Editorial Review:
More than three decades after coming on the rock scene and being dismissed as Rolling Stones wannabes, Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, and the rest of Aerosmith are still going strong--a good deal stronger, in fact, than Mick and the boys, if You Gotta Move, Aerosmith's first live DVD, is any indication. Throughout this 162-minute concert documentary (including the 90-minute program that first aired on the A&E channel), the musicians talk about being "in the zone," and there's no denying that they're at the top of their game, playing even their oldest hits with genuine fire and conviction. Along with "Dream On," "Back in the Saddle," "Walk This Way," "Sweet Emotion," and other classic rock faves, a good portion of the show (as well as a 30-minute bonus documentary) is devoted to Honkin' on Bobo, their 2004 blues/roots CD. But unlike the Stones or the Yardbirds (another obvious Aerosmith inspiration), whose blues and R&B covers formed the bulk of their early output, Aerosmith waited until late in their career to record chestnuts like "Baby, Please Don't Go" and "Stop Messin' Around," and their versions owe much more to the rockers who performed these tunes in the '60s (Van Morrison and Ted Nugent for the former, and Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac for the latter) than to the bluesmen who wrote them. No surprise there--Aerosmith, too, is at heart no more or less than a no-frills, hard-rocking band. That's exactly what their fans want, and it's hard to imagine that any of them will be less than thrilled with You Gotta Move. The generous extra material includes five songs not aired in the original broadcast, the documentary mentioned above, and an audio CD of six songs from the show. --Sam Graham
Aerosmith - You Gotta Move (Jewel Case) Reviews:
Sound was off, not a very good dvd. 
2008-07-06 - Could not wait to watch this DVD. When I got home and watched it with my wife we noticed that the music was much louder then Steven's vocal. You could not hear much of the lyric. This band is great, but who ever made this DVD should edit cartoons for the deff and blind.
Only good, but still better than most 
2008-02-29 - Well, everybody has already talked about the annoying editing so i won't bother. The concert itself is awesome though. It's funny, because the documentary part is about the making of their album "Honkin' on Bobo," but they only do two songs from it. It's almost like they are trying to say "Please, listen to our blues music, it's really good, but there's no way that we could make a movie about it that would sell." So, it's a story of the making of "Honkin' on Bobo," but to the tune of everybody's favorite Aerosmith songs. I own it, I love it and I can watch it over and over again
Great! 
2008-02-29 - Very nice performance, although I prefer live DVD's that show a little more of what's happening on stage...
Still it's amazing stuff, I just love the 5 bonus tracks that really show the band in all its glory.
Aerosmith - You Gotta Move 
2007-08-31 - This was everything I expected with great performances - insight from the Band - special Guest like Lenny Kravitz talking about how these guys are a great bunch of guys. The music is good it was put together well - a good mix of old and newer songs up to the release and tour of Honkin On Bobo - which I believe is somewhere around 2003 vintage. I would recommend this to anyone who is the slightest fan of Aerosmith. It allows you to appreciate the band even more. I am going to see them very soon in Toronto Canada and I am looking forward to a great show.
Missing the point ? 
2006-12-03 - Last night, I watched the WHO at a recent BBC session at the roundhouse in London ... once a brilliant group, here were Roger ( who looked like a botoxed waxwork ) and Pete ( greying and lethargic ) looking and sounding HORRIBLE. Daltrey could not hit a note, his timing was rubbish and they killed what were once fantastic songs. On top of that the "energy" of the band was about the same as that produced my hamster running around his exercise wheel.
My point? Here are Aerosmith 30 years on rocking as hard as ever, and Steve Tyler producing a vocal performance which was simply breathtaking. Throughout the entire concert he does not miss a note, and I am in AWE of his vocal ability after a lifetime of ..well, everything he has lived through !
OK, we can all criticise this DVD "packaging" for all the stated reasons, but lets remember that there are precious few reviewers here who criticise the music, energy, and brilliance of Aerosmith the group. You should be proud of these guys because they are everything that a rock group should be, and the fact that they are as good now as they were when I first saw them 20 odd years ago, and are still able to put 100% into their performances, is almost unique.
I wish I could say the same for some British groups that attempt to maintain rock credibility, but are now frankly, embarrassing. That is NOT something you could EVER level at Aerosmith.
Thanks lads(!), you bought a tear to my eye. You have created some of the best rock music this world has ever heard, and although not perfect, this DVD is WELL worth the money
