Steve Miller Band has a bunch of great hits. What is also interesting was that his godfather was the famous Les Paul, and other famous musicians would come over to his parents' house to record their music! I recommend looking into his biography. Very interesting man.
If you do Fly Like An Eagle, please know that the Midnight Special version is completely different from the version that we hear most of the time... the odd instance where the Midnight Special is not the best... peace
Some of the best TSMB right there (probably in that same order). Not always the biggest hits, but still the best of TSMB. I would probably add Jungle Love.
Take the Money and Run Fly like an Eagle Jet Airliner Jungle Love Abracadabra Swingtown Those are my faves, behind The Joker, because this ones my all time favorite Steve Miller Band song.
Man, I have been listening to that song since 1973, junior high school. Steve Miller was the singer, guitar,bass player and wrote the song. It was told back then that Steve Miller was the only one in the SMB at the time. He recorded may guitar parts and layered them on top of another,to give it a fuller sound and the same layering of the vocals, sounds like many people. So at that time The Steve Miller Band was only Steve Miller , lol. All this was new technology then , now I think it's completely different with the digital technique. The I play my music in the sun,means his songs are straight forward, but everything else (joker,smoker, midnight toker) is under cover of night . I am 62 yrs old now and still love this tune man. Thanks Van, keep on rocking brothers and sisters. Brother Gary
@@vernacohen6988 I suppose we may be kindred spirits, I never missed TMS growing up and ABC Don Kirshners In Concert. Midnight Special was where I first saw KISS play, among others who were truly awesome, Linda Ronstadt. In Concert in 1974 played the California Jam, many bands were on there. I'm off track what I was going to say was I got the opportunity to see Edgar Winter in 2001 he was in Ringo Starr's All-star Band he played Frankenstein on the same Moog Synthesizer he used on TMS that night it was great. Memories are wonderful sometimes. Thanks Verna, rock sister , Brother Gary
@@shannonjohnson2530 I enjoyed watching that, and saw both Edgar and Johnny Winter's only at two separate times. They are both musical geniuses in my book. Thanks, Brother Gary
@@shannonjohnson2530 I meant to say, Edgar Winter played a Moog Synthesizer that generated most of those sounds. However he played sax and a pair of timbale drums , on the Midnight Special. When I saw him with Ringo's allstars band he was using the same Moog, I could tell by the way it looked. He put a guitar strap on it to play standing and moving around on stage. Thanks Shannon. Brother Gary
Steve Miller has a song called “Space Cowboy”, it’s a great song. He has A TON of amazing music. “Livin’ in the USA” has a fat bass line, lol. Great reaction!
I took my wife to his Fly Like a Eagle tour in Pullman Washington in 1977. He was huge at the time. It was one of our first dates. Today (October 25) is our 41st anniversary.
This is one of my all time favorite songs. Les Paul, the inventor of the Les Paul solid body Electric Guitar (a classic), many other music related electronics and himself a superb guitarist, was Steve Miller's Godfather, mentor, and teacher.
*the bass-line for this song. iconic. legendary. perfect. **#vastlyunderrated** - you'll always now that you've heard it. lol. it's been 40 years for me. and it's so cool seeing younger generation of music lovers discover and enjoy this music. cheers.*
Steve Miller is a great guitarist. He was mentored by Jazz/Pop guitarist Les Paul. The Steve Miller Band has been around since the late-1960s, and are known for their great albums, and great album cover artwork, particularly during the 1970s. They have had a number of hit songs, such as "Jet Airliner", "Livin' In The USA", "Take The Money And Run", "Keep On Rocking Me, Baby", "Fly Like An Eagle", "The Joker", and "Abracadabra" (which has a music video for the song). Steve Miller is an inductee in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. He is 78 years old. Note: In 1966, The Steve Miller Band was the backing band for Chuck Berry when his live concert album, ""Live At Fillmore Auditorium" was recorded and released that year.
Steve's Mother Was A Jazz Singer & His Father A Pathologist As Well As A Recording Engineer Who Worked With Greats Such As T-Bone Walker & Music/Guitar Making Icon Les Paul..Les Was Steve's Godfather.
My little brother was called Maurice when he was in the Army. Aaron died on 1/27/21 just shy of his 46th birthday. This song will always remind me of him. Aaron Hamilton 2/24/75-1/27/21.
@rebeccalipps wow, I'm so sorry for your loss. Very sad to lose a brother. This is a very strange coincidence... but The Joker always reminds me of my cousin who died at 21 years old on February 25, 1975. I remember that date, a Tuesday, because I had been out super late that night at a regrettable event...bad night for me, and didn't know he had passed until the next day. But oh man, he loved this song! Always had a huge smile when he'd sing along with it. I lost my cousin the day after your little brother was born, and now they're both in heaven, hopefully groovin' to The Joker.🙌
Steve Miller Band is a deep well of great music! "The Joker" "Space Cowboy" "Wild Mountain Honey" "Space Intro/Fly Like an Eagle" "Take the Money and Run" "Threshold/Jet Airliner" "Jungle Love" "Abracadabra" "Wide River" "I Want to Turn the World Around"
"Jet Airliner" - Steve Miller Band, gave the royalties to the writer a blind, blues jazz musician who never succeeded. His only income for the rest of his life was the royalties from "Jet Airliner", performed by The Steve Miller Band. Great song too.🥰
Try Swingtown by TSMB. LFR, yer killin' it these days. The Archie Bunker reactions are a smart move. Imho, good music needs a good beat to dance around the pulse, some simple lyrics (or deep if that's yer thing), and a great voice(s). All the rest is just style.
“He’s describing me!” Never met a person who felt that way that I couldn’t hang with. A person likely to say, “😂 man, settle down and chill out. You’re killing the vibe. Everyone here is cool.”
That was fun! This song was playing in the Dollar Store and two little old ladies started giggling when he sang, "really love your peaches, want to shake your tree". Lol!
Just Another Bit Of Trivia,, Steve's Parents Would Be The Best Man & Matron Of Honor At Les Paul's & Mary Ford's Wedding..Les Hearing Steve Play As A Child Saying,, "Maybe He Will Be Something One Day"...Lol
I have one daughter and I made sure she listened to this era of music, including Steve Miller Band. From a young age. Her Dad took care of the country side of things. Anywho, she would walk around singing this song, including Midnight Toker, starting about age 10. I thought this was the funniest thing ever! 😂 Move along until she was 23, she calls me up and was like, MOM, how could you do this to me, I have been singing Midnight Toker ALL of these years and you never stopped me. I laughed, because who wouldn’t, and was like, and what made you find out now, hmmmmm?!?! She said, Don’t change the subject, that was child abuse! I said, Drama much, you survived, if this is the worst thing that happens to you in your life consider yourself lucky. She tells the story to this day but laughs about it. She says now that she is happy that she had cool parents. Took her 30 years to admit the obvious truth! 😂 💗
Shortly After The Steve Miller Bands Second Album ("Sailor") Was Released (1968),, Boz Scaggs Would Leave The Band To Start His Solo Career,, Both Bands Becoming Successful & Multimillion Dollar Sellers In The 70's.

