Live at the Whiskey a Go Go was recorded in 1973 at the infamous
Whiskey a Go-Go in Los Angeles and captures
the Stooges at a pivotal point, just as they were about to break up.
Iggy & the Stooges careen out of control as the singer taunts the audience and the band tries to keep it together. A handful of rarities, such as
"Head On," are featured in addition to a selection of material drawn mainly from
Raw Power, but the actual songs aren't that important -- it's how the band sounds, and they do sound raw, abrasive, and frightening. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
