A Little South of Sanity is a live album by American hard rock bandAerosmith, released on October 20, 1998 by Geffen Records. The two-disc album featured recordings taken while the band was on the Nine Lives Tour, which began in 1997 and was still ongoing at the time of the live album release, and the Get a Grip Tour, which the band was on in 1993 and 1994. This album was the only Aerosmith album to receive the Parental Advisory sticker, primarily due to lead singer Steven Tyler shouting profanities in between songs and modifying some song lyrics to racier ones, although some other song lyrics had profanity in their original studio versions as well. The release of the album enabled Aerosmith to complete their contract with Geffen Records that helped lead to their newfound success in the 1980s and early 1990s. Shortly after the band reunited in 1984, they signed a contract to generate six albums for Geffen. Seven years later, they signed with Columbia Records after only having produced three albums for Geffen. Aerosmith would add one studio album and a compilation album before their departure with a live album, presumably this one, still in the works. On the seal, the album title is misnamed as A Little South of Insanity. There are no listings to support where or when each performance was culled from - only the listing that all tracks are from either the Get A Grip or Nine Lives World Tours. However, the recordings of "Love In an Elevator", "Same Old Song and Dance", and " Sweet Emotion" each have Tyler calling out to the live crowd; the first song has him mentioning the crowd in State College, Pennsylvania, the second a crowd in West Palm Beach, Florida, and the third a crowd in Seattle, Washington. A bootleg called Yokohama Arena 3/12/98 has "Last Child" being recorded at the same time as the title revealed to where the song was performed, also, Tyler says, "Motherfucker" out loud as if it were edited in this live album. Eat the Rich is recorded from Costa Rica in November, 1994. At the beginning of disc 2, before starting "Back in the Saddle", Tyler shouts, "I've got blisters on my sisters!", referencing a similar thing Ringo Starr shouted at the end of The Beatles song "Helter Skelter".
