| Note | AKA "The Battle of New Orleans." Quality is superb, but what really makes this recording stand out from the pack is the interaction between Iggy and the audience. Unlike every other gig on the Stooges' reunion tour, this was no love-fest. In fact, the audience was downright hostile, and Iggy reacted as only he can. (He
pulls his cock out of the top of his pants, feigning masturbation. "I am YOU!") |

| Comment | The following concert review appeared in OffBeat Magazine, December 2003:
Artist: Iggy & the Stooges Date: November 1, 2003 Venue: Voodoo 2003, City Park, New Orleans "I am you, motherfucker," screams 56-year old James Osterberg. He pulls his cock out of the top of his pants, feigning masturbation. "I am YOU!" It's a warm Saturday evening in City Park, and James Osterberg - better known as Iggy Pop - is stood on the edge of the Voodoo stage berating a Metairie mall punk (young enough to be his granddaughter) for her utter indifference to his performance. You can't blame her, really. She's never seen the Godfather of Punk on MTV, never heard him on 106.7 The End. He's just some old fart she must endure for an hour before Marilyn Manson totters on in his high heels. "You suck like the bands you like," Iggy offers encouragingly, then spits at her. Alas, was it ever so. Nobody liked the Stooges in 1969, and precious few more seem to like 'em in the New Orleans of 2003. "No Fun" wakes a handful of kids from their slumber, but you have to suspect they are familiar with the song only from the Sex Pistols' cover. Guitarist Ron Asheton looks dressed for a trip around Home Depot, but those flashing Detroit fingers still work the fretboard like a master craftsman. Brother Scott pounds out the same simple, primal rhythms that drove the Stooges back in the day, while Ônew guy' Mike Watt holds it all together on bass in lieu of the late, great Dave Alexander. Amazingly, they've managed to dig up avant-jazz saxophonist Steve Mackay to reprise his role on 1970's Funhouse. The extraordinary three-song sequence that makes up side two of that album is played in its entirety, much to the delight of, well, me. There is enough applause to persuade Iggy to return for an encore, but he's gonna make 'em beg before he gives them a second rendition of "I Wanna Be Your Dog". Make your mind up, Jim. Are you the sadist, or the masochist, this evening? |
