Lonnie Turner Anchors Archival Steve Miller Band Release
A new archival release from the Steve Miller Band showcases the band near the peak of their success. Steve Miller Band Live! Breaking Ground: August 3, 1977 captures the group’s legendary lineup from that year they went from playing ballrooms to arenas.
“This show from August of 1977 at the Cap Center in Landover, Maryland, captures the band right at the peak after ‘The Joker’, and in the middle of ‘Fly Like an Eagle’ and ‘Book of Dreams’, a stream of hits,” Miller states. “We decided to call it ‘Breaking Ground’ because that’s exactly what we were doing.”
That lineup includes the late Lonnie Turner, who co-founded the band with Miller in 1966, on bass. Together, the band tears through hit after hit from Miller’s catalog, including “Take The Money and Run”, “Jet Airliner”, “Fly Like an Eagle”, and more.
In addition to the audio release, the full concert video can be streamed via The Coda Collection on Amazon Prime.
Steve Miller Band Live! Breaking Ground: August 3, 1977 is available now on CD, vinyl and as a digital download (iTunes and Amazon MP3).
