VERY RARE **PROMOTIONAL** 1970 ORIGINAL first pressing 2xLP (TWO LP's) In THICK gatefold cover
***STILL SEALED***
Steppenwolf were about the best band on the planet in 1970 working up a to a huge following from their late sixties hits "Born To Be Wild" & "Magic Carpet Ride", they were selling out arena's and this, Steppenwolf LIVE catches the band in their full glory... Most agree this live album blows away the studio versions we all know and love and the sonics from the soundboard recording are exceptional, wide range clarity...Definitely one of the finest live albums from the early seventies. Catching the live beast that was Steppenwolf at the peak of their undoubted powers. A wonderful collection of great songs played by a group of musicians, who were as tight as rugby's front row forwards.
Opener "Sookie, Sookie" rocks hard-er...and perhaps the greatest anti-drug song ever recorded is "The Pusher", where John Kay sings behind his sunglasses with venom and bile in his lyrics, making it more than clear what he thinks of these demons of the underworld.
All of the original songs are steeped in the turn of the decade, "Draft Resister" with rants against the draft; the Vietnam war "From Here To There Eventually"; and the American Government & the law in general with "Don't Step On The Grass Sam".
Sensibility, the in between 'raps' from Kay have been left in place here, and the interplay of hammond organ and meaty guitar is a forerunner of what was to come in the later seventies.
The song "Monster", clocking in at over ten minutes, more than lives up to its name. This version wiping the floor of its studio recorded counter part from Steppenwolf's previous album, showing what can happen to a song when it's taken out onto the road and sharpened up.
It is though, the last trio of songs that the crowd has obviously been waiting for, and in the hard rock stakes the band doesn't disappoint. "Magic Carpet Ride" is aptly titled and would be the jewel in the crown of most bands, but Steppenwolf can follow this with a sonic version of "The Pusher" and then push all the buttons with the song that gave birth to the term heavy metal in "Born To Be Wild", where Jerry Edmonton rips away on guitar, bringing the baying audience to a frenzy before closing the show.
