Classics Live
Classics Live! is drawn from concerts in 1978 and 1984. Some of the recordings feature guitarists Jimmy Crespo and Rick Dufay, who had replaced Joe Perry and Brad Whitford respectively. Different versions of most of its songs had been released on Live! Bootleg in 1978. Venues and dates are not listed on the sleeve; instead, it states, "These songs were recorded at various concerts between 1977 and 1983." Which of the four guitarists play on which tracks is not noted.
The studio track "Major Barbra" was recorded for, but left off, the album Get Your Wings. An alternate version appears on the compilation Pandora's Box.
Track listing
All songs recorded at the Orpheum Theatre, Boston, Massachusetts, February 14, 1984, except where noted.
