Aerosmith perform their first single, “Dream On” on American Bandstand. Guitarist Joe Perry would later say that he didn’t particularly like the song, but knew the band needed to record a ballad if they wanted to get radio play.
(I couldn’t locate the 1973 AB footage, the video is also from 1973 but is an unrelated location)

Great song. Only went to US#59 in 1973 (except in Boston), but the 1976 release made US#6. 2018: Grammy Hall of Fame. Tyler wrote the lyrics when he was 14. Feels a lot like the mid-60s.
