Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Here's a gem featuring two ricks at once; well almost. John's 381 is leaning against the amp behind him.

Now what could be hipper than this?

Steppenwolf were one of the coolest bands back then. When I watch their videos now, I suppose they still are to me.............

I bet Jim Morrison was watching JK's moves, and vice versa.

I agree Kira. Back then there was a lot of "borrowing" going on. Jimmy Page even did the "windmill" move for a while.

Great video.

I always liked Steppenwolf, hadn't thought about them in years though. Thanks for posting that!

steppenwolf was one of my first favorite rock bands,great lyrics,hooks,and john kay was just the schnizzel! i seem to remember seeing nick st nicholas playing a 4005 once,but i could be wrong. (it was only 40 years ago.... ) thanks for posting that,kira!

I saw them back in the day at the Forum with um... Three Dog Night.
I thought John Kay must have been on drugs, cause he always wore sunglasses.
Never dug the Afro/Beard look of the keyboardist.

That's really cool live footage! Thanks for posting it Kira. I knew I'd seen video footage of John Kay with a FG 381 before. In most of the period footage I've seen of JK with a 381, the guitar he's playing is a MG finished model.
