Iggy And The Stooges – Raw Power Live (In The Hands Of The Fans) – 180 Gram Vinyl Record
Released in 2011, Raw Power Live: In the Hands of the Fans captures Iggy and The Stooges delivering an electrifying performance of their iconic 1973 album Raw Power in its entirety. Recorded live at the All Tomorrow’s Parties festival in New York on September 3, 2010, this album was part of the In the Hands of the Fans series, in which contest-winning fans were given cameras to film the show, resulting in both a live album and a corresponding concert film. Featuring James Williamson on guitar, Scott Asheton on drums, and Mike Watt on bass, the album is a furious, high-energy revival of one of the most influential proto-punk records of all time.
Musically, Raw Power Live stays true to the spirit of the original album while capturing the unfiltered chaos and intensity of The Stooges’ live performances. From the explosive opening of “Raw Power” to the violent energy of “Search and Destroy”, Iggy Pop commands the stage with his unhinged, confrontational presence, proving that even decades later, he remains one of rock’s most electrifying frontmen. Williamson’s razor-sharp, blues-drenched guitar riffs give the songs a raw, cutting-edge quality, while Watt’s thick, driving basslines and Asheton’s pounding drums keep the energy relentless. The album also includes tracks like “Gimme Danger”, which maintains its eerie, brooding atmosphere, and “Shake Appeal”, a fast-paced garage rock assault that gets the crowd moving.
Unlike previous live recordings, Raw Power Live benefits from modern production clarity, making the sound both raw and powerful while still capturing the grit and unpredictability of a Stooges show. For fans of punk history, blistering guitar work, and Iggy Pop’s legendary stage presence, this live album stands as a testament to the enduring power of The Stooges’ music.
