I was looking where is the Esquire on video. :lol:

No Esquire, just a the end of the page;

Michael Monarch: I cranked my Fender Concert amp full open. Then I took my Fender Esquire and leaned into the amp, to overload it and create midrange-to-bottom feedback. I was being real physical with the instrument, bending notes and hitting the strings hard with the bottom of my fist so the strings would touch the pickup underneath.

Normally, they never touch, so when they did, it made a chugging sound, like a space ship landing. I gave the guys in the booth about 30 seconds of that. Then they asked me to do it all again. I did, but it came out different, of course. What you hear on the record’s opening are the two takes I recorded overlapping.

The video depicts Steppenwolf lip-synching their way through an appearance on the Smothers Brothers show, likely in 1969. It bears no relationship whatsoever to the text of the WSJ article.
