David rejoined the Steve Miller Band in 1976, touring in support of their multiplatinum album, "Fly Like an Eagle."

“Taken from two shows separated by three years; this album is as good a testament to Miller's numerous strengths (and occasional weaknesses) as you could get. The first set, from 1973, has Steve retaining his stock in trade blues repertoire and blending it with the newer, fresher material. By the second set (from 1976) he's incorporated the stylish harp playing of the wonderfully monickered Norton Buffalo and has pushed further into the pop-rock that he was surely born to make.” – Excerpt from BBC review (https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/gz9x/)
