====The Steve Miller Band, Bob Dylan, the Band, the Eagles==== In the late 1960s and 1970s, Johns was in demand on both sides of the [[Atlantic Ocean|Atlantic]] and worked with American acts such as [[the Steve Miller Band]], and the [[Eagles (band)|Eagles]].{{sfn|Ankeny on Johns}} Johns did his first work with an American act in 1968 with the Steve Miller Band, whom he had seen perform live at [[the Fillmore]] in [[San Francisco]].{{sfn|Johns|2014|pp=98β99}} The group came to England to record their debut album, ''[[Children of the Future (album)|Children of the Future]]'', at Olympic with Johns as engineer.{{sfn|Johns|2014|p=99}} During the sessions, Johns assumed the role of producer.{{sfnm|1a1=Johns|1y=2014|1pp=101β102|2a1=Hanson on Miller}} Johns produced and engineered their next three albums, ''[[Sailor (Steve Miller Band album)|Sailor]],''{{sfn|Brown|1990|p=1225}} ''[[Brave New World (Steve Miller Band album)|Brave New World]]'',{{sfn|Ankeny on Johns}} and ''[[Your Saving Grace]]''.{{sfn|Planer on Miller}} [[File:Eagles in concert September 2014.jpg|thumb|upright=1.25|Glyn Johns produced and engineered the [[Eagles (band)|Eagles]]' first three albums in the early- to mid-1970s.]] At the request of producer [[Bob Johnston]],{{sfn|Johns|2014|p=154}} Johns engineered the live recordings of Bob Dylan's performance backed by [[the Band]] at the [[Isle of Wight Festival]] in 1969,{{sfn|Johns|2014|p=154}} some of which appeared on his 1970 ''[[Self Portrait (Bob Dylan album)|Self Portrait]]'' album.{{sfnm|1a1=Love|1y=2016|2a1=Walsh|2y=2014}} He later produced and engineered Dylan's 1984 live album, ''[[Real Live]]''.{{sfn|Michaels|2014}} Johns also did one of the mixes for the Band's ''[[Stage Fright (album)|Stage Fright]]'' in 1970.{{sfnm|1a1=Chelstowski|1y=2021|2a1=Walsh|2y=2014}}{{efn|[[Todd Rundgren]] did another mix for the album.
