‘Easy Rider’ Goes Live

The original soundtrack of the classic 1969 film Easy Rider, including Steppenwolf‘s theme song ‘Born To Be Wild,’ was performed live last week to a screening of the iconic movie, starring Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper. The show took place at the Mystic Theatre in Petaluma, California last Friday (14), and you can see a preview of it here.
The performance, presented by Sonic Cinema, featured a seven-piece band with music director Robert Powell on guitar, pedal steel and vocals; Tracy Blackman, vocals and guitar; Jesse Ray, vocals and harmonica; Jimmy Dillon, lead guitar and vocals; Tim Baker, bass; Chris Houston keyboards and accordion; and Eddie Berman on drums. As well as playing the score, they performed an additional set of songs. The project was created by Sonic Cinema’s Matthew Fassberg.
