Wow another great Canadian anthem. John Kay was born in Russia but the family immigrated to Toronto Canada in 1958. Steppenwolf was inducted into Canada's Rock Hall of Fame in 2004. Some great history & music. Once again, you did this song justice!

Steppenwolf fan! Its sounds great!

[@nolaserv]

Man, this brings me back when I watched Steppenwolf for the very first time with John Kay and his sungasses. I was 11 or 12 years old in 1968 and after they finished, my older sister asked me if I liked them. I said hell yeah, then I asked her and she said yes. I went out and bought the 45 then. Good job guys.

These guys should be called The Master Class Band. Every song they play nails every detail of the original, while deftly improving the execution. The videos pick up details of the arrangements, equipment, and "good as they get" individual performers. DAMM, that drummer's sharp!

[@bbmtge]

Actually, they did not in any manner. They are an OK backyard group.

[@jeffbrower8773]

When I heard this song on the radio I just had to go buy the album!! Psychedelic music was the new thing then and i was going to be a fan!!!

[@jillym320]

You blow me away with your talent!! I fly out to hear concerts and I’m tempted to fly out to Chicago just to hear you ❤❤❤❤❤

[@gibsonlespaul1981]

WHERE ARE YOIU GUYS FROM LOVE YOIUR MUSIC

[@ronaldrockwell8549]

These guys must have a sponsor with deep pockets! They have some very expensive equipment!!

[@ronaldrockwell8549]

Especially that portable keyboard that can do everything a stand-up unit can!!!

[@Rowlandph]

You guy sound great on everything you play!...

[@youtubeguy1]

Nice!

[@martyemmons8692]

Anyone that can play "Magic Carpet Ride" gets a "like" from me!

[@deborahrowland4264]

Sounds great guys 👍🏽

[@RussSwanson]

Well done!

[@stand4truth44]

VERY NICE!!!🎼🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶😄👍

[@andrewfyakim525]

This is the best unknown band in the country!... Hey Keyboard Guy, you need a louder amp! You sound great, but need more volume...

[@ubenza]

Yeah!

[@djorlando57]

Awesome playing guys. Way to go , & audio & video editing was stellar again! Gotta move johns music stand next time, so we can see his more of his tremendous guitar work

[@ronaldrockwell8549]

This is way b etter than School of Rock videos, musically anyway!!

[@Astrochronic]

That's pretty tight but I got to say that Distortion at the beginning was pretty weak dude... like does your guy not know how to just shove his humbucker up into the amp and make it scream and warble? Also side note: do you have any idea how hard it was to get my speech to text to recognize the word warble?

[@bradkeyboards]

Strats have single coil pickups, not humbuckers. Agreed feedback is lame, so is the keytar. These guys suck

[@MarkBaker56]

Astrochronic Have you ever coaxed feedback by placing the headstock against the speaker baffle. Try it out. Hey Brad was the tambourine up to your standards ?

[@heli-crewhgs5285]

I absolutely hate the very sight of those walkabout keyboards.

[@djorlando57]

Thanks bud! Was a blast to play Hammond B-3 on the Keytar

[@bradkeyboards]

Shame to see a keyboard player dance around like an idiot.

[@fullcirclethinker]

There’s a cure for that: “Close your eyes girl. Look inside girl. Let the sound take you away”.

[@7542ben]

A little dazed and confused....

[@bradkeyboards]

Give up on the keytar and get a real keyboard that would sound better.

[@stevescrews447]

Talented band great music but vocals aren't even. Close
