"TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN" , "Jet Air Liner", "Fly Like An Eagle", and "Jungle Love". ALL CLASSICS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I actually just posted the SAME songs. Then read this ❤
OH YES! ALL OF THOSE ARE KICK ASS SONGS
Abracadabra for sure.
Love take the money and run
@@motleydigger me too.
He'll love Fly Like An Eagle.
It's a very unique song.
I hope he writes these song titles down and reacts to them
Fun Fact: Les Paul was Steve’s godfather and he taught him to play
And yet, Steve was a Strat guy...
I don't think Steve Miller has ever gotten credit for his guitar playing. He can make that guitar sing!!!
Hence the "picking and grinning"?
@@christymurphy6571 oh he's very well respected amongst his peers!!
Cool...never knew
As a young woman of that era, a "joker", was a good hearted player. You did not put your heart on the line with these boys, because they were all the original free spirit. But they weren't users. They truly loved the women they were with, while they were with them. They really didn't want to hurt no one. You couldn't help but love them. And they were normally too cute for their own good.
My husband was a greaser era " joker ", we met, married and it lasted till he passed in a couple weeks done years ago. Great 🎵🎶 and laughter together.
@@rebeccamead4557 Happy you found yours. He must have been fun.
Known a few 🤦♀️
Best Answer
Well said lady. I appreciate your point of view. I was a free spirit that never had an evil intent in my soul. I guess that was attractive to the ladies that I had an opportunity to know. I never hurt a soul or caused a long- lasting sorrow that I know of. (more the opposite heh).
Abracadabra, Fly Like An Eagle, Take The Money & Run, Rock'n Me FIND THOSE!!! Trust the Smurf always!
Rock’n Me still gets me every single time “Northern California where the girls are warm”….as a NorCal girl, the pride in that lyric :)
dont forget Swingtown
Cannot go wrong with anything by Steve Miller. This is what driving music sounded like in the 70’s
him and Bob Seger , they don't miss, every song hits
Absolutely. Jungle Love is my number one driving on an open road song.
And the 80's for some of us!
My husband is the chief engineer for more than 20 radio stations here in the Shreveport area. One of his stations hosted Steve Miller in concert a few years ago. It was in the summer and an outside event. Steve was a total blast. He played non-stop for almost 4 hours. He was still smooth. It was a really fun concert!
Hard to believe this iconic song is over 50 years old. Our generation was INCREDIBLE!!! Go Steve! 💥
If you lived in the suburbs in the '70s/'80s, you had these albums: Steve Miller Band Greatest Hits 1974-78, Fleetwood Mac - Rumors, Eagles - Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975 and Aerosmith's Greatest Hits (1980)
Boston, Frampton Comes Alive
Its 1973 I jump the fence of my backyard and I land on my elementary school. I notice a ring of teenagers sitting and smoking on the baseball field and I hear "The Joker" for the first time in my life. The kids are all smoking and having a good time listening to music, specifically this song. Little did I know how much I would end up loving "Steve Miller's music and especially this song. My mind immediately goes back to that time every time I hear this song. Truly a classic song of that era and any era.
Fly Like An Eagle, Take The Money and Run, Rock n Me, Jet Airliner
Research his blues background. His mother was a music teacher and his father also was into music and had a recording studio in their basement. Many old blues artists would Vista there regularly.
Steve Miller Band is that band everyone has no idea they have heard about. You cannot go through modern pop culture without hearing this band!
🔥🔥🔥
Abracadabra is one of my favorites
Yeah, Steve Miller Band one of the greatest groups from my College Days. A definite rabbit hole to go down!
They're actually from the 60s 😊
@@USxGraboidxMCSure, their first album might have been released in ‘68 but their best days and greatest hits were from ‘74-‘78. So not really a 60’s band or 80’s band, but a 70’s band 🤪
This was released in 1973, not the '80's.
@@USxGraboidxMC You're absolutely correct... I guess I'm just referring to the years I most listened to them, which was when I was in college 😉
Hey Buddy 70's the whole decade.
This song was absolutely played everywhere and all the time in the 1970's.
Steve Miller is the singer, he has written a lot of good tunes, abracadabra is a good one, fly like an eagle is another one!! Love Steve Miller band!
This is Steve Miller's anthem, the crowd always goes nuts!
Love this song! Steve Miller Band has a lot of great songs! U really cant go wrong with any song off of their greatest hits album, but Rock n me, Dance dance dance, Swingtown, and Wild mountain honey are a few of my favs!
Rock n me , is 100% forever playlist , so is The things we do for love by 10cc
Because , my still best friend and I Had a conversation of a sleep over at 9 ish And her favorite song was rock n me and mine was the things we do for love .
It’s still comes straight to me head and back to that weekend everytime I hear either of them !
I have noticed time traveling with music is a lifelong thing I’ve been doing my entire life .
The word "pompitous" or "pompatus" stems from Steve Millers mishearing of the phrase "puppetutes of love" in the 1954, Vernon Green song "The Letter" in which he used the words "puppetutes of love"... his combination of "puppets" and "prostitutes". A puppetute being a woman of your fantasies who would do.
