Steve Miller Band
My massage team has been massaging SMB for almost 3 years and this is the first time I got to meet and massage him. He was SO nice and when he walked into the massage room he was so full of praise, saying so many kind things, like "you got a great team, you run a tight ship, all of your girls have been terrific, I feel so much better on tour with them massaging me, etc.
He told me SO many amazing stories during his two hour massage- told me about hanging out with Hendrix and headlining for the Grateful Dead (the dead opened, then SMB played then Jimi- wow!) he also played a show once in Minnesota where Alice Cooper opened for them and said it was one of Alice's first show and how the crowd didn't know how to react with Alice. He just ate dinner the other night with Alice and told me just for fun they traded watches (they both collect them). He is just a nice guy, wow.
The show was, to my surprise, 90% BLUES!! He played Come On (which in my opinion was made famous by Jimi Hendrix) and many other great blues tunes- naturally he played his hits but you can tell he would just enjoy playing blues all night :)

Steve's band was the first one I ever saw in concert.
#41-Song For Our Ancestors, 11/68.
"Steve Miller would have been successful
in whichever period he came to prominence,
and he was with hits in the 70's, and the 80's.
For several albums in the late 60's, however this
rock pro had his game raised by the scene of which
he was a part. Opening the Steve Miller Band's
second, and best album, Sailor, "Song For Our
Ancestors" is Country Joe's, "Section 43," two
years, and a lot of record company investment
later: all creeping fog and bay atmosphere, with
a depth of field that we would now describe as
ambient.
The San Francisco Mime Troupe joined
Country Joe and the Fish, and the Steve
Miller Band at a benefit concert at California
Hall on Feb. 19, 1967.
Boz Scaggs,>"There was a little club called
the Matrix, on Fillmore Street, where we
worked out a lot of material. As a matter
of fact, even after I left The Steve Miller
Band, I played in the Matrix a number of times.
That was just a favorite room for Steve's band,
and his players."
