This is the band’s first live video release in 9 years, since the release of ‘You Gotta Move’ in 2004 and it offers an unique portrayal of life on the road with Aerosmith combined with superb live performances as the band toured Japan. ‘Rock For The Rising Sun’ features the classic tracks: ‘Love In An Elevator’, ‘Livin’ On The Edge’, ‘Last Child’, ‘Walk This Way’, ‘Draw The Line’, ‘Sweet Emotion’, ‘Hangman Jury’ and many more, with material drawn from shows throughout this tour. As bonuses we include extra live tracks, ‘Lick And A Promise’ recorded at the Hiroshima Green Garden Arena and ‘One Way Street’ taken from the Tokyo Dome.
In March 2011 Japan was beset by a huge earthquake, a monstrous tsunami and the subsequent meltdown of the Fukushimanuclear plant. In the autumn of 2011, despite advice to the contrary, Aerosmith brought their ‘Back On The Road’ tour to Japan, a country with which they’d always had a special relationship. The Japanese fans came out in their droves and Aerosmith responded with some of the finest gigs of their distinguished career. This film follows the band on that tour combining full length live tracks with behind the scenes footage which is at times touching and emotional and at others humorous and insightful. More than anything else it demonstrates the Japanese fans’ love affair with Aerosmith and their music.
