If the live tracks on the new Iggy Pop anthology (A Million in Prizes) are anything to go by, I'd say fuck yes!

I saw him in late 2001 and it was totally incredible, wouldn't think twice about seeing him again.

Iggy still packs a mean punch live. I would recommend seeing them. If they suck, at least you can laugh at the old geezer on the stage, sorta like the Stones.

That's not gonna happen.

He might whip out his dick. And you'd not want to miss that.

Saw them Monday night at Bumbershoot. The best show I've seen since I was 15.

does anyone NOT think the stooges are good?

Carsmile Steve and Pete B saw them and both said they didn't think they were much cop

Well, they are both mentalists and I wouldn't trust either of their tastes. Because Ver Stooges are aces.

― Luminiferous Aether (kate), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 09:17 (twenty years ago)

Well neither of them like The Stooges, which answers the question posed above, rather neatly I think

i didnt go cos i thought they might be embarassing being 50 yr olds trying to act like theyre 25. suppose i was wrong. alas. PLEASE COME BACK TO LONDON IGGY!

― argh, Tuesday, 6 September 2005 09:23 (twenty years ago)

Back a couple years ago, I impressed our Alice by telling her about seeing the Ramones live.

I guess seeing Iggy would be off the scale. Mind you, she'd want to go herself I reckon.

London is where old rock stars come to tour... incessantly

― Raymond Douglas Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 09:24 (twenty years ago)

PLEASE COME BACK TO LONDON, STOOGES!!!

(Or just send the one member of yer crew, come to think of it.) ;-)

is there old video footage on bootleg DVDs out there of the stooges in the 70s? i saw some of it on the south bank show but dont seem to have ever seen it on ebay. i would love to see it. all ive seen is iggy performing on some american daytime tv chat show in the late 70s with bowie on keyboards during the time of the idiot (he does sister midnight) and that was amazing!

― argh, Tuesday, 6 September 2005 09:37 (twenty years ago)

Iggy last night, inviting "Seattle dancers!" onstage and haranguing the security staff: "Let 'em up! Goddamn it, what's it hurting you?!"

five years pass...

Reposting from If its not Iron Maiden, then its crap.

A freak thunderstorm that unexpectedly blew in from the Baltic Sea threatened to uproot Sonisphere Finland, but the bands, the crew and just as importantly the fans all pulled together and ensured the show went on. It was a true team effort. The biggest concern was the injuries sustained by some of the crowd. Thankfully the two people most seriously injured are no longer critical.
The storm lasted less than five minutes, but in that time it damaged the second stage beyond repair (it’s currently being held up by a crane), completely broke Mötley Crüe’s kit and soaked absolutely everyone at the festival. It was so bizarre you’d be tempted to believe Thor not to be outdone by the noise levels being produced by Anthrax and Slayer earlier in the day had a hand in it.
As Bruce Dickinson said on stage as he gave a rallying call to the crowd and introduced Alice Cooper: “The stage over there is completely fucked. Mötley Crüe have gone home as their stuff is fucked and our stuff is fucked, but we don’t care. We’re not going home until you go home.”
Iggy Pop was the first artist to get back up on stage. “We’re a small part of the fucking Stooges,” he said before playing an impromptu four-song acoustic set with his guitarist . For ‘I Wanna Be Your Dog’ he invited his saxophone player up on stage, holding his mike to the horn for amplification. It was something you are unlikely to ever witness again in front of a festival crowd and it blew people away. Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo was almost speechless afterwards: “That was. fucking phenomenal, really, really awesome and when the sax came out, well…”

and

really wanna hear that version of "I Wanna Be Your Dog"
