With an invited audience of 100, the gig was a "thank you" from musicians to the movement, said its organisers. Protesters at Occupy London had some surprise guests at a Christmas party last night.

Warren Haynes | home Steppenwolf (band) There were several changes in the group's personnel after the first few years.[1] Moreve was fired from the group in 1968 for missing gigs after he became afraid to return to Los Angeles, convinced by his girlfriend that it was going to be leveled by an earthquake and fall into the sea. Rob Black filled in for Moreve until former Sparrow bandmate Nick St. Nicholas came aboard. Monarch was fired in the spring of 1969 after incurring Kay's wrath for his many unprofessional actions. Larry Byrom, who'd been in TIME with Nick St. Nicholas, ably replaced Monarch. The band broke up after a farewell concert in LA on Valentine's Day, 1972. Following the first official breakup of Steppenwolf, and after the release of Kay's first solo album, a late summer and autumn 1972 tour in the USA and Europe occurred which featured Kay heading both The John Kay Band and Steppenwolf at the top the bill. After hearing of these multiple other Steppenwolf incarnations, John Kay became furious.
