Well last night was fucking great, my ears are still ringing! I finally understand what Suicide are all about. I've never been able to get into their albums but at internal organ liquifying volume they are fuckin' amazing - Ghoooost Riiiideeer!
So on to the Stooges, what a super great show. Iggy seemed to be loving it, and dove in the crowd about 10 times. His voice was real good especially on the high notes. First they did all of Raw Power, starting with Raw Power itself - The crowd surged instantly, totally different from the stunned paralysis that Suicide seemed to induce (nothing wrong with that though).
For me the set reached a peak when they did I Got A Right, Dog and 1970 all in a row. The energy levels were amazing! If I had a pick a contender for best track of the night it would have to be Dog, the crowd went fucking nuts on this one. They rounded things off with Open Up and Bleed, Johanna and some Kill City stuff, a great night was had by all!

Yup! I was thinking of skipping them but am damn glad I didn't. There were several people behind me who just sat there during the Suicide gig with their hands over their ears it was quite funny. Suicide certainly beat the Stooges on volume levels!

Very good, mc. Glad you had a cool time.
Apparently Iggy changed his mind about stagediving!

Sound like you had a real cool time mc! Hope the 2'nd show will be just as good, maybe even with a different set-list? Thanks a lot for these pictures. Although they make me a bit sad, cause that I would love to be in that crowd and sing along to Dog! "No fun to be alone, in love... with nobody else"

The view from a bit nearer. Most of my pictures didn't come out very well, it was a bit busy downstairs

TMZ put some ugly pictures of Iggy on stage from the gig on their website and showed them on their TV program last night too. I think they're awesome pictures of Iggy with his rib cage all sticking out. There's like 10 pages of comments all talking about how nasty he looks. I hate them all! Guess those asshats never learned punk rock is NOT pretty. I wanted to call them out but you have to register to comment.
Donald ... Iggy is looking straight at YOU! Good job.

Hello Boys & Girls.
Just posted a couple of vids on YouTube. As you can see I was one of the "rich people"..... upstairs.
I would have had the Night Theme - Skull Ring - Beyond The Law medley too but someone behind me threw beer - I think it was beer - over my camera & it shut down.
