@@bossdog1480 I went to the college where she jumped. Not sure what dorm. And I’m about 10 years younger. Love that school. Lots of people did dots but I was to innocent at the time that though I thought about it, I knew my darkness “my old friend” too well. I also did not know who sold it. Now forty some years later I am sure any spaced out cutie would have sorted me right out. Lol.
That's the fun in watching Jay's reactions. We know what's coming and we know how we reacted so seeing that smile at just the right time let's us know you're liking it as we did.
THE 60'S !! you had to just be there. new and amazing bands coming out about once a month. there will never be anything like it in music again. i'd say i'm glad to be old but i'd be lying.
Another song done by this group, that I used as a " 12 step recovery song." In the 90s was: " Its Never To Late." John Kay's grating , rough gravelly sounding voice complimented the music around him produced by this band, perfectly.
Man oh man. I am one happy camper tonite listening g to your choices. All my teen years. Amazing talented people. I am still stuck in this era happily. Keep up the great music. .😅🎵🎧💿💘 very long song. Rare back then. But so worth it. .
Me & a friend got to see him in our little home town, believe it or not! There’s a flea market with a stage that was sit up for music groups, this was back in the 70’s . Mitch Rider & his band also played that summer at the same time Stephenwolf was there! What a AWESOME time that was!!!
I saw these guys at the Fillmore East in New York City in 1969. It was fantastic . One guy was up and danced through that solo, which they played for a looong time . Those were great shows at that place (and time) !
Lots of '60s music is mesmerizing because we listened to them stoned. They were made specifically with that in mind by a lot of bands since they were also stoned. It's a characteristic of a lot of these songs as well as organ music for some reason.
With the start-from-nothing intro that sounds almost like a sound test, then the sudden slam of the instruments coming in with the intro lyric of "I like to dream", this sounds like it was made specificaly to be the opening song of a show.
Intended to replicate the feeling of a psychedelic trip. Great song and my favorite by this group. I'll bet that jam went on a lot longer too when they performed live. Talk about taking you awayyyyyy. Thanks for featuring this song.
This is their musical interpretation of what taking a tab of Owsley's acid was like in 1967. He was the sound engineer/man of the west coast rock scene. Owsley Stanley is the guy Steely Dan is talking about in the song Kid Charlemagne and the chemist that brewed the LSD of Height Ashbury fame
Another song from 1968. Just like Born to Be Wild, brings back memories of being a 12 year old kid and enjoying the summer. Light years away from what we have today. That's why we baby boomers long for the good old days. Sure it wasn't perfect, but it was way better than what kids have to put up with today...and the music was so much better.
ARE YOU AWARE that Jamel aka Jamal recommended your channel and told his subscribers to check you out and subscribe??? He told us to put you over the 100k mark. He has over 500k subscribers. Too late. I have been with you for a long time.
Same here. The only one of his recommendations I don't already follow is Jem or whatever her name was. I'll have to go back and check. I meant to check after watching him, but got lost in songs... again.
@@musicluvr70 I have watched her a few times. She played BARRACUDA by Heart and her comment was "LOOK AT THAT DRESS" and she had a deadpan look all through it. I stopped watching her then.
@@monicamad1285 These guys, Jamel aka Jamal and JBlethal are genuine and a joy to watch. I have been around since the 1960s (high school). Am a Viet vet so the music of the '60s and '70s are stuck in my head. I was single (not by choice) from the late '70s and most of the '80s and hung out in clubs and discos (loved to dance). Most of the '90s and 2000s music just lost its soul. That is why I love these guys.
I fell in love with this song at age 14 when it was first released.Still listening 2020. Love to see your reactions when that beat drops. Every one who's never heard it before seem to have the same expression of surprise.So funny.
American, where are you now ? Don't you care about your sons and daughters? Don't you know? We need you now... We can't fight alone against the Monster...
That is Goldy McJohn on keyboard. Classically trained and from Canada, he had been a band with future funk lord Rick James. John Kay was interesting that as the primary song writer and front man, he built a band in Steppenwolf that depended on McJohn's chops to really stand out.
Steppenwolf loved utilizing a rotating speaker called a Leslie that made the sound from the instrument quiver and fade in and out. It's one of my favorite instrument modifications in rock music, right up their with a fuzz box. Two songs that prominently feature the Leslie are "Dear Diary" by the Moody Blues, and "All I Wanna Do" by the Beach Boys. Both of these songs are slow tempo and have the Leslie speaker hooked up to the microphone to distort the vocals, rather than the instruments. Both songs are great - worth checking out!
You also want to check out Rock Me, It's Never Too Late, The Pusher, Snowblind Friend, For Ladies Only, Monster, Hey Lawdy Mama, a lesser-known song called Chicken Wolf, and many others. Note: the band was originally from Canada (Toronto), but lead singer John Kay and bassist Nick St. Nicholas were originally from Germany.
Steppenwolfs "The Pusher" is a great one and just as relevant today as it was in the late 60's. It was written by Hoyt Axton, a prolific songwriter who also wrote Three Dog Nights "Joy To The World".......a far cry from "The Pusher".
I remember when I first heard this song I had to have the 45. So I went out and bought the 45 with my allowance money, and played the record over and over again. I love the sound of the vacuum cleaner at the beginning.
I remember listening to Steppenwolf for the first time and it hit me like a Mack Truck. There was nothing like 'em in the 1960s, and their new sounds were a forerunner to hard rock and heavy metal. So glad they have been nominated by The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame before and that one of their singles was inducted, but they really need to be in as a pioneer of hard rock!
Yep, that's an organ. Specifically, it's the Hammond B3 electromechanical "tonewheeel" organ paired with a Leslie rotating speaker, which was a staple of rock music back then, especially in the "prog-rock" and "psychedelic" genres.
Buddy , i just want to say that it pleases me to the core , to see the younger gen , listening to the best that music has to offer. That being , 60's , 70's and 80's , to be exact. Now that being said , it is only my opinion. Cannot speak for anyone else. Im 53 yrs young and grew up with all this music that you showcase from show to show. Thank you so much for your time , your effort and especially your REACTIONS. peace brother man 👍👍😃 P.S. check out Rock Candy by Montrose

