Find the early 70s movie "Easy Rider." It's a classic with Peter Fonda, Jack Nicholson, and Dennis Hopper.

Easy Rider is a late sixties movie not a seventies movie. I hate incorrect information.

The video is from the 1969 movie, Easy Rider. Great film. Peter Fonda is driving one bike, Dennis Hopper the other. That's Jack Nicholson behind Fonda in one of Jack's earliest movies before he became a gigantic movie star. Hopper was a great actor too. Peter Fonda is the brother of Jane Fonda and son of the legendary actor, Henry Fonda.

"heavy metal thunder!" Now you know where that comes from.

SO, it's late 69' 0r 70' , late at night, sitting at a lonely red light in Euless Texas, windows down on my '67 Firebird and this song is blasting out on the 8 track tape player. I hadn't noticed, but a car has pulled up next me, also windows down on a hot summer night. Inside the car are a bunch of nuns in full nun outfits, all with their mouths hanging open at the song! I just waved and laughed and peeled out down the road.

The Easy Rider movie came out at a time of major generational upheaval in America. Vietnam, assassinations, long hair, short hair, drugs, movies, music and us against them. What a time to come of age and know you have to grow up and find your way

Born To Be Wild is an iconic tune ... Nice to see Steppenwolf live.

Concert is from 86.

1969 directed by Dennis hopper

The front man was born in Germany; his family moved to Canada when he was hitting his teens. Started a band, and like numerous others they headed to the San Francisco Music Mecca in the late 60s.

Pusher Man is from 1972. Easy Rider was huge and started a youth trend in movies that never ended. Fonda, Hopper, and Nicholson were quite a trio of stars. "Born" is used in so many movies, often ironically in comedies. Their other song to hear is Magic Carpet Ride, their second big hit.

A real classic there.

DaMM ! That Pusher Man !!!

Yep, I remember the wind blowing through my hair while pedaling really fast on my Schwinn. Easy Rider was the movie. Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, Jack Nicholson, and an unknown Toni Basil. "The Pusher" was praised by President Nixon.

I like smoking lightning heavy metal thunder racing with the wind and the feeling that I'm under❤

Watching someone look at that and NOT know it's "Easy Rider" and Jack Nicholson, Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda on the bikes, was surreal. lol Don't mean that in a bad way, as you're just younger than I am and haven't seen it, but it was still very weird. lol Definitely check it out, man, it's a classic.

I laughed out loud when you asked whether these were the guys from steppenwolf. You have a great movie watching experience in store.

This video is a clip from the Easy Rider movie. The song was featured in the movie .

Drug use encouraged in the 60s?!?! Let me count the ways..... The Pusher differentiates between a dealer and a pusher and makes the good point between grass and pills vs. heroin.

It's not an anti-drug song. It's a anti-hard drugs song. They explain the difference from the dealer and the pusher.

The Pusher is live from Nashville - 1988.

This is from Easy Rider the movie..it was the sound track..Peter Fonda Jack Nickelson and Dennis Hopper were the actors you saw..This was Peter Fonda's creation.. 1969

Just a perfect song

Stephen wolf was my first concert in the early 70s. They gave Bob Seger the chance to open for them.

The first concert I ever saw was Steppenwolf in 71 with Alice Cooper as the opener. Great reaction!

Growing up at this time - I put Steppenwolf in my top 5 of bands that the parents absolutely hated. (J. Airplane, Doors, Stones and I guess Black Sabbath was pre 70's).

Easy Rider is an iconic film from that era, but none of the band members were in the film; this song WAS in the film soundtrack though. I saw John Kaye's Steppenwolf (what he called it later when he took that music on the road with a different band) in the 1980's at Summerfest in Milwaukee. He was outstanding!

"Born To Be Wild" and "The Pusher" originate from Steppenwolf's debut album, but both songs were featured in the iconic 1969 counter culture movie "Easy Rider", as well as on it's great soundtrack. The video you saw for "Born To Be Wild" was a series of clips from this movie. You should also check out the following, also on the Easy Rider soundtrack: "Don't Bogart Me" by The Fraternity of Man, and "If 6 was 9" by The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

Both songs were popular when I was in high-school, and I graduated in 1972.

No the guys on the motorcycle is the actors in Easy Rider, Peter Fonda, with the helmet with stars and stripes. His passenger is Jack Nicholson, he had a small role, but that is the one that really got him noticed, the other one is Dennis Hopper who already had been in some big movie's he was in "The Giant", with Rock Hudson and Elizabeth Taylor. The movie is from 1969, I went to it with a date, I was living in New York City at the time.

Peter Fonda is Captain America riding the Captain America motorcycle. Supposedly that chopper was extremely dangerous to ride.

I went to see Steppenwolf at Beggars Banquet in Toronto, Canada, in 1971. Also included were bands Bread, Blood Rock, Beach Boys, Alice Cooper, Lighthouse, and Chilliwack. The entire concert was a fabulous experience. BTW...price of admission was 4 bucks!...yes!...4 bucks!!! Multiple band concerts at those prices were quite common in those days.

Another fantastic cover they did of songwriter Hoyt Axton’s is Snowblind Friend.

