The Steve Miller Band with Paul Butterfield - Fillmore West, San Francisco, CA, 12-29-1968

I recently came across this Steve Miller Band concert bootleg that seemed relatively unknown on popular bootleg sites. The sound quality was excellent except for one major problem, but I was able to fix that problem, so here it is.

The problem I just mentioned is that the vocals were very low in the mix. Nowdays, that's usually an easy fix, thanks to programs like MVSEP. So I boosted the vocals volume relative to the instruments on all songs.

This concert took place at a time when the Steve Miller Band lost band member Boz Scaggs, so they were reduced to a trio for a while. But this was somewhat compensated by the fact that Paul Butterfield guested on harmonica for three songs.

This also was a time when the Steve Miller Band was much more into the blues than the later, much more famous, 1970s version of that band. Nearly all the songs are quite bluesy, with a mix of originals and covers. 

This album is 58 minutes long.

The cover art may seem odd at first, until I explain that the image comes from the concert poster for this exact concert. I had to make some adjustments to get the rectangular poster to fit into a square space. But most of that was trimming a lot of text that didn't really belong anyway. Instead, I added in my own text at the bottom, but I used the exact same font as on the original poster.