I’ve selected certain videos just because I know he’s gonna get thrown for a loop. Great comment.
Lmao 🤣 I enjoy watching reactions I’m just glad I’m 63 and experienced REAL MUSIC 🎶
THE 60'S !! you had to just be there. new and amazing bands coming out about once a month. there will never be anything like it in music again. i'd say i'm glad to be old but i'd be lying.
Know the feeling, it was a tumultuous time, war, riots, assassinations, but music what a great time for music.
@ted ritola correct ! i definitely could have added the 70's to that statement. and probably right up to the mid 80's. then the slow down started
It's true we were lucky to live the incredible variety of music of 60s and 70s. Being different sounding different was welcomed.
One of the best songs from the 60's! Brilliant.
That's Steppenwolf, like a trip on record.
That's exactly what this song is saying
A little bit of Mary Jane..
Steppenwolf? Nothing better!!!
Another song done by this group, that I used as a " 12 step recovery song." In the 90s was: " Its Never To Late."

STEPPIN'wolf; with stress on first syllable~ Great trippy songs by this outstanding group~
'This band really smacks you in the face' LOL 😂....... I've been smacked.!❤️
That's the fasted i've ever seen a request reaction.

There really isn't one song you dislike is there? You get excited about every single song!
I saw these guys at the Fillmore East in New York City in 1969. It was fantastic . One guy was up and danced through that solo, which they played for a looong time . Those were great shows at that place (and time) !
"Magic Carpet Ride"was their first hit 1968.It really got you moving.
One of my favorites and I'm 65.
Second hit, "Born to be wild" was first then months later this one came out for a great one-two punch!

1969 at its best. Been listening to this song since then!
You tricked us! You've never fulfilled a request so fast! Awesome reactions. Some of your best ever!

