FIRST TIME HEARING The Steve Miler Band - Rock'n Me REACTION

[@novass8610]

Jungle Love, Jet Airliner, Take the Money and Run, The Stake, Mercury Blues, Swingtown are some more Steve Miller Band tune you would enjoy……..

[@Proud.American58]

Throw in the soft “Wild Mountain Honey” and early works “Living in the U.S.A” and “Space Cowboy”

[@victorlukancic2839]

Love Steve miller band try fly like an eagle

[@bodynhand]

ANOTHER All Skate!

[@mikesrightusually4267]

Jungle Love > Abracadabra

[@squaaaaak3178]

but please nothing from greatest hits. The songs on that album are censored and chopped.

[@danielstandiford3240]

Hey Jay and Amber, great songs from Steve Miller band. I really want to suggest 2 more great songs from Steve. Fly Like an Eagle, one of his earliest and Jet Airliner.

[@keithjoye2114]

I’d add Swingtown to that list…👍🏻

[@blakelejeune368]

Jet airline with the interlude

[@bethmiller1840]

Good choices!

[@gregwatson3300]

Exactly what I was going to suggest.

[@sgt.blkdog3840]

not hardly one of his earliest...sorry

[@Cadinho93]

You guys should react to… Steve Miller Band - Fly Like An Eagle 🎸🤘

[@laurakali6522]

Extended version…..

[@billofalltrades2633]

And wild mountain honey!

[@JaneDoe396Hz]

Ooooh, yes.

[@Louisvillebilly]

Steve Millers Greatest Hits is a staple in every collection.....front to back they are all amazing !

[@BillGraper]

You two are FULL of #1 hits lately! This one hit #1 in 1976. Great song, great band!!! LES PAUL himself was Steve's godfather, and he taught Steve how to play. A legend teaching a *future* legend in his youth!!!

[@rullmourn1142]

TY, interesting.

[@thebestduofr1210]

I’d forgotten that, thanks!

[@andymageen5308]

Steve Miller grew up in Texas, with essential Southern Blues players being frequent visitors to his house. He moved to San Francisco to create the band and so has both deep blues influences covered in psychedelia for a very unique sound. ✌️

[@ynot13579]

Steve grew up in the Milwaukee area his godfather was Les Paul who also played guitar.

[@bugvswindshield]

Steve Miller used to live on Mercer Island in Seattle. A good friend of mine used to work at a local guitar shop and Steve would come on in sometimes to buy new strings. This was back in 80's

[@cazgerald9471]

@@ynot13579 Steve was born in Milwaukee, but the Millers moved to Dallas when Steve was about 7 - he & Boz Scaggs met at St Mark's HS in Dallas.

[@firedoc5]

Steve Miller Band is so underrated. So many of their songs are classic that stand the test of time.

[@sallysharp3845]

"Fly Like An Eagle" should be next by Steve Miller Band. Per Google they are from San Francisco.

[@jordan390a]

Yes...the full album version....!

[@RedBud315]

The song Amber is thinking of is "Take The Money and Run". She's probably heard "Take It On The Run" which is also a great song by R.E.O. Speedwagon and mixing them up. Side note, I met R.E.O. singer Kevin Cronin at a celebrity golf tournament and helped him and Ryan Stiles and a couple others close the bar down. Fun guy.

[@bethmiller1840]

Cool!

[@lindalou6105]

Thank you. I was going to mention this too

[@gabrielledormuth4634]

I absolutely love Take it on the run Kevin's voice is so awesome

[@willcordelo9582]

Yeah, I kinda figured someone already pointed out that Amber was mixing up the two songs! We'll give her the pass as she's just so damn cute! I DO know why she doesn't like Abracadabra as much as some of the others. I feel the same way as that song is good, but it has to be about 20th on my favorites list of Steve Miller songs! It just has such tough competition...

[@RedBud315]

@@willcordelo9582 She's my girl Amber. She said so, lol.

[@gpxo11]

Now for the Steve Miller Band ferocious foursome of this period-Fly Like An Eagle, Jungle Love, Swingtown and Jet Airliner which paves the way for the Abracadabra sound.

[@elmoomle4565]

YES.

[@jayhoyer3395]

Fly Like an Eagle and Jungle Love are big hits of SMB. You need to hit them for some classic Steve Miller!

