  • basic vocab - our day in the sun

  • I just flew across a rainbow and glitter universe on a comet... and I'm sober.

  • Chiron to the rescue of Prometheus, chained to the mountain for giving illimination (fire) to mankind - or was it Hercules? Holding on for a Hero -

  • Comment removed

  • i miss being able to find good lsd in these times just like its hard to find good music but there both still out there ya man there out there

  • Space Jam *-*

  • can't be beat!!! thanks...lovely sounds on a lazy day!!!

  • Prometheus

    

  • I would have picked a different picture, though. Which man of mythology was chained to a rock and have his liver picked out...only to have it regrow and later, have it picked out again?

  • HELL YEAH Nuff' said

  • Gotta have the intro.

  • Given the intro and the ending this song gives me a spacetronic sense...

  • This version sounds better when your high than the radio cut

  • teen disco time ,very cool upl.

    holy vinyl(discogs)...the intro and 1st track is without cd cut on rec. ;-)

  • Everyday I am at work, I start to hum this song usually about 2pm:)

  • I love the extended version, THIS VERSION! Most times the radio will only play the condensed version. However, sometimes the TRUE local classic rock station will play THIS version. It really shouldn't be missed by any classic rock lover. I remember listening to this song on the radio when I was a REALLY little kid....like 4 or 5!

  • Kids smokin drinkin brings me back what a ride

  • all time favorite many memories of a better time

  • from 5:20-the end,, all i can think about is Michael Jordan jumpin into space and floatin on top of the world stretched out Jumpman style... very powerful image!!

  • sweeeeeeeeet intro never heard it this way!

  • The Hammond in this song/album is matched by no other. So perfect.

  • I was out back baking in the Texas sun trying to burn a tan on my Irish hide thinking about my girl who was off to summer camp up Texoma way when this first came across the solid state radio ...it was a gamechanger not seen since Joe's Rocky Mountain Way

  • This is an anthem, should be adopted by the 99%

  • That was an awesome video...but I have a question for you....have you ever seen a real UFO...you know from another world kind of UFO...do you even believe were being visited and have been for thousands of years? Well I just moved to this awesomely beautiful city in southern Utah, called St George and UFO's are alive and well here...don't believe me?...I filmed them and they are flashing rainbow colors..red, blue,yellow, green, and white, click on my moondawgee moniker under this box to see them.

  • The bird is going to suck his did yummy

  • @gabekfreitas

    his did? LOL!

  • Nice - I like that you added the intro. Thats what i was lookin for.

  • i am soooooooo high

  • I'm a big Steve Miller Fan and I LOVE THIS SONG!

    Maria Rossi

  • Cool ending...you never hear it much on the radio....and occasionally they will play the intro. You immediately recognize it when you hear it... the best part.

  • kool story i love mytholigy and and love the song so peaceful!!!!

  • it doesnt however it does have something to do with an eagle i like the painting and greek mythology....@jjobe555

  • I saw this live when i was 19 yrs old dont ask when that was im an old man but I must say of the literally 100's of bands ive seen this was one of the best shows I have seen.

  • I want to fly like an eagle

    To Promethee

    Fly like an eagle eat the liver that I see,

    I want to feast on his liver

    Till he quivers...

  • how does this song have anything to do with gods and livers???

  • Watch your liver!

    It's a scene from mythology. The gods were not amused!

  • Watch your liver!

  • I always love this song on a long drive.

  • is it me or is the eagle trying to get freaky....

  • TY so much for playing the intro to this tune!

  • God, finally the full version! Thank you =D

  • Thank you so much for posting this WITH the full "Space Intro" -- the way the song was written & needs to be played & heard!

    Ya done good.

  • @smartalek1 Hear hear!

  • @smartalek1 KGB 101.5 San Diego still to this day plays it all

    

  • @smartalek1 ya damn right, it's the only way 2 capture the full beauty of this song. the intro makes u feel like floating away

  • @smartalek1 lol set ur electric piano to the space setting and go from left to right.

  • @smartalek1 Exactly! I get so annoyed when I hear the Greatest Hits version, you're taking out an essential part that tells the whole musical story!

