High school gyms and Hull's Surf Nantasket: Aerosmith book chronicles band's early tours

While we all dig out from the latest Snowmageddon and dream of when the world will finally get back to normal and we can hear live music again, there’s a new treasure for rock fans, a deep dive back into the earliest days of Aerosmith , the storied rock band with South Shore roots.  

Julian Gill’s “Aerosmith – On Tour 1973-85” came out in December from  DeJulien Publishing, a 612-page labor of love that traces the band’s career from its earliest days through its first dozen years of prominence.

Obviously, fans might be thinking that there have been several books covering the band’s history and autobiographical tomes from almost all the principals. Gill even salutes Milton author Stephen Davis’ acclaimed “Walk This Way” as the premier – and official – band bio. This is different, not even as much a formal history but a delectable compendium of memories and memorabilia, concert reports and showbills, newspaper ads and reviews of the band from a wide variety of sources.

As Gill notes in his introduction, this volume is not a biography of the band, and not just a gossipy he said/he said, and the author does not consider himself an Aerosmith insider. His aim has been to collect a raw compendium of literally everything he could find about the band, its formative years and its progress. It contains a daunting list of shows performed, with attendance figures, set lists when available, receipts if possible and who else was on the bill that night.

The book does not aim to simply present a list of bootleg recordings of some of those shows, but it does make note of when shows were recorded or videotaped. The book is arranged chronologically from the band's earliest days to the days after the January 1973 release of its  eponymous debut album and then album by album through 1985.

Fans will like the way Gill presents excerpts from other works; he simply cites the source immediately in parenthesis. Looking over all these band artifacts is fascinating and Gill has it made it accessible. One old ad touting a show in Willimantic, Connecticut, in the mid-1970s has the club featuring Wheatstraw right after Aerosmith. Local fans know Wheatstraw was the band fronted by Cohasset songsmith Chuck McDermott, who is still making compelling music, including the 2021 album we just cited in our Best Albums of the Year.

A musical 'time warp'

“I’m a massive collector,” Gill said by phone from his San Francisco home. “I’m the publisher because this book is a little dense. I’m not selling salacious details, but a lot of technical details, so most publishers wouldn’t be interested. With all the other books already out, including from band members, I try to let them be the ones to tell their story, and just add contemporaneous details from that time. Referring to the band members’ autobiographies, I’m not trying to prove or disprove anything that’s in them, but try to point out where they diverge, or where someone may have conflated things that happened at a different time.”

Looking at the band’s origins, it probably always surprises people to realize that singer Steven Tyler came from a musical family, with a father who was a classical pianist. Tyler  had already had a bit of a rock career before joining his eventual bandmates, including in a New York City rock group called Strangers, or for a more exotic sound, Strangeurs. That outfit opened for The Yardbirds and The Lovin’ Spoonful in the New York area. Tyler, numerous sources say, is the consummate perfectionist, whose demand for getting it right frequently drove his bandmates mad.

Guitarist Joe Perry , meanwhile, was growing up in Hopedale and the two stars met during summer gigs, particularly at the music camp run by Tyler’s father. By 1970, Perry had moved to Boston with his trio, to  an apartment at 1325 Commonwealth Ave.  Drummer Joey Kramer and bassist Tom Hamilton also landed in Boston, and the band found each other.

Legendary night at Nipmuc

Accounts vary on how the principals came together after that, and Gill’s book offers several of the conflicting accounts. Guitarist Raymond Tabano, who had a leather shop in Boston that provided more income than the other guys at that point, was an early key player but would soon be replaced by Brad Whitford. Rehearsing in a Boston University basement space, the band soon began playing actual shows, and those early months show a lot of gigs at the Lakeview Ballroom on Route 16 in Mendon after their legendary maiden gig at Nipmuc Regional High School in Mendon.

By 1972,  Aerosmith was playing pretty regularly, although some of those local venues were unique, and reviews from the time are often hilariously pretentious. One fall 1972 gig had the band playing K-K-K-Katy’s in Kenmore Square with Elvis impersonator Golden Joe Baker headlining the next night. When the band returned to play the club for four nights in a row in December, the ad in The Boston Globe listed them as "Arrowsmith."

