Review : In 2007 veteran rocker Steve Miller played two nights in Chicago at the Ravinia. With 35,000 fans in attendance, Miller and his band delivered some classic material such as "Wild Mountain Honey". The Steve Miller Band is set to release its first-ever DVD in February 2008 (on Koch Vision) entitled "Steve Miller Band Live From Chicago 2007". With almost 40 years of history and hits behind them, Steve Miller Band has churned out some of the greatest and most memorable anthems of their generation. Songs like "Fly Like An Eagle", "RockinīMe" and " and "Abracadabra". Take The Money And Run" still sound fresh today and continue to turn young fans on to the magic of the band's sound. One look at the audience that attended the band's two sold-out nights at Chicago's famed Ravinia, and it becomes clear that this is a group that continues to develop an ardent fan base while drawing long-time fans eager to hear their favorites time and time again. Steve Miller Band is as vital today as ever. The first DVD features 20 of the band's greatest hits along with a few rare gems captured live over two nights in glorious High Definition with 32 cameras.

Bonus features include behind the scenes footage a private tour of Chicago with Steve Miller a beautiful photo gallery and many other extras now available for the first time ever!

Review (The Movie Maniac) : 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.
