Keep On Rock’n Me: Steve Miller Band Unleashes Unreleased Goodies on “Welcome To The Vault” Box Set

June 13, 2019 By Sam Stone 6 Comments

PRE-ORDER FROM AMAZON.COM

The story of The Steve Miller Band presents a group that was always willing to move forward – from their blues roots in the late-’60s, to their slew of smash rock hits in the ’70s, to their explorations into pop and other forms in the decades since.  Now, more than 50 years since the band’s inception, The Steve Miller Band have announced an expansive 3-CD/DVD box set of rarities due October 11 entitled Welcome To The Vault.

Welcome To The Vault is the first-ever Steve Miller Band rarities collection and features 52 songs that span Miller’s career, including 38 previously unreleased recordings and 5 never-before-heard songs.  With demos, rehearsal takes, newly unearthed compositions, classic concert recordings, and more, Miller has dived into the vaults with a celebratory collection that’s bound to please any fan.  There are alternate takes of classics like “Rock’n Me,” “Fly Like An Eagle,” “Jet Airliner,” and “Space Cowboy,” alongside gems from their early lineup.  Among them are a 10-minute cover of Little Walter’s “Blues With a Feeling” from San Francisco’s Fillmore West and “Super Shuffle,” recorded at the band’s appearance at the Monterey Pop Festival.  The set also includes a new, big band version of “Take The Money and Run,” recorded with blues guitarist Jimmie Vaughan as part of the Jazz at Lincoln Center series.  Blues tunes also abound, including covers of Otis Rush, Robert Johnson, and Willie Dixon.  In an unexpected twist, the blues ace T-Bone Walker is also featured performing his hit “Lollie Lou” in Miller’s living room in 1952.  Rounding out the music is Miller’s own rendition of that tune, recorded at his T-Bone Walker: A Bridge from Blues To Jazz tribute concert.

The DVD is also a veritable treasure trove of rarities, featuring 21 performances.  There’s rare footage from Monterey Pop, a concert appearance at Fillmore West from 1970, and a 43-minute concert broadcast from New York’s Palace Theater in 1973.  There’s a collaboration with James Cotton from their 1974 appearance on ABC In Concert, a live rendition of “Abracadabra: from 1982, excerpts from the band’s Austin City Limits appearance in 2011, and footage of Steve Miller performing with his godfather Les Paul in 1990.

The discs are housed in a deluxe box accompanied by a 100-page book that includes photos from Miller’s extensive archive and a 9,000-word essay by David Fricke.  Miller has also thrown in guitar picks featuring his iconic Pegasus logo, and even an authentic backstage pass from the vault!

All told, Welcome To The Vault looks to be a must for Steve Miller Band fans with a wealth of unheard and hard-to-find material alongside a few trusty hits.  You can buy your copy in stores on October 11, or pre-order the set from the links below.  To whet your appetite, we’ve included a trailer for the box set and the new single, an alternate take of “Rock’n Me” – check it all out below!

He quickly began to learn all he could about rock and roll history and beyond, a passion that continues to this day. Sam followed his love for music to the classroom, earning a B.A. from Towson University in Electronic Media and Film, concentrating on radio and audio production, as well as an M.A. in Audio Arts from Syracuse University. He has put his knowledge and skills to work at prominent reissue labels and is excited to bring his perspectives on catalog music to a broader audience. When he’s not writing for The Second Disc, Sam can be found researching about music, talking about Joni Mitchell’s career, and adding another box set to his Amazon wish list.

    I read somewhere a long time ago that Rock’N’Me and (I think) Take The Money And Run each had each other’s melody? Like he swapped the words from both songs with the melody of the other at the last moment. Not sure how true it is.

      See if you can track down the bonus disc from the 30th anniversary release of Fly Like an Eagle. They’re both on there.
