The two documentaries are spot on and pretty good with mostly Steve Miller talking, a very humble musician.

STEVE'S STILL GOT IT !

"Now Steve Miller fans can experience him live without hopping on a big old "Jet Airliner" to Chicago to do it. Filmed before an enthusiastic crowd at the Ravinia Amphitheater in Chicago the Steve Miller "Live from Chicago" concert DVD is guaranteed to please fans of all ages. It's a magical night in Chicago and the band is in fine form as they "Fly like an Eagle" through twenty of their greatest hits. From the moment the concert starts until the last song is played fans realize they're in for a magical night they won't soon forget.

Filmed live in the summer of 2007 this concert DVD showcases the band like nothing I've ever seen or heard before. Its all hear in one fantastic show filmed with multiple cameras in high definition and the picture and sound definitely doesn't disappoint. The crisp playing by the entire band and great vocals from Steve Miller is proof of why fans still come to see him perform. He is such a class act that he even pauses to sign autographs for a couple fans before the last song is played. Hearing the band play Fly like an Eagle, Jungle Love and Jet Airliner was worth the price of this DVD set.

Koch Entertainment has to be commended for their efforts in bringing Steve Miller fans this live concert performance. The video and audio transfers of this concert are truly spectacular. The picture filmed in HD is crisp and clear and the colors are sharp and vibrant to say the least. The sound is crisp and clean and the 5.1 Dolby Digital and DTS sound absolutely rock! This incredible 3 disc set containing the concert DVD, bonus features DVD and audio CD is a definite must have for any Steve Miller Fan. My only complaint is with the disc packaging, the concert and bonus discs sit on top of one another making it tricky to take them out. If you're careful it shouldn't be a problem. I hope this information was helpful.

"THE STEVE MILLER BAND HAS ALWAYS BEEN A GREAT CONCERT SHOW.I'VE SEEN THE BAND 10 TIMES AND NEVER BEEN DISSAPOINTED. THIS CONCERT IS BY FAR THE BEST SHOW I'VE SEEN.THE CONCERT IS FILMED BETTER THAN ANY SHOW I OWN.THE BAND WAS SO TIGHT THAT THE CONCERT WAS OVER BEFORE I KNEW IT.THE MUSIC STANDS ALONE BUT THE EFFORT THAT WENT INTO THE PLAYING AND FILMING REALLY COMES THRU.

"I just want to say thanks to Steve and all the guys in his awesome band for this dvd which is fantastic from top to bottom. All the tunes you want are here and almost always exceed the originals. There is some great jamming going on here as all the players are great soloists and Steve is the generous boss who lets the fellas show off their chops. And the 'blues' segment in the middle is wonderful. The Jimmie Vaughan tune is a gem. A must own for sure. This is a no brainer. Buy it."
