Steve Miller Band Still Flying Like An Eagle

Thursday June 22, 2006
2006 marked the 30th anniversary of the release of Steve Miller Band's Fly Like An Eagle, one of the definitive rock albums of the '70s. To celebrate, the band released the 30th Anniversary Edition of their best known album, and went on a 24-date US tour.

The album was remastered in 5.1 Surround Sound and included three previously unreleased bonus tracks. Listen to audio streams here:

"Take the Joker and Run" (an acoustic version of “Take the Money and Run” sung over an early version of “The Joker”)

The original album was engineered for the short-lived Quadraphonic sound system. "With the Surround Sound mix," Miller says, "people will finally hear the album the way I originally intended it to be heard." Watch video streams of Miller's interview here:
