Album of the Day

The Stooges broke up following a notoriously chaotic show at Detroit's Michigan Palace on this day in 1974 and if you want a taste of how they sounded in concert during their original run, check out HAVE SOME FUN: LIVE AT UNGANO'S. To celebrate the release of FUN HOUSE in the summer of 1970, The Stooges brought the uncompromising ferocity of their second album to Ungano’s, a hole-in-the-wall club on New York's Upper West Side. A reel-to-reel set up in the audience recorded the manic maelstrom as the band performed the entire album (except “L.A. Blues”); the adrenalin-drenched set features singer Iggy Pop, guitarists Ron Asheton and Bill Cheatham, drummer Scott Asheton, bassist Zeke Zettner and saxophonist Steve Mackay. The band closes LIVE AT UNGANO'S with a 10-minute-plus psychedelic freak-out jam featuring two unreleased tracks - “Have Some Fun” and “My Dream Is Dead.”
