Stevie Guitar

Ride for Independence :: June 9th, 2007
Featuring Steve Miller Band and Robbie Knievel

...............................................................................................
My first concert was Nightranger opening for Journey at Frawley Stadium in August, 2001 (Journey bassist Ross Valory previously recorded with Miller's band on Rock Love*). Wilmington's minor league stadium seats 6,500 and seemed like a great summer venue.

Miller is in his early 60's, and Fly Like an Eagle celebrated it's 30th anniversary last year. I eagerly anticipate the performance nonetheless. Yet another fading musical talent whose heyday had come and gone long before I arrived on the scene, it's cool to see SMB touring at all - let alone in Wilmington, DE.

*Another notable SMB graduate: Boz Scaggs (guitar/vocals) on Children of the Future/Sailor. Everything is connected.
