Originally released in 1973, “Dream On” became one of Aerosmith’s defining songs. What starts as a quiet, piano-driven ballad gradually builds into a massive rock anthem, ending with one of Steven Tyler’s most unforgettable vocal performances.

More than four decades later, Tyler brought that same emotional intensity to the stage during Aerosmith’s 2016 performance in Mexico City. As the song slowly builds, his vocals rise higher and higher until the final climax takes the entire performance to another level.

The festival crowd wasn’t necessarily sure what to make of them—but the band played like they had something to prove.

Follow us Star Stream Radio for daily rock content ❤️

The song itself has a fascinating story. Stevie wrote it following the deaths of her uncle Jonathan and John Lennon in 1980. But the unforgettable title came from a simple misunderstanding.

While talking with Jane Petty, Stevie heard her say that she had met Tom Petty at the “age of seventeen.” Stevie misheard the phrase as “edge of seventeen”—and immediately knew it had to become a song title.
