  • There is nothing more important to us than your good health and welfare so we are postponing all of our dates in June to a later date when it is safe for all of us to be together. Here is an early pre-release live version of “Fly Like An Eagle” from Don Kirshner's Rock Concert recorded in 1973, three years before it was released. Watch this spot for updates.
    The Steve Miller Band performs his iconic hit “Fly Like An Eagle” recorded live in 1973 at the Palace Theater in New York City for Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert.

      Well it’s true they don’t have sheet music, but only a few parts are “improvised”… the song was rehearsed into a structured form. But it went through several different forms before it was recorded and became the smooth classic we all know today

    The reaction of the girls in the crowd shows that this song was well on its way to becoming a major success.

      The Joker was a #1 single & album in ‘73. Can’t get more commercial than that.

    So cool to hear this song I’ve heard innumerable times on the radio BEFORE IT WAS RECORDED; he hits what became the opening riff at the end; so many great performances on The Midnight Special; I never missed it!

    I remember the Midnight Special, Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, and of coarse, Don Cornelius' Soul Train...we used to pop pocorn, get our friends together, stay up late sneak some liquor into our drinks and have a great time listening to & watching our favorite and new bands...didn't even know what a "music video" was...then, Saturday morning, Dick Clark came on with American Bandstand.... what a trip. 😊

    Utterly amazing to hear the primordial ooze that this pop hit began with. Echoes of the Meters and some serious psychedelic funk.

    This is 👍
    I think he had fragments of the melody around for years (you can hear bits of the chord structure & changes in earlier album tracks from the late 60s), but he had to wait for moment so he could write the song in full AND then write & record enough material for two classic albums.

  • @FrankDelvalle-zz2jh

    Great song. I heard it all the time in the 1970s never heard it live. I wondered its meaning all the time and imagined it was an out of body experience floating through time. Anothe Trippy song like this was "Nights in White Satin" by The Moody blues.
