"Uh, just kind of, you know, let your mind flow, leave your body behind." - Agustus, K-News, Dallas. 

This is real classic stuff and the recording (aside from a couple of mic bumps in Sookie, Sookie) is surprisingly good. From what I understand this was remastered by TheTooleman who did a fine job. The performance is hot... I mean this really rocks! There's some great banter with the crowd that is pretty indicative of the good feelings this band carried with them. 

It's really interesting to note the crowds lack of reaction when they mention Born To Be Wild but very understandable considering this show was apparently only about a week after it was released. My favorite pub had to take that tune off the Jbox cuz whenever anyone played "the anthem" the place went apeshit.

Total Time ::: 1:10:59 

::: Very fine, clear, low gen. stereo AUD (with almost zero AUD noise!). Check samples for yr own little acid test or to spark yr plugs while waitin' for the digital byte motor to rev up. 
::: Warts: Slightly distant. Basically no warts left... Surely I missed a few dullspots, but almost every issue was 100% repairable. 
::: The Sundown was better known as the "Edmunton Sundown". 
::: The John Kay Band with Jerry Edmonton was presumably the opening act. 
::: This was billed as the Steppenwolf "Farewell Tour". They're still going 41 years later! 
::: George Biondo (bass) was ex-T.I.M.E. (Trust In Men Everywhere) & Kent Henry (lead guitar on "For Ladies Only" & this farewell tour) was ex-Blues Image. 
::: The hall, the Regal Cinema, had closed in July. Steppenwolf was opening night for the new re-vamped arena, renamed the "Sundown". Then local freaks had to deal with the fact that after 2 years of some excellent rock events, it became a bingo hall, then was torn down & the site housed a Safeway & subsequently, in these wondrous economic times, a Lidl. Progress in Britain in a nutshell.

Notes on the remaster:
The source of this recording was incredibly fast, and was slowed to normal pitch. Noise reduction had already been used on the source recording, and some wavering can be heard on the first two or three tracks of disk two (Tighten Up Your Wig and Disappointment Number).

Here is another very nice compilation of vintage performances. Got this on HungerCity long time ago, thanks Kindly note this was publicly broadcasted in the US back then, so there is absolutely no nudity in this show. This was an hour-long show that ran on network TV (!)from July 1968 to May 1970. The ever hip and debonair Hef surrounded himself with a bunch of attractive young pseudo-sophisticates, salted each week with a variety of personalities ranging from Milton Berle to Mort Sahl, Sid Caesar to Lenny Bruce, Roman Polanski (and Sharon Tate) to Paul Mazursky. There was also some amazing music.

Here's a description of the show by Chris Rywalt:
"The camera moved lazily across a room where a party was going on. A party unlike any party I had ever seen, on film or otherwise. People chatted in small groups. Everyone had a drink in their hand. Blacks and whites mingled freely. Almost everyone was smoking. Quiet jazz filled the room. Everyone was dressed stylishly and with care. Everyone looked attractive in a comfortable way. No one looked like a model -- the guests all just looked like handsome, pleasant people. The light was soft, yellowish, and diffuse.

"The camera wandered past the guests, stopping here and there and catching fragments of their conversation. The camera rolled along very slowly. Amazingly slowly. [snip]

"Later in the show, the camera panned along and encountered a band. They were playing jazz. Gradually, as the camera didn't move, it became apparent that this was a featured band, performing for the show.

"And all of After Dark was like this. Long, languorous camera shots, lingering on details, while an incredibly civilized party went on, with everyone drinking and smoking and grooving to the music. And occasionally one of the guests would turn out to be someone with a talent, who would graciously agree to share some of it with us."
