Saw him this summer. He was just shy of 80 years old, played for 2 hours straight. People singing along to all the songs. And there were fans of all ages there. It was great to see.
Saw him back in '92 in Dallas....it was the same thing. People of all ages just love Steve and his band. Great performance and everybody has a great time.
Super talented man
Yeah he plays everything in catalog
I saw him too, with Dave Mason. Bridgeport, CT
@@jonathansmith3742 that’s where I saw the show. Great night. And Dave sounded amazing too.
The power of keyboards on this era of Rock is undeniable! So good.
REAL keyboards, as far as I'm aware of. I love the organ music in these old songs ❤
Man, I love this song. 5 years old with an AM radio tucked under my pillow as I fell asleep. This was my favorite one to listen to at night. Triptastic.
I did the same!!!
listened to this on the radio at midnight new years eve 1980. took me on a ride....
That's a Vibe ...47 years later .
Timeless brilliance .
This is one of those albums that needs a full review. An absolute gem - no filler. Thanks guys. Cheers ✌
I really like Wild Mountain Honey!
Yep
"Feed the babies, who don't have enough to eat.
Shoe the children, with no shoes on their feet.
House the people, living in the street.
Oh, There's a solution."
Steve Miller Band are certified hit makers. Good portion of their catalogue is still regularly played on the radio.
This song has been sampled so, so many times - Tupac, Biggie, Cube, Lil Wayne, Heavy D and many more. The sound elements are amazing. ❤
First to use it was EPMD for ‘You’re A Customer’ back in 1987.
@@monolithic87 Ooh, good one! After I watched this I look it up and it’s been used in 150+songs. I had no idea it was that many! 🔥
Steve Miller's godfather was THE Les Paul. Jazz greats such as Charles Mingus visited his parents' house regularly. He apparently absorbed much greatness from that atmosphere. I somehow had 2 copies of this album. You can skip Abracadabra in future tracks from him, though. Lol.
His godmother was Mary Ford, Steve's father, who was a dentist by trade, was an engineer on many of Les Paul and Mary Ford records, that's why all the greats were always on the house
hey i liked that song :)
Steve had a rock band when he was 12 back in the late 50s. Played fraternities around Dallas area. Biz Scaggs was the guitar player in this band.
You guys should definitely check out “Wild Mountain Honey” by them. It is my favorite song by SMB. It has a super mystical/psychedelic vibe.
I forgot about that song🎵
❤❤
You don't even know about wild mountain honey ;)
One of those songs that needs headphones to fully appreciate the sounds laid down by all the instruments. Nice one guys
Thanks for mentioning the organ. I looked it up. Joachim Young on Hammond B3. His finger speed and pressure of attack on the keys would produce different tonal effects as he played. Those are mechanical strictures (stops on the console above the keys) being applied on the flow of air across the reeds in a chamber that looks something like a wooden kitchen cabinet. It's funny to describe how these musical instruments worked before they were all sampled and digitally reproduced and repurposed.
Hammond B3, my favorite instrument ❤
So powerful, such encompassing sound!
🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🔥💫
Right on, from a fellow traveler. Still an analog kid in a digital world, all these yrs later. 🤘😎
Had this 8-track back in high school in the seventies.
Mike and the mechanics "Can you hear me running"
There's a whole Space Intro to this song too. Definitely a go to when you get high. "House the people livin in the street, oh oh there's a solution"
The first time I smoked weed at 15, my older brother gave me a set of headphones and put this album on, and it begins with the space intro right into Fly Like An Eagle. To say that it blew my mind is an understatement. Especially the end of the song where you feel like you’re flying, and then the series of beeps made you feel like you were in the cockpit of a jet flying fast.
I live in Germany and it’s also a perfect song for driving on the autobahn, which has no speed limit.
@@Mike-rk8px I have an older brother too, so I know exactly where you're coming from. Music was everything back then, and "altered states of consciousness". we obviously made it through, somehow.
Serenade n the window are must listens
Roller by April Wine 🍷
RIP Miles...
Has no one else mentioned Steve Miller's track My Dark Hour? The source of Fly Like An Eagle's introductory riff, with drums, bass, extra guitar and backing vox by Paul McCartney.
