In September 1965, John Kay joined a popular Canadian band called The Sparrows. In early 1967, the band toured alongside The Doors and The Steve Miller Band, but eventually broke up. Later that year, Kay recruited several members of his former band, renamed the group Steppenwolf, and the rest they as they say is history. The group would release its first single that year, Girl I Knew/The Ostrich, then in 1968 rocket to fame with such tunes as Sookie Sookie, The Pusher, Magic Carpet Ride and of course, Born To Be Wild. This FM broadcast captures Steppenwolf 2 years after the Summer iof Love, in Germany on June 7, 1959, 53 years ago today.

I believe in these early Beat Club performances the bands lip synced to recorded tracks.
@Polypheme - thanks for the insight. Didn't know that. Well, it may not be live but it is early Steppenwolf!
Can anyone tell me why links to sendgb keep openning up their upload page? I haven't been able to download several files from this blog.
Just tested it - the link works fine- takes you to the download page. Takes a few seconds after you cliick download to start, but it works. Try using Chrome as your browser - that's what works for me
Here's the full download link: https://www.sendgb.com/upload/?utm_source=25Vrgx6HP1D
The Beat Club recording is not live, only the records. Must have been a lip synch. Bummer, as there's not much good live "Wolf" out there.