'One region at a time'

By the end of ’72, of course, Aerosmith had their record deal with Columbia Records, and their eponymous debut, recorded at Intermedia Sound on Newbury Street in Boston, was released in January 1973. Who remembers that their record got scant PR because its release came on the same day some kid from New Jersey named Springsteen released his much-ballyhooed Columbia debut?

Even though Aerosmith's debut included “Dream On,” neither the single nor the album would be an immediate hit, so the band had to hit the road again and win audiences over night by night. A March ’73 show found them at Paul’s Mall on Boylston Street in Boston, normally a jazz club, during a week  when they were squeezed in between pop singer Hoyt Axton and soulman Billy Paul.

A tour opening for the Mahavishnu Orchestra didn’t work out – far different styles of music and audiences – but a later one with The Kinks was better and when Aerosmith got a chance to open for Mott the Hoople, things began to take off.

South Shore stars: 2022 will be a big year for entertainers with local connections

“They became popular one region at a time, first Boston and New Hampshire, and then further out,” noted Gill. “You see that having to hone your skills in front of a confrontational audience, such as they faced on that Mahavishnu tour, helped them grow as musicians. Mott the Hoople was on the way down but that was a good match of audiences.” 

Hull and Stonehill College gigs

By August the band was opening for Sha Na Na before 35,000 fans at Suffolk Downs, and a Globe review called Tyler “a pseudo Mick Jagger” while dismissing their music as geared to “the bubblegum set.” There’s a notation of a Sept. 21 show at The Surf in Nantasket Beach, just before a Sept. 29 show at Boston College filled McHugh Forum beyond its  5,500 capacity. Two shows at the Orpheum Theatre  in Boston opening for Mott the Hoople were sellouts at the end of October. There is not much info about a Nov. 11 show at Stonehill College but a noise complaint someone lodged indicates the show happened.

“Writers in the ‘70s seemed to be having a contest; how to insult Steven Tyler the most,” Gill said, laughing. “He never denied his debt to Mick Jagger. But those reviews are very colorful and reading them is like entering a time warp.”

But that debut album kept building as “Dream On” belatedly became a hit single and the album went gold in September 1975. The album finally got as high No. 21 on the charts in 1976, spending 59 weeks on the charts, and achieved platinum status in 1986.

In 1974, their second album, “Get Your Wings,” was released. It was more popular almost right away and it went gold little more than a year later. By ’75, their third album, “Toys in the Attic,” was riding high and Aerosmith was headlining a sold-out Boston Garden. But all that later success started with those first years of relentless touring, performing anywhere they could.

Tyler hitches home from Bourne

One of our favorite anecdotes noted in the book involved a couple of area dates from February 1974. On  Feb. 9, Aerosmith played at Mass. Maritime Academy and the next night they performed at Southern Mass. University in Dartmouth. But the second gig violated a no-compete-within-30-miles clause in their contract for the Mass. Maritime Academy show, so the band didn’t get paid that night. Whether that upset him or, as the opening band’s drummer claimed, he just did it for a lark, Tyler ended up hitchhiking home from Bourne.

Along with all the detailed dates, statistics and set lists in the book, that’s the kind of humanizing nuance that makes it so engrossing. You might think it is just a book for Aerosmith devotees, but then after being engrossed in it for an hour or more, you realize it really is a fascinating record of an unforgettable time in rock history.

AEROSMITH: 'On Tour: 1973-1985' Book Now Available

Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the formation of the classic AEROSMITH lineup — Steven Tyler , Joe Perry , Brad Whitford , Tom Hamilton and Joey Kramer — a new book, "Aerosmith On Tour: 1973-1985" , exhaustively chronicles for the first time the band's career on the road, from early gigs in high school auditoriums and ratty clubs to headlining arenas and stadiums. Written by Julian Gill , "Aerosmith On Tour: 1973-1985" unveils its tale via local reviews, eyewitness reports, press accounts and interviews with key insiders.

