[azcactus2008]

I think jake83777 was the first to use the word. I think it's an industry term now HAAAAA.

[rockzulla]

please tell me who came up with the kick-ass-o-meter i like it.

[jlindholm19]

Wow, romantic and breezy. Thanks Azcactus for choosing such great pictures. Keep up the great work=)

[DaveWollenberg]

Steve and the band hit #24 in Billboard, 12-12-81. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

[rockzulla]

does stevie guitar miller even make a bad song, i think not it's just too bad that some of steves albums are so hard to find now a days. ever since i heard in 1976 fly like an eagle i fell in love with steve's music now i call myself his biggest fan of all time i don't believe any one loves this mans music the way i do.i'm a fanatic steve miller fan, and have seen him so many times in concert i've lost count thank for the music steve, and keep on making great music like i know you will.

thx

[jake83777]

I hear "The Joker" & "Rock 'n Me" 50 times a day but a song like "Heart Like A Wheel" is never played despite it ranking high on the kickassometer...

[azcactus2008]

@jake83777 Is it an industry term; "kickassometer", if not, I liked it anyway.

[jake83777]

@azcactus2008 Glad you liked it...Watching the video & hearing the song made me invent that word last night...I think you'll agree with me that there should be a kickassometer...Thanks for posting this excellent song...

[exitoyfama]

@jake83777 and "joker" no like you ????? joker no te gusta????

[ACERAMGAD]

Damn that's good stuff!)))))))

[Rightsideup]

Steve is such a cool dude. This song oooozes a good time.

[whiteboy1815]

Constructive criticism: I thought it was a good job, the only thing I'd try to do is make your pictures change more closely with the music, and maybe add a few nice little effects to go along with it. But this is real good for a first go-round. :D

[azcactus2008]

Thanks for the feed back. I made this one over 2 years ago. I know the video part sucks. To be honest, I just slapped the pictures up, so I could get the song on youtube. So I did NO planning on when the pictures changed at all. I've thought about re-doing the whole thing, but there is no sense in doing that because the music is what people really want. Thanks again for the feedback. If you'd like, check out the other two vids I did.

[Eddie62070]

Steve RULES!!!

[4wenz7]

omg!!!! the best of all the best best!!! heart like a wheel, circle of love, rockin me baby, abracadabra, winter time, tnx AZCACTUS , love and more power !!! DWRT FAN fr. the island of the PHILIPPINES

[Schon2112]

Steve Miller Band Is U.S.A! Truley ONE Of The Best! He put on GRET shows and wrote Timeless Songs! Thanks for the posting! Great Pics!!!

[RobRogers1968]

awesome song from one of the greatest.Thanks for posting its one of My favs.

[chilcox]

This has always been one of my fav Steve Miller tunes. Now it's one of my favorite tubes. Right on and well done.

[b50richard]

Wow, great Steve Miller song! And even today with some gray hair showing, the guy still Packs em in and rocks! Great slide show too, my hats off to ya!

[erinn144]

that's some pre-tty good guitar playing- my favorite Steve song too, i love sleeper hits

[katydid26]

Yaaay!! My all-time favorite Steve Miller Band song! THANKS for posting!

[MrPostmod]

The problem with the SMB live is the crowd sings along with every song. I guess it draws in the younger generation to his radio stuff. But Steve Miller always puts everything into every song. He's a real pioneer!

[Thegumpsta]

Wait, why is the crowd singing along bad?

[MrPostmod]

I guess it's a sign of the times. Forgive me for speaking out of place. But the SMB is a kick ass band. Maybe it's a matter of taste but I like the sound from the stage better than the drunken crowd that I paid to hear. I certain hope SM recieved plenty of tribute for all his fine work just the same. A bar band needs sing alongs to get them through the night.

[gittahfiend]

the absolute BEST song steve miller ever wrote !

[jeffcampbell103]

great job on a great "unknown" song.

The original video is out there, if one looks. I just watched it on Veoh for the first time in years.

[azcactus2008]

Thanks

[worldbfree2121]

I literally SHUTTER when he sings "Come on and Ro-oo-oo=ol." I mean what key is that???

