notes:
A nice collection of recordings chronicling the evolution of the Steve Miller Band, from rocking blues band to the early space rock of Fly Like an Eagle.
The first show comes before Boz Scaggs joined the band. 1967 is the year that the band was actually signed to Capitol records. The bands first official recording will not surface till 1968, but in 1967 they did back Chuck Berry when he recorded the Live At The Filmore album.
The second show comes from May of 1968, now the first album was recorded while on tour in England in May of 1968 so this recording is most likely from before the LP is recorded. It's definitely from before Children of the Future's release which came in September. Sailor followed in October.
The third show comes from 1973 before the release of The Joker, which was released in October.
There is some static toward the end of "Mary Lou" which sounds like a radio station not quite tuned. It doesn't last too long.
These are all great performances highlights would be the two jams on CD1 the second of which is 22 minutes long. CD 2 features a 15 minute version of "Living in The USA". While CD 3 features a live version of "Fly Like An Eagle" a full 3 years before it is recorded. "The Joker" has very different lyrics and is presented acoustically. The extended jams on this collection show why people used to call him Stevie "Guitar" Miller.
