Steppenwolf Still Rocks
This is a long-awaited video from the legendary Steppenwolf, especially for those of us who could not make it to see them live in the past.
Notwithstanding a lot of changes and age, the band and John Kay have survived just fine which showed in their solid performance. It looks like the bass part was pre-recorded but the rest is a pure live rendition of Steppenwold classics. Unfortunately, I have never heard any songs from "Slow Flux", their greatest album in my opinion but even so the Hammond organ sound and the John Kay's voice bring us back to the glorious years of classic rock.
The video is well produced and has a number of interviews with the band members that enhances the positive impression from the DVD and adds a personal touch to the video.
Highly recommended.

Fantastic
This is a fantastic concert from John Kay and Steppenwolf. Sound (how do they so powerfully without a bass player?)and video are exceptional. Just a little problem: it's too short. But an absolute must for fans of this great band still rocking near fourty years after their debut.

Steppenwolf Still Growls and Howls
Steppenwolf is one of the most underrated rock bands on the planet. There is so much more to this band than the quintessential "Born To Be Wild" and "Magic Carpet Ride". "Live in Louisville" is a great collection of Steppenwolf classics along with some powerful new songs like "Endless Commercial" and "She's Got The Goods" that were recently featured on Kay's "Heretics & Privateers" CD. The band goes back to it's blues roots with such standouts as "Hootchie, Cootchie, Man" and demonstrates some great slide work by veteran guitarist Danny Johnson, especially on "Ride With Me", a top 40 hit for the Wolf back in 1972. Most impressive though is "Monster", a song written in 1969 that reflects on the history of our country and the difficulties and strife we face as a nation. One has to wonder if much has really changed in the last 35 years. The band's performance is tight, and the recording is crisp. Michael Wilk's keyboard playing and engineering on this project is solid throughout. However, the biggest disappointment is the omission of "Skullduggery", a Wolf gem, written by former Wolf guitarist Bobby Cochran, (nephew of Eddie "Summertime Blues" Cochran) that the band resurrected for this tour and played that night in Louisville.
