Abracadabra for sure.

@@motleydigger me too. He'll love Fly Like An Eagle. It's a very unique song. I hope he writes these song titles down and reacts to them

[@jasonremy1627]

And yet, Steve was a Strat guy...

[@DeborahThurmond]

My husband is the chief engineer for more than 20 radio stations here in the Shreveport area. One of his stations hosted Steve Miller in concert a few years ago. It was in the summer and an outside event. Steve was a total blast. He played non-stop for almost 4 hours. He was still smooth. It was a really fun concert!

[@navigatingwithnana]

Hard to believe this iconic song is over 50 years old. Our generation was INCREDIBLE!!! Go Steve! 💥

[@julieCA58]

As a young woman of that era, a "joker", was a good hearted player. You did not put your heart on the line with these boys, because they were all the original free spirit. But they weren't users. They truly loved the women they were with, while they were with them. They really didn't want to hurt no one. You couldn't help but love them. And they were normally too cute for their own good.

[@rebeccamead4557]

My husband was a greaser era " joker ", we met, married and it lasted till he passed in a couple weeks done years ago. Great 🎵🎶 and laughter together.

[@marknorthrup4897]

Well said lady. I appreciate your point of view. I was a free spirit that never had an evil intent in my soul. I guess that was attractive to the ladies that I had an opportunity to know. I never hurt a soul or caused a long- lasting sorrow that I know of. (more the opposite heh).

[@RKOENT]

Fly Like An Eagle, Take The Money and Run, Rock n Me, Jet Airliner

[@jesselobo3213]

Its 1973 I jump the fence of my backyard and I land on my elementary school. I notice a ring of teenagers sitting and smoking on the baseball field and I hear "The Joker" for the first time in my life. The kids are all smoking and having a good time listening to music, specifically this song. Little did I know how much I would end up loving "Steve Miller's music and especially this song. My mind immediately goes back to that time every time I hear this song. Truly a classic song of that era and any era.

[@roncarnes5724]

If you lived in the suburbs in the '70s/'80s, you had these albums: Steve Miller Band Greatest Hits 1974-78, Fleetwood Mac - Rumors, Eagles - Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975 and Aerosmith's Greatest Hits (1980)

[@ColonelSpankysLostBattalion]

Boston, Frampton Comes Alive

[@kimzwolinski9919]

🔥🔥🔥 Abracadabra is one of my favorites

[@l-bird]

Yeah, Steve Miller Band one of the greatest groups from my College Days. A definite rabbit hole to go down!

[@ChainedGraboid]

They're actually from the 60s 😊

[@NativeNYerChicHK]

@@ChainedGraboidSure, their first album might have been released in ‘68 but their best days and greatest hits were from ‘74-‘78. So not really a 60’s band or 80’s band, but a 70’s band 🤪

[@pjmiller5207]

This was released in 1973, not the '80's.

[@l-bird]

@@ChainedGraboid You're absolutely correct... I guess I'm just referring to the years I most listened to them, which was when I was in college 😉

[@stevenseul361]

Hey Buddy 70's the whole decade.

[@ricksurratt9034]

Fly like an eagle…

[@Makai77]

The word "pompitous" or "pompatus" stems from Steve Millers mishearing of the phrase "puppetutes of love" in the 1954, Vernon Green song "The Letter" in which he used the words "puppetutes of love"... his combination of "puppets" and "prostitutes". A puppetute being a woman of your fantasies who would do.

[@russallert]

Wolfman Jack used the phrase in his guest appearance with The Guess Who on Clap For The Wolfman, which I believe is from the same year (1974) as The Joker, or pretty close.

[@user-hb3uh2vv9k]

This is Steve Miller's anthem, the crowd always goes nuts!

[@impudentdomain]

This song was absolutely played everywhere and all the time in the 1970's.

[@MichaelKing-de4jz]

Steve Miller is the singer, he has written a lot of good tunes, abracadabra is a good one, fly like an eagle is another one!! Love Steve Miller band!

[@ricksurratt9034]

I happen to be a bass player and I just noticed that the bass players playing left-handed on a right handed guitar. I may have to try that.