I couldn't stand this song when I was a kid. I just to come back for another try. Gaak.

[kenmeerlivermaile]

It's a deliberate hound-dog harmony note. If you actually had an ear for rudimentary music, you'd express your dislike (for one can only like what one likes and that's how it should be) with something less revealing of your musical ignorance than "what key?"

Me, I love this tune.

[azcactus2008]

The comment from worldbfree2121, is the first negative comment I've received since posting this video. I'd say you put them in their place. LOL "Come on and RoooooLLLL" !!!!!

[zachhoran]

Delbert did have a top 10 hit in 1981 with Giving it Up for your Love. I suspect that was played at rock radio at the time.

[MrDJ521]

Thanks so much for posting--it's my fav SMB tune. YOU ROCK!!

[icredd]

Hey, where's the cool video i remember from the old MTV days?

[azcactus2008]

I don't know where the cool video is. That's why I had to put together this lame video so I could share the song with others.

[doofus0123]

I was thinking it might be the one Linda Ronstadt did all those years ago.

[azcactus2008]

This song is one of the many gems to be found. I love it when someone hears it for the first time here. Glad you like it so much.

[doofus0123]

wow this is a great tune - I've never heard it before now. very crisp sound.

[jarirusi]

On what Steve's record I can find this ? Great tune.

[azcactus2008]

Circle of Love.

[jarirusi]

Ok, thanks. I must go and pick this one up. I neglected that album mostly because of Macho City but obviously it includes few of these kind of songs then I'm pleased.

[mjw191]

My uncle has still got the vinyl album this track came from!!

This really brings back the memories..great post!!

[daddyoj]

FYI- Steve was taught guitar by Les Paul, the inventor of electric guitar and the recoeding console both. My dad was his drummer. He once told me "See Eddie (Van Halan) playing strictly for speed. It is not that. Its about STYLE. Go look at Stevie 3 chord Miller. I taught him ,and he has #1 s because of that STYLE ! 3 chords dont matter Jay, its STYLE !

[SSKID65]

Great song! Love it! Steve is awesome on guitar! Thanks for posting!

[Pinchysandcrab]

Great song....havent heard it in a while! Thanks Sherry for share!

[fluffydolly]

LOVE THIS SONG!! finally someone else remembers this video like it was yesterday!who could forget those neon hearts?! please bring back the 80s!! Thanks for posting and rock on.

[azcactus2008]

You're welcomed.

[dunskie]

I have been DYING to catch this on youtube.

Thanks for posting!

Finally!

I WISH someone would post the video.

I remember it from MTV. Him chasing a hot chick down the highway in old corvettes I think right?

The Heart was the hubcap at the end?

"Heart so real...I lo-o-ove you so." I love that bit.

GREAT tune!!!!

[azcactus2008]

I know the video I posted sucks; but all I wanted was to get the music on youtube. I'm happy for you that you got your wish. Take care.

[katydid26]

I agree. I LOVE this song!! Heard it on the radio years ago, maybe 3 times.... then, that was it. Never again.

Thanks so much for posting!

[GenXer68]

I saw this way back in 1980 on MTV too. Always loved the heavy reverbed Strat solo. One of their best songs and it NEVER got any radio play!

[azcactus2008]

There is so much great music that no one ever gets to hear, either from known groups/people or new singers. Radio sucks. Years ago I stumbled onto some Delbert McClinton "Never Been Rocked Enough". A great CD. I called a Chicago radio station to see why they didn't play his stuff. The guy said , it's because they don't know what genre of music he is; country, rock? I said, "how about GOOD". He laughed and said he understands my frustration with people who think they know better than us slobs.

[Obelisk2290]

I remember the video it was ONTV the first cable system in miami a movie chanel with soft core porn after midnight for $19.99 back in 1980.

[nov20five]

I remember this video - with the two classic Corvettes! Someone please post it. Thanks for the song and slideshow!

[traveler1165]

thanks for posting!!! One of the great songs!!! Why wasn't this more popular??!!

