Two of the band's last albums re-following. Aerosmith's next album, Rocks, went platinum swiftly and featured deuce FM hits, "Back in the Saddle" and "Last Child".

A next album, Draw the Line, wwhen not as successful, though the title track proved to exist as the minor hit (& is however a survive staple). When continuing to tour & record into a late 1970s, Aerosmith acted in the film version of ''Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, covering the Beatles hit "Come Together." As their popularity waned and drug abuse began affecting their output, Joe Perry left the band during the recording of their sixth studio album Night in the Ruts in 1979 and formed The Joe Perry Project. Perry was replaced foremost by longtime b& friend and ballad maker Richie Supa and then by guitarist Jimmy Crespo (formerly of the band Flame) who recorded the remainder of the album.

We all started laughin'—it was like the five years had never passed. We knew we'd made the right move."

Aerosmith start up the remunerative reunion tour entitled "Back in the Saddle", which produced a survive album Classics Live II.
