Iggy Pop and the Stooges: Raw Power Live

History, at least rock and roll history, was made on Friday, Sept. 3, 2010 12 as the reformed Stooges’ (Iggy Pop, Scott Asheton, James Williamson, Steve Mackay, Mike Watt) took to the stage at the All Tomorrow’s Parties Festival to play all eight of the songs from their iconic album, Raw Power, live for the first time in decades. Thank god there were cameras there to capture the moment. The footage is as raw and messy as the music, but it’s perfect for watching the 63-year-old front man wiggle and dance his way across the stage as the powerful force of the music attacks the crowd. Fans have been waiting a lifetime for this disc; now it’s time for the rest of the world to watch one of the greatest garage bands to ever plug into an amp turn it up to 11.
