The Stooges - Down on the street (live 1970)

[goducks20101]

I'm not really up to date in terms of music history, but at the time this song and MC5's "Kick out the jams" put Led Zeppelin to shame.

[ZLUGGO]

Brilliant!

[fantasykissass]

Damn!!!!!!!!!1 Look at those speakers. They must have been loud as fuck.

[danielgirard]

@fantasykissass They were!! I first saw the Stooges in the fall of 1969 at the Grande in Detroit. I was only 13 at the time. Their opening group believe it or not, was the ALLMAN BROS. The next time I saw them was in the early spring of 1973 when I was 17. they were playing at the Ford auditorium in downtown Detroit to promote their album "Raw Power" I will never forget when they lurched into the opening chords of "Raw Power" it was pretty intense!!

[honeyflymusic]

@fantasykissass in those days you had to have bigger amps because the PA systems weren´t powerfull enough to get the sound across. plus in the open it´s a different story than inside ofcourse. still loud as fuck I guess

[Hoofjob]

One day my band CANDY will be good, like stooges

[izzypop100]

this is totally badass!!!



[acjody13]

Anyone know where the audio footage of this concert is from?

[sahbian]

The picture is very Sabbath-y looking.

[TheLizardRox]

@sahbian Well, it was 1970. I would even venture to say the Stooges are at least as important as Black Sabbath.

[rickatart]

@SpyridonKaprinis well said. Iggy never needed face paint, props, laser light shows etc...Just his band and some speakers were enough. The Stooges were so damn raw and authentic, # 1 in my book.

[felicer]

rocks.

[sgrroiii]

One mans mistake is another mans ........... uhhh ........ nonmistakey thingee .

[Koolkitties]

@sgrroiii Yeah. I think it's more like something you need to see. This is probably around late 1970, 71 when they started dissolving with Don Galluci refusing to do a third album, Iggy on cocaine etc

[mobile513]

@Koolkitties

I think the picture's good enough. Just, like, close your eyes, and imagine that stoned dude walkin like an *angry* motherfucker...it's sooooo badass! There's holes in the stacks dude, Stooges didn't give uh fuck! Brootz! I can see it now, bright afternoon sky, a shaky camera, a cool wind comes over and lifts the Iggsters hair... and he errupts like a rock n' roll barbarian!! "I'm LAUST!! I'M LAWST!! I"M LOST!! YE-AH!!"

[Koolkitties]

The stooges were really, really unfocused back then. Every recording I've heard of them from this period has had really obvious mistakes.

[psychkoala]

@Koolkitties

Well, yeah... when you're stoned out of your mind lack of focus could be somewhat of a problem.

[vanmanradio]

@Koolkitties ha ha ha

[TheTHESTOOGE]

@Koolkitties yeah the heroin took its tool. plus you can only party 24/7 so long before everthing falls apart

[D0oD0oBrain]

@Koolkitties Punk rock wasn't cut out for perfection.

[sonicsteev]

[revttcoco]
