Music, Pianos and Other Instruments

September 9, 2009 is the day that Beatles fans have been waiting for. That is the day that The Beatles two mono and stereo box sets and Beatles Rock Band are finally in stores. Beatles fans like me have already ordered all this awesome “Beatles gear” online and are simply waiting for 9/9/9 to come around so it can be shipped to our homes!

#1 The Beatles Remastered Stereo Box Set

This stereo box set includes every song The Beatles released from 1962 through 1970 in remastered stereo sound.

The Beatles music will be heard in greater detail and clarity with these new remastered versions. The CDs should sound significantly better than the 1987 CDs which have been The Beatles standard for 22 years now.

#2 The Beatles Remastered Mono Box Set

The first 10 Beatles albums are included in their original mono mix. These original mono mixes haven’t been put on CD until now. These mono mixes are thought to be the “real” versions of The Beatles songs by many Beatles purists because these were the mixes that the band worked most hard on in the 1960s.

Incredibly, the mono mix of The White Album has never been officially released in the US. Not even on vinyl or cassette tape! Why? This is because when The White Album was released in 1968 mono mixes were no longer a part of the US music scene, meanwhile both the stereo mix and the mono mix were released in the UK.

#3 The Beatles Rock Band Game

Rock Band is the greatest music related video game and The Beatles Rock Band will be the ultimate version of this game. The game includes 45 Beatles songs to be sung and played. Complete Beatles albums will be available to be downloaded and played on Beatles Rock Band. 1969’s Abbey Road will be the very first Beatles album available for download.

The Beatles Rock Band will be the first version of the game that includes harmony singing. Three different players can sing at one time which lets your friends and you really sing the harmonies of the greatest band of all time.

Aerosmith Dream On was the first single ever created by the group. It was featured on their 1973 debut album, Aerosmith. Steven Tyler wrote the song which was heavily influenced by the blues.

Aerosmith Dream On was the first major hit for the group. It only reached number 59 when it was originally released as singles. But in 1976 it made it all the way up to number six during its re-release. The first live performance of this song took place at a tiny inn. Aerosmith Dream On was later released by the group in eight compilations, as well as on two boxed sets.

Aerosmith Dream On was named one of the 500 songs that shaped rock. Rolling Stone had it 172 out of 500 of the top songs ever made. Two other Aerosmith songs, Sweet Emotion and Walk This Way, are tied for this song in the minds of fans as Aerosmith’s signature song.

Many times songs, such as Aerosmith Dream On, are sampled for other music. That means short portions of the song appear in some way. It was featured as a sample as part of the 2002 album Eminem Show. Aerosmith’s lead vocalist played the guitar solo on the tracks. It was also sampled by lesser known artists. These include Andru Donalds, and a rapper named Slim Thug.

There is a myth that the band Led Zeppelin actually wrote the song. It’s just a hoax. Some Buick commercials use the song. Dream up is the slogan in the commercials. Disney has used the song in some movies.

Aerosmith Dream On can be heard in video games. It appeared in the opening cut scene of Dead or Alive Ultimate. There is also a video game called Guitar Hero Aerosmith. The game features a brand new recording. People could also download Aerosmith Dream On for the game Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. Its appearance in that game was to promote the new game.

Not only has Aerosmith Dream On been featured in many live concerts, but it has also been performed with full orchestras. In the 1990s this was done for MTV’s 10th anniversary. And in 2006 members of Aerosmith performed it with the Boston Pops. They have sometimes dedicated the song to deceased fans or fallen soldiers.

It’s not only a piece of rock ‘n roll history, Aerosmith Dream On is a piece of American history.
