I'm a fan of the C,D, and G

I got to open for Steve Miller in 2019 with my band Brother Oliver. Steve is a class act. We opened for many bands and he was by far the biggest. And he was by far the most hospitable and friendly.

He's always been a great guitar player & song writer but I'm amazed at how great his voice still sounds...

Take the Money and Run is one of my favorite songs of all time.

This song will forever remind me of my brother and bring a smile to my face.

I agree, when you hear one man with a guitar(Steve Miller) then consider Metallica Master of Puppets in the same small space the quality of the audio is excellent, those guys know their stuff.

His voice has aged so well. It is now better than it was back then. This made me feel joy.

Great tune. Brings me right back to high school in ‘74.

Saw him with John Fogerty a few years back, both put on a stellar set.

2 of the best shows I've seen is Steve Miller and Peter Frampton and then Fogerty on his own. Both shows were incredible and sounded amazing.

Classic, Classic voice. One of the first albums I ever heard as a kid was “Book of Dreams”. Played it with my father’s headphones on an old Technics linear track turntable in 1978. I was six and it blew my mind.

This was a great short little interview. Love the backstory. Makes me appreciate the song and Steve Miller much more. He seems so down to earth.

There are more clips of this interview! Steve has quite a history.

Great way to change the melody to fit his now more mature voice. Great overall feel

Stevie -- one of the greats of all time!

"You know, you're never really happy, Howard." So true, lol.

Love knowing that Steve was swapping out lyrics and music to the set of songs he was crafting at the time. I have literally been doing that, past ten days. Cool to hear it was a method at work behind those famous songs!

Love it!! So many great memories of this classic sing-a-long song with my high school buddies....Thank you

Of all of the amazing artists Howard has had perform for him, Steve would be the most exciting to me.

This song, Serenade and Abracadabra made me wanted to study and listen to Steve Miller's music, more and more. It's awesome!

Hello from Brazil, love his songs and all those years ago!!!

I remember hearing this interviews live. Steve was so refreshingly honest and awesome

Great band love all their music even some of their blues seen at the orpheum theater they were fantastic

One of my favourite all time songs x

What a song. A piece of history!

another amazing video of a great artist talking about how he wrote a song. Amazing!

Nothing like some classic rock!

Living legend

He still got it

ANOTHER shout-out to Howard....for your talent, intellect, and the guests that you feature. You RESPECT their talents....and let them either demonstrate it, or talk about it. The best interviewers DON'T try to eclipse their guests' contributions.

Steve Miller is such a great musician and creative genius! His music is so unique! I'm a heavy metal guy, but man his music is so cool!

Saw Steve and John Lee Hooker in 1970 at a small club north of San Francisco. We left at 4 o'clock in the morning and Steve was still playing. He loves making music and was a strong influence on me while I was a draftee in the Army. Peace

I've heard many times "Steve Miller can sing and write songs, but he can't play guitar!" YA KNOW DAMN RIGHT THIS MAN CAN PLAY GUITAR!

Stevie "guitar" miller

I met Steve in the mid-90's at a very small regional airport. I was working p/t as a "ramp rat", fueling aircraft, rolling red carpets, marshalling aircraft, etc. He and his wife arrived late at night on a small corporate jet, bound for a show at the Tacoma Dome the next night. He was nothing but nice, a gentleman, and for me.... a highlight for people I worked with. I encourage all to check out his discography.

We love u Howard n Steve bro thank u for sharing what HE gave u

Awesome man, will always be one of my faves. So cool.

I didn't know until recently that he had a song one one of his earlier albums called Space Cowboy.... and that song also included the term Gangster of Love

Steve Miller was the first paid ticket concert I ever went to. Maple Leaf Gardens in TO. Not sure of the year but about 1976-ish!

This is the first time i've ever seen Steve Millers face.

Classic songs from the 70's and 80's mean more today all these decades later. Mean more today, not because of covid.... because the songs, like us... have aged. Nostalgia is great.

That was a great acoustic version… He’s a fantastic guitar player.

I could listen all night ...beautiful.!!!💜💜💜

The first rock concert my dad every saw when he was young was The Steve Miller Band. I grew up on the "Book of Dreams" album (which infected my soul) as a child, and funny thing, the first band I ever saw in concert was ALSO The Steve Miller Band. Just one listen to the "Book of Dreams" album and you will know why some people call Steve the "Space Cowboy".

yes, you are new in my eyes. thank you

Still sounds fuckin awesome! What a legend

He’s a genius but he doesn’t realize it! Love all his songs!

I saw Steve Miller about the time Number 5 came out. Curtis Hickson Convention Center in Tampa. Good concert,I’ve been a fan ever since.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 the Joker has been my bane since it came out. My name is Maurice!

I love the albums where he went back to his blues roots. " Bingo " and it's follow up " Let your hair down " loved those cds....

I love him!

I love it

WONDERFUL!!!

Good stuff loved it still

Thanks Howard, you see through all the garbage out there & see the true gems we've been given Steve Miller awesome, Joe Walsh, I remember Dave Grohl "Everlong acoustic live in your studio 1st time early morning, (I had to pull the car over, stop & listen, totally blown away), James Taylor, Royal Blood & many others. You truly have the ear for what's real. Thanks & keep on rockin in what's left of the free world. P.S. & Without a net (No Auto Tune).

Long live Steve Miller 💙

Steve Miller’s amazing.

Steve is GREAT!

Saw him in KC with Frampton....what memories!.....

So cool...still sounds great

this dude still kills it

This is what Howard is best at. Great interview

Just awesome. Thats all i got.

Awesome

Saw Steve Miller Band @ Agua Caliente... Ammmmmazing

He still sounds great!

A-May-zing!

Immortal song.

Quality tunes!!

We call him Professor.... AMAZING....

happens to me all the time

Some have natural charisma & he’s one of them.

Glad Steve is still kicking .

This song epitomises cool

Stevie Guitar Miller has such a Beautiful Voice! and how about this line, *Really Love Your Peaches Wanna Shake Your Tree?*

Anyone else here wished Howard would have asked "What's a pompetous"? I know I've been wondering since the 80's.

Miller said it was just a made up word.

I’m just realizing now that Geto boys sampled “the joker” in their song “Gangsta of love” because he said the line gangster of love in “the joker”

The Joker is just one fucking cool ass song. Probably the coolest ever!!!!

How does he sound this good still?!

That’s a nice song.

by George, I think that's a hit, I think this fella is going places

Ordinary song the way of the world

Really wish John Fogerty & Steve Miller would’ve made a song together

i always thought this song was catchy, but i found it obnoxious. i love the way he sings it here, and how he talks about his songwriting process. real cool moment!

God bless 🙏

Steve has a ton of classics that predate The Joker.

Steve Miller hands down Was a major influence on my musical journey. Jet Airliner...they just don't make songs like that anymore!

Steve looks more like he'd be a comedian or a quirky character actor than a rock star.

That’s a hell of a nice song ....
