John Kay & Steppenwolf live at My Father’s Place, Roslyn on 16th February 1980

Having kept a low profile in the late 70s, in 1980 a reinvigorated John Kay formed a new band and resumed performing under the legendary Steppenwolf name. This superb set, performed at My Father’s Place, Roslyn, NY on 16th February 1980, was broadcast on WLIR 92.7 FM, and captures the quintet tearing through a selection of the band’s best known material, as well as some lesser-known gems, and is presented here together with background notes and images.
