Fly like an eagle (Steve Miller Band) (LP 3224)

Steve Miller Band  Live 1973 - 1976 (CD, Plastic Soho Records, 2013) ***  

Genre: Pop, rock

Places I remember: The Warehouse

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Mercury Blues

Gear costume: Fly Like An Eagle 

They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1Part 2Part 3Part 4Part 5

Active compensatory factors: Both CDs are from radio broadcasts for the King Biscuit Flower Hour, so the sound quality is good, especially on the 76 portion. Actually, I can really recommend the 1976 disc, the 1973 one is flat in comparison and more concerned with his earlier blues rock style.

Steve Miller is captured on the 76 disc in the style more known by modern audiences so it's a worthwhile addition to the collection overall.

Where do they all belong? The best way to start is with the compilation because the hits kept on coming from 76 onwards. Young Hearts has 22 great radio hit slices - one after the other!