Wolfman Jack used the phrase in his guest appearance with The Guess Who on Clap For The Wolfman, which I believe is from the same year (1974) as The Joker, or pretty close.
Jet Airliner, Fly Like An Eagle, Keep On Rockin Me Baby.
Steve Miller Band has a lot of hits, enjoy the ride
I happen to be a bass player and I just noticed that the bass players playing left-handed on a right handed guitar. I may have to try that.
Funny story, I remeber hearing this song growing up. My 2 brothers and their friends would play it while they were "toking" in the back room of my mom and dad's house 40 years ago. Love this song. Sadly I lost my eldest brother in 1984.
That tucker is soul, depth, poetry. They built them different back then. More confident and creative
I'm 55 y/o and today is the first time I've clapped eyes on Steve Miller even though I grew up listening to his music. Rock on, Kelly 🤘
Fly Like An Eagle
Jet Air Liner
Jungle Love
All are great tunes!!
One of the GREATEST BANDS EVER!!
This great song from 1973 actually hit number one in the UK in 1990 due to its inclusion in a Levi's jeans commercial. Other classic Steve Miller band songs worth listening to include "Jet Air Liner", "Fly Like An Eagle", and "Jungle Love".
I was 10 when this came out in ‘73! I remember hearing it with my friends and giggling about the peaches line! 🤭 Abracadabra is a great song but one of my favorites is Take the Money and Run! More SMB please!❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
Mooooore Steve Miller! ❤️ Take me the Money and Run! 🤘🏼
This was my brother's mantra. He passed 10 years ago and we played it at his memorial service. My daughter and him used to sing it at random. Great memories!
I have this album! I still play my albums on Saturday afternoons, my great grandchildren get involved and then it gets really fun! However they treat Grandma's albums with the respect that they deserve and a good time is had all the way around!
Blues Travlers, Hook.... a must for you for sure... you will love the song.
That's a great song!
@@markvickers2411 yeah, would love his reaction to the song
The bassist is playing a right-handed bass lefty, or upside down! Nice!
And sounded sooooo goooood!!
The bass line in this song is 🔥🔥🔥
Just as Jimi Hendrix learned to play and continued playing left handed on a right handed guitar
@@bobking9158 Indeed he did!
Fly like an eagle is a good one also
That whole album is excellent
Fly like an eagle…
I guarantee you go into any bar in the South before night is over you will hear this !!
Steve Miller Band was a vibe. Everything is cool and chill and fun.
One of the best songs, one of the best bands. Smooth as silk, sharp as a knife. Music to listen to while sitting in a bean bag chair, just a little messed up and real relaxed.
I love how the great bands of our times were blended. Music is the language of loving one another.
Another Fun Fact: Steve MIller and Boz Scaggs went to high school together and started a band together. Boz was in the Steve Miller Band in the late '60's. Definitely check out Abracadabra, Jet Airliner and Fly LIke An Eagle. I am going to remind you of my suggestion to check out the Jeff Beck Group Album ('72) and the songs: "Ice Cream Cakes" and "Sugar Cane." Jeff Beck was a brilliant guitarist, from the UK, and passed away last year. Thank you for your consideration.
Such a great song "I'm a joker, I'm a smoker I'm a midnight toker"
Such a deep rabbit hole to go down with the Steve Miller Band. Highly recommend Take the Money and Run, Jungle Love, Swing Town; they are three of my favourites, but there are so many. Great reaction and keep the SMB reactions coming.
Steve Miller is probably the greatest musician, that everyone could sing his songs, but could not be picked out of a lineup.
that guitar work is just amazing .
I was 19 yrs old when this song came out. I believe it hit high fast in the charts even back then.
Their greatest hits album is the greatest compilation of songs, ever.
70s my dsister liked country, i liked Rock..this is the Band we both enjoyed together..and45 years later we both went to their concert and got to relive our youth❤❤
I've been lucky enough to see these guys five times in my life and I thought they were amazing because in the same tour they would play huge venues and then much smaller ones. Just cuz they would go where their fans were and not have to make them travel hours. They really put on great shows for their fans. One of the best I've seen live for sure.
Keep on rocking me baby.
Steve Miller "Book of Dreams" along with Billy Joel "The Stranger", Meatloaf "Bat Out of Hell", Fleetwood Mac "Rumors", Steely Dan "Asa", Boston "Boston" and Chuck Mangione " Feels So Good" were some of the albums I ordered from Columbia House back when you got 13 albums for a penny. I don't recall the others that I ordered, but 13 were in the box when it was delivered. Thinking back, I don't think I fulfilled my contract to purchase an album each month for a year at full cost... I wonder if any teenager did. I should probably send them a check...
When I was in 8th grade my gym teacher would play Steve Miller's greatest hits while we played " bombardment". I don't think you're allowed to play bombardment" in gym class anymore. Bombardment = dodgeball
Yes, we called it bombardment in 7th grade. 1970.
I love dodgeball but...
Man it sure hurt when you got belted in the head with it.
