Year: 1973
"Dream On" is the first single by Aerosmith from their 1973 debut album, Aerosmith. Written by lead singer Steven Tyler, this blues-influenced power ballad became their first major hit. Released in June 1973, it peaked at #59 nationally but hit big in the bands native Boston, where on the less commercial top 40 station WBZ-FM it was the #1 single of the year (#5 for the year on WRKO-AM and #16 on WMEX-AM). The album version of "Dream On" (4:28 as opposed to the 3:25 1973 45rpm edit) was used for a 1976 single re-release, which climbed to #6 on Billboards national chart in the first half of the year. This song was first played live in Willimantic, CT at the Shaboo Inn. Read full article at wikipedia.org
