everywhere...love the orchestra...
habebba laila this would be more popular than the original if it were played on the radio. So great.
Paramount Fishing yes it's amazing
I've never had chills like this on this song before. Orchestras always make rock sound better.
@SEZWAH Some opinions are just objectively wrong
@sezwah1414 I think we all know who. Especially if you listen to Japanese rock, it’s more common to see it done well.
Yes, Orchestra Music 🎵🎶 Enhanced each lyric, instrument l, inflection, The change is Phenomenal 😊😅🎉😂❤ I loved this since I was a kid!😊😊😅🎉🎉❤
@sezwah1414people have opinions and yours is terrible, orchestras can include rock instruments but just add to the beauty and metallica is great but you actually have to have an open mind when listening to music
THE Finest version I have EVER heard!!
My 11 year old daughter just came into the room, and said "oh i love this song" and proceeded to sing along with it, word for word!! I'm bringing her up right haha
👏👏👏👏

Priscilla Nardone Doubt it.
hey austin p. i'm her mother and i took her so ya, she was there. we were in the 9th row. tickets given by Tank from wbcn. jealous much?
Best version ever, when I play this song, I do'nt want it to end
Great times when we had real singers. No auto tune, only talent. Steven is one of greatest singers and performer of all time. No doubt about it.
Honestly this has to be the absolute best version of this song ever. Gave me chills listening to it.
Would kill for HD of this performance
No auto-tune. Steven uses his real voice. They all know how to play instruments. 1000% pure talent! Unlike today's music. No wonder this generation is so pissed.

Gives me freakin' goosebumps no matter how many times I hear it...!
Y E S ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ME TOO!!!!!
we need this on HD
Now, kids, THIS is what you call 'epic'
Wow, now that was rock at its finest, just fu**ing plain and simple.
When the era of combining rock music with orchestras, Steven did it right the first time and used the legendary Michael Kamen, who also worked with Metallica!
Metallica d
Metallic disappear
Metallica
Just got into Aerosmith. Can't stop watching this, it's so EPIC!
Star Gazer this video was in the 90's, too, which was during the height of their SECOND career.
Dang that sounds awesome with the orchestra!
Best Aerosmith's performance ever...
Without a doubt the best performance of this song ever
Agreed
Another song where band + full orchestra = perfection!!!
Aerosmith is far from being my favorite band, but this version of Dream On always brings me chills down my spine... IMPRESSIVE
Man, all this time we've been missing out on the good old stuff, haven't we?
It's like a frickin pipe dream for rock and orchestra to combine together and for it to sound this existentially awesome. And with a song as already incredible as this, sheeesh.
This is truly the best performance of a song in rock history. Aerosmith are masters
The best arrangement ever. A true classic.
2023 still a banger love this song. I remember watching this live. Thank God we had cable. Th ole clicker cable box.
One of the BEST performances in Rock EVER !
I was there for this, I won tickets from a local rock radio station.
The energy was amazing, definately a highlight in my life!!
Great for u 👍
One of the best live performances I have ever seen. I love it when rock can include full orchestras....
i never thought aerosmith were this good. This is epic. cant believe the control he has over his voice
his mom is an opera singer....his dad a well-known orchestra player...violin and piano....Tyler was born in to very upper middle class living a good life in NYC, including schooling...his parents owned a huge 'camp' in Vermont...that's where Tyler met his future bandmates...he played drums back then....bandmates poor families...Tyler...no, never, his family was wealthy.

Yes they ARE this good. They have dozens upon dozens of amazing songs
This whole performance was chilling. I am a huge fan of rock with an orchestra and this blended flawlessly. I also remember the chills at seeing the lighters...
This version makes me wanna get down on my knees and worship. Seriously. 🕯️🎵

This performance is everything for me.
