CANCELLED Steve Miller has been a monumental presence on the American music scene for more than half a century – and, in the course of that era, his releases have sold tens of millions of records and been streamed billions of times. Miller’s "Greatest Hits 1974-78" received the RIAA Diamond Award with sales of more than fifteen million copies. It is among the 25 best-selling albums of all time. At the start of his career, Miller was a mainstay of the San Francisco music scene that upended American culture in the late '60s. With albums like "Children of the Future," "Sailor" and "Brave New World," Miller perfected a psychedelic blues sound that drew on the deepest sources of American roots music and simultaneously articulated a compelling vision of what music - and, indeed, society - could be in the years to come. Then, beginning in the ‘70s, Miller crafted a brand of pure pop that was smart, polished, exciting and irresistible - and that dominated radio in a way that few artists have ever managed. Hit followed hit in what seemed like an endless flow: “The Joker,” "Take the Money and Run," "Rock'n Me," "Fly Like an Eagle," "Jet Airliner," "Jungle Love," “Swingtown” and “Abracadabra,” among them. To this day, those songs are instantly recognizable the moment you hear them - and impossible not to sing along with. Their hooks are the very definition of indelible. Please note: the San Diego Symphony Orchestra does not appear on this Rady Shell Special Concert.