You'll join the "Bad Boys from Boston" as the band earns their stripes on the rock and roll battlefield the hard way opening for acts like THE KINKS , HUMBLE PIE and the MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA , enjoying breakthrough success with albums "Toys In The Attic" and "Rocks", imploding in the late '70s, a result of internal turmoil and substance abuse issues, before ending triumphantly with their successful "Back In The Saddle" 1984 reunion tour. The 612-page book is further augmented by a feast of visual material (concert and record ads, vintage reviews, and photographs) lending an engrossing portrait of America's greatest rock and roll band.

"Aerosmith On Tour: 1973-1985" is available via Amazon .

Since AEROSMITH 's founding 50 years ago, the group has gone on to sell more than 150 million albums around the world; produced genre-defining music videos such as "Amazing" , "Crazy" , "Janie's Got A Gun" , "Livin' On The Edge" and "Love In An Elevator" ; launched extravagant record-shattering global tours, most recently with their ongoing smash hit Las Vegas residency. The band has broken numerous boundaries, including becoming the first rock band with a massive commercially successful hip-hop collaboration with RUN-DMC on "Walk This Way" and the first hard rock band to appear during a Super Bowl Halftime Show with their 2001 performance, and in 1999, AEROSMITH became the first band to have their own themed attraction at Disney World in Florida, and later Paris with the launch of the Rock 'N' Roller coaster starring AEROSMITH .

With broad cultural influence, AEROSMITH has prominently appeared in films, television shows and video games, as well as influencing multiple generations of rock bands, both as style icons and acclaimed multi-instrumentalists. MusiCares honored the band in 2020 as Person Of The Year for their many artistic achievements and dedication to philanthropy, including Steven Tyler 's initiative Janie's Fund initiative, which supports young women who've suffered the trauma of abuse and neglect.

Inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2001, AEROSMITH is tied for the most RIAA album certifications by an American group with 25 gold, 18 platinum, 12 multi-platinum and one diamond. As the band was founded in Boston in 1970, April 13 has been declared "Aerosmith Day" in Massachusetts by former governor William Weld .

Written by Julian Gill, the book exhaustively chronicles the band’s career on the road for the first time.

Published on

Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the formation of the classic Aerosmith lineup — Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Brad Whitford, Tom Hamilton and Joey Kramer — a new book, Aerosmith On Tour: 1973-1985 , exhaustively chronicles the band’s career on the road for the first time.

Taking in the legendary rockers’ early gigs in high school auditoriums and ratty clubs to headlining arenas and stadiums. Aerosmith On Tour: 1973-1985 unveils its tale via local reviews, eyewitness reports, press accounts and interviews with key insiders.

Written by Julian Gill, the book follows the band as they earn their stripes on the rock and roll battlefield the hard way opening for acts like The Kinks , Humble Pie and the Mahavishnu Orchestra, enjoying breakthrough success with albums Toys In The Attic and Rocks , imploding in the late ’70s, a result of internal turmoil and substance abuse issues, before ending triumphantly with their successful ‘Back In The Saddle’ 1984 reunion tour.

The 612-page book is further augmented by a feast of visual material (concert and record ads, vintage reviews, and photographs) lending an engrossing portrait of America’s greatest rock and roll band.

Since Aerosmith’s founding 50 years ago, the group has gone on to sell more than 150 million albums around the world; produced genre-defining music videos such as “Amazing”, “Crazy”, “Janie’s Got A Gun”, “Livin’ On The Edge” and “Love In An Elevator”; launched extravagant record-shattering global tours, most recently with their ongoing smash hit Las Vegas residency .

The band has broken numerous boundaries, including becoming the first rock band with a massive commercially successful hip-hop collaboration with Run-DMC on “Walk This Way” and the first hard rock band to appear during a Super Bowl Halftime Show with their 2001 performance, and in 1999, Aerosmith became the first band to have their own themed attraction at Disney World in Florida, and later Paris with the launch of the Rock ‘N’ Roller coaster starring Aerosmith.