This song was playing at the party where I first met my husband. It always reminds me of him. You should check out more Steve Miller Band. Take the Money and Run, Fly Like an Eagle and Wild Mountain Honey are all good songs.
When my now 30 yr old son was about 3, I'll never forget him singing this while in grocery cart walking through the store. I really love your peaches want to shake your tree. 😂
*This was a really fun song to check out. Can't wait to see which others you all suggest. Don't forget it's Hoodie Season! LOL Ok I'll stop.*
Great, great song

That's not Steve Miller band it's Tom petty
@@josephbigger4204 tom petty sang the joker?
Always look forward to your vids! Could I suggest you react to The end of the line by The Travelling WIlburys? Really lovely song.
"Fly like an Eagle" please. Steve Miller doesn't have any bad songs. Steve sings & plays the guitar.
I really like Steve Miller but ‘Abracadabra’ was truly terrible!
That's my ring tone on my phone 📱 🎵 ppl dig it
@@ThePittsburghToddy i personally love it
If you do Fly Like An Eagle, please know that the Midnight Special version is completely different from the version that we hear most of the time... the odd instance where the Midnight Special is not the best... peace
He didn't until he did abracadabra. That was just awful and he just didn't have that vibe anymore. I love his earlier stuff though.
Steve Miller plays a huge part in the soundtrack of my life!! Since 1973/74...
Jet Airliner, Rock’n Me, Take The Money and Run, Abracadabra...
Some of the best TSMB right there (probably in that same order). Not always the biggest hits, but still the best of TSMB. I would probably add Jungle Love.
Jet Airliner,, hell yah
Take the Money and Run
Fly like an Eagle
Jet Airliner
Jungle Love
Abracadabra
Swingtown
Those are my faves, behind The Joker, because this ones my all time favorite Steve Miller Band song.
If you like the "chill" aspect of this song, give a listen to this band's "Wild Mountain Honey."
People forget Steve Miller had a career before the poppy Abracadabra.
Good call
I was thinking the same thing!
Yessss
Steve Miller has rabbit hole of music to dive into. Wrote and sang the often covered Fly Like An Eagle. Best cover, btw, is the Neville Brothers, IMHO
If you liked this, try The Steve Miller Band: "Take the Money and Run."

Same here, Gary. Great memories. I love the Midnight Special performance of this one. Loved that show.....😊
That's why Frankenstein by Edgar Winter was so cool, all the wonderful sounds.

"RockNMe", "Take the Money and Run" and their 1st hit "Livin' in the USA" are my favorite Steve Miller songs.

When I saw them, he enjoyed telling stories about how they started and their music. It was a fun time and must see in concert.
70s...greatest decade for musical variation...glad I was a teenager during that decade...
This song came out when I was in junior high school. So if this tells you anything I’m 61 years old. I do love this song.
🙋🏻♀️

Whoooooooo! Yeah, Buddy! Steve Miller Band is for sure a sweet rabbit hole to fall into.
There is a lot of heart in this song. His words are the kind of words that a girls heart hears. Peaches are better than smacking that ass.
"Jet Airliner" - Steve Miller Band, gave the royalties to the writer a blind, blues jazz musician who never succeeded. His only income for the rest of his life was the royalties from "Jet Airliner", performed by The Steve Miller Band. Great song too.🥰
