Iggy and The Stooges - Live in Detroit 2003

Starring: Iggy Pop

RS: 3of 4 Stars

At this homecoming stop on the protopunk godfathers' 2003 reunion tour, Iggy is a writhing slab of howling gristle. Classics such as "Loose," "1970" and "TV Eye" burn hard, and when a few hundred folks stage-crash during "No Fun," it's downright moving. A revelatory in-store show rocks equally hard, with drummer Scott Asheton playing just a cardboard box, a suitcase and a bucket. Talk about raw power.
