Updated gig list

Petrie thanks.
Will delve in and do some homework, great finds.

Forgot one ...

Issue dated October 3rd, 1970 ...

"From The Music Capitals Of The World" column

"Chicago ... Scott Doneen, formerly with American Tribal Productions and now promoting rock concerts on his own, is bringing in Atco's Dr. John, Mercury's Buddy Miles Band, Elektra's Stooges and Happy Tiger's Mason Proffit for one show at the Aragon, Friday (2)"

Jim,

Was just looking at the updated list. I am not sure if I already told you this but that Madison WI date in 73 was cancelled. We were all snowed in at the time. No planes for me to get home and the roads were so bad the guys could not drive to Madison. It took 2 more days to get home and I was stuck in Ann Arbor with nothing to do, LMAO.

Also, that Monroe College date in Dec 70 went on, but the Stooges never did play.

Email me if you need more info, Just in a hurry so I thought I'd respond here.

Hope all is well, Natalie

Natalie,

The more information the more merrier.

Jim,

Let's make it merrier. When you are ready to do an update, if you send a draft, I'll coordinate it with you.

Am making my list of gigs to insure I have all the gigs I need to write about and I know there are some other changes we talked about a while ago. Do you still have the info I sent ?

If you don't, let me know and I'll add it along with my notes on gigs. Thanks.

Did the Stooges ever play Minneapolis? The list shows a '71 show with the 2 guitar line up, but my bass player swears he saw them with the original lineup in '70 doing some sort of Detroit package show.

Studio Guy,

I never saw them in Minniapolis and I never heard about a Detroit package show. The original line up ended August 8th at Gooselake. I saw the band at Unganos and Asbury Park the following week. Zeke had started to play bass on stage with them and Dave was gone.

If your friend can give a more specific time frame, maybe we can do some research. However, my best guess would be no, they did not play there in 1970.

Sorry I can't shed any more light.

It would have been in the spring (Mar or Apr), I'm guessing he was wrong and it was the '71 show. He said it was at the Depot (1st Ave Now)

Rod

March or April of 71 would have been Iggy, Ron, Scott, Jimmy R and James, not the original band.

Something's not right in River City.

Something's not right in River City.

I'll have to talk to him and get more details (other bands on the bill etc) he did mention there was a wall of Marshall amps surrounding the band and they were hell bent on knocking some over much to the dismay of the roadies.

Wall of Marshall's sounds like Ron and James duel guitars.

Get more info if you can and I'll try and dig up something.

Here's what my friend emailed about the show.


"--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Funny you should mention this because it will be 40 years ago this Saturday.
It was Friday, March 20, 1970 at the Met Center in Bloomington. It was called "The Met Center Rock Festival" and I think it cost all of $5.00.

The lineup was:
The Litter
Brownsville Station
SRC
(Sweetwater & Rotary Connection were scheduled to play, but didn't)
The Amboy Dukes featuring Ted Nugent
The Stooges
Grand Funk Railroad
Canned Heat
"--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I thought it was at the Depot but I was wrong

Update I found this link, look under 1970 here

Another Stooges gig list, I imagine it borrows heavily from here:

70-71 http://rockprosopography102.blogspot.com/2010/03/stooges-performance-list-1970-1971.html

nice point MC...thanks for post!!!!

i love this

After the concert Iggy was arrested for "obscene acts in public places" because it had inadvertently showed his private parts after the sudden opening of his pants's zipper (!!).


and

'Somebody's sucking my dick, somebody's sucking my dick!'. Finally, bored of the attention, he screamed, 'Give me my cock back, you bitch!' and continued the performance.



I have a question ... here are pictures of bimbos on one photo iggy has black shorts on the other with white spots and the last picture wearing white briefs

It's the same show ?

SAN FRANCISCO - 1974: Iggy Pop of the Stooges performs live at Bimbo's Club in 1974 in San Francisco, California Date created:01 Jan 1974 ...This is written for all 3 images

Also, I think the 01/1974 show at the Victory Burlesque can be pinpointed as 1/25. The owner of this blog lists it as 1/25, and he does seem to be a meticulous note-taker! http://dorseylandmusicvenues.blogsome.com

I've sent him an email to verify.

Point taken.

Must have deleted the March 3, 1968 gig with Blood, Sweat & Tears some time ago, obviously.
My bad.
Stooges played Feb. 18 with the Byrds, have a Fifth Estate newspaper ad for the gig.
Thanks for the correction.

Here was his response:

Hi Michael,

I wish I could help you with this, but I can't say definitively one way or another whether there was a second show that day. My gut feeling is that there wasn't, because I vaguely remember the unusual start time of 11pm made it a very special event, designed specially for night creatures.

On the other hand, maybe I felt that was because we had the choice of an 11pm show. Unfortunately the guy I went to the show with died some years back, so we can't see if his memory was any better than mine.

I was looking up stuff on this site today, and it seems to have some Stooges dates that aren't on the lists above:

http://theconcertdatabase.com/artists/stooges

For instance, two shows that I probably could have walked to if I had known about the band at that age (I remember hearing about one of these after the fact from my school classmates, quite likely the first time I had ever heard of the band):
The Stooges 09/27/1970 Früt Palace, The Mount Clemens MI USA
The Stooges 11/15/1970 Früt Palace, The Mount Clemens MI USA

They have separate listings for different versions of the band:
http://theconcertdatabase.com/artists/psychedelic-stooges
http://theconcertdatabase.com/artists/iggy-stooges

Note these are only SE Michigan concerts...

Jim/Per, here are some flyers that I've never seen before, the 1st 2 for gigs not on your list:

Thursday 28th August 1969


Friday 22nd May 1970

Great finds. Really like the first one for Mt. Holly. It was a concert venue during the summer, ski resort in the winter.

Someone else must've really liked the Mt Holly one too, it sold for $369 on Ebay.

That's a lot of cash for a torn ad. But the art is great as are the bands, plus it's likely near to one of kind.
