Background: Originally released in 1970, Steppenwolf Live was the first offficial live album by Steppenwolf.

The album was mostly recorded at the Santa Monica (California) Civic Center in early 1970 when the band was touring for their Monster LP.  The tracks “Hey Lawdy Mama,” “Twisted,” and “Corrina, Corrina” were recorded in the studio and overdubbed with crowd sounds and reverb to give them impression that they were live recordings.

The album reached #7 on the U.S. charts and #15 on the UK charts.

Allmusic.com gave Steppenwolf Live this review:

The title says it all. Recorded at various concerts during early 1970, Steppenwolf includes all their hits for mass consumption. Stretched out versions of “Born to Be Wild,” “The Pusher” and a ten-minute “Monster” satisfied many a fan. Heavy indeed!
