Pete Seeger meets Steven Tyler

I'm taking a yoga class at the Old Town School of Folk Music. Tonight, while waiting to twist myself into pigeon and triangle, I heard a disturbingly off-key rendition of Dream On.

While searching the song on YouTube just now, I heard several even worse live versions for 1977. Not sure what was up that year but Steven Tyler was a slurring mess who couldn't carry a tune in all the shows I saw clips from. I couldn't take it any more and skipped the 1973 versions posted and went straight for a more modern, MTV video. Bonus points for a piano that comes flying out of the sky!
