Well Zeke seemed really tall in another photo, it doesn't look like Scott to me, it could be Recca, it could be Cheatham and if it wasn't for the hair colour it could be Dave.

Then again it could just be a fan with Iggy and Ron after a 1970 gig.

I'm pretty certain its from 1970, Iggy's haircut says it all.

Pity you can't see Dave too clearly in this photo HL posted (Dave, OF COURSE, being the one on the left.)
That's a real cute cuddly toy though. If it IS a cuddly toy, and not something else.

Then this is almost certainly Dave on the right (compare the t-shirts):

Cuddly toys are awfully handy for stashing things...

Just because it's the same or similar t-shirt in both pictures doesn't mean it's the same person.

Its from the same photoshoot. The guy I now think is Dave has the same t-shirt (check the design) and leather jacket and Ron is wearing the same stuff. I say they're both Dave just ones from a wierd angle.

Honestly, it has to be a REALLY weird angle for him to look soooo different from one shot to the next (the changing hair colour is the least of it) it really is too much of a difference. and where the hell is Scott then? if it's the same shoot, it could equally be that Dave is in one photo and Scott in the other, and that's MORE likely

From a different angle with your eyes half shut it can make a hell of a difference. The colour quality between the two of them is so different.

I don't know, this could have been taking before or after a gig or could have been a proper photo shoot. Maybe Scott couldn't make it or wasn't there when the photos were being taken OR he is the pair of arms behind Iggy.

Look at the details:

The guy on the left looks like Dave to me. I'd say 1969-70.

No, I don't think its from 1969. Iggy had different hair. I say it's from the early 70's.

I posted that pic because it is better quality.

I thought that Scott was the one behind Iggy sticking his hands out from his neck doing that hand thing.

LOL

I wish I had never posted that pic now!

Best guess it's Los Angeles 1974-75. Has to be.

i think its 1970/71 and.. nicely spotted HL!! the hands coming from the back! must be scotty!

http://ww4.musicpictures.com/zoom/67261/200/

This website has the pic being taken in 1969, but they also have the unidentified Stooge named as Scott Asheton, which is a crock of shit.

And yeah HJW, I reckon the dude behind Iggy with his hands coming from behind are Scotty's!

all this just confirms to me that there's something def. wrong with my eyesight. To make it all worse, I even thought there wasn't any one person stood right behind Iggy, didn't look to be enough space for that, haha I thought that hand thing was actually Ron and Dave (Ron's right Dave's left)
anyway I've definitely given up now. I'm out of this debate for good

I actually think the photo was taken in 1974- '75

I'm sure its Dave now.

I'm pretty certain its from around 1970 just look at Iggy's haircut. Why would he be hanging out with Dave and Ron in 1974 or 1975? At that time he had a long hair didn't he?

I think that iggy and ron has very similar haircuts to the photos of them at "The death murder of a virgin" show. And if you look closely, Iggy has a small scar under his left eye. And if you look at the photos of iggy for creem magazine, it looks like he got it just recently. I'm pretty sure that the photos for creem was taken in '74.


I couldn't find any better pictures

Thats a some great spotting napalm_cheetah! Maybe its not Dave then as (supposedly) the last time they all saw him was at the "Raw Power" sessions.
