Title: If you want some authentic live Steppenwolf...don't buy this
Review: This is a brand new release from the current edition of Steppenwolf which is John Kay and none of the other original members. Strangely enough though is that the current edition has been together a lot longer that the real deal. But that's neither here nor there because this band is just too slick. There is no edge here from a band that had a lot of edge in their day. John Kay still has a strong distinctive voice but it too has mellowed with age and who wants mellow with their "heavy metal thunder"? I know I don't. Some people might say that's expected with middle age but I don't see that happening with other music legends like Eric Burdon, Iggy Pop or Neil Young. Plus half the concert consists of new songs which are truly horrible! If you want some authentic live Steppenwolf, buy the original MCA title released in 1971.
