In January 2007, when the Steve Miller Band performed "Jet Airliner" live at the Ravinia Amphitheater, the band was enjoying a resurgence in popularity driven by classic rock nostalgia. The performance came after their previous studio album, "Wide River," released in 1993, and preceded their later work which included a series of greatest hits compilations and a return to touring. Notably, "Jet Airliner," originally from the 1977 album "Book of Dreams," is one of the band's signature songs, capturing their signature blend of rock, blues, and catchy hooks. This era also marked significant recognition for the group, as they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016. The live recording showcases their enduring appeal and the vibrant energy that characterized their performances, particularly as they revisited beloved classics during this period of their career.
