Nobody has rocked the joint before or since like The Stooges did that night. James Williamson was truly astonishing, it was hard to believe he hadn't touched a guitar for over thirty years.
I thought that The Stooges couldn't match the night they played "Fun House" back in 2005, which was the best gig I have ever seen.
It was a fantastic night, I agree about the Funhouse gig in 2005, to hear those songs played at that volume was never going to be topped ..... until that Raw Power performance. Williamson looked like a roadie just tuning up but when he played ...... well , you were there, so know that words cannot really describe the feeling.
Lucky bastard. The London ATP gig?
ReplyDeleteThis is a great album though, tune after tune
yeah, it was part of ATP.
ReplyDeleteThey also played other Pop/Williamson songs - I got a Right, Johanna, Cock in my Pocket, Kill City, Open up and Bleed + Dog, 1970, Funhouse.
Suicide were the support - so loud it was like listening to a small war going off in your skull.
