Gimme Danger

The lack of posts has not only been pure laziness but also a disastrously boring bootleg group on Usenet. I'm serious, unless you're a Uriah Heep or a Stevie Ray Vaughn fanatic there's been very little interesting recordings to be had. SRV falls into that category where those who love him, love him A LOT and then post everything he's ever done and eat up the bandwidth with boring blues. Then I found this sweet soundboard recording of the first reunited Iggy and the Stooges show in Sao Paulo, Brazil from 2009. Considering that James Williamson hadn't played a gig in 35 years, I think he sounds pretty great. While I previously tended to favour Funhouse above all others, I've come to really love the Raw Power era band and frankly Kill City is the best non-Stooges record he ever made. Also, Iggy's vocals have barely changed in 40 years. Compare and contrast the voice and also his physique with many of his other contemporaries. The old adage 'Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger' while usually completely false is clearly appropriate here.
