4.0 out of 5 stars Great but could have been better, June 1, 2008

By	Music fan "archie" (Tracy, California United States) - See all my reviews

I was very excited to hear that this was coming out as I have seen Steve Miller in concert and it was great. This DVD is well done with good sound. As others have stated, the band is in good form. I do have a few problems with it though.
1) The documentary is interesting and it was nice to hear Steve talk about his past in Chicago but I felt the person conducting the interview was a complete waste. It was nice to let Steve do most of the talking but on the other hand, the lack of actual questioning almost made him seem uncomfortable. The shots of the interviewer just nodding his head were also not needed.
2) Song selection. While I can appreciate the need for Steve to pay tribute to his blues roots with the 3 covers, I felt short-changed by the lack of material from some of his albums. Nothing from Italian X-rays, Born 2 B Blue, Livin' in the 20th Century and Wide River and even the widely regarded mis-fire Circle of Fire. Not only are there hit songs on most of these albums, but there are good blues tracks.
3) The rap section during Fly Like An Eagle is oddly out of place.

I still give this package a high rating because of the value for the $ and even with the above albums not represented, you still can't go wrong. At least the cover songs were well performed.

5.0 out of 5 stars STEVE'S STILL GOT IT !, February 2, 2009

By	THE CRITIC "MOVIE MANIAC" (Windsor, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews

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.
