about 20 years ago, he was doing this charity event in our city and he was playing in this banquet hall I am part of. he was doing sound check and they were jamming to fly like an eagle. we were trying to have a meeting but all you could here was the music and we went to go watch. It was amazing how effortlessly they play. Then Steve came into the bar area and sitting there having a few beers and we were giving him some Italian style spirits and he was having a good time. Like you said, he was one of he most ordinary guys there but super nice!

You gotta respect a man who refuses to be inducted into the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame because they wouldn't induct his band.

@DavidSmith-ss1cg 5 лет назад

Steve Miller remembers that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is - like "Rolling Stone" magazine - the result of Jann Wenner's imagination - and ego. I admire him - and Eddie Vedder - for telling it like it is, right to their faces. I have to admit that Rolling Stone magazine has made a difference, a few times, but it(and it's influence) is overblown. And the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a lot like the circus. Clowns, exotic animals, and freaks - and awards for non-musicians.

JET AIRLINER is NOT written by Steve Miller. Rather it was written by Mr Paul Pena. The checks from Steve to Paul over the years kept him alive according to the liner notes in Paul New Train album finally released in 2000. The Paul Pena version of JET AIRLINER is featured on this album. He also played it on this show which can be searched on RU-vid. IMO Paul's is very much the superior version.

_The word is probably a corruption of-or imagined variation on-the word "puppetutes", which was itself a coinage, originated by Vernon Green at the age of 14. Green included the word "puppetutes" in the lyrics of doo-wop song "The Letter" (1954), as performed by him and The Medallions. "The Letter" also included another original coinage, "pismotality". Presumably in homage to the Medallions' song, Steve Miller used the nonce words "epismetology" and "pompatus" in the lyrics of two of his other songs, "Enter Maurice" and "The Conversation", one of which is, like "The Letter", in spoken-word style._

After watching this, I need to share my "Joker" story. My dad's best friend moved to Jackson Hole, WY from southern NJ in 1976. My mom and dad decided to drive out to see him in late May 1979. So off we went in my dad's 1978 Chevy pickup with a camper stuffed in the bed with the overhang over the roof. The youngest son, Quinn, and I, rode bicycles into town from his house. It was hot, so we went looking to get a drink. At 13 years old, we mistakenly ended up in a bar. The bartender said something like you can't drink beer here but you can have a soda. So we sat at the bar and guess what was blaring on the bar's speakers? The Joker by the Steve Miller Band. We thought we were so cool sitting in there for maybe 20 minutes. 40 years ago now and I will never forget that day.

He's quite personable for a guy who was always so low key. Somehow I always thought he would be moody and brooding, but he seems like quite the normal guy.

Steve played at our corporate event in Las Vegas last September. Don't tell anyone, but it was the highlight of the trip, and one of the highlights of my Life!!!

I just got to see him here and Florida a little bit ago. It's hard for me to imagine that this is the first time I got to see him perform....a whole lifetime...and still amazing and fun. Russell Crowe likes to sing too he should have him up on stage keep on a Rockin me

Incredible. Best rendition I've seen. First live show, Chicago 1976, and now dozens of times. See you May 1st, Scottsdale.

Genius... An all-time great songwriter (give "Abacadabra" a pass...), a Smithsonian-level musician, who could walk through any crowd without anyone batting an eye.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the fact the Eminem let us know Steve Miller is alive in 2024!... And as Mitch Hedberg (R.I.P.) once said: "I think it's funny that the guy who sings 'The Joker' is named Steve Miller and the guy who sings 'Fly Like an Eagle' is also named Steve Miller. Man, fame is weird, 'cause now everyone knows who Steve Miller is, but they still don't know what he looks like. I want to be famous like Steve Miller, but I don't want anyone to recognize me." 😂