Hoyt Axton famously starred in a classic 80s movie as the inventor dad who discovers "Mogwi" in a Chinese market. The movie was GREMLINS. He wrote the Pusher,

"The Pusher"; Single by Steppenwolf; from the album Steppenwolf; B-side Released, January 1968 (album) March 1970 (single).

Those two songs came out in 1968.

SAW THESE GUYS IN A BAR, IN CALGARY 1986, UP CLOSE N PERSONAL. ROCK ON 👊🖖

The tv station broadcasting the video was in business from 2005 to 2014, but could have originally been filmed earlier.

Saw Steppenwolf back in the '70s...people kept yelling for "The Pusher" and John Kay was pissed off because he wanted to play newer songs...

Peter Fonda, Jack Nicholson Dennis Hopper from the movie easy Rider Jack Nicholson is behind Peter Fonda with the football helmet on Dennis Hopper was a Director of the movie

THE BEST SINGLE BY STEPPENWOLF WAS "Magic Carpet Ride"

I saw them back in the summer of 1990 in Toronto and they were extremely loud and great and on tour in support of their album Rise and Shine,good times!

Concert somewhere between the late 90's to early 2000's. One of my old bands was on the same bill around that time. John was the only original member left, but they still put on a hell of a concert.

You mentioned song writer Hoyt Axton. He also composed a minor Ringo hit: "The No No No Song" another antidrug and anti booze song It was on Goodnight Vienna which came after the 1973 "Ringo" Album which had the track "You're Sixteen" that you played once.

In my college Fraternity a rumor circulate that a specific Steppenwolf song had clues to a particular ceremony in the Frat. Of course, this was bunk as none of the members of the band ever attended college or participated any Fraternity's rites. Still the song was played after every initiation. Amazing how myths and urban legends get started and then have a life of their own.

I remember the Pusher song from the late sixties.

Steppenwolf what a cool band, Born to be wild is one of the most iconic songs of the 60s, but my favourite steppenwolf song is probably Dont step on the grass sam!!

The pusher looks likes and sounds early 80s . The effects on the guitar are much later than the 60s

Suggest listening to “Snowblind Friend”, “Monster” (especially these days) and “Rock Me”. Always have been a fan of Steppenwolf. Easy Rider is worth the time to watch, good for understanding the 60’s.

This is from the movie "Easy Rider." That's Jack Nicolson on the back.

A bit of trivia… Dennis Hopper was channeling some David Cosby with his character in this movie

A rocket ride back to high school!

In the video are the 3 actors in the movie. Dennis Hopper, Peter Fonda, and Jack Nicholson. Couldn't have a better group of guys. All wild and into the counter culture movement of the late 60's.

What a way to feel really old…”are these members of the band” oh my goodness lol

Magic Carpet Ride

Lee this is the movie easy rider directed by dennis hopper. Peter fonda is captain America helmet. Jack Nicholson is on the back of bike. Great movie from 1969.. the soundtrack you should check out

My favorites are “Rock Me Baby” and “Magic Carpet Ride”

“Screaming Night Hog”!

The video depicts Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper and Jack Nicholson from the iconic movie Easy Rider.

Cool tracks, I played the vinyl 45 of "Born To Be Wild" in a "Rock with a Message" set. The film "Easy Rider." is an epic journey.

Pretty sure that concert was in Nashville in 1988 at The Cannery.

Both songs are from the 1969 film Easy Rider.

Easy Rider, probably the most famous cult classic movie to ever exist.

I saw Steppenwolf in Decatur Illinois in 1981. Muddy Waters opened the show. Steppenwolf of course sounded great, but he singer John Kay was getting SO pissed off because the spotlight operator kept taking the spotlight of him and shining it on the lead player when John Kay was singing. THEN when lead player started playing a lead, the spotlight operator would take the off of the lead player and shine it on John Kay when he was standing there playing Rhythm. This went on and on, and with each song he got more pissed off. I think we got a shortened because of it. But they were great.

Looking at John Kay the lead singer from Steppenwolf looks somewhat older here so perhaps late seventies. I saw an interview with him from the late sixties or early seventies. The Pusher is the opening song to Easy Rider.

Late 80's concert... My guess is 1988... Definitely prior to their 1990 album release Rise & Shine.

The best live version of The Pusher is SteppenWolf Live with a wild wolf on the cover. 1970

The pusher is early seventies. I have this live album

Such a great band !

Are these guys Steppenwolf. I laughed so hard. 😂😂😂

P.S. I think I was wrong about the timing of Easy Rider, 1969 was the first year I moved from Ct. to NYC, but I think it was later I so the movie, I remember iwas in the fall Oct. Nov. so 1970 1971.

If there is a theme song of the 60s it’s Born to Be Wild! This is Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, Jack Nicholson from the era Indie hit EASY RIDER!!

They were in the Movie. Born to be Wild

I love your comments during this epic song and clips from the movie Easy Rider.. 😂😅

Nice reaction, I don;t know when this was recorded but he is not the young man I saw in 71.

If you want your ears blasted, listen to Slade's version of Born To Be Wild from their 1971 album Slade Alive.

You should do a reaction to Steppenwolf - "Screaming Night Hog" 1970. It was filmed in American recording studio and kicks ass!
