I went to a Steppenwolf concert in Phoenix New Year’s Eve ‘68 (?). Two new bands came on before Steppenwolf. Three Dog Night who had just released “One” and Blood Sweat and Tears with their new singer, David Clayton Thomas. They were tough acts for Steppenwolf to follow. The Phoenix P.D. was taping all of the concerts at that time for profanity. “The Pusher” was a real hoot! “Aw Shucks! The Pusher!” Funny stuff.
I love the brass of Blood Sweat and Tears. Good music there.
