      Is this the guy that made the riff to ‘Fly Like an Eagle’ and ‘Dark Hours’ with his band sometime in the 70s? First heard of his music in Mindhunter on Netflix as a 2000s kid. Great artist.

      Miller is playing a tiny 12 string, not a solo instrument, but he is doing some cool stuff for his turn. Then John comes in with something playful and original, a perfect counterpoint that takes it to another level, then Steve’s voice takes us even further. Six minutes of pure joy.

      I was there too! I think it was the grand opening of the Meadowlands for concerts. A really hot day. I remember The Beach Boys came out onto the far side of the field in corvette convertibles and rolled slowly along the side to he stage. Saw the Grateful Dead there a few months later, another hot day in the sun, it was almost unbearable.

      In 1978, they released their biggest selling album in North America, Greatest Hits 1974-78, which has been certified 13× Platinum in the United States and diamond in Canada.

To see these two who have brought so much beautiful music to the soundtrack of my life at vastly different times in my life (Steve: college/ John: past to present) brings me, (I seriously had a few joyful tears sneak up on me) such great happiness. 🧩😢🥰 @johnmayer

    I remember the 8 tracks and no cassettes took over quickly. Speakers, the bigger, the better. CB radio with antennae whipping in the wind. Everybody had a name. "what's your handle?" Red Riding Hood (red hair). Hip hugger jeans that drug the ground, patches. We were cool! To be on stage, there had to be talent, not just good looks and autotune to make you sound good. Music not filthy like today. John has talent and can play his instrument. Enjoyed this SO-SO much. Thanks !

    • @paultiplea
      @paultiplea Před 8 měsíci

      ⁠@@christianlandrum892I’m sure it’s a great sounding guitar, but we’re not really hearing the guitar here (at least not it’s true acoustic tone), but rather the signal from the internal pickup/electronics which I’m sure get’s EQ’d pretty heavily before it comes out through the PA. If you really wanted to hear the guitar, a mic in front of the soundhole would be a better choice, but I understand that’s not practical or convenient for live performances like these.
