Top Rock

Following this afternoon will be a long
awaited concert, featuring Steppenwolf, one of
the top rock groups in America.

Two of their singles, "Born to Be Wild" and
"Magic Carpet Ride" have sold over one million
copies, and four of their albums have gone over
the golden millon-dollar mark, "Steppenwolf,"
"Steppenwolf the Second," "Monster," and
"Steppenwolf Live."

Their music ranges across the spectrum of
today's ideas — from the driving "Born to Be
Wild," which has been called the greatest bike
song ever written, through songs like "Draft
Resister" and "Monster," criticizing the faults
of America, to "The Pusher," a six-minute
indictment of hard drug sellers.
