Steve Miller: Miller's Hard Grind
Danny Holloway, NME, 21 April 1973
STEVE MILLER'S concerts at London's Rainbow theatre last year were two of the most pleasant gigs of 1972. Since he'd never played here before, Miller was forced to live up to his word-of-mouth reputation and the strength of the Steve Miller Band's albums. And can be safely said he did more than satisfy the audience's curiosity on those gigs he brought the house down.
