Live at the Whisky A Go-Go in Bloomington, MN

Live at the Whiskey a Go Go
was recorded in 1973 at the infamous
Whiskey a Go-Go
in Los Angeles and captures
the Stooges
at a pivotal point, just as they were about to break up.
Iggy & the Stooges
careen out of control as the singer taunts the audience and the band tries to keep it together. A handful of rarities, such as
"Head On,"
are featured in addition to a selection of material drawn mainly from
Raw Power
, but the actual songs aren't that important -- it's how the band sounds, and they do sound raw, abrasive, and frightening. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
