This was one addition to my collecion, which I will cherish. He's at his best, awesome, and truly a wonderful purchase.
Rating: - Steve is the Greatest, but he doesn't know it
I saw the SMB in Clarkston, Michigan this year (2008) on June 27th with the addition of Sonny Charles (who Steve says is "like having Otis Redding in the Band") and that was even better than this DVD, but this DVD is by far the best recorded video of Steve, Norton, Kenny Lee, Joseph, Gordy and Billy that there is. The reason I say it is better this year is that Steve is the happiest I've ever seen him (and I've been a fan since 1968)in '08 but this '07 from Chicago is something he had to do, since that's where he cut his chops as is shown so faithfully in disc 2.
In that disc, you must watch both videos - the second is called the radio show but it is another version of the video which sheds more light on Steve's pre-SF giggin' and learning in Chi-town with Buddy Guy, Barry Goldberg, Howlin' Wolf (his story of going to Silvio's to see the Wolf with his friend is priceless - and sooo true as I can attest because I did a similar pilgrimmage in 1969 and the Wolf was amazingly hospitable and friendly...and yes his hands were soooo huge - like steaks, I would say), Muddy Waters, Junior Wells, Otis Rush, Corky Seigel, Paul Butterfield, Elvin Bishop, Jerome Arnold, Sammy Lay,etc. I also had a blues band in Ann Arbor and made several trips to Chicago in the late 60's/early 70's. What's amazing to me is how honest and true Steve's recollection of the place, the scene, the personalities were. He even mentions Bob Koester of Delmark Records (who I also met and spoke with at length one day) ... Read More

The show was great. Steve had really good players w/him.. With all the music he has recorded I don't know why he has to throw in copy tunes of other bands even if they were some of his fav. musicians. The only other thing about the dvd I didn't like was the price was a little high compared to other dvds. Sound was very good & the venue looked very nice. The cameras liked blonde women in the audience.. lol.
Rating: - Must Buy!
I recently saw Steve Miller Band perform live in concert in San Francisco, so when I heard they were releasing a new cd/dvd, I just had to get it. I'm so glad I did! Excellant CD! It has most of his greatest hits. The DVD is great to watch. Its about 90 minutes long and it pretty much is identical to the concert that I saw him perform in March 08. I highly recommend this collection, you wont be disappointed!!
The only part of the entire CD I didnt care much for was the version of "Fly like an Eagle" which incorporated some rap lyrics from their keyboardist. The rap music was done tastefully, but personnally I dont care for rap and think SM should have left it out. Other than that, EXCELLANT gift set!!!!!!
Rating:  - Warning: REMOVE DISKs CAREFULLY
Love the concert but the audio CD snapped upon first removing as it was extra tight. I actually give it 5 stars but posted 1 star to draw attention to let people know to be more careful than I was when removing the disk.
