Coming May 14, the Steve Miller Band will offer fans a recording of a previously unreleased archival concert recording. The new live record is titled Steve Miller Band Live! Breaking Ground: August 3, 1977. The show is also available for fans to order on CD or vinyl; in addition, a concert video of the show will be released on Amazon Prime as pard of their Coda Collection.
“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… We decided to call it ‘Breaking Ground’ because that's exactly what we were doing,” Miller said in a press release.
Music journalist David Fricke described this era of the Steve Miller band as “perfect crossroads of psychedelic zeal and progressive,” according to a press release. Fans can view the trailer for this virtual concert experience on YouTube, as well as a live recording of “Jet Airliner,” both of which dropped this week in preparation for the concert release.
