℗ 1972 Polydor Records 2383 101
Although this live recording lacks any of the poorly spelt hits from their studio efforts ("Gudbye Ta Jane" or "Mama, We're All Crazee Now") it can still stand in with the best of live music of the era. Opening with a cover of Alvin Lee and closing with the well known Steppenwolf anthem "Born to Be Wild" the fans got their money's worth on this particular night. If you're not familiar with the boys, they were glitter wearing, pub rocking, gravel voiced loonies and they proceeded to bring their British selves to the states to amuse, amaze and annoy any who felt up for it. Nice cover graphics both in and out. The album sleeve was shot at the Marquee Club in London. |

Get your motor running Head out on the highway Looking for adventure In whatever comes our way You're not gonna make it happen All the world is a loving place Fire all of your guns at once then Explode into space I like streaking lightning A heavy metal thunder Wrestling with the wind And the feeling that I'm under You're not gonna make it happen All the world is a loving place Fire all of your guns at once then Explode into space Like a true nature's child We were born, born to be wild We were flyin' so high, I never wanna die Born to be wild Born to be wild I like streaking lightning A heavy metal thunder Wrestling with the wind And the feeling that I'm under You're not gonna make it happen All the world is a loving place Fire all of your guns at once then Explode into space Like a true nature's child We were born, born to be wild We were flyin' so high, I never wanna die Born to be wild Born to be wild
