Fun fact, gents: Steve Miller got his first guitar lesson from his godfather - none other than Les Paul!

[@matthewdrake4385]

That Les Paul, one of the people who had a guitar model named after him.

[@kevincosta9228]

@@matthewdrake4385 The Les Paul who invented multi track recording, among other things. He not only has a guitar named after him, he was a pioneer of electric guitar design and playing. He was THE guitarists guitarist. Having him for your music teacher is like having Michaelangelo for an art teacher.

[@Man0fMeans]

We’d all be lucky if there were less Paul

[@matthewdrake4385]

Kevin, Les Paul and Leo Fender were the first to have guitar models named after them. How many guitarists have strapped on a Les Paul or Fender Strat of some kind over the past 60 years or so? Too many to count!

“Take the Money and Run” and “Fly Like an Eagle” are great, but the Steve Miller Band songs that really had my friends and me dancing and sweating and air-guitaring back in the ‘70s were "Jungle Love," "Jet Airliner," "Swingtown," and "Rock 'n Me."

Worked with future members of Toto and Les Dudek. David Paich and drummer Jeff Porcaro (later of Toto) played on his Silk Degrees album which was a huge hit. David co-wrote the song Lowdown with Boz, and it is a song worth checking out.

I always thought there was kind of a meta-level to Take the Money and Run. The whole story is introduced as a bored listless couple who just sits around and watches TV (the Tube, short for the Boob Tube, a popular colloquialism at the time), and then they go on this adventure, but what would ordinarily be considered an incredibly dramatic story is delivered so casually, just like somebody getting high and sitting there passively watching a TV show, laugh.

meh. Nothing about this song strikes me as greatness.

[@andreaschmall5560]

I agree. So commercial.

HARD AGREE - Perfect rockin' fun song, flawless, expertly simple, what's not to LOVE?!

[@doplinger1]

It is a fun song, and Steve Miller has more of them too.

[@davidterry5806]

This is the third Steve Miller song they have done and none of them are my favorite. Scanning quickly the 800 comments as of this comment I can see a lot of love for JET AIRLINER. Its one of my faves along with ROCK'N ME. ROCK'N ME has they lyric "Northern California where the girls are warm". Are you friggin' kidding me? I listen to that song and wait for that line. I live in Southern California where the girls tend to be HOT but the kind of warmth Steve Miller is talking about here sounds very appealing to this 65 year old.

Agree with some others, this song and a few other songs were so over-played when they came out (and even for years after). Worse, they crossed over so you heard them on pop like stations as well as rock. Songs like this you couldn't really get away from, and to this day I am not a SMB fan. There are bands and songs I can listen to many times over, but SMB is one I could do without for the rest of my life 😉. I look forward to your impressions of this song, as a fresh listener, I'm betting you'll really dig it.

One of the things I really enjoy about the channel is getting to hear overplayed songs with new ears.

Steve Miller. Never very complicated but always a good listen.

Montrose!

His greatest hits album is filled with fun radio hits. I went to see him once and it was like. Oh yeah he did this one, oh and that one, played for like an hour and a half pretty much one familiar catchy song after another. Basically fun summer time back drop music..

The Steve Miller Band has so many songs that are “feel good bangers,” as Andy said. Definitely check out: 🎧 “Rock’n Me” 🎧 “Jet Airliner” 🎧 “Jungle Love”

[@jgsrhythm100]

Are you familiar with the original version of "Jet Airliner" by the most soulful cat that ever lived, the blind Paul Pena?! Also check "Wait on What you Want" "A Bit of Alright" For me S rating material!!

[@allisonreed7682]

@jgsrhythm100 I wasn’t familiar with the original version, but checked it out and absolutely loved it. Thanks!

[@MS-xu7jm]

The clap in that song is iconic - trust me growing up with it

[@floydiannyc]

Are we all just going to ignore that A&A have not heard Driver's Seat by Sniff n The Tears? Let's get some likes on this.

[@oldnytv5911]

Thanks for the vid guys! Always look forward to watching. Early Steve Miller is a trip. In your spare time check out the song “Journey From Eden” from the 1972 album “Recall The Beginning...A Journey From Eden”. Peace!

[@jvmonte6638]

Another great song! Another great reaction! Thanks Andy & Alex...May I suggest “I’d Love To Change The World “ by Ten Years After Peace and love from Toronto.

Stevie "Guitar" Miller was very more blues orientated early when he first came out then he really found his niche with the classic rock format. Was on FM radio all the time while I was growing up.

[@2869may]

"Jungle Love" is a great one as well.

[@shirleykelly9971]

Steve Miller Band wrote and performed their own music they were one of the best bands of the 70s and 80s

[@zappafan-eu4wp]

Nice . Time for some early Robert Palmer-SAILIN SHOES/HEY JULIA/SNEAKING SALLY THROUGH THE ALLEY

[@JoeKentMagic]

Yeah, Man !! "Sneaking Sally..." is some, groovy/funky, Memphis /Nawlins, 70's Jam ! Like Little Feat, Humble Pie, and Mother’s Finest

[@Haltech007]

A highly underrated Steve Miller song, but one of my all-time favs is 'Winter Time'. The whole vibe of the song really feels like being in the mountains in the snow in the winter. It is a mellow and beautiful song.
