A new video from the road has popped up, though, and it’s a good one: guitarist Brad Whitford checks in from his backstage perch in Ecuador, and we get to see and hear a lot of Brad warming up for the November 5th concert there.
After South America, Aerosmith hit Mexico and then Japan before the holidays.
The road trip syncs up with the release of the 35th anniversary of their iconic 1976 album, “Rocks,” which they celebrate with a special edition due out November 23 in Japan.
The two-CD set will feature the entire album, plus assorted rarities and live tracks from the era.
The band’s fourth album, "Rocks" was a commercial success for the Boston band, with three singles charting on the Billboard Hot 100, two of which reached the Top 40 ("Back in the Saddle" and "Last Child"). The record was also one of the first albums to ship platinum when it was released; it has since gone quadruple platinum.
A new Aerosmith album – their first of original material in 10 years – is expected next spring.