Smoothe, weed smokin' greatness, right here. Screams summers at the pool and park to me. Carry me back. ❤
This album and The Joker album are perfect albums to review.
Must hear classics,, The Steve Miller Band "Mercury Blues"",, "The Window" & "Winter Time"..Trust me on these my music lovin' brothers. 🔥
Great lp. Great song. Book Of Dreams, too.
Another brilliant album from 1976. His godfather was electric guitar pioneer Les Paul. There’s a great version of this song on the Les Paul tribute album American Made World Played.
A song that us that grew up with them played this lloud as possible and just went for a grooves ride.
Great song and reaction. So much more reaction! It will take a life time to listen (;🤘😎
Loved Steve Miller since 1968, Living in the USA...its a banger! "Somebody give me a cheeseburger..." 🍔👍🏻
My very first concert 1974....still awesome today
His best song in my opinion.
That 'video game sound' really does resemble the map screen from Ghosts n Gobllins, which hit the arcades almost ten years after this song.
The video game was Space Invaders. 😮
You must play the next tune “Wild Mountain Honey.” As with a lot of 70’s material, the songs often just flow in to each other. This is one of those.
Oh yes, Wild Mountain Honey. My favorite SMB song!
But mostly the mini track before, 'Space Intro' should be played with FLAE.
Great album Jungle Love my favorite
NICE!! Fly Like An Eagle 🦅 was my first concert in 1976. I want to say it was $8.50 and Norton Buffalo opened. Just turned 14! Whew! Doesn't sound that long ago but it feels like it! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎
When I was kid, EVERYONE had this record!
One of the best!
crowd went nuts when he played this at Thunder Valley couple momths ago classic
I saw him in '66 in the Steve Miller Blues Band and in '74 in the Steve Miller Band with Boz Scaggs as the supporting act where they sat in on each other's sets...you really got your money's worth back then and then some...
One of the best albums ever made. The WHOLE album.
Great band!!!!❤❤❤
It's got a funky groove.
When released,, This MUST HEAR Classic track hit BIG & DIFFERENT,, Billy Thorpe "Children Of The Sun" (Exclusive Video)
One of my favorites…….
Steve Miller band had 2 monter Albums in the mid 70's, This one and Book of Dreams.
Crazy good Rock and Roll.
Dance Dance Dance
Wild Mountain Honey
True Fine Love
The Stake
Take The Money and Run
Man when this came out I was hooked....Steve Miller band was awesome I have the original album I bought when it came out
Awesomeness
The sounds at the end is Stevie "Guitar" Miller doing his thing.
So good on so many levels
Check this out this is my ringtone on my phone you gotta see the looks I get all the time people love it❤
the groove of those drums is insane
Gary Mallaber. One of the greatest.
Without a doubt my favorite Steve Miller song. The organ is killing it!
Jet Airliner. One of the best rhythm guitar intros ever.
Thank you for giwing Respect to this Piece of Musik
I remember my older brother buying this album from when I was a kid I was in third grade and loved this song
Man you cats rock . Love tuning in for your show. Welcome to your new music journey. I'm definitely hooked . #ROCKON
I love watching you guys enjoying the music of my youth. First time I heard this on the radio, I was at the store buying this album! Brings back those days!
Great band saw them in the seventies opening for The Eagles!
Probably my favorite song by them is "Swing Town". It takes me way back and might be the first Steve Miller Band song I heard. Enjoy!
AND IT GOES RIGHT INTO ( WILD MOUNTAIN HONEY ) 👍😊
Absolutely awesome organ playing on this song, which gets overlooked so often.
My pops played this often. I remember buying the EPMD Strictly Business album and immediately recognizing the sample of Fly Like an Eagle…🖖🏼
How I loved (and still do) EPMD; “You gots to Chill”, “Strictly Business” “So Whatcha Sayin’🔥
Laa and Chee! Keep rolling out these great songs!
Love Steve Miller, give Serenade, Jungle love, in the winter time, Jet Airliner, abracadabra a go …………. I could go on 😊
That keyboard is killin’ it!❤
Another great one, guys!
