I love the album version because I can sing whatever verse I want to after “Threshold.” This is one of my karaoke tunes anyway. Saw Steve Miller in La Crosse in 2014 and the band sounded as good as ever.

"Jungle Love" is a 1977 song by the #SteveMillerBand, featured on the album #BookOfDreams. It was written by Lonnie Turner (longtime bass player for the Steve Miller Band) and #GregDouglass (a well-known San Francisco sideman who also played with #HotTuna and #GregKihn, among many others). It reached No. 23 on the #Billboard Hot 100. According to Greg Douglass, he and Turner wrote the song for #DaveMason, who turned it down.

Out on deck for a bit on this fine Wednesday evening and found a version of this tune that’s not really an extended mix so much as the instrumental part off the album edited together a few times so you can sing it before Steve does which I don’t mind ‘cause I can work on harmonies. For the helluvit. It’s just me out here - I don’t give a shit! 😉

I saw The Steve Miller Band in La Crosse, Wisconsin during the summer of 2014 and this is but one of the tunes they friggen hit out of the ballpark.

Book Of Dreams
The Steve Miller Band release their 10th on May 6, 1977. It's one of the band's most successful albums and is -- like all the others -- produced by Steve himself. While anytime's a good time, this album does best (IMHO) turned up well with the windows open or the top down. Listen to Book Of Dreams by The Steve Miller Band on Amazon Music ... #thestevemillerband #bookofdreams #70smusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #70srock #rockmusic #classicrock…

It’s definitely a Steve Miller-type tuneage feel out on deck at the moment. 😎

#NoFunkyShitInTheCityGoodbye to all my friends at home
Goodbye to people I've trusted
I've got to go out and make my way
I might get rich you know I might bet busted
But my heart keeps calling me backwards
As I get on the 707
Ridin' high I got tears in my eyes
You know you got to go through hell
Before you get to heaven -
Yes, I believe I will sing along with Steve this mornin’ as I shuffle about.

Got to see The Steve Miller Band in 2014 at a wing ding called “Freedom Fest” in La Crosse. He was on the bill with a Lou Gramm-less Foreigner. Foreigner was good - Mick Jones playing guitar quite well - but without Lou Gramm, just not the same. Steve and his band stole the show.

Oh, what the hell. It’s just me and some critters out here. They won’t care, I reckon.

Always liked the album cut with “Threshold” just before “Jet Airliner” - there’s that instrumental with the melody for one of the verses to sing along to (and I do!). Later in the song Steve says “funky shit” instead of “funky kicks” as the Top 40 radio version is.
