I lost my innocence to this man’s music ( Jungle love ) to be exact at the all night drive in and I’m almost 61 years old now and I’ll never forget it . I loved all of his music then and still listen to it to this day and always will . Thank you for the memories Sir you’re a legend !

I remember listening to Steve Miller Band in my old RoadRunner great times great music

[@Rita-yw2tn]

@@bradboe1901 my boyfriend had a white roadrunner and he loved that car ! And you’re right the music was the best back then ! I love listening to that music because it brings back so many good memories and sometimes it makes me cry but in a good way because it takes me back in time to good old days .

“The Joker” will always be classic !

Steve is so cool.

Thank you for rethinking "Abracadabra". Awesome catchy tune!

I really enjoyed this interview with Steve Miller as he has been one of my favorite musicians for a long time. It is always interesting to hear how musicians like Steve, create songs and the stories behind them!👍

I AM an astronaut, but Steve IS The Space Cowboy! I love anything from him, but FLAE & BOD's are my favorite albums. Serenade, Mercury Blues, True Fine Love, Jungle Love, The Stake, Sacrifice- great stuff to listen to in zero gravity. Damn...I wish I'd had Les Paul as a guitar teacher! Love you Steve. On the back of the FLAE album, Steve's profile looks like a young Ed Van Halen, doesn't it?? Too funny.

[@sandyhanson6082]

I absolutely love Steve Miller!

[@andree.b4723]

Imagine hearing Abracadabra on Nylon strings and seeing Diana on ski's!

[@wallsmartsme]

Perhaps the musician that blew me away in concert! I what do I want to Tinley Park concert venue south of route 80 I believe and I'll never forget that traffic for the concert was like a lot of traffic

[@michaelbirke6050]

Saw him in concert. One of the best shows I ever attended.

[@danieldietrich9969]

I always thought the Space Cowboy thing was a reference to the song Space Cowboy, off their third album Brave New World.

[@guglielmo64]

Legend!

[@andree.b4723]

Book of dreams man! Love you and love you for loving Les!

[@idiotburns]

He has some of the 3:15 best long intros

[@rockmusichistorylesson7401]

Great artist and guitarist!

[@matthewmcintosh5612]

Last of the Great American songwriters.

[@rickyrydell]

Steve is wearing his Ron DeSantis boots!

3 years and 15 minutes to write a song 😉
