Steve Miller Band Brings #1 Hit “Rock ‘N’ Me” To Capitol Theatre And It’s Sublime

Keep On Rockin’ Me Baby

With their highly successful and likable stage presence, the Steve Miller Band came out on top with 3 #1 hits, including classic “Rock’N’Me” that you see here in the video. Playing the Capitol Theatre in 1976, Steve Miller and the boys were on fire with their second hit in their prime!

“I went from Phoenix, Arizona all the way to Tacoma, Philadelphia, Atlanta, L.A., Northern California where the girls are warm, so I could hear my sweet baby say ‘keep on a rock’n me baby…”

At only 33 years old, Steve shines on the mic (even in black and white) and really brings hit “Rock’N’Me” alive for the audience. The lyrics paint a picture of a man that does everything he can to keep his woman, traveling all over and searching for a job- he seems desperate for the companionship and physical intimacy.

Interesting Fact: Any similarity between the introduction of this and the intro of Free’s “All Right Now” was intentional.

We love finding footage from Capitol Theatre because you can really tell the artists are on their A- game as was the Steve Miller Band on September 26, 1976. Enjoy this awesome and rare performance of Steve and the boys lighting up the stage with their #1 hit!

+ Rock ‘N’ Me Lyrics +

Well I’ve been lookin’ real hard and I’m tryin’ to find a job
But it just keeps gettin’ tougher every day
But I got to do my part ’cause I know in my heart
I got to please my sweet baby, yeah

Well, I ain’t superstitious, and I don’t get suspicious
But my woman is a friend of mine
And I know that it’s true that all the things that I do
Will come back to me in my sweet time

So keep on rock’n me baby
Keep on a rock’n me baby
Keep on a rock’n me baby
Keep on a rock’n me baby

I went from Phoenix, Arizona all the way to Tacoma
Philadelphia, Atlanta, L.A.
Northern California where the girls are warm
So I could be with my sweet baby, yeah

Keep on a rock’n me baby
Keep on a rock’n me baby
Keep on a rock’n me baby
Keep on a rock’n me baby, baby, baby, baby, keep on rock’n

Rock’n me baby
Keep on a rock’n, rock’n me baby

Don’t get suspicious, now don’t be suspicious
Babe, you know you are a friend of mine
And you know that it’s true that all the things that I do
Are gonna come back to you in your sweet time

I went from Phoenix, Arizona all the way to Tacoma
Philadelphia, Atlanta, L.A.
Northern California where the girls are warm
So I could hear my sweet baby say

Keep on a rock’n me baby
Keep on a rock’n me baby
Keep on a rock’n me baby
Keep on a rock’n me, rock’n me, rock’n, baby, baby, baby
Keep on a rock’n me baby
Keep on a rock’n me baby
Keep on a rock’n me baby
Keep on a rock’n me baby
