FWIW, we opened for Steppenwolf, with John Kay, back in about 1975 at Tampa Convention Center then again at West Palm Beach Auditorium. Savoy Brown was also on the bill.

Loved it.

I saw SW at the Orlando Sports Stadium in 1971. Top notch live band.

Saw SB at Tampa Stadium around 72/73. Very good. Had the pleasure of seeing Kim Simmonds a couple of times in St Pete & Clearwater in smaller venues around 2003. Got my “Looking In” LP autographed.

I was 14 in 1972, and I am pretty sure we heard Steppenwolf perform Born to be Wild, live, at the Illinois State Jaycees track meet in Granite City, IL. (Is that possible?) It was a great childhood memory. We won the girls’ 440 relay for our age group.

Thank you for your works. was a groovy tune I listened to on the radio while riding in my older brother's '69 dark green El Camino with a 396 engine. That was a sweet ride with a Hurst shifter, chrome mags and the second best rumble next to the Harley 'potato potato potato'.
