Editorial Review:
Drug addiction couldn't stop them, nor could the ascension of alterna-rock and the process of aging. Not only are Aerosmith still together, but they're still recording hit singles. Since their formation in the early '70s, the band has scored a multitude of platinum albums and Top 40 hits. Moreover, Aerosmith remain a flamboyant, energized live band capable of recapturing that magical, sexual endorphin rush of youthful rock & roll abandon. Yup, on a good night, seeing Aerosmith is like experiencing your first time all over again. So it comes as no surprise that this band's double live disc is no mere trip down memory lane. Vocalist Steven Tyler still sounds raw, untamed, and on-key, shrieking as passionately as ever and reaching notes Robert Plant and Oz. Osbourne would sell their kidneys for. And guitarist Joe Perry's bluesy, blustery rhythms and piercing solos still echo with passion and hunger. The first disc is a bit bogged down with '90s material, but the band performs stellar versions of "Love in an Elevator," "Livin' on the Edge," "Cryin'," and "Janie's Got Gun." It's the second disc that really sizzles, as the Toxic Twins dip into their drug-addled past and unleash monsters such as "Back in the Saddle," "Dream On," and "Sweet Emotion." Get your rocks off! --Jon Wiederhorn
A Little South of Sanity [Clean Version] Reviews:
WOW! 
2000-08-08 - This Live CD is just outstanding! I was amazed at the quality that it shows! Is Aerosmith at its best! If you have never been to an Aerosmith concert, then buy this CD, and you'll just want to be there, with Aerosmith, on stage, between Steven and Joe!
Best album Aerosmith has cut since Rocks. 
1999-10-06 - I'm serious, all their albums between Rocks and a Little South of Sanity are very mediocre. Listen to the track Same Old Song and Dance, it really kicks!
Three Decades of Hits 
1999-05-20 - I bought this CD the day after I saw Aerosmith in concert. I saw them in 1990 and they were even better in 1999! I wanted something with all my favorie songs on it and that's what I found! I was a fan back in high school in the late 70's so not only does it have the big hits from back then it has some hits from the 80's and 90's. What more could you ask for. Any band that is still going this strong after three decades has got to be GREAT! If you're an Aerosmith fan you've GOT to get "A Little South of Sanity"!
Liked the cd. But didn't expect what was given. 
1999-01-24 - I bought the cd thinking that I'd get something a little more harsh. What I mean is that I thought Tyler would have more time talking on the mike and pumping up the audience and the band then he did. I also thought that the band would go beyond the recorded songs barriers and would improvise a little bit more. Basically I anticipated them mixing everything up a little bit more. Overall I really did love the album despite what I thought and what I got. Anyways, one article I read in last months People magazine basically claimed that Aerosmith was copying their British counterparts, The Rolling Stones, but who are they to say something like that? If Aerosmith had been aroung longer than the Stones I believe the article would have gone the other way. Aerosmith has been aroung long enough, produced good enough music, and put on good enough shows over the past three decades to deserve anything they do to at least gain respect from some know-it-all "journalist'! No matter what anyone tries to argue, Aerosmith is one of the greatest rock'n'roll bands ever. And if they're still rocking in their fifties they're obviously doing something right!
Aerosmith has put out yet another fantastic work of art. 
1998-12-20 - It has so many different songs from different albums that whenever I can't pick which Aerosmith CD I want to listen to, I put this one in! All the songs are great. I love it.