  • @smartalek1,

    ...and the full "outro"...

  • ♥ #Liberty ☼ #Libertad ♫ #Freiheit

  • Song-crafting genius.

  • Love this jam. I was 10 years old when it came out. Still have the album and the 45.

  • @Hamm331 Not a hater nor a supporter. I must ask after reading your post one simple thing.... WTF you talkin bout Willis?

  • c'est genial!!

  • Steve Miller is telling the truth. Time is slipping.

  • Where can I get this full version in MP3?? iTunes doesn't have it.

  • thanks for the full version

  • 6 people had there wings clipped

  • love the intro, but not so much the outro

  • STEVE MILLER WAS TALKING ABOUT SOME REAL ISSUES BACK THEN THATS STILL GOING ON FOR 40 YRS

  • Love this Rock Funk Fusion stuff, and these were good at it.

  • Comment removed

  • As much as I love this song, the intro is what really stands out. Too many radio stations don't play that part.

    I love the instrumental ending too! This song is so of it's time. Long live the 70's!

  • As much as I love this song, the intro is what really stands out. Too many radio stations don't play that part.

  • @bixbyglaser Apparently neither does iTunes.

  • @prossiack Fuck off troll, this is one of the best songs ever created.

  • if everybody heard this song as kids maybe the world would more awesome, peaceful , free.

  • The early bird.....

  • Sometimes I click on this just to hear the extended intro

  • I have got too get this on vinyl........take me back.....

  • Glad to see the Complete version up loaded. Great job

  • This is how I have it on my iPod. "Fly Like an Eagle" being Space Intro along with the complete fade-out psychedelic version of Fly Like an Eagle. I bought the FLAE album just to rip those two tracks and combine them because Greatest Hits 1974-78 didn't have Space Intro and Young Hearts didn't have the complete ending to the song.

  • One of the best songs ever recorded!

  • so so tight

  • I am glad that so much persons remote know for Prometheus.In the reality it was sacrificed by love for the humanity for many thousands years.it is said that together with the Godnes Athena they created the humanity giving in each existence the blow of life,symbolically placing a butterfly above in each mouth, as the human soul.if you want to learn more it exists the ancient Greek tragedy Prometheus prisoner.

  • 6 People Can't Fly

  • The long version is way better than the short version.

  • Pitty.many of good musicians died by airplaneaccedends......

  • It was 4th grade, our teacher said we could bring our favorite song on 45 to play on that Friday. I put it on and was the only one that liked it, the bullies in the class took it off and put on Blinded by the Light by Manfred Mann, I was pissed.

  • STEVE MILLER BAND---"FLY LIKE AN EAGLE"

  • Mr. Heidi Klum (Seal) slaughtered this timeless classic. In fact he shit all over it.

    SMB (the classic rock original) > Seal (the sucky pop cover)...by a landslide!!!

  • Wow! Thanks!

  • i love this song reminds are super mario bros and nintendo

  • Love this song...I hate it when people say that they hate this song! what the fuck! this is a classic! I also love it more because it was in space jam

  • this song is a drug on its own u just go on a trip just listenen 2 it

  • five dummies are not going to fly eagles.

  • Gettin lost in the music. This is pure bliss...SPACE JAM

  • y did seal mess this up?

  • It's rather sad that no one else but you has seemed to have figured out that it would be best to combine the space intro with the main song. All I see all over youtube is the space intro and fly like an eagle each in their own separate videos. I'm glad that I've stumbled onto the exception that is you. Epic thumbs up.

  • I might sound like an idiot, but is Prometheus some kind of angel?

  • "Tick tock, duh doo du doo doo"

    Fucking awesome. I'm slipping into the future like psychedelic ecto plasm.

  • I think this is the ONLY version with the awesome, trippy synthesized 1 minute intro.....It's so awesome. I don't even need to use drugs to feel like I'm floating...

  • Phycedelic mushrooms

  • When that guitar strikes at 1:15, its the first thunder in the rainfall. Can't be called a storm without it.

  • inter-species erotica...

