Here is my souvenir of the Steve Miller Band's wonderful gig at Tanglewood, which I attended with my family. I recorded from the left side (stage right) of the Koussevitzky music shed, facing the PA stacks from pretty far in the back, thus the sound is a bit distant and boomy, but clean. A couple of ladies in the seats to my right decided to clap along a couple of times�thankfully their sense of rhythm wasn�t too bad. Occasionally the voice of my young daughter appears. Basically I made this recording as a personal souvenir since I figured�perhaps incorrectly�that someone in the nice orchestra seats will certainly be packing a recorder. After seeing that nothing of the sort was appearing on torrent sites, I decided to clean up my recording as much as possible and share it.

I did what I could with EQ, compression, and limiting to make this recording as listenable as possible. I am hoping that someone in the nice seats recorded the show and will feel moved to share their recording. Until such a recording appears, this one here is nonetheless a complete document of the concert--but likely more for the die-hard Steve Miller fan than the casual listener.

This was my first Steve Miller concert, so pretty much everything was a highlight to me. I really enjoyed seeing him play electric sitar on Wild Mountain Honey with full band backing, whereas he played that tune solo acoustic in Europe last fall (as the Berlin recording attests). It was great hearing the band's moody interpretation of Otis Rush's All Your Love, a song that I last heard played live by Otis Rush in 1981 (my torrent of that show is still active at:). All in all, I was thrilled to finally hear Steve Miller live--something that had eluded me the past 36 years, since I started seeing shows. Thank you, Steve Miller and band!

Share, enjoy, but don't sell or buy this recording.
