    What a bright, erudite and knowledgeable man. A very interesting interview with someone who has 'been there' & 'done that' Thank you Steve Miller!
  • @BluesLicks101
    Steve is genuine rock and roll: I love the way he got into the RR Hall of Fame and proceeded to rip them a new one over the shitty way they treat musicians. Long overdue!

    I'm such a fan. It was actually my father, who wasn't even a Rock n' Roll fan, who bought me my first Steve Miller Album for my Birthday. He only liked three Rock acts.That was October of '73, I was 15, and the Joker was the Album. He also bought me my first CCR and Harry Nilsson album. Here's to you, Dad! God rest your soul...

    An interviewer who allows his subject to fully answer the questions! What a breath of fresh air! Add to this a set of intelligent questions and you have a compelling interview with a very interesting Steve Miller. I now want to check out the rest of the Sweetwater channel.

    I love Steve Miller and have since I heard his 1968 LP , "Sailor. " What a great LP! So many wonderful hits! Living in the USA, Space cowboy, Dear Mary, and so on. Steve is easy to listen to and very mellow. This was a great interview and I am so happy to learn of Steve's past and his influences, plus the enormous list of greats that he knew and worked with throughout his life and career. Steve is a rare talent and has entertained me and brought me happiness through his music for so many years. Thank You, Steve ! I think you're a great guy and may God Bless you always.

  • I love listening to Steve Miller interviews!!! He's always got the best stories, Genuine Ear Candy!!!
  • Great to come across this vid. Steve's a legend, so good to hear about his background in the blues etc, a truly wonderful singer songwriter, The Joker what a song, one of the best.
  • Fascinating. I've been listening to Steve Miller for 40 years, and somehow I feel like I just met him. GREAT interview. Much appreciation.
  • His conversational voice sounds just like his singing voice. Dude is so authentic.

    Steve Miller is the perfect example of the “overnight success” who had been playing since age five, for 35 years when suddenly everyone knew who he was, one of the 20 or so artists who made rock what it is. Fabulous interview.

    He’s the only one where I turn it all the way up, every single time he comes on! First 6 albums are genius and he’s always been so humble and real since day one! He also was pretty much the first person to get a grant from the record label to build his own studio and diy his own album!

    I had no clue of how diverse Steve Miller was. How he truly lives and breathes music to it fullest. One of my favourites..

    Mitch knows how to interview. Let's the guest speak more then asks great per-tenant questions that people want to know the answers to. You make the interview all about the subject Mitch way to go and very informing, never a disappointment. This was another great one of a classic artist, very insightful. Truly thank you.
  • steve miller is a big part of why I wanted to be a musician,my mother and I would ride around for hours and hours listening to him on 8 track tape in a pinto,,the man is a true American icon
  • Now you know why Steve Miller can bash the rock n roll hall crew. The guy is sincère honest and a hard working dude. Not a bad guiter player, performer, writer. Thankyou sir.
  • @thomask9884
