One of Rock's timeless Classic Rock jams was written by Mars Bonfire and recorded by the band Steppenwolf in 1968. It later went to hit #2 on the Billboard charts.

In 1975, the song was covered on Blue Oyster Cult's first live album On Your Feet or On Your Knees. It never had any chart success, but it was a great jam during their live concert performances and I had the chance to see then play it a few times here in Binghamton back in the mid 70's.
