Steppenwolf-The Pusher, live at The Matrix, San Francisco, 1966
Starts out with a scary improvisation before going into the song itself. They say prog developed from psychedelia, and if so this is a prime example. I wonder if Michael Giles owned this album? I wonder how much acid and weed was consumed that night? The improv starts to jell at the 2 minute mark, then really gets wild after 3 minutes until it starts to morph with The Pusher at around 13 minutes. It also sounds to me like the band was channeling Pink Floyd telepathically from a smoky underground London club thousands of miles away. Anyway to these old prog-ears this recording sounds to me like some dark prog. What's your thoughts?
