| It is a bootleg. Johnny Winter is said to have performed with Jimi that evening too. Oh and I meant that Morrison is just really drunk ![Smile](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_smile.gif) I didn't say he's not cool ![Smile](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_smile.gif) | |

| Mine's a Japanese CD with OBI called "Super Sessions" or something like that (I'll check when I get home), this version appears to be legit. It has been booted numerous times though. The sound quality on mine is pretty good whereas I've heard lots of people saying it's crap on their boots so maybe the Japanese have sourced a 1st gen tape or a new source entirely.
Jonny Winter does not play on this despite of what it says on the cover. | |

. mc, that's one of the best and most accurate descriptions of Ron's playing that I ever came across. Cheers! ![cheers](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_cheers.png) and no doubt this'll sound corny, but really Ron gets into the spirit of the music, you can hear that, instead of letting his ego get in the way, as you say. Sadly a lot of guitarists do let their ego get in the way.... Just those goddam show-offy solos and stuff. I used to be a sucker for a fancy solo and a good tune, now what matter to me most is groove and just pure sound. | |

I also remember while reading that. But still have no damn clue who did Jimi play with that evening. | |

| Bobyoung: I'm a musician too. But I don't use that to add to how I think personaly about things. That's just shit.
Outside that box. The thing you speak of as band parody is outworldy, I don't even know how you came to put the band together with such words. I'v never seen a band puzzle together blues, funk and jazz in such manner as the Stooges. Friends I have who says their hardcore when it comes to the music to sound complex(They either listening to speedy metal or unforgivenly played jazz on guitar) get stuck in their thinking listening to Funhouse. How a such simple album can sound so much, in so many ways.
Raw power is a really good album. One of the best there is. But while listening to Funhouse, it sometimes feels like nothing. | |

| Borntohula, I'd be interested to know what you think about the Stooges' debut album too! I know 'Funhouse' is just incredible but I always feel that the only thing that's even more incredible is that first album. | |

| As I'm FOREVER pondering this issue, I've just thought of a possible reason why Ron's guitar sounds so good, especially on those first two albums. Maybe it was literally alive! A real living, breathing guitar, that just LOVED to pour out sound... I reckon that's a good an explanation as any. OK, now back to serious debate ... | |

| wonder if he ever reads this board, haha ... but, just to get a bit maudlin, I don't just admire his guitar-playing, I also enjoy his interviews, he seems to be a born raconteur, and I just like the sense of individualism I get from him, he always seems to do things his own way, the way he's kept plugging away over the decades, just going on doing his thing even tho it was scarcely profitable for him to do so, and all. Of course this present-day revival with The Stooges is the very least he deserves - him and his brother, both! Altho, as I've remarked elsewhere, people still generally DON'T appear to understand, really, what this band is all about. OK, this particular spate of hero-worship is over! ![Very Happy](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_biggrin.png) | |
