Sounds great but t's difficult to hear the Iggy's voice (it sounds a little better on disc 2), I'm disappointed about that.. anyway a prefer metallic KO

Oh yeah baby, sweet jamming.

pretty good stuff

yay! cant believe samples are up, ive been waiting for them, listenin to i got a right, disc 1 track 1, sounding good

oh they've just stopped playing lol, iggy saying "now let's take it!", started up again, sounding good, guitars are good in it, great sound from the instruments, cant hear iggy though,well faintly hope the others are good

thank god they're up, we must be gettin closer to a release date, or at least an announcement

Sounds even better than I expected!

i wonder at what part you can hear him puke?! haha

Keeps getting better with each listen!

Is it just me that thinks it sounds crap ?

Ye gods! Now THIS is the full-blown guitar holocaust I've been waiting for.

I think it sounds pretty good for what it is, an audience recording.
The band sounds very powerful.

agree I mean it's a great show but the iggy's voice sucks can't hear it!

I've made better live recordings myself.

I don't think it's THAT great, it's good, at least in parts, but not that overwhelming, don't know what I was expecting!

I was expecting to at least hear Iggys voice.
Sounds like a fuckin' Karaoke backing track.

It can be heard on Vanity Ballroom gig, first of the tour, that the songs were startin' to get shape. Electric Circus performance shows how the stuff improved within a month. N***er Man sounds just perfect.

which ones niggerman again, is that see me dancing? (disc 2, track 5)

mc, I'm sure I read somewhere Iggy puked Vivid Green

Hey, I think you're thinking about the story in I Need More where Iggy says because he ate all that vegan stuff he shat green and they put up a sign saying "come see iggy he shits green"

HaaHaa, yes I think that's it, sorry I got my puke and shit all mixed up there.

yes you right , but it's a audience recording from 1971.........

I don't know much about the 1971 stuff at all, good to have a chance to listen to this though.

I've had the Starfighter bootleg for years, but this is actually the first time I can hear those tunes, so I'm not disappointed at all. I've heard (and made) better recordings, but never by a better band...

oh...it sounds sooooo good to hear this....but I'm really disappointed at the same time......

With technology as it is now.....they could have done a much better job on the vocals and still stayed true to the original sound...maybe it was a budget thing? Or more of a garage operation? Or a stupid engineer?

...now I"m really bummed....that was such a tease.....

From what I can hear, the third cd sounds like it'll be the most ace. Iggy's voice is there in the background and the guitar, bass and drums easily the heaviest. I really want to get to listen to the rest of it, almost a good teaser that only one song from it is up for listenin!


Bottom line, I'm pleased with what I'v heard with the preview thingy. I can't wait till the cds themselves will arrive.
And if they'd get the uganos gig out there'd be a document for 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973 and 74's stooges.

Considering this was a hand held recorder in the audience, it's pretty good.
I think the band (guitars and drums) was overpowering the PA and being a former soundman and a current studio engineer there would be no possible way to get the vocals any louder if they aren't there to begin with. Remember this was 1971 and PA's were very primitive then compared to now.

I think they did a good job on EQing what they had to work with, audience recordings from that era usually have no bass and sound like they came through a telephone.
