Iggy doing his best Jim Morrison impression! Cool footage. Looked like a rockin night, pity I hadn't been born yet!. The Stooges and MC5 now that IS a rock n roll gig for sure...Anthony
@johnnystaccata He was influenced by Jim Morrison. I wasn't comparing them as such, and you're right, Iggy is his own man, but when he was still a kid, Jim was abig influence on him. Read "Open up and Bleed", it's all there sir. Don't take it personally, it was just an observation. Johhny Staccato, my favourite T.V. series, John Cassavettes, pure jazz detective magic, and those opening titles...WOW. Oh, I just saw your name is 'Staccata'. Still, maybe yo're a Cassavettes fan anyway...A
@cottageorgan I think you are over emphasizing the influence of Morrison. The Doors popularity only preceded the Stooges recordings by a couple years. There are a lot of other influences including blues, rockabilly like Ivan (Real Wild Child), Bo Diddley, R&B (Louie, Louie), Phil Spector, Link Wray and The Trashmen. I am talking about a lot of that music that came before the Beatles. They were more contemporaries of the Doors, rather than being influenced by them.
Incredible footage! Thank you for posting it. This was a bit before my time--I only discovered The Stooges in 1976. I've always wished there was more film of their early performances. The Cincinnati Pop festival clip is amazing.
@lisalmitchell Yeah..he looks like the second coming,it's rumoured had Morrison's leather on.Amazing footage. The "Dum-Dum Boys"in their primal cooL.♠

@cottageorgan Iggy is his own man, don't be comparing him to Morrison. The only thing they had in common was their record label.
