Really glad for the show and the great bootleg that is freely available as well!


yeah i guess that is why , the radio recording, why the show is well known…on another board  i posted about how i was grateful to have seen the stooges at a club show in 2007 (my avatar shows i a from dc i guess) and someone from switzerland chimed in "The 930 Club show!!!!!!!!!"

its a show that whoever i talk to has fond memories of… funny thing is i had an extra i couldn't give away and tried to sell at the front of the club..well i got like $15 for it in the end but i felt insulted…mind you there is nobody worse at getting rid of extras or selling them out front or wherever…

For sure that show is one of my greatest concert memories ever.  Saw them in NY the same year but dc show was better.

and now Iggy says they have no plan to play as The Stooges again. I'm also glad I saw them with James Williamson a few times, including the classic ATP New York Show available on DVD, and a few cool European shows in small towns. I'm surprised they did not play here.

I would rather see Iggy without the Stooges.  That way you get to hear all his songs not just the stooges ones.

you know, they say, that when anton szandor lavey was on his death bed and about to pass on, he had a vision of god coming to him to show him the light, and that anton had confessed that he had been wrong and had done wrong all those years before.  i have a funny feeling, the same thing, happened to fred.  i still say, rest in peace, broken man.

Here are the links behind the broken pix…some kinda fark thing:

"http://img.fark.net/images/cache/850/2/2f/fark_2fr06StKOE959tl7bkHzH0zzqrc.jpg"

"http://img.fark.net/images/cache/850/m/mL/fark_mL9Huj5hpvBTPNFQhCXPThc6mtk.gif?t=g2q6C7vHc-_towb44kun_A&f=1395633600"

unfortunately those don't work either, for Fark you need to link to the page that they're one.  they don't allow you to link directly to the JPG.  bummer.

that is too bad…i remember the first time i saw them was in DC at what I think was a roller skating rink (kalorama ave or something?) with dread zeppelin. I think it was 1992.  I wore my blood stained white tshirt to class the next day and everyone was in awe.

I know…I always looked fwd to taking my son to see them when he got a little older.

Having lived in rva from 89-94 I've got a lot of GWAR memories.  Dave was a really nice guy and had an insane work ethic.  he will be missed.

wow, that sucks.  I too remember seeing them at one of the last shows at the old 930

I wore a white shirt and I was covered in all different types of liquids

I somehow managed to stay sober and drove home…and got pulled over by the police
I thought for sure he was going to freak out on us when he saw I was covered in fake blood
but alas he just gave me a warning (can't even remember why he pulled me over?) and never even commented on the blood
