Fly Like An Eagle with Bonus DVD

[mandrix]

November 25, 1997? https://www.megaonlinestore.com/p132494-fly-like-an-eagle-steve-miller-dts-cd rare and looks to have the entire space intro on it. This version on discogs says 1996 Steve Miller Band - Fly Like An Eagle (CD, US, 1996) For Sale | Discogs looks like there were two DTS versions

That's the one. Thanks!

Does this have the intro whooshing sounds cut off? I was so disappointed!

The DTS-CD? I believe they are intact on this CD, but I have not listened in a while. I have/had another CD where the first few seconds were cut off.

OK listening now. Def not missing the swooshy sounds in the start.

That's like my favorite part, and perfect for quad. The DVD I have has that part on the menu but goes straight to Fly Like An Eagle when press play.

I just checked my DVD. I just hit "Play All" and the intro plays.

So, pressed play all and the whooshing sounds were there, but the first 1:03 of Space intro with the slow build up of the keyboard is skipped.

Not following you. I can't find such thing on my DTS-CD.

Apropos of nothing, I had a delightful listen on a bike ride to the 1968 Sailor album, my first and favorite SM by a mile.

I wonder how many folks who listen only to the massive hit albums know the origin of the Gangster of Love?

There's Frank James and Jesse James
Billy the Kid and all the rest
Supposed to be some bad cats way out in the West
If those cats could of dug me
And my gangster ways
They would have hung up their guns
And dug into their graves
Cause I'm a gangster a gangster of love
I'm a gangster a gangster of love

I jumped in my white horse Cadillac
I rode across the border line
I roped 55 girls, I kissed them all the same time
Took 25 or 30, put 'em all on a freight
There was a million dollar reward for me in each and every state

Sheriff says is your name Stevie "Guitar" Miller, in a very deep voice
And I said yes sir brother sheriff
And that's your wife on the back of my horse
I can't help it i'm a gangster
[cracking up as the outro rolls]
I can't help it you know, I'm a gangster
