Steve Miller Band - "Fly Like an Eagle" - Live, 1973
In 1973, the weekly Don Kirshner's Rock Concert TV show was a new show with a new concept: it was a taped show, but it was live-to-tape, recordings of live performances.
At the time the TV show debuted, Steve Miller Band were already veterans, with a nine album catalog. But one of SMB's best performances on a 1973 episode of the series was one of their first performances of a song that they had not yet recorded. In fact, it would be three more years before it would appear as the title track on what would become the band's best selling album.
As you watch and listen to "Fly Like An Eagle" remember that this was recorded live, no overdubs, no do-overs.