[cbl2718]

This is my all-time favorite Steve Miller song- it takes me back to crazy youth. Thanks!

[PrickLivingston5]

Thanks for posting this!

[azcactus2008]

You are welcome.

[huggybear2000hug]

I have the video on tape somewhere I have i can find it, old MTV.

[azcactus2008]

Post it if you still have it.

[basemalt]

Yea, I was hoping to get the video. I don't remember exactly what it was about, but I liked it. It was in rotation on MTV way back in the good old days when they actually played videos. The song is even better than I remembered. Tanks.

[klw8131]

I've never seen him in concert. Does he perform this song?

[azcactus2008]

Since I've never seen SMB in concert, I couldn't tell you if he does this song. I can only imagine he would, because it's such a great song. If anyone has seen him in concert , let us know.

[klw8131]

There was a video to this song.

[azcactus2008]

Yes, I know about it. I hope someone knows where to find it and post it.

[gilles19522]

very good rock thank you

[beacon11867]

If, not id. Opps.

[azcactus2008]

??????

[beacon11867]

There was a video for this song when Circle of Love was released. It would be great id it could be archived somehow.

[azcactus2008]

I know which one you are talking about, it had a guy and girl driving a red and a white older model Corvette. I've looked all over for that thing. Hope someone posts it soon.

[azcactus2008]

I'm considering remaking this video, as this was my first try at making a video. I had no form or fashion on the pictures I put up. I just wanted to get the song on youtube as fast as I could. I just found pictures of Steve to put up, repeating most all of them. I hope you enjoy the new one. Any comments on this new idea, let me know.

[halls4uall]

Steve and Band are AMAZING in concert !!!

[woj50]

[flibideegibbit]

great pick song wise, his best Duane Eddy tribute.

[azcactus2008]

Duane Eddy rocks!

[joltinjack]

Azcactus2008, I hope you don't mind me putting up a road sign (I was your 1st commenter). YouTube now has another "unique rock/roll song"... A Dose of Rock N Roll (Ringo Starr).

Az: I haven't learned how to do the stills yet. LOL! What I like about my song was simply its playtime in the mornings, when I was getting ready for school my Senior year.

Whatever... Take care, man.

[azcactus2008]

My next video project will be the song "Nada" from The Refreshments. They are broken up now, but they were a fun band to listen to. Plus they are Arizona natives. Lots of western and desert lingo. This video will rock. Pardon my ignorance, but I don't know what a road sign is. Please clue me in. LOL

[joltinjack]

I look forward to your project. This Steve Miller one you did will be hard to top (good images and transitions)

I will rummage around my stuff and maybe put up a few more songs that are "unique" to YT. Perhaps some like the "Refreshments", i.e., bands in GA that never made the big time, or were one-hit wonders.

[azcactus2008]

I just finished the Refreshments video. It's amazing what you can do with an iMac! ENJOY

[TerrytownGRl]

Wow, what a blast from the past! I didn't think anyone but me remembered this gem from Steve Miller. Thanks for the song!

[fredfordguy]

good job on the pics, excellent song...

[FUNBUSTED1]

bad ass song...

[jollyrodger33]

I love Steve Miller music. I was a hard-nosed football player in high school and college, and I ain't no fag, so don't get me wrong.

This man really connected with my soul with his music.

Thats the greatest guitar playing I have ever heard...PERIOD!

[azcactus2008]

There's nothing wrong with being connected with great music. I'm glad you enjoyed it so much.

[MrDJ521]

One of my favorite Steve Miller tunes...thanks so much for posting.

P.S.-Great audio, too.

[steverockwell3]

great song!

[joltinjack]

Thanks, Azcactus! I had requested that someone post this on "The Joker" video. This is my favorite of all Steve Miller songs.

If this is your first venture at this, then I recommend you do more!

Again, great job, friend.

[azcactus2008]

Thanks for the encouragement. I have a bunch of hard to find songs I'll try to upload. I just bought a new computer with all kinds of cool features, so keep an eye out for more stuff from me. Take care.
