Aerosmith- Pump 35th- Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton, Brad Whitford, Joey Kramer 9-9

Pump by Aerosmith hasn’t aged a lick since I hosted the world premiere broadcast to all of North America in September 1989. Pump still blows me away, from the stun gun opener,”Young Lust”, through the strutting “F.I.N.E. (I’m Ready)”, the naughty-but-nice “Love in an Elevator”, the true life “Monkey on My Back”, and the ear candy production and no-nonsense story of “Janie’s Got a Gun”. And that’s just side one of Pump, Aerosmith’s tenth album.

The other side of Pump invites us indeed to “The Other Side”, “My Girl”, “Don’t Get Mad, Get Even”, and closes out with the huge hit “What It Takes”. To mark the thirty-fifth anniversary of this essential desert island disc, Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton, Brad Whitford, and Joey Kramer of Aerosmith all squeeze In the Studio the week of September 9 to Pump up the volume on this spectacular 7,000,000+ seller. -Redbeard
