I was 16 and borrowed my mothers vw and with my sister and some of her friends drove downtown to the Spectrum in Philadelphia. I was loaned the car with the promise I would be home by midnight, living in Merion Station. Well Steppenwolf was supposed to start at 8pm but they didn’t start until 11 pm . Somehow my sister , me and her girlfriends were asked if we wanted to sit up on stage ? I sat basically right next to the organ . The show lasted a couple of hours . Best show I ever went to. Lost my glasses on the way back to the car but somehow managed to get us all home safely. Didn’t have use of the car for a month after that night but it was well worth it. The year I believe was 69.

I’m just a little younger than you but saw many good shows at the Spectrum in Philly. The lights went down and the pot came out and inside that space it was unofficially legal for the length of the concert .

@@totallyunmemorable These days it has become a joke but it was formed to pay tribute to artists that have made a big impact on Rock so guys like Scotty moore from Elvis P, Band , Link Wray, Page , Tony Iommi , Mike Bloomfield , Jimi , & the many greats that made the hall what it was meant to no longer exists & has been altered to fit folks that just have no place there hence the reason it's a joke as now you need little to no talent to be amongst guys like Jimi . Way to many artists that have carved there way to have the right to be in are not & for Rock N Roll that does suck. John Kay & all the members that made Steppenwolf such a killer & influential band do belong in the hall along with the greats that made it once have merit. 🎸🎶 Iv'e played guitar since the late 60s as an amature but to be honered in a place that has Hendrix & all the greats that made Rock great i would not turn that down just because of some idiots that don't have a clue what the hall was really meant for. John Kay & all the guys that made Steppenwolf so good belong where the real great real & the hell with the fools in there that have no place being there. Yea sadly it has become a joke but it's not the real musicians fault .

@RickTBL8 ай бұрын
I don't think it was incompetent sound dudes. I think John just wanted to highlight the solo. The singer of a band I was in would do the same thing, but he would shove the mike into the kick drum for a few seconds in the middle of a song, to really highlight the beat, then go back to singing through it. He only did it when he was in the mood. It was never planned. I wouldn't be surprised if Kay is doing the same thing.
@mikew60258 ай бұрын
I saw them in Wildwood N.J. in 1971 and he did the same thing, sort of. When they were prepping for the song "For Ladies Only" and Goldy moved to the piano he said, "The piano mic isn't working". John's response was, "Just bang on them harder". Then when the piano solo started he put his vocal mic on it's stand and stuck it down inside the piano. Worked the same way.

Amps were not generally miked in this era. Hence the big stack amps. A Leslie speaker only played so loud. It obviously couldn't compete with the Marshall and Ampeg stacks. Using 2 of them would sound weird because the rotating speakers would not have stayed in sync with each other. I wouldn't call this a failure of the sound guy, it's just the state of technology of the era.

What a joy to see Steppenwolf live. Magnificent Canadian group. I think the first Hard Rock album I heard when I was 15, their album "The Second" is a true rock classic of all time with tremendous pieces like "faster than the speed of life", Don't Step on the grass Sam", 28 (magnificent piano on this one), the incredible "Magic Carpet Ride" and the last 4 pieces of this album since "Disappointment number". And to finish this great band Steppenwolf, "Born to be wild" I think is the first where they mention the term "Heavy Metal"

The RnR Hall of Fame maintains their criteria for induction rests with a band's "influence and significance of their contributions to the development and perpetuation of rock and roll". If so, why then is Steppenwolf not yet inducted? Frankly, it seems to rest on the consensus of who's popular, which, depending on who's voting, and which other names are on the ballot, may very ignore the integrity of the vote and the criteria for which its supposed to be based on. Like most people I could drop a littany of names who's membership could easily be questioned - but music is a very personal thing and I would hate to offend anyone's musical preferences. I get it! To the average - AVERAGE - listener, Steppenwolf means all of two songs. But influence and integrity are those intangibles that simply aren't measured the same way "hit" songs are rated on the Hot 100. You simply can't talk about music of the 60s and ignore their presence, musicianship, political voice and yes, profound musical and pop culture influence. Time marches on and memories are fading for a lot of these older bands. If that's the case, we're likely to see more names from the 80s and 90s getting that plaque on the wall before Steppenwolf. It's not the end of the world if they never get there, but it would be nice to see it happen for them.

Back then my girlfriend thought the line in Born to be Wild "take the world in a love embrace" was "kick the world in a loving place"!