[@ChainedGraboid]

Steve Miller Band has a lot of hits, enjoy the ride

[@stephenstrudwick8095]

This great song from 1973 actually hit number one in the UK in 1990 due to its inclusion in a Levi's jeans commercial. Other classic Steve Miller band songs worth listening to include "Jet Air Liner", "Fly Like An Eagle", and "Jungle Love".

[@chelseahaley8350]

Love this song! Steve Miller Band has a lot of great songs! U really cant go wrong with any song off of their greatest hits album, but Rock n me, Dance dance dance, Swingtown, and Wild mountain honey are a few of my favs!

[@dawnyoung8]

Rock n me , is 100% forever playlist , so is The things we do for love by 10cc Because , my still best friend and I Had a conversation of a sleep over at 9 ish And her favorite song was rock n me and mine was the things we do for love . It’s still comes straight to me head and back to that weekend everytime I hear either of them ! I have noticed time traveling with music is a lifelong thing I’ve been doing my entire life .

[@gremlyn1439]

Research his blues background. His mother was a music teacher and his father also was into music and had a recording studio in their basement. Many old blues artists would Vista there regularly.

[@IvIidnight]

The bassist is playing a right-handed bass lefty, or upside down! Nice!

[@roniboyd613]

And sounded sooooo goooood!!

Funny story, I remeber hearing this song growing up. My 2 brothers and their friends would play it while they were "toking" in the back room of my mom and dad's house 40 years ago. Love this song. Sadly I lost my eldest brother in 1984.

[@gl15col]

One of the best songs, one of the best bands. Smooth as silk, sharp as a knife. Music to listen to while sitting in a bean bag chair, just a little messed up and real relaxed.

[@Prozak63]

Steve Miller "Book of Dreams" along with Billy Joel "The Stranger", Meatloaf "Bat Out of Hell", Fleetwood Mac "Rumors", Steely Dan "Asa", Boston "Boston" and Chuck Mangione " Feels So Good" were some of the albums I ordered from Columbia House back when you got 13 albums for a penny. I don't recall the others that I ordered, but 13 were in the box when it was delivered. Thinking back, I don't think I fulfilled my contract to purchase an album each month for a year at full cost... I wonder if any teenager did. I should probably send them a check...

[@jasonremy1627]

Steve Miller Band was a vibe. Everything is cool and chill and fun.

[@debbers]

I have this album! I still play my albums on Saturday afternoons, my great grandchildren get involved and then it gets really fun! However they treat Grandma's albums with the respect that they deserve and a good time is had all the way around!

This was my brother's mantra. He passed 10 years ago and we played it at his memorial service. My daughter and him used to sing it at random. Great memories!

[@tonyherrera9329]

Another Fun Fact: Steve MIller and Boz Scaggs went to high school together and started a band together. Boz was in the Steve Miller Band in the late '60's. Definitely check out Abracadabra, Jet Airliner and Fly LIke An Eagle. I am going to remind you of my suggestion to check out the Jeff Beck Group Album ('72) and the songs: "Ice Cream Cakes" and "Sugar Cane." Jeff Beck was a brilliant guitarist, from the UK, and passed away last year. Thank you for your consideration.

[@bloodybob3750]

that guitar work is just amazing .

[@MrJ-gy4mm]

Steve Miller is probably the greatest musician, that everyone could sing his songs, but could not be picked out of a lineup.

[@timcampbell5758]

Such a deep rabbit hole to go down with the Steve Miller Band. Highly recommend Take the Money and Run, Jungle Love, Swing Town; they are three of my favourites, but there are so many. Great reaction and keep the SMB reactions coming.

[@goldenballs23]

When I was in 8th grade my gym teacher would play Steve Miller's greatest hits while we played " bombardment". I don't think you're allowed to play bombardment" in gym class anymore. Bombardment = dodgeball

[@Mojo69701]

Yes, we called it bombardment in 7th grade. 1970.

[@margaretburnham5683]

I love dodgeball but... Man it sure hurt when you got belted in the head with it. It would take your breath away and your whole head would be stinging. It would almost put your body in a slight paralysis...it would take a little while to shake away the shock to your body

I've been lucky enough to see these guys five times in my life and I thought they were amazing because in the same tour they would play huge venues and then much smaller ones. Just cuz they would go where their fans were and not have to make them travel hours. They really put on great shows for their fans. One of the best I've seen live for sure.
