Great tune!

Jeff Buckley live in Chicago, same show that hallelujah came from that you reacted to, lover you should have come over and mojo pin.

I remember being a young boy in the '70s and whenever this tune came on the radio, my dad would sing along and be in a happy mood. Looking back, dad was still in his 20s at the time and this song probably appealed to some youthful fantasy about getting one over on "the man" or something like that. If I remember correctly, dad always did the hand claps as well, even if he was driving.

I always used to wonder how Steve got to be such a good guitar player. Then I found out that Les Paul was his godfather.

@noahmatteson4525

2 жыл бұрын

Les Paul taught him basic chords, but he was mainly taught by T Bone Walker and other blues musicians who came through Miller's house (his parents knew a lot of people in the music industry). By age 14 Miller was backing Jimmy Reed and Freddie King, and even B.B. King. He was around some of the greatest guitar talent from an early age. His earlier stuff from the late 60's really highlights his guitar work. Check out Steppin' Stone by him.

React to "The Hollies - Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress)." It is a very similar song, in that it tells a story about police stuff.

One of the coolest drum Intros ever! A huge component of the Steve Miller Band's grooviness during this period is the incredible drum work of Gary Mallaber.

Steve Miller had a fun edge-y-ness to a lot of his songs.😊

Man, I remember one day I went to the bank to cash in a check and as I was waiting I heard this song over the loudspeakers. Still laugh every time I think about it.

Jamal, I would love if you reacted to Steve Miller's Winter Time. It's from the same album as Jungle Love and appears on the compilation that this song is on. It's one of the smoothest, most hypnotizing songs I've ever heard. I think you'd dig it after your reaction to Fly Like an Eagle.

Great band. I saw them live twice, once when they were the headline act, and once in the early 90's (I think '92) when they opened for the Grateful Dead at RFK Stadium in Washington, DC.

I have a radio on 24/7. It's an "oldies" format. I get been a fan of Steve Miller, since the early 80s. When any Steve Miller song is played, I stop doing whatever, and increase the volume enough, to where I can sing along, but not hear my own voice. 🤣🤣🤣 Of course, I know I can't sing, so only do it when I'm alone, in my own space. Yes, I did it, while watching this, and all the other Steve Miller, Jamel has/will react to. Keep good music alive.

If you haven't heard it, "Still the One" by Orleans.

It doesn’t matter where I am when this song comes on, I always clap along!

Thanks for this, certainly dig Steve Miller! One I havent seen requested much is "True Fine Love" which is a sweet song for sure. Thanks again!

My favorite Steve Miller. Great song!

Steve Miller was a fav when I was a kid in the 70’s, haha! Fun melodies, makes you move a bit, decent riffs, and fun to sing along to.

What I love about this song is that the rhythm guitar that usually takes the back seat is definitely in the FRONT seat for this one. And it sounds great. You might even say that the break that usually has a LEAD guitar solo actually has a rhythm guitar solo. Cool!

Rhyming "Texas" with "facts is" is just...*chef kiss* MUY FANTASTICO! /s

There is no bad song they all are excellent! I have been listening to them all day today. I happen to see you were reacting to Steve Miller again and of course the song my baby girl would hear us sing to her. Lol...my baby girl Bobby Sue is now 32 yrs old. Time flies...glad you liked it. God bless ✌

Love the Abbey Road Beatles on your desk and the Jerry Garcia face on the wall.

Serenade and Rock'n Me were 2 of the very first songs i heard. A childhood friend had an oldest brother and we used to listen to his LPs. Steve Miller Band was there so it was Deep Purple, Rainbow, The Doors, Queen etc. Oh how i miss those innocent years of my life

I was a teenager in the 70's and Steve Miller was ALWAYS on the radio. A great blues-y tune of Steve's - "The Stake". BTW- "Take The Money And Run" is a GREAT Woody Allen movie as well.

This band is the bomb, they’ve been giving us music since the 60’s from Winterland to beyond w/ a couple of name changes. Steve was asked to give a BAMie to a fellow artist Jerry but was required to purchased entrance tickets at 1500 dollars, he said F that, right on Mr. Miller
