Audience recording of which the soundquality is above the average. There are not that much Nine Lives Tour recordings available (at least we don't have that much of 'em), but everytime you get to hear one, you'll conclude that the Nine Lives Tour really rocked! (in my opinion that is, for sure). According to Cline Newton's site, not listed are Same old Song and Dance (after Livin' on the Edge) and Full Circle (after Taste of India). However, according to rockthisway.de, only Full Circle is missing. To be honest, I couldn't hear something was left out.
I think I will always like Nine Lives as a concert opener (I went to see Aerosmith once in '99 and they just dropped Nine Lives from the set then - they haven't been here ever since. Back in the Saddle was a good substitute, though). Anyway, looking at the setlist, there are only three songs from the Nine Lives album in it (and they're all in the first half, too). Also, there are two other 'new' songs in IDWTMAT and What Kind Of Love Are You On? So it seems the tour is already in support of the A Little South of Sanity album instead of the NL album. However, considering the fact that the tour kicked off about 15 months earlier, it's not really strange the setlist has changed.
Before Eat The Rich, Steven yells: "Hamilton! I introduce mister Tom Hamilton! Who's great grandfather... aah ... ahh!" Before the first lyrics of Eat the Rich, Steven yells: "I love this song!" Of course, the songs contains alternate lyrics, but I haven't been able to decipher them. If you listened to some GAG Tour bootlegs, or if you have the Rocking into the Year 2000 bootleg, you'll know what kind of 'sound' Steven produces after Eat the Rich and after saying: "Wait a minute."
After Livin' On The Edge, Steven says: "Alright, alright! Second gear!" This statement is followed by a pretty good rendition of Dream On. There's a bit too much echo during the 'scream' parts of Taste of India. During Janie's a got a Gun, somebody is talking really close to the microphone of the recorder.
What Kind of Love are You on? is introduced with: "From the Armageddon soundtrack, [there were many?] delicious, the wet spot."
Before Last Child, Steven is asking several times: "Hey Brad? Say Brad?" When he says: "Mister Brad Whitford!" The first tunes of Last Child can be heard. During Rag Doll, Steven sings: "Don't mind, Kramer's looking sleazy." And later: "Gettin' ready for bit time, that fucked up ain't no friend of mine."
Before Draw the Line, Steven "feels some magic going on." After the guitar part, the band stops playing for about 40 seconds, before the apotheose of Draw the Line. Unfortunately, one can clearly hear that Steven isn't really screaming it.
Of course it is Joe fucking Perry on the guitar, who's going to sing his ass off, according to Steven. I wonder on how many bootlegs we heard that before. The very first guitar tunes right before Joe starts Stop Messing Around, are different from those heard on other bootlegs, however. It sounds like Joe is improvising a bit, but doesn't really know what to play.
Before Mother Popcorn, Steven does a little rap: "Mister Joe Perry, mister Joe Perry. In da house! In da House! Yeah, Mister Joe Perry in the house, yeah!" During Mother Popcorn, Steven does a part in which he tocks like a chicken, followed by the GAG album intro and eventually Walk This Way, yelling: "Get the fuck out of my face!" (Didn't I already tell you that this show was in favour of the A Little South of Sanity album?). Added lyrics to Walk This Way after "She gave me a little kiss, like this:" "Ooh, baby, baby, baby! What was your name? Aaha!"
After hearing some NL and other recent bootlegs (and the show I went to myself), I got the impression that Steven had a hard time doing a proper sung (and I don't mean the lyrics) version of Crying. I got nothing to remark on this version, however.
"So never judge a boy by his cover, or what you gonna wear for a rubber?" according to a phrase from Dude. At the end of the song, Steven sings "What's your name again, baby?" And afterwards, he yells: "Goodnight, goodnight!" Before saying: "Smell that towel! I ain't my towel, it's his!" (I wonder who he is pointing at).
Before Come Together, there's only an extended drum intro, while Steven says: "So get back to that soundtrack of Armageddon. Ooh baby, you know you have no idea of where I could see you. Pass it around, pass it around!" After about half a minute of only drums, the song is lifted of. I read on
Clive Newton's site that they were awarded for selling a certain amount of copies of A Little South of Sanity during this show, so guess the 'award' (a golden or platinum record, I presume) was what had to be passed around.
As almost all the songs on this bootleg, the performance of What it Takes is really, good, too. Before Heartbreaker starts, during Sweet Emotion, about half a jamsession of a crashing guitar passes. Unfortunately, this is the last song played... Of course it ends with the band introduction. Tom Hamilton is introduced with: "Tom..." and the crowd yelling "Hamilton!" Joe is introduced with "And on the guitar, with one sore chin, mister Joe fucking Perry!" And on lead vocals, weighing 145 pounds, the kick-boxing champion of New Hamphire, the deamon of screamin', Steven Tyler!"
Well now, there's this video with a snippet from Taste of India on the http://www.toysinourattic.com site. The comment on this video is 'Steven kicking you in the face by accident.' Watching this snippet, I wasn't sure if Joe was actually hit, because you don't see any reaction on his face. I guess the answer is in the band introduction above...