[@ramblerdave1339]

The "Classic" Steve Miller, is before, he switched to making pop tunes for the musically unwashed, radio audience.

[@billofalltrades2633]

Oh yeah! Steve Miller Rocks! I saw them in concert in the mid 90s The Doobie Brothers opened up for them. Wild mountain honey and dance dance dance are great songs too.

[@wadsworthaaron]

I saw the Indianapolis (IN) show on that tour (Steve Miller Band & the Doobie Bros. w/Michael McDonald). Both bands did a "greatest hits" playset... it was clearly a fan-friendly tour. It was a great time!

[@tonyberezowski7859]

Love all the hits that people are suggesting. But, those are two of my absolute favourites from SMB!! Along with True Fine Love and Serenade.

[@j.h.3777]

I saw them opening for Grateful Dead.

[@jannsmart7005]

I LOVE Stevie Guitar Miller! I saw them at the Shoreline Theater in Mountain View, Ca a million years ago and genuinely thought that I had a religious experience!

[@soul4saken]

Jet Airliner is so damn catchy. You've got to do it guys!

[@kieranfordham8481]

I would STRONGLY recommended jet airliner it is a sick vibe!

[@Malryth]

I hope they do the long version of Jet Airliner

[@soul4saken]

@@Malryth If you mean the long live version, I agree.

[@soul4saken]

I sure do

[@Bozers24]

"Fly Like an Eagle" needs to be your next one of theirs. It has a very strong message.

[@jussinawaydeanamortl5680]

My suggestion for a fifth song is Fly like an eagle. Listen to the original version though. I feel it has the same vibe as this song as far as making you just float away with the music! Much love in my heart for the robsquad family. PS: the perfect version has the same thumbnail image as this song.

[@rray848]

Yes!!! Get the original song... the versions on the greatest hits clip the song. If you can get a version with the full introduction called Space Intro is the best... that was how it was on the original album it was released on. Here is a video with the intro and the full song. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2SQgXl6qZtoqbs

[@larryg7126]

Interesting story of Steve's ability to control a situation, I saw the Steve Miller band in 1973 (The Joker was his current album) at the U of Penn indoor venue. The security and the crowd up front were getting into what easily could have been violence. Steve stopped the band in mid song, sent the band off stage & told his guitar tech to bring him his acoustic. He sat on a high stool addressed the security saying calm down these are just kids & addressed the crowd to say security were just doing their job & everyone needs to calm down. He proceeded to play a few tunes on the acoustic, finished, then called the band back out & they finished the set. I was impressed, I was a fan from their first album (you should check out the solo work of both Boz Scaggs & Ben Sidran from the early Steve Miller Band), but that cemented my fanhood. Also Rick Roberts by himself was the warm up, he was in Zephry, Flying Burrito Brothers & Firefall. What a concert!

[@RickLipinski]

Yes to the Gangster of LOVE. ROCK WAS ROLLING with SMBB.

[@connieb4372]

Now THAT is what you call crowd control. Top notch of him to be aware of what was going on and doing what was needed to calm down the situation. I remember the days of "festival" seating. When we saw Zeppelin back in the mid 70s in Houston, the venue was configured for festival seating (NO seats).. for being only 15, I was well aware of problems and deaths that had occurred prior when fans rushed the stage and we were right up front, but it all went off without any problem luckily.. so sad that kids have to lose their lives needlessly. Thanks for that great story!

[@larryg7126]

@@connieb4372 I wasn't even aware till he stopped the band mid song & talked the situation down, we were seated close to the stage but to his right. My eyes were on him. The 70's were a trip, our youth had some killer bands. I'm glad you saw Zeppelin, I saw them in Madison Square Garden and they put on a great show, probably same tour as you. Have a great day!

[@surlechapeau]

Jay/Amber, their "Jet Airliner" and "Swingtown" are next for you!! Bangers!!

[@matthewteague623]

"Jet Airliner" is my absolute favorite. "Seranade" is short-but-gold.

[@alkronlage5236]

Steve Miller band goes way back into the 60s. Tons of great songs. "The Stake" is one of my favorites I think you'd love! Good bluesy rock guitar!

[@jimburow706]

This one’s my favorite Steve Miller Band tune. Summer…road trip…laying around by the lake with good friends and a few beers… yeah. This is that song.

