They played a set in the late 90's at one of the big outdoor rock festivals I used to work security at. I was working the VIP area as I recall, overlooking the massive stage, when lo and behold there they were, THE Iron Butterfly, playing this song no less. I saw dozens of 60-70 yr olds literally running, or at least fast-walking, from their campsites to the stage area to catch their act.
It was surreal.
Steppenwolf was among the headliners of that fest that year as I recall. I worked the pit in front of the stage that night, and as rain poured down on 30,000 people they blasted out "Born to be wild".... again, it was a surreal moment I'll never forget.
