Classics Live I and II

Classics Live and Classics Live II are albums by American rock band Aerosmith, released in 1986 and 1987, respectively. Together, they constitute the band's second live offering, after Live! Bootleg. Classics Live I has gone platinum while Classics Live II has gone gold.

Classics Live! is drawn from concerts in 1978 and 1984. Some of the recordings feature guitarists Jimmy Crespo and Rick Dufay, who had replaced Joe Perry and Brad Whitford respectively. Different versions of most of its songs had been released on Live! Bootleg in 1978. Venues and dates are not listed on the sleeve; instead, it states, "These songs were recorded at various concerts between 1977 and 1983." Which of the four guitarists play on which tracks is not noted.

The studio track "Major Barbra" was recorded for, but left off, the album Get Your Wings. An alternate version appears on the compilation Pandora's Box.

All songs recorded at the Orpheum Theatre, Boston, Massachusetts, February 14, 1984[citation needed], except where noted.

All tracks are written by Steven Tyler, except where noted.

Classics Live! II mainly features tracks recorded at a New Year's Eve show in 1984, with all five original members reunited. Also featured are the opening track of 1985's Done with Mirrors, "Let the Music Do the Talking", and a rendition of 1977's "Draw the Line" from California Jam II. Band photography is by Paul McAlpine.

All recorded at the Orpheum Theatre, Boston, Massachusetts, December 31, 1984, except where noted.

All tracks are written by Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, except where noted.