It would take your breath away and your whole head would be stinging. It would almost put your body in a slight paralysis...it would take a little while to shake away the shock to your body
It is one of the all time greatest songs in rock history. Steve Miller meet and played with many of the best old blues guitarists. Steve Miller is a true icon….. His songs were on the radio regularly throughout the 80’s. “Take the money and run" "Fly like an Eagle" "Jet Airliner" were some big hits plus many others. It was my son who is 39yo first concert that I took him to.
***TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN*** There is a Tommy Lee Jones movie called the same and song tells the story of some kids that....no spoilers...hahahahah CHECK IT OUT!
Tommy Lee Jones is my cousin.
@@minigirl6839Y'all watch Will Smith's "Six Degrees Of Seperation" hahaha there is a theory that in any group of people there are six other people that link you to everyone else....tell Tommy Lee we need another MIB movie!
I saw them 5 times.... great times!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE THIS SONG!Its just as good as it was in the 70’s!
Living in the USA, jungle love, fly like an eagle, take the money and run. Big old jet airline.
Steve Miller Band: Fly like an Eagle. Another all-time great.
Listened to the greatest hits a million times. Have never seen what the band looked like. Complete college summer music and it has transcended time. Tons of hits and many videos for you to do. I bet your viewer age on any Steve Miller song goes from 17-80.
It is a great song. Timeless. I remember us teenagers cruising through town at night playing this loud.
Steve miller!! One of the greatest guitarists ever!!
Steve Millers greatest hit Volume 2. Amazing!!!
This is one song that never will get old!!
This is what we were listening to in 1972. He's still touring today. He'll be in North Charleston SC next month.
He also had all the blues greats at his house growing up
Steve Miller had so many hits!
50 years later it's still a great song!
Oh how this takes me back to the 70's and 80's. Having field parties out in the farmlands or up in the cleared out spaces in the woods. Always on property we had permission to be on. Parties would last all weekend. We would pitch tents, drink keg beer and just have a great time. This song always got played at a field party.
***ABRACADABRA*** Find that!
This song is just pure sunshine.. can you see yourself cruising in a soft top with this playing…that guitar is the sea brushing on the sand ….
No can do is ace.. just off to see your faithfully reaction
FLY LIKE AN EAGLE…. Great follow up to this song.
Wow, this song was a favourite of mine when I was a kid in the 70's, and I had totally forgotten it. BP's delve into music has rekindled my desire to journey back to that era
Finally a Steve Miller Band.
I grew up on Steve Miller & Bob Seger. Great time to be a teen
One of my favorites from Steve Miller is Enter Maurice. It shows a whole other side of love
***ROCK'N ME***
Their greatest hits album is one of my favorites.
This album is the BEST cruising album ever. Spent many a day in the 70's listening to this as we cruised around...Get into a car and pop this in, I bet you get a speeding ticket!! 😁
Trippen out in the early 80's to this! :)_
I remember exactly where I was when I heard this song for the first time. It was 1993, I got my first job at an amusement park in Tulsa Oklahoma called Bell’s Amusement park. I worked concessions and there was this ride called the Himalaya and the owner of the park only played 70s and 80s rock music. I was instantly obsessed and I rock Steve Miller Band still to this day!
He was one of the great Southern Rock artist.
Definitely one of the all time greatest songs!!!
1974! I wore out my step dad’s CD of them in the 90’s!!!
The first time i heard Steve Miller was when my brother bought tha record (yes im that old) Fly Like an Eagle. I have been a fan forever and got see him live a few years ago and was not disappointed. One of my favs is Dance, Dance, Dance.
LEGENDARY BAND I LOVE ALL THEIR TUNES MUSIC 🎶 🎵 GREAT PIC !!!
I always loved Steve Miller Band the first time I heard ‘Fly Like and Eagle’ so when I got a chance to see him in concert in 1988. He didn’t put on very good show. I am still glad I went.
I've had the pleasure of seeing live a few times later in his career, and man, he's just so good.
They are such an underrated band. Could honestly play their CD from cover to cover and it was all good. I would love to see a movie about this band because so many of the songs are so different I would love to see how they come about.
Have to listen his “Space Cowboy” and “Gangster of Love” to get the opening of Joker. Preferably a live Gangster!! Great reaction.
Lots left in the Steve Miller rabbit hole...you've just scratched the surface.
Loved this in high school! One of my favorite groups at the time.
You are in for a ride with the Steve Miller band rabbit hole. Get at it. Banger after banger after banger!
The one and only time I ever skipped school and got caught, this is the 8 track we listened to ALL DAY LONG. Steve Miller Band,Greatest Hots.The best of times. I just didn't know it.
He made that word up!
Saw Steve several times. Most often when he opened on tour for his Bay Rea buddies the Grateful Dead. Great times.
All these years I sang along as... "properties" of love!
A song I always go back to is Fly like an eagle.
Luv Luv Luv!!! Yep this is just a great ALL time song luvd it as a kid luv it to this day ha YAY
Love Steve Miller Band... he's touring now with Def Leppard and Journey.
Steve Miller got me thinking of my days growing up listening to him at the roller rink !! Oh yeah ,, The Steve Miller Band and I can hear it blowing out the radio speakers 🔊 out .,, and singing along .
Do , do , do do do ,, Living in the U.S.A ,, check it out . 🎶
