Originally recorded at CBS in San Francisco, California, Steve Miller for took his love for the Blues for this and its sister project, Book of Dreams.

Also what a tremendous "GIFT" this Steve Miller Masterpiece will make any true fan.

In turning to mainstream pop rock, he became a huge star and developed the knack for delivering high-quality three-minute songs that were perfect for FM Radio.

The Album is linked by Miller’s fascination with electronic sounds sandwiched between the irresistible title track, (Fly Like An Eagle), The Bonnie & Clyde tale of Take The Money And Run - the riveting - Rockin’ Me - and the subdued - The Window - with its quirky lyric “ask my baby what she wants to be - she says a monkey in a tree.” His Baby replies “yhere’s nothing greater than love”, true enough.

Personnel: Steve Miller (vocals, guitar, sitar, Roland organ); Lonnie Turner (bass); Gary Mallaber (drums, percussion).
Additional personnel: Curley Cooke (guitar); Les Dudek (slide guitar); Kenny Johnson (drums).
Recorded at C.B.S. Studios, San Francisco, California.
 
Miller forsook his love of the blues for this and its sister project Book Of Dreams. In turning to mainstream pop/rock he became a huge star and developed the knack of delivering high-quality three-minute songs that were perfect for FM radio. The album is linked by Miller's fascination with electronic sounds, sandwiched between the irresistible title track, the Bonnie and Clyde tale of 'Take The Money And Run', the irritatingly simple 'Rock 'n' Me' and the subdued 'The Window', with its quirky lyric 'ask my baby what she wants to be, she says a monkey in a tree'. His baby replies 'there's nothing greater than love', true enough. After all, it was Miller who rhymed 'northern California' with 'girls are warm yeah'.

STEVE MILLER SHAKE YOUR TREE DOUBLE LP SET - LIVE

This superb live broadcast, aired by KSAN FM (aka Jive 95) on June 1st 1973 from the Record Plant studios in Sausalito, captures The Steve Miller Band in fantastic form at the beginning of their most successful period. Soon after this broadcast, their irresistibly infectious single 'The Joker' became a massive hit -- reaching No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and driving the album of the same name to platinum status. Formed in 1966, The Steve Miller Band were soon signed by Capitol Records and released their first album Children of the Future the following year, quickly followed by their second LP Sailor a mere month later. Amongst the highlights are Miller's own 'Living in The USA' and a cover of Johnny 'Guitar' Watson's 'Gangster of Love' -- live versions of both are included here. This performance also draws heavily on the 1969 album, Brave New World ('My Dark Hour', 'Space Cowboy', 'Kow Kow' and 'Seasons'), whilst third album Number 5, released in November 1970, is represented by 'Jackson-Kent Blue's' and 'Going To The Country'. It was with 1973's The Joker however that The Steve Miller Band were propelled into the big time on a truly international scale, with the aforementioned title track, as well as 'Mary Lou' and 'Shu Ba Da Du Ma Ma Ma Ma' all played at this event. 'The Joker' single hit the No.1 spot for a second time in 1990 -- this time on the UK chart -- when it was featured in a Levi's jeans advertising campaign. Featuring several more picks from across their catalogue this excellent live broadcast will appeal to fans both new and old as a fitting tribute and a delightful representation of The Steve Miller Band in its finest form.

I love the fact that this specific performance is now in my possession. The first incarnation of the SMB that I saw was this one. That show was at the Madd Hatter in Louisville, KY in Oct. 1973 (a month before The King Biscuit recording). I am a staunch Steve Miller fan and can find elements to like in even the shakiest of SMB offerings (cf., Rock Love).

Which brings me to this problematic LP SET. The actual recording is all over the place. The sonic stage slips and slides and has a tendency to wander to "stage left" (i.e. right earful). There is at least one very noticeable shift from one tape recorder to another mid-song. Even so, the performances through headphones are exciting.

Gerald Johnson on bass guitar is incredible. Dickie Thompson on keyboards is deft and solid. Jack King on drums provides his most excitingly supportive performance on a SMB recording with this line-up. As expected Steve is everywhere and gives evidence to underpin his claim to being the leader of the outfit bearing his name.

In my opinion this could have been a nearly definitive document of this version of the SMB, if the recording had been consistently good, rather than occasionally spot-on. If you are a completist, then you must already have the bootleg. If you are an old school SMB fanatic, then it is a must have.
