Aerosmith - Dream On

"Dream On" is a rock song by Aerosmith from their 1973 debut album, Aerosmith. Written by lead singer Steven Tyler, this power ballad became their first major hit. Although it peaked at #59 when it was originally released as a single in 1973, it became a Top 10 single in 1976, when it was re-released as a single. This song was first played live in Willimantic, CT at the Shaboo Inn.

The song is a piano ballad in the key of F minor. Long a concert staple, the song's piano part has been played live by Tyler. The band has also played "Dream On" with an orchestra on a couple occasions. In the early 1990s, the band performed the song live with an orchestra for MTV's 10th Anniversary. On September 19, 2006 Aerosmith dedicated the song to captured Israeli soldier Ehud Goldwasser. Additionally, in 2006, Steven Tyler and Joe Perry performed the song live with the Boston Pops Orchestra at their Fourth of July spectacular.
