“This show from August of 1977 at the Cap Center in Landover, Maryland, captures the band right at the peak after ‘The Joker,’ and in the middle of ‘Fly Like an Eagle’ and ‘Book of Dreams,’ a stream of hits…We decided to call it Breaking Ground because that’s exactly what we were doing,” Miller shares.
Steve Miller Band Live! Breaking Ground: August 3, 1977 includes original liner notes by music journalist David Fricke who says – “Breaking Ground captures the Steve Miller Band on stage in one of their biggest years, 1977. They were at a perfect crossroads of psychedelic zeal and progressive, popcraft while staying true to Miller’s first love, the blues.”
