Nicky Hopkins shines here, thanks for posting

[JCRogersable]

There are no words to express the power of this song...

[Faithwitness]

Awesome song!!

[BarbCoop71]

My absolute, all-time number one favorite song of all time - absolutely breathtaking...

[Faithwitness]

@BarbCoop71 It is so good!!

[kokomoization]

Julian Dawson (Author), Klaus Voormann (Foreword)

@kokomoization Cool! Great keyboards!!

[orses4corses]

Brilliant track from Steve's best Album. You can really get lost in this.

[petsounds75]

For such a strong and exceptional melody, the lyrics sound like they were written in a five minute rush.

Oh well. Like any of us could do any better!

[StratoBlaster420]

Smoke a little green to this and let it hit you deep ;)

[serpentineflame]

@StratoBlaster420 It hits me deep

[sianlovescats]

Thanks again, RG. I had a couple of his albums years ago and he really does work magic on that keyboard. A time when music really was worthy of making you gasp.

[sianlovescats]

My earliest introduction to Steve Miller. Loved this song, especially the piano. Is it Nicky Hopkins?

[recordguy4321]

@sianlovescats Oh yes it's Nicky and may I say one of his greatest contributions on record Whether it was the Stones Kinks Who Quicksilver Airplane, and tyoo many to mention, the man was a keyboard genius. RIP always Sir Nicky.

This Is Early Steve Miller (1969)

[bryanswagerty]

God, what happened to this era? It is sorely needed now.

[MichaelWatsonGod]

Why hasn't someone with a really strong voice re-made this jewel?

[westrokker]

@MichaelWatsonGod cant imagine anyone else singing it...

[MichaelWatsonGod]

This song is one of Steve Miller's best, funny too because it's a keyboard song. Hopkins did a fine job. Howevver there really is some good pickin too.

[firstshirt434]

If I could play this piano riff and solo, I would be forever happy!

[earthlakelady]

finally found this after I remembered the name and Nicky Hopkins; what a great piano solo ..

[anonymouslolxD]

@earthlakelady Another fantastic piano solo by him is Blues Deluxe when he was in the Jeff Beck Group.

[orses4corses]

Steve Miller's Masterpiece Album although all his early albums are amazing! He helped shape the way forward. Thanks Steve.

[sillybear969]

Thank you!

Much Love

Nicky was my piano hero too. Everybody from Quicksilver and the Airplane to the Stones, The Who, Miller and Jeff Beck used his talents. Once upon a time Miller was actually relevant.

I miss Miller when he mattered. Those days are long gone...

[dandelion1967]

@bendbadgersteve @finbarfay Nicky is my hero too! I just can't get enough of Nicky's piano... each new song I hear is amazing... I listen to "Following the river" on the new Exile' edition with my eyes full of tears... is like if he was alive, rocking the piano. Wherever you are, God bless you, Nicky, and thank you

[serpentineflame]

@dandelion1967 didn't know he played on that exile song, I love that song too. this song always blew me away and that piano work is like a storm

[finbarfay]

My piano hero - Nicky Hopkins - shines on this tune; among his best efforts.

[yensidtun]

one of steve miller's best before he began to make it big and began to make those pop songs....

[TheJonnyc1]

love the nicky hopkins piano solo

[absoluteabsence]

An absolutely beautiful song from Steve...One of his greatest before all the commercial stuff - Listen to 'Seasons' & 'Brave New World' also...And listen to Steve's first 5 LP's!
