Steve Miller - 1982-08-02 - Rotterdam, Netherlands (FM)

Steve Miller released his 12th studio album, entitled Abracadabra, on June 15, 1982. The disc went to #3 on the Billboard charts, while the title track climbed all the way to #1 on the singles charts, his third song to accomplish that feat, with The Joker and Rock'n Me being the other two (Note - Fly Like An Eagle stalled at #2). This soundboard recording captures Miller in Rotterdam just a few weeks after the release of the album, on August 2, 1982, 38 years ago today. 

Steve Miller/Jerry Garcia Connections

• Believe it or not, Steve Miller actually sat in with the Grateful Dead on at least 5 occasions during their 1992 summer tour, where Miller was the opening act. In some ways, that’s surprising, as Miller had gone a far more commercial route in the 1970s and 1980s than the Dead had. 
• That said, both bands emerged from the 1960s San Francisco music scene, with Miller and The Dead appearing on the same bill as early as 1966!