[@donnamcmanus7360]

That "unique & authentic" thing you pick up from some of the classic rock groups is time served playing dives, small clubs & venues. They toured & not in luxury before the big break. You are hearing musicians & singers who already are comfortable with their instruments & stage presence. Makes a huge impact🙂

[@guidosarducci]

Thank you for saying that.........

[@roncypert8255]

The band was formed in California but Miller was born in Milwaukee. His parents were close friends with guitar virtuoso Les Paul and his wife Mary Ford. They were best man and matron of honor at the Paul/Ford wedding and Les Paul was Steve’s godfather. They moved to Dallas in 1950 and Mr. Miller, who was a pathologist and recording engineer, had many distinguished musicians come to their house to record. Young Steve absorbed much from "greats" such as T-Bone Walker, Charles Mingus, and Tal Farlow. Walker taught Steve how to play his guitar behind his back and also with his teeth in 1952. His classmate in prep school was Boz Skaggs who Steve taught guitar chords so he could join Miller and his brother Buddy’s band.

[@teknikel]

Steve is from Texas.

[@jillkoop5682]

[@charlielightfoot7006]

"Fly Like an Eagle" -- and do not forget the "Space Intro" just before it!

[@JoeMama410]

I remember blasting their greatest hits with the window open in high school. Swingtown is a great album opener.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Yeah, you just can't go wrong with his greatest hits album. They could just find a playlist of it on KZbin and start picking songs they haven't heard yet. Every one of them is solid gold.

Wild mountain honey is one of my favorites from Steve Miller

[@waltw4537]

Some other Steve Miller Band, different from this, but worthwhile: "Your Saving Grace", "Kow Kow" and "Seasons". Not to mention "Jet Airliner". Thanks for the reaction.

[@jackierenn2779]

I have seen Steve Miller Band many, many times in the 70s and into the 80s, in Seattle. The part of this song that goes, "Driving from Phoenix , AZ on my way to Tacoma", always got a loud, thunderous cheer from the Seattle audience. Miller lived in the Seattle area in the mid to late 70s. Last I heard he was living around Medford, OR. I would say he likes living in the Pacific North West. There's a lot of good Steve Miller song suggestions here, and I love them all. However, one of his songs that would get played at parties is a song called, Dance, Dance, Dance, which I highly recommend.

[@sharoncromer1910]

I love the Steve Miller Band! Speaking of songs that have dips I suggest Blinded By the Light by The Manfred Mann Band. I could listen to that one over and over and never get tired of it. Keep on rocking Rob Squad! ❤❤

[@mariaportengen2959]

I can also recommend their song "Wintertime" a beautiful number. 🎶🎶🎶💕💕

[@roypartible9759]

"Jet Airliner" is also similar to the vibe of "Rock'n Me" I think Amber will really like that one.

[@MS-ro9dm]

Other than "The Joker" everything on the Greatest Hits is off of two albums. Both "Book of Dreams" and "Fly Like an Eagle" are cover to cover, there are songs you will miss when you get the Hits album.

[@gammaanteria]

I will say I love his “Nobody but You” from the ‘80s…definitely a catchy tune, and if it had been recorded earlier in the ‘70s would have fit in quite well with the rest of the Greatest Hits album.

I love the Steve Miller Band but this is absolutely without question and by far 100% my favorite Steve Miller song. It's actually one of my favorite songs in general.

[@brianherrington7226]

Steve Miller was born and raised in the Dallas Texas area and attended St Marks School for boys in his first couple of years in High School and while there he and fellow schoolmate Boz Scaggs formed a band then later Steve got the heive ho from St Marks and finished his schooling at DISD Woodrow Wilson High School which has many notables in music go to school there and it’s also the only public High School in the country that has boasted two Heisman Trophy winners.

His "house" up in the Orca's Islands, off the coast of Washington state, is freaking AMAZING... I was a listener since I first started listening to the radio in 1975. We got to see his house in Friday Harbor on a whale watching tour when we lived over on the Olympic Peninsula. If you love this song, your next CCR song really should be "Lodi"... and Amber, you HAVE to listen to "Wild Mountain Honey" by Steve Miller Band, you will be groovin' BIG TIME...
