John Kay & Steppenwolf put on an a great show, I was able to see them 2 years ago in a different venue, that was a much better venue but the show was not as long. I love the graphics and vintage videos, this concert had so much more than 2 years ago. This kind of reminded me of a high school auditorium, metal chairs on all one level floor. Nobody stood up, or even tried to snap a picture, very polite crowd, I wouldve of liked to at least rock out a bit at the end, especially the encore but this crowd was just to polite to even stand up and have a litle fun. I will never miss a John Kay & Steppenwolf show that is taking place in my area of the world but I will always hope for a better concert atmosphere!

One more band off my bucket list. The venue was intimate and John Kay and the band did not disappoint. Awesome video retrospective on two large screens synced with the music was a nice touch.

We could feel the wolf as we got in the Ho-chunk i knew, it was going to be a good night with Steppenwolf, Have been a fan of theres back to 1968! and have seen them 50 time's and have all there music. I guess the that night will not forget how the people there to see steppwolf got up out of there seat's and sang along, put there hands in the air! we all had fun, there were ages of people there from 16years old to 75 years old, hope to see them again some time when they are in the tri, state's. thank's Cool Donnie.

I am disabled and in a wheelchair. I and others in chairs were escorted in early and got front row seating in our section. The show was awesome! John Kay has not slowed down a bit despite his age. They played a lot of their older material, and the keyboard player put together old video footage, and it was played on the the big screens while the band played. Somehow they made it so it matched up with what was going on now and it was really kewl. I have seen this band before but it has been 25 yrs since the last time i saw them.

A great concert by an iconic band. Although, they only play a few dates a year now, the music selections were super. I was so excited to see that the band was to play in Wisconsin and they did not disappoint.

They played all their hits and then some. Not one note out of place. Only ones who beat them in a concert set is the Eagles. Not too shabby for Steppenwolf to be compared to The Eagles. I'm glad I seen them...

Held back doing their best songs till the later part of the show. Dangled the carrot too long. Many empty seats should have told them to wow the crowd. They didn't. We left early

The band was excellent, from the first chords of "Sookie Sookie" until the last chord of "The Pusher." Clear sound added to the enjoyment of the show, and every nuance could be separately discerned. Not too loud, not too soft - A great listening experience. John Kay's voice was still strong, and flowed throughout the show, and the other musicians were spot-on. All-in-all, a great night for R&R.

Steppenwolf put on a great show. Most of the crowd was older, as my daughter observed. They did all their old songs that everyone remembers. They do the same songs, in the same order as seen in other concerts. Are they using click tracks? They have recently added a bass player, seems to help. The only person from the original line up is John Kay. I think they sounded a bit better, perhaps more spontaneous with the original band members, but hey, this is the closest you will get to the old sound these days. Also, no telling how much longer they will be touring, so go see them if you can.

No cd or recording can come close to a live performance by this group. The lead guitar, bass, keyboard and drums come to life in those musicians hands. John Kay was phenominal with vocals and I loved the short introduction to each song and his explanation of what inspired him to write and record them.