It's absolutely badass, of course. As a white boy growing up in the 70's, this song was a radio staple, and I've probably heard it a thousand times. Steve Miller has a TON of cool music!
one of the first records i ever purchased
The old Live version is amazing, never knew those sounds were him on guitar.
Heard this song a million times, never noticed how funky it is...
Ya peace n love
The keyboard adds some real funk to this rock song. This is the same era as Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk, ELP, and many more.
Thanks for a great start to the week. Excellent reaction fellas! Appreciate you 🙏 ❤
Press play on any part of that song and you are guaranteed to hear the bassist and keys going ham.
Top shelf classic rock right here
Steve Miller is an underrated guitar player. His Godfather was the late great guitar player Les Paul.
Excellent reaction. Love this song, this and “Keep on rocking me”.
🦅he has got some classic s👍🏽
Love watching you guys love a song so much! Great reaction!
A classic
Steve Miller Band is a Treasure !!!!!
Loved it thank you!
My favorite song by him is "Your Saving Grace".
Just got goosebumps.. I thought I was the only one.. that song takes me to such a place
I got to see Steve Miller Band and Meatloaf at the Starplex in Dallas Texas..Awesome show...never forget it !!!
I saw him as the opening act for the Grateful Dead.
I totally dig when you two are JAMMING to a track. Funny story. I've only worked one show my whole life. It was Steve Miller. It was his last show of the tour here in Corpus Christi TX. And we told his road manager that John Denver and Sam Kinnison had both had their last shows here.... And well they're both dead. His manager got all bug eyed. "Fookin Bloody 'ell" was his response. LOL
ABRACADABRA 👍😎
Way too much good music from the 70's to even have listened to it all when it was happening🇨🇦🇨🇦
I was at this concert & it was excellent!! 👌 And great album as well.
If you're interested in Steve Miller's roots, check out the song In My First Mind from his debut 1968 album, Children of the Future.
It has a mix of Psychedelic and Blues. ✌️
The keyboard flitting in and out of the song makes this easily one of the trippiest songs of all time. My first time consuming acid in high school, this song mesmerized me as badly as Comfortably Numb did. That keyboard is like a magic carpet that swept me up and showed me around 😂
This Album ( Take the money and run, Rockn Me Baby, and Fly Like an Eagle got played as much as any album in 1976-1978.. literally got played every hour on KTAC am out of Tacoma WA. Lol.. van remember that so well.
WOOOHOOO!!! Another band I've seen 3 times! LOVE STEVE MILLER BAND!! SUPER AWESOME!!
Awesome job guys as always…still waiting for Dialogue Pts 1 and 2 from Chicago
That’s how you play the bass guitar!!
I really like watching your videos and getting a new appreciation for some of this music. I've been hearing it for decades and a lot of the songs, this one included, are staples of classic rock radio. But in a lot of cases I've stopped really hearing these songs and I'm reminded to appreciate the details when I see you hear it for the first time. So, thanks. 🖖🏽
I was listening to Stevie "Guitar" Miller before The Joker before everything blew up. And yes, the production is amazing on this album, second to none, done by John Palladino, and he continues that sound on the next album Book of Dreams, taking it even a bit further. Joachim Young is comping and power chording on the B3 Organ, while Miller is making all those swelling sounds with a synthesizer. People forget that Miller not only plays guitar but also organ, synthesizer, sitar, harmonica, among other instruments. To me, this album is the pinacol of Miller's career. I played the hell out of it back in the day. Great stuff.
❤😊 My uncle gave me this album , my first 8 track ❤
Thanks for waking me up with a stone groove! You guys deliver as always!
Another great San Francisco band! They'll be playing here (AT&T Park) with fellow San Franciscan band, Journey, as well as Def Leppard in late August....
I love the way this song ends, like a transmission from Earth, received in deep space.
Wish you would react to their song " LIVING IN THE USA". Great beats, switch ups and great lyrics.
His pedigree is amazing. In addition to Les Paul being his (actual) godfather - T-Bone Walker helped him learn to play guitar. Many well-known musicians came to his house to record (his father was a sound engineer). He was in bands with Boz Scaggs and worked with many famous blues musicians. He's the real deal.
