Born to be wild Get your motor runnin' Head out on the highway Lookin' for adventure And whatever comes our way Yeah Darlin' go make it happen Take the world in a love embrace Fire all of your guns at once And explode into space I like smoke and lightning Like a true nature's child We were born, born to be wild We can climb so high I never want to die Born to be wild Born to be wild
My dad was 20 years older when this song was on 1969 & my mom was 17 years older when that song played on 1969 that was 42 years ago!!!<333 & i was"nt born yet!!!
Steppenwolf-one of greatest and unrecognised rock bands ever!They have sold more than 25 million albums, have dozens of millions of views but only about 100000 fans on Facebook.Try to correct it at least by liking them!Here are the names of their pages (type or paste this words into facebook search tool): Steppenwolf, John Kay, John Kay and Steppenwolf, John Kay & Steppenwolf Should Be In The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.Thumbs up so everyone can see!Invite your friends too!John would be grateful!
@HomeSkillet489 Sounds like it was. John Kay is doubling his own vocals. Very unusual for Sullivan, but then again, John Kay has always been a stickler for "perfection". He probably wanted it to sounds exactly like the record and Ed wanted a live performance. Betcha this was the compromise. Other good clue is that none of the instruments have cables! lol
@appleX2leopard WOW man you are old very old !!! Here in Greece the grandpas we say that they have the one leg in the grave if you know what i mean...Of course you know you've already orderded a coffin i believe !!!
@bobyoung53 they didnt have monitors speakers then when the beatles were on they took a level and marked the dials with a grease pencil somebody wipped the marks off billly J. kramer did a benefit concert for world hunger yrear in th 80s from the ed sullivan theater they said whats it like being back here he said well the dressing room is the same
@spacepatrolman How strange, the same thing occured when I saw Steppenwolf at Madison Sq Garden, NY in the fall of '68. The organist (Goldy MqJohn passed out during one of their extended jams. They carried him off stage, revived him, and he returned to the organ before the song finished! To this day me and my cousin talk about that incident! steve
I think ed didnt like the rock acts playing all the songs back then ive noticed every ed sullivan rock clip he allowed 1 minute then cut them off ed you old bastard you shouldve let them finish there songs
@kypoppa Sullivan was done live. The rock acts were last and were sometimes truncated do to time. Now they fix that in editing but then Sullivan was live.
@edyoung44 That's because high quality recordings and HD video have existed for years but only for master recordings, it's only been recently that they hit consumer market. Think about it, you can now buy a Charlie Chaplin movie in full HD, because the source video has depth even higher than HD.
I'm a vocal impressionist and did this song last night at my local casino lounge and I can tell you this: Over 40-years later and this song still knocks 'em dead. It has withstood the test of time.

Yeah, John Kay. You can hear two vocals. I guess they didn't want to go to all the trouble of redoing
