This is just one of the greatest songs to sing way loud.

40 years later this song is still cool.

Look at all the young people in the audience. They weren't even born when this song came out. But they seem to know the words and love the jam. Awsome.

It is so fantastic seeing all these people in the audience still kicking on this song. After so many years, it still rocks me of my socks. This band is unbelievable.

Steve Miller told the story of the song in a intervieuw with Mojo november 2012: I got this funny, lazy, sexy little tune, he recalled, but it didn't come together until a party in Novato, north of San Francisco. I sat on the hood of a car under the stars with an acoustic guitar making up lyrics and I'm a joker, I'm a smoker, I'm a midnight toker came out. My chorus! the some people called me the space cowboy and the gangster of love referred to earlier songs of mine and so did Maurice and te pompatus of love. You don't have to use the words. It was just a goof.

That is a nice story to go with a great song, thanks for sharing Jos.

It's amazing how much control Steve has. Not going overboard in anything he uses for his music. They are all done just in the right perfection, the right balance. Also I've admired his guitar playing, especially his slide playing (which is tremendous, thank his teacher Les Paul). When talking about talking about classic rock, Steve has every right to be mentioned. Very noted for his innovation especially back then. Special effects that come out and new things, he masters them well.

This song is an Antidepresive therapy :)

Such an epic bass groove, yet everything sound better about this band live

It's actually awesome to see a younger crowd there too! Timeless music, Rock and Roll!

These are some seasoned musicians. In the very best way. They’re TIGHT and they all rock HARD.

September 15, 1990 - The Steve Miller Band had a UK No.1 with “The Joker” 16 years after it's first release. The song topped the US Billboard Hot 100 in early 1974. More than 16 years later, it reached No.1 in the UK Singles Chart after being used in "Great Deal", a Hugh Johnson-directed television advertisement for Levi's, thus holding the record for the longest gap between transatlantic chart-toppers.

I saw the great Steve Miller Band in 1982 at the Concord Pavillion in Northern California. It was such an incredible show. He is one of the greatest rock n rollers ever. This concert was from 2007. He is amazing. Try reacting to a Live Version of Jet Airliner

I am 73 and this is a Classic of my time!!

Still love this song. Loved it in the 70's love it now.

I love the fact that when I look at that audience we have everything from old to young, from men to women. Seems like they really manage to appeal to all kinds of people.

I've listened to this Version so many times while high that I like it more than the original! Keep on rocking Steve miller!!!!

New generation here and loving this song!!

Impressive all these years on, they still got it!

Saw The Steve Miller Band last night in Vancouver, BC at the PNE. He's 72 years old now and you wouldn't have known it by his energy levels. Fantastic show! He's deservedly in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame - although he doesn't have much respect for it.

Yah, I was there too, with my sons. I was about 9 years old when I heard the Joker and it was great for all of us to hear it live from the man himself. Kids are so spoiled (but they did have a great time).

Fly Like An Eagle was our class song of '77.

The only space cowboy in music! Love Steve Miller Band for 30 years! Keep on rockin me baby!

So friendly and so funky after all these years Steve. You are a credit to American music and I say this as an old Brit who has always admired you and your band since the 1970s when I was a kid.

LOVE This song!!!!!!! You guy's rock!!!!! loving it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

30 years ago I picked up my fist car, gun metal 2lt Capri. And as I drove it away this song came on the radio. Felt like the King of world! Think I might just have this played at my funeral

Fantastic Concert in Chicago ❤🎶🎸🎶 A lot of thanks lovley Steve with Band .👏👏👏🇺🇲

Im 60yo now and i had Steve Miller.....''yes vinyl record',' when i was in my late teens, and his music still cooks today.

Man, this person is such a fine human being, he seems so nice, humble, down to earth and yet an big American music Icon, really cool ! I really 'dig him'

gordy knutdson's opening fill makes me happy!So simple and so good!

This song was playing when I was in JHS. A classmate always sang this song totally off pitch but we all loved it. It was "his" song. Sadly he was killed in a car accident that year but he lives in my fond memories when I hear this song. Thank you~

this man will forever be a badass

This song was so ahead of its time ..great Song💯

This is and several other Steve Miller Band tunes are in rotation with my rap and and R&B running music. LOVE the Steve Miller Band. Keep on a rockin' .... rockin' me baby :-D

Love Steve miller band lot´s of hot chillums is smoked to this wonderful music i have been a big fan since your first album THANX from Copenhagen Denmark !!!

One of my all time favorite songs, named my podcast the Midnight Toker after it :)

Sorry Ledger you were great but Steve Miller is the real Joker

Steve Miller can sure sing and what a handsome dude he is!

Steve Miller ROCKS!!! This may sound strange but I LOVE it that he does not have a crazy light show. I have light sensitive epilepsy and I prefer to see a show like this where I don’t have to cover my eyes while I’m there. And, I LOVE many of his great songs. I’ve been a fan since I can remember. I also love his message, “Peace, love and happiness. Take care of each other.” The same as Ringo Starr. I love him, too. ✌❤🙂

Steve Miller looks and sounds great, wow

Liked it @ 8,understood @10 STILL digging it today.♤♤♤

Magical ~ love to listen to your harmony, never gets old.

Grew up to Steve Miller in the 70's. Great to see these videos Blackhawk!!! Thanks alot!!!

It is the sound (and memories) that matters - how cool this still sounds!

How GREAT was America back in the days this was released? You hear it in the groove and feel. This song along with many others from that time were a celebration of how AMAZING our way of life was.
