That's a Vibe ...47 years later . Timeless brilliance .

The power of keyboards on this era of Rock is undeniable! So good.

Steve Miller is definitely an accomplished Rock artist, I grew up listening to his music, saw him live at Red Rocks way back in the day…

Steve Miller Band are certified hit makers. Good portion of their catalogue is still regularly played on the radio.

Smoothe, weed smokin' greatness, right here. Screams summers at the pool and park to me. Carry me back. ❤

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.

One of those songs that needs headphones to fully appreciate the sounds laid down by all the instruments. Nice one guys

Stevie "Guitar" Miller... He and Boz Scaggs were classmates at St. Mark's in our hometown of Dallas, TX... Steve's godfather was Les Paul... Great player and recording artist. Very innovative in the studio.

Serenade n the window are must listens

Had this 8-track back in high school in the seventies.

💯😊ANOTHERRR FANTASTIC ( 76 ) BICENTENNIAL ALBUM GUYS! 👍

When I travelled around Europe I always listen to this song!

Must hear classics,, The Steve Miller Band "Mercury Blues"",, "The Window" & "Winter Time"..Trust me on these my music lovin' brothers. 🔥

I love this song.

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!

This song was Huge back in the day it was everywhere.

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.

Love Steve Miller, give Serenade, Jungle love, in the winter time, Jet Airliner, abracadabra a go …………. I could go on 😊

My very first concert 1974....still awesome today

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. ✌️

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.

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 🕊️☮️♾️😎

ABRACADABRA 👍😎

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great album Jungle Love my favorite

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

One of my favorites…….

Great lp. Great song. Book Of Dreams, too.

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

Awesomeness

Jet Airliner. One of the best rhythm guitar intros ever.

This album and The Joker album are perfect albums to review.

Without a doubt my favorite Steve Miller song. The organ is killing it!

A song that us that grew up with them played this lloud as possible and just went for a grooves ride.

Wish you would react to their song " LIVING IN THE USA". Great beats, switch ups and great lyrics.

When released,, This MUST HEAR Classic track hit BIG & DIFFERENT,, Billy Thorpe "Children Of The Sun" (Exclusive Video)

The sounds at the end is Stevie "Guitar" Miller doing his thing.

Great band!!!!❤❤❤

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.

But mostly the mini track before, 'Space Intro' should be played with FLAE.

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.

He taught Boz Scaggs to play guitar, and Les Paul taught him. And that is why we called him Stevie "Guitar" Miller. Try more music by Steve Miller, you won't be disappointed. Like Tupelo Honey.

Loved Steve Miller since 1968, Living in the USA...its a banger! "Somebody give me a cheeseburger..." 🍔👍🏻

So good on so many levels

A group you may not have done, featuring Paul Rogers,(Bad Company )vocals and Jimmy Page, (Led Zeppelin)guitar, ...The Firm -"Satisfaction Guaranteed" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The video game was Space Invaders. 😮

That 'video game sound' really does resemble the map screen from Ghosts n Gobllins, which hit the arcades almost ten years after this song.

Press play on any part of that song and you are guaranteed to hear the bassist and keys going ham.

AND IT GOES RIGHT INTO ( WILD MOUNTAIN HONEY ) 👍😊

Thank you for giwing Respect to this Piece of Musik

Check this out this is my ringtone on my phone you gotta see the looks I get all the time people love it❤

Literally no one cared about this song until it was sampled for Vanilla Ice's "Rollin' in My 5.0" in 1991. Now it is considered a classic. Thanks Ice Man. *Disclaimer: certain elements of this post may have been exaggerated for dramatic effect.

One of the best albums ever made. The WHOLE album.

It's got a funky groove.

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...

This is from a 1976 recording of the same name. In the '70s, Miller entered his low-risk, most-lucrative period. The songs were well-written and well-produced, but his best work was in the previous decade when he was adventurous and experimental. I highly recommend Children of the Future, Sailor and Brave New World.

This was in Space Jam, but it was covered by Seal. He did a great job but this original is IT.. Stever Miller Band had a bunch of hits, they were on the radio all the time in the 70s. Jet Airliner, The Joker, Take the Money and Run, Abracadabra, Space Cowboy, Rock'n Me etc.

His best song in my opinion.

Man when this came out I was hooked....Steve Miller band was awesome I have the original album I bought when it came out

Mike and the mechanics "Can you hear me running"

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....

Absolutely awesome organ playing on this song, which gets overlooked so often.

Laa and Chee! Keep rolling out these great songs!

Man you cats rock . Love tuning in for your show. Welcome to your new music journey. I'm definitely hooked . #ROCKON

Man, wish you guys heard the version with the Space intro, it's fire.

crowd went nuts when he played this at Thunder Valley couple momths ago classic

This album 👍

That keyboard is killin’ it!❤

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!

I remember my older brother buying this album from when I was a kid I was in third grade and loved this song

Is this your first SMB??? PLEASE don't let it be your last! Such a FUN group. Saw them back in the day. Norton Buffalo (RIP) Stampede was their backup group and he played with them on a few tunes. All are amazing...Keep diving into Steve Miller. You won't be disappointed. ( Check out the VIDEO of Norton Buffalo and Roy Rogers doing "AIN'T NO BREAD IN THE BREADBOX". You are welcome. 😊)

That’s how you play the bass guitar!!

This album from 1976 and the 1977 follow up, Book of Dreams were both entirely recorded in the same sessions. To give you and udea of how productive those sessions were, his legendary Greatest Hits 1974-1978 album has 14 tracks. The Joker from 1973. The other 13 are from these two albums (or edited down single versions, at least). In college, there was one party house not run by a fraternity. It was called The Shack, and zsteve's HreTest Hits slbum was The Shack soundtrack. At some point every party, that album was going to play in full, and every song on it is a party.

Steve Miller Band is a deep dive of good music. You guys have done a few of thier songs, but there is a bunch more good stuff here. Next one could be Jet Airliner...or Rock'n Me

Have always loved this song but No Solution yet and I'm in the future now😮scary!!

Ya peace n love

Excellent reaction. Love this song, this and “Keep on rocking me”.

The guitar Miller is holding in this picture is one of Jimi Hendrix's left-handed models he acquired somewhere. I heard it was the one played at Monterrey Pop (that didn't get burned, of course).

Love watching you guys love a song so much! Great reaction!

A classic

This came out during my junior year in college. Every dorm room would be blasting it, and later, the follow-up, Book of Dreams. Add Frampton Comes Alive and you've got 1976 summed up.

Heard this song a million times, never noticed how funky it is...

Thanks for a great start to the week. Excellent reaction fellas! Appreciate you 🙏 ❤
