Mar 19, 2014  Not sure why this one was set out into the world, this is a pretty low grade bootleg of a very early Steve Miller Band club date in San Francisco. This concert was recorded either a week after they finished the first album or a week before they started the first album. So you have the original Steve Miller Band here. The music is rather jumbled.

A big band remote (a.k.a. dance band remote) was a remote broadcast, popular on radio during the 1930s and 1940s, involving a coast-to-coast live transmission of a big band.

Overview[edit]

Broadcasts were usually transmitted by the major radio networks directly from hotels, ballrooms, restaurants and clubs. During World War II, the remote locations expanded to include military bases and defense plants. Band remotes mostly originated in major cities, including Boston, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Chicago.

The usual procedure involved the network sending a two-man team, announcer and engineer, with remote radio equipment to a designated location. Latest no deposit casino bonuses. The announcer would open with music behind an introduction:

For your dancing pleasure, Columbia brings you the music of Count Basie and his orchestra, coming to you from the Famous Door on Fifty-Second Street in New York City.^[1]

Broadcast venues[edit]

The Chicago broadcasts featured bands headed by Count Basie, Frankie Carle, Duke Ellington, Jan Garber, Jerry Gray, Woody Herman, Earl Hines, Eddy Howard (from the Aragon Ballroom), Dick Jurgens, Kay Kyser (from the Blackhawk Restaurant), Coon-Sanders Original Nighthawk Orchestra (from the Blackhawk), Ted Weems, Shep Fields (from the Palmer House) and Griff Williams.

Steve Miller Band Tour

Artie Shaw's many remote broadcasts included the Rose Room of Boston's Ritz Carlton Hotel. The Blue Room of New York's Hotel Lincoln was the location of his only regular radio series as headliner. Sponsored by Old Gold cigarettes, Shaw broadcast on CBS from November 20, 1938 until November 14, 1939. Before he launched Sun Records, Sam Phillips ran regular big band remotes with the Chuck Foster orchestra and others from the Peabody Hotel Skyway Ballroom in Memphis, Tennessee.^[2] The tradition continued into the 1950s with Ray Anthony doing band remotes on CBS in 1951-52. In the mid-1950s, NBC broadcast jazz club remotes on Monitor featuring Howard Rumsey, Al Hibbler and others.^[3]

As early as 1923, listeners could tune in the Waldorf-Astoria Orchestra. The Oriole Orchestra (Dan Russo and Ted Fio Rito) was performing at Chicago's Edgewater Beach Hotel when they did their first radio remote broadcast on March 29, 1924, and two years later, they opened the famous Aragon Ballroom in July 1926, doing radio remotes nationally from both the Aragon and the Trianon Ballrooms. In 1929, after Rudy Vallée's Orchestra vacated Manhattan's Heigh-Ho Club to do a movie in Hollywood, Will Osborne's dance band found fame with a nationwide audience due to radio remotes from the Heigh-Ho. That same year, Phil Spitalny and his orchestra broadcast on NBC from the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York.

By 1930, Ben Bernie was heard in weekly remotes from Manhattan's Roosevelt Hotel. On November 24, 1937, Glenn Miller did a remote on NBC from Boston's Raymor Ballroom on Huntington Avenue (one block from Symphony Hall). On the west coast, Shep Fields and his Rippling Rhythm Orchestra could be heard in 1938 while broadcasting from the Los Angeles Biltmore Hotel after filming The Big Broadcast of 1938 in Hollywood.^[4]

Glen Island Casino[edit]

The Glen Island casino was billed as 'the mecca for music moderns' and fans from coast to coast knew that it was 'just off shore road in New Rochelle, New York'. Glen Island represented glamor and prestige, where only the best and most popular bands were featured. The casino was also considered the springboard to success for many big bands of 1930s, including those of Ozzie Nelson, Charlie Barnet, Claude Thornhill, Les Brown and the Dorsey Brothers.^[5] In March 1939, Glenn Miller and his orchestra got their big break when they were chosen to play a summer season at Glen Island.^[6] Both NBC and Mutual broadcast Miller and his orchestra from the casino, an unusual dual-network remote with some 1,800 people present in the Casino ballroom. Glen Gray'sCasa Loma Orchestra played at Glen Island along the water's edge almost every night.

In San Francisco, things seemed to be looking up for Steve as he formed the band Steve Miller Blues Band along with Boz Scaggs. However, after releasing a few albums Scaggs left the band and went solo. And it was after his departure that the band made huge success. On signing the Capitol records they were asked to shorten their name hence they came to be called, Steve Miller Band. This five member band released their first album by the name Children of the Future, in 1968 and included band members called, guitarist, James Cooke, Miller himself, Tim Davis, as drummer, guitarist, Boz Scaggs, bassist Lonnie Turner.

The album included singles like Boz Scaggs ‘Overide’ and ‘Dime A Dance Romance’, ‘Livin In The USA,’ and ‘Lucky Man.’

Their third album was called Brave New World featuring hit singles like, 'My Dark Hour' and 'Space Cowboy'.

Their next album called Rock Love featured unreleased live performances. Their super duper hit album, The Joker climbed the Billboard charts at number 2. It came out in the markets in 1973, showing the audience of their diversity as musicians and introducing their new style. The Title Track of the album swept the nation. It was no less than an enchanted spell, leaving millions of fans spell bound. The album reached platinum status and sold over a million copies. The title track itself enjoyed huge success and became number 1 single on the Billboard charts.

The fans of Steve Miller Band had to wait for another three years for the next album to release, called the Fly Like an Eagle. Again the fans were left speechless and developed a craze for the album. It made its way to the number 3 position in the charts and included their second number one hit single, 'Rock ‘N Me.' The album Book of Dreams enjoyed success as well and included the three hit singles, 'Swingtown' 'Jet Airliner' and 'Jungle Love'.
