Taper’s Choice Nod to Phish’s Thematic Spelling Setlist in Colorado Goose Welcome Margo Price and Cory Wong at Sacred Rose in Chicago
Pop’s response, “Interestingly, we re-recorded it tonight.” Iggy commands the audience to join him onstage and dance and they oblige during “Shake Appeal.” Asheton, Williamson, Watt and Mackay delightfully stretch out on “Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell” and acknowledge a debt to the blues “I Need Somebody.” Already sated by this historic evening, the set then doles out a few bonuses – more Stooges chestnuts including “1970 (I Feel Alright),” “I Wanna Be Your Dog” and “No Fun.”Īt one point during the fan interviews, Pop, Asheton and Williamson are asked how they would approach “Raw Power” differently if the album was recorded today. If you’re not sucked in by the primal force of the title track when it opens the 75-minute set then your rock ‘n’ roll loving credentials should be questioned. Already revered as a classic, this live presentation only reinforced the work as the DNA for scores of bands over the years and the conduit for generations to come. Instead, the camera positions and the post-production give the impression of the viewer actually being a part of that night’s crowd.įor this ATP performance Iggy and the Stooges, which includes Mike Watt on bass and Steve Mackay on saxophone, play the entire “Raw Power” album rearranged from the record’s original 1970 tracklist. And it’s nice to see that the replies are treated with the respect they deserve and given with just as much thought.Įven the editing doesn’t follow the infuriating formula of using quick cuts to create the appearance of high energy. The questions they have for the band members show their deep interest the culmination of years and, sometimes, decades of listening to the music and collecting anything related to the legendary act. These are serious students of the influential band and they are chosen to sit in for the rest of us music geeks.
#IGGY AND STOOGES RAW POWER PRO#
Because of the six ultra-devotees selected to film the show and interview members Iggy Pop, Scott Asheton and James Williamson, the overall product has a layer of punk rock street cred that would be lacking if a group of pro cameramen took positions around the stage and presented the usual range of shot selections.
(That was the anarchic spirit of that film.) Taking its cues from these Stooges diehards, this is more than just a concert document of the Stooges performance at 2010’s All Tomorrow’s Parties music festival. Unlike the Beastie Boys’ “Awesome: I…Shot That!” it doesn’t just hand over cameras to fans and let ‘em run amok. Raw power, the album that almost single-handedly detonated the punk-rock movement in the next few years after its release - became the album against which all others were measured, where it remains to this day.Raw Power Live: In the Hands of the Fans works perfectly from concept to recording to end result. Like a lot of albums ahead of their time, upon initial release Raw Power was embraced by the forward thinking 'disenfranchised youth' world-wide - the punks in training, rather than the mass pop culture.
Produced by Iggy Pop and mixed by David Bowie, it was the confluence of the Stooges' ages, hormones, creativity, ability, experience, tastes, lack of supervision, contempt for authority, and ambition that has made Raw Power one of the most influential albums of all time. First released on Columbia records in 1973, the savagely bombastic Raw Power by Iggy and the Stooges is perhaps the first record that could truly be called punk. Nearly 45 year since the initial recording sessions began in the summer of 1972, the controversy surrounding Raw Power has never abated and has only added to the album's mythic status. This double LP version includes the originally released David Bowie mix of the album on the first LP and the latter remixed version by Iggy Pop himself on the second LP.
