Classics Live
and
Classics Live II
are a set of albums
by American
rock band
released in 1986
and 1987,
respectively.
Together,
they constitute the band's
second live offering,
after Live! Bootleg.
Classics Live I
has gone platinum
while
Classics Live II
has gone gold.

Classics Live!
is made up of
concert recordings
from 1978 and 1984.
Some of the recordings
include guitarists
Jimmy Crespo
and
Rick Dufay,
who had
temporarily replaced
Joe Perry
and
Brad Whitford
respectively.
Different live versions
of most of these songs
had already been released
on
Live! Bootleg
in 1978.
Venues and dates
are not listed
on the sleeve,
and there is only
the all-encompassing
and vague statement
"These songs were
recorded at various concerts
between
1977 and 1983."
It is not listed
which of the four guitarists
played on which tracks.
The studio track
"Major Barbra"
was originally recorded
for the album
Get Your Wings
but remained
unreleased.
An alternate version
is available on
the compilation
Pandora's Box.

Classics Live! II
mainly features tracks
recorded at
a New Year's Eve show
in 1984,
with all five
original members
once again reunited.
The other two tracks
were the first track
of 1985's
Done with Mirrors,
"Let the Music Do the Talking",
and a rendition of 1977's
"Draw the Line"
from California Jam II.
