I got so see the Steve Miller Band in Hawaii, the summer of 1970 at the Crater Celebration inside Diamond head. He was very much a psychedelic rock band that day..lol.. He was bouncing the notes off the walls of the Volcano with his echoplex. Playing songs from his #5 album, like Jackson Kent Blues, totally trippy. He is "Stevie Guitar Miller", one of the all time greats. We also got so see Linda Ronstadt, that day, and Quicksilver Messenger Service, Big Brother and The Holding Co. (Without Janis). People that missed seeing him live in those crazy times, have no idea how great a guitar player he is. And he beat the system, even got paid by Capital Records.Thanks for the Video!

My mother becomes livid whenever ‘The Joker’ comes on the radio. It’s entirely due to the sound effect after “Some people call me Maurice”. Oh, the memories I have of us randomly making that sound in the house, immediately followed by her screaming. That did it, and so does the hook from “Roxanne” by the police

Really enjoy your videos...You're a great player and I always learn a lot even though I've played for over 50 years. I did want to mention that the Steve Miller band was originally known as the Steve Miller Blues Band and played predominantly straight ahead blues and weren't really a psychedelic/experimental band until the first side of their first album "Children of the Future". The second side of the album was more consistent with the normal musical direction of the band. Although they were always changing and confounding their fans. Saw them once in San Francisco when they were a 3 piece and thought they were the second coming of Cream. We used to go see the band for free in Provo Park in Berkeley, California...the personal was Steve Miller, Boz Scaggs, Lonnie Turner, Tim Davis and Jim Peterman. Great memories of great musical times. Thanks for your videos David!