I just listened to this song the other day on acid. Fantastic experience
You have taken me back to my teenage years, good music.
J this is one of my favorite songs by Steppenwolf! Born to be Wild is also an awesome song!!
John Kay had an AMAZING original voice. His solo material was excellent too!
He is still doing out there, over forty years ago.
My childhood music, 60s hippies, I'm 55 now, lol, love it
Always loved this song!
Anyone who is born to be wild would love Magic Carpet Ride.
This is the music my mother blared on our stereo ststem
That’s one cool mom!
Your Mum?! Omg you had some cool parents!!!
isabelle317 She was probably my mom’s friend 🤣
That's why we make very cool grandparents 😎
Your Mom is cool!
Legendary intro to a song! Loved your surprised face! 😅
It is an all time fave
Thumbs up! If I remember correctly, Steppenwolf played this song in the movie, "Candy". Some great stuff in that movie.
Just Funky all the way Funky!!! They brought it.
A lot of songs featured solos, drums, guitar 👍👍👍
Every time this song is used in a movie, it elevates the scene. Great song. Pretty sure I drive a little faster when I listen to this song. :)
A great Canadian band, put together in L.A. by John Kaye whose mother emigrated from Germany when John was eleven….they had some great songs.

I'm 54 and have grown up to some great music! Awesome reaction as always!🎸🤘
Alright brother!!! Let's go on with Steppenwolf ride! man that guitar and drummer just bounce off each other real well1
Another good one ❤️
We called that tripping music back in the day 😳
The Pusher by them is a must reaction! 🔥🎶🔥
😎my favorite summer when this came out, great jam!
Steppenwolf did this song in 1TAKE!!
What a pleasure to hear Them huge fan GREAT SONG
The singer is a big part of why they had such success. They all made it work. This one is one of their best.

Steppenwolf was known for getting political with songs like Monster ,Don't Step On The Grass Sam The Pusher and others. They Rock.
You've got admit..Rock n Pop of the 60s and 70s..
KICKED ASS!!!!!
I guarantee you will enjoy their song “Monster” and it’s unfortunately still relevant today! “Let the sound take you away!”
Scary truth,, HISTORY 101 in MONSTER,,,
American, where are you now ?
Don't you care about your sons and daughters?
Don't you know? We need you now...

Try Steppenwolf "Rock Me" Original footage from the Smothers Brothers
Think about listening to this on a small AM transistor radio in the 60's. Thank God for quality stereo.
Great tune to crank up in the car. Hit the highway, set the cruise at 95 mph and just driiiiiive...
It's Bad Ass. Used in Star Trek: First Contact. A great song to Blare, while on a space flight.
thats always comes to mind when i hear this song. lol
Yes! Great scene!
YES I was wondering if someone had already said that reference. "We can't take off without it!" XD
Yes it’s a catchy hit
I love the instrumental "tease" where you keep hearing weird guitar and bass sounds. I think you played the long version, which I appreciate.
Love it!My fave by them!!
Hell yeah finally getting to them. Enjoy lol. Love Steppenwolf. They were awesome live.
Steppenwolfs "The Pusher" is a great one and just as relevant today as it was in the late 60's. It was written by Hoyt Axton, a prolific songwriter who also wrote Three Dog Nights "Joy To The World".......a far cry from "The Pusher".
This is some major jam! So full of energy & yes this is preferable for people who are tripping Lol!
Hey Jay..... Enjoyed touring this song with you today. What a journey, eh? Thanks for your reaction.... Take care and be well. Peace.
I know how you fell, welcome to Psychedelic Rock, peace and love man.
I remember when I first heard this song I had to have the 45. So I went out and bought the 45 with my allowance money, and played the record over and over again. I love the sound of the vacuum cleaner at the beginning.
This song was used in Austin Powers International Man of Mystery. It’s a classic!
Try "Desperation" "The Pusher" "Snowblind Friend" or "Don't Step On The Grass, Sam"
The Pusher. A HUGE SLAP OF REALITY.
Great song!
Man, if you like this, you'll like Highway Star, by Deep Purple, among many others by them. Smoke on the Water, is another one. Check em out. Peace.
Try Sookie Sookie it is a good one also
If I’m not mistaken, that is the B-Side for Magic Carpet Ride
Songs of my growing up years! So fun to watch others who have never experienced "my" music hear it for the first time! Thanks for your reaction!
Grew up with this one, my sister had the 45 single and listened to it many times in the early 70s
Yeah yeah right between the sound machine! You got to hear more ❤
Steppenwolf, “The Pusher”, “Sookie, Sookie”
Jay I will let others tell you about what this song was design for but the title "Magic Carpet Ride" would be a big hint
