Steve Miller Band Tour 2015

Maybe it was the cool and inventive guitar solo? For me it is.

Couldn't have been the lyrics.

Never been a fan but I like some of the radio hits (Fly Like An Eagle, The Joker, Jungle Love, bla bla). Abracadabra is pure cornball but I always get a chuckle out of it. It's currently an earworm...........I'm gonna reach out 'n grab ya.....

Couldn't have been the lyrics.

Like thousands of popular songs, it's much less about the lyric than the music. I don't think The Joker has a great lyric either (pompatous) but I like the song.

I always thought this quote from Miles Davis was hilarious, whether true or not. I guess he wasn't a fan.


“I remember one time - it might have been a couple times - at the Fillmore East in 1970, I was opening for this sorry-ass cat named Steve Miller. Steve Miller didn't have his shit going for him, so I'm pissed because I got to open for this non-playing motherf**ker just because he had one or two sorry-ass records out. So I would come late and he would have to go on first and then we got there we smoked the motherf**king place, everybody dug it.”

― Miles Davis

Screw you, Miles. 👺

Screw you, Miles. 👺

Racist!

I always put Steve Miller in the same category as Robert Palmer...basically had bluesy roots but cashed in on the genre of the month once they found a commercial comfort zone.
"Witchy Woman" always seemed to be the inspiration for Abracdabra!

I seriously doubt a Steve Miller audience dug it. If they were there for Miles then the opposite applies.

“this no-playing motherf**ker” ― Miles Davis

Lord knows what he must've thought of the headliner, Neil Young & Crazy Horse!

"Mozart was a bitch-ass honkey!"

"Mozart was a bitch-ass honkey!"

That's probably an actual quote.

The show was last night - a lot of fun. The opener (started before the indicated start time of 8pm!) was Don Felder - kind of cool to see/hear him do Hotel California. He played a double-neck!

I actually hate the song Jungle Love, but can't get it out of my head. Miller opened with it - I think he kind of wanted to get it out of the way.

Abracadabra was excellent! The shows a bit of a blur because it was a whole evening of classic rock - and thanks to my friend Jameson.
