Yeah wow, I remember those days too, loved Willed Alexander, opened for The Real Kids at The Rat in 76 or 77. I saw The stooges in 69 at The Teaparty. I was 16, most of the older people there had no idea what they were seeing, I had an open mind being so young and thought they were great. I don't think a lot of people realize just how far reaching their influence was. They out punked and outplayed punk band ever especially on the Raw Power album which was their pinnacle for me.brianb wrote:The Stooges really shook me up when I saw them in Boston many years ago. That was about the time the Punk scene in Boston really took off..Third Rail, Reddy Teddy, Lorry Doll, Wilie Alexander. The Rat and Cantones were great clubs. Good memories.

Being 20-something males, we had a way louder stereo and plenty of Stooges tapes, so we would sit on the front porch, watch the dogs in the park across the street and listen to the Stooges at enough volume to drown out the music coming from next door. One of my room-mates made a film that was set to I'm Sick of You that won an award at the annual Univ of Toronto student film review. We splattered fake blood all over the apartment!
