IGGY POP – Where The Faces Shine – Volume 1 – Easy Action – 3*

Even by Iggy Pop’s own extreme standards, the crowd at Detroit’s Michigan Palace on February 9, 1974 was a tough one. Throughout a brief, audience-baiting set, the singer dodges a hailstorm of glass bottles, eggs, ice and vegetables hurled by The Scorpions motorcycle gang, some of which debris can be heard hitting strings and heads.

Box set ‘Where The Faces Shine – which records six live shows in the USA, Spain and Italy between 1977-81 –~is less dramatically visceral, but it does represent the work of a number of remarkable bands on top touring form, many of whose personal recollections appear in the accompanying booklet.
