The linked version of Aerosmith doing Dream On live has got to be the worse performance Tyler has ever done of the song!!!
Who picked out what vids to show? Often they’re awful. For example, Sinatra. Frank’s voice from the 1950s was smooth like silk, but from the last few years of his life, let’s face it, he was awful, raspy, and he often couldn’t remember all the lyrics. I saw him in Frankfurt, Germany in 1995. I was dismayed, as I had bragged to my German friends about his pipes.
I don’t listen to old Sinatra. Just the younger one. Much better.
I heard Frank Sinatra sing live once. It was at a birthday celebration/campaign rally for Ronald Reagan in 1980--probably well past the end of his career. Nonetheless, he did sing--he led the audience in singing "Happy Birthday."
Incidentally, my favorite Frank Sinatra song is Oh, What a Beautiful Morning, from the fall of 1943. At the time, the instrumentalists were on strike, so the recording features an arrangement with no instrumentsa and a unique accompaniment .by a vocal chorus
