♪♫ I like to dream yes, yes, right between my sound machine

On a cloud of sound I drift in the night

Any place it goes is right

Goes far, flies near, to the stars away from here

Well, you don't know what we can find

Why don't you come with me little girl

On a magic carpet ride

You don't know what we can see

Why don't you tell your dreams to me

Fantasy will set you free

Close your eyes girl

Look inside girl

Let the sound take you away

Last night I held Aladdin's lamp

And so I wished that I could stay

Before the thing could answer me

Well, someone came and took the lamp away

I looked around, a lousy candle's all I found

Well, you don't know what we can find

Why don't you come with me little girl

On a magic carpet ride

Well, you don't know what we can see

Why don't you tell your dreams to me

Fantasy will set you free

Close your eyes girl

Look inside girl

Let the sound take you away ♪♫

What a fucking out-of-tune over-reverbed piece of shit. The fucking producer should be taken out and shot. There are some painfully obvious studio overdubs that are full on homosexual quality. What a fucking embarrassment.

Want to know what it's like to bear a 40 year grudge? Go back to 1974, lend your favourite LP to someone who doesn't return it. That's what it's like. Then again, I'm no paragon of virtue.

I still have the original Steppenwolf Live album that I bought when it arrived in stores in the spring of 1970. The cover's a little beat up around the edges and the vinyl has some light scratches, BUT I HAVE IT!!!

@ELGROOVER I think the only major live album from that time period that was 'faked' was Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company. The three or four 'live' tracks on that were performed in the studio with crowd sounds from the Fillmore mixed in to make it sound more impressive. But Janis and Sam and the boys admitted to this from Day One, so I guess we can say it was faked but not hidden--no deceit intended. In other words, they were having a larf! Cheers for the groovy uploads!
