OK, I didn't fit this one in with the other Iggy stuff in the next post. This is from Cincinnati in 1970, when the singer/songwriter thing was dominant and Iggy and the Stooges were, well, freaks - even to the freaks! There's a very famous still from this concert, of Iggy up on the shoulders of members of the audience (Iggy invented stage diving), taunting them, the apeboy gone wild.
What's great about this video isn't the fidelity or clarity - though given the subject, that's great - but the weird set-up, with an old guy in a both (with a young guy for "cred") calling the show like it's a ballgame. And then, when Ig dives into the audience, he says, essentially, "Time for a commercial!"
Catch the sax playing with the band during the end of the second song. Damn.