  • @Pulledtriggerstudio2 The first 1:12 or so is actually called "Space Intro." It's listed on Young Hearts as a separate track. They usually cut it for the radio. On Greatest Hits '74-78, Steve actually cut Space Intro, then cut bits out of the rest of the song to make it only half the length. Which means it SUCKS.

  • Favorite stoner song.

  • 5 people cant fly like an eagle

  • Only worth listening to with the intro.

  • @eLLp619 cant even listen to the other version when u know theres one that has the intro

  • So this is where the song came from.Interesing, never knew it would come from Steve Miller Band

  • This is actually two songs, Space Intro and Fly Like An Eagle... Around 1:15 ish, you could hear the cutoff point, but one completes the other :)

  • @KekiEscobar305 Its the whole song, probably a audio problem, ive listened to this song 100 times and thats part of it

  • I love this song.

  • lol. i'm scared about this song O.o

  • Yes that is right, STOP SINNING !!!

  • This song is freakin' awesome! However, in the photo, it appears that the eagle is about to give this half-naked man a blowjob....

  • @madeinchina4tu

    yeah, well, I wont mention the greek mithology because probably everyone know what this eagle did to this man every day, even though I think a blowjob from this eagle could do a bit more damage, DAM!!!

  • @madeinchina4tu or a circumcision?

  • @madeinchina4tu that's Prometheus' mith, dude...

  • @madeinchina4tu youre fuckin stupid. grow up a little bit

  • @madeinchina4tu The eagle gives good beak.

  • @madeinchina4tu That's because it's a painting of Prometheus and the eagle Ethon. Prometheus had been punished by Zeus for bringing fire to mankind and chained to a rock. The eagle came by every day to eat Prometheus' liver, which grew back constantly. Not quite the same as a blowjob, I imagine ... :o

  • @Hellhexe You must be getting the wrong kind of blowjobs.

  • @sabremanx each morning ate him the eagle,the evening was again renewed and the next morning came again the eagle,each day the himself.

    Τhis was the martyrdom of Prometheus.

  • @Hellhexe oh well then that sounds nothing like a blowjob

  • @Hellhexe thats brutal

  • @Hellhexe it doesnt tickle

  • @madeinchina4tu This is the classical image of Prometheus, who was a Titan In Greek mythology, the son of Iapetus and Themis, and brother to Atlas. He was a champion of mankind, known for his wily intelligence, who stole fire from Zeus and gave it to mortals. Zeus then punished him for his crime by having him bound to a rock while a great eagle ate his liver every day only to have it grow back to be eaten again the next day... it is not a blowjob

  • Comment removed

  • @madeinchina4tu the eagle ate each day the liver of Prometheus.the sacrifice of Prometheus they was all what passed.afterwards from from many thousands years,released him the Hercules.

  • @madeinchina4tu or rip his dick off with that razor sharp beak.

  • @madeinchina4tu Yeah, and if you notice he's chained to that stone so he can't refuse!! lmao

  • @madeinchina4tu hahahahahahahahahaha that's it!

  • @madeinchina4tu You are an absolute pig and a childish retard.

  • Finally someone who has the full song and not just the old radio edit..

  • i was driving back home at 3 in the morning an this version starting to play.....man still gives me the chills

  • imagination is spurred from songs such as this.

  • Thank you, someone finally put the actual version on here! The intro is so awesome.

  • @jjenkins134 totally agree

  • I agree. It is better with the extended intro.

  • great song i hate when they cut songs the original version is always the best love this song it certanly rings true time keeps slipping into the future

  • Loved this album when it 1st came out, still love it to this day

  • The percussion in this song is so juicy

  • I went to this concert for my 19th Birthday! My Uncle John R.I.P and My Godmother Elva took me to the HOLLYWOOD BOWL for Earth day. The Beatles, The Eagles, The Crannberries and The Steve Miller Band Etc. I was surprised I was in the Viilage in Commerce Ca bored and they just swoop me up I was like What the Hizzo! 70's is the shhhizitz

  • Still one of the coolest elecrtonic keyboard passages of all time; second to 'welcome to machine' third maybe 'teenage wastland'.
