Notes:

- From a local review: "Weighty pretentiousness mixed it up with good-time rock and roll at Veterans Memorial Sunday night when King Crimson met Aerosmith. Depending on your preferences, it was a toss-up as to who won. Aerosmith, a Boston-based rockety-rollin' organization that keeps getting better and better all the time, is probably the most English-mannered of all the American boogie bands. Lead singer Steve Tyler's penchant for aping Mick Jagger has almost become a caricature of movement and physical appearance from the glitter clothes, haircut, wide mouth, and stance — with one difference. Tyler's voice has the cutting edge of a saw-tooth shark. Strong and gritty, he comes across as androgynous as Jagger but more masculine by the power of his iron-edged voice. The music is heavy and full bore, sparing no horses. In fact, since their last appearance in Columbus six months ago, the young lads from Bean Town and points south have gotten it even more together as a cohesive performance unit supported by strong material" (Columbus Dispatch, 4/29/1974).
