Taking a look back at the Steve Miller Band in 1978, performing at the Dane County Coliseum in Madison, Wisconsin.

Steve Miller's first band was started in 1966 and has had many transformations throughout the years. He is still playing! He was Wisconsin born and his Godfather was the great Les Paul!

The version shown here has two personal favorite musicians in the band.  They are Norton Buffalo who passed in 2009 and Leslie West who passed just last year.

This band was always having a fun time filling halls, arenas and what ever festival they played.

Steve has sold a lot of records and his greatest hits 1974-1978 album, that was released in 1978, sold over 13 million copies! One of them is downstairs and was recently played!

The photo with Leslie West is not the greatest but he was an amazing player so I had to include it.  He and Steve had a lot of fun playing together at this show. They also played together a year earlier at Milwaukee's Summerfest.

Enjoy a look at the guys in 1978.

Thanks,
