You Think Youre Bad, Man? The Road Tapes 73-74

Extensive 5CD set documenting the final year of The Stooges. Featuring 5 live shows recorded across the USA supporting the release of Raw Power. Raw, high-energy, uncompromising and overflowing with Iggy at his most charismatic, confrontational best. Includes seminal Stooges classics – Search And Destroy, Raw Power, Gimme Danger – alongside lesser known material.

Following a two year hiatus, and by fair means or foul, The Stooges reunited in 1972 for what would become their final album. 1973’s Raw Power, arguably their greatest statement, was the result, and the band hit the road in support of the record, resulting in a number of legendary shows. Collected here for the first time, You Think You’re Bad, Man? brings together highlights from a year on the road across 5CDs in a clamshell box, capturing the band on blistering form and Iggy at his most erratic, confrontational best as he heckles, goads and incites well lubricated audiences across the US. You Think You’re Bad, Man? also includes the band’s legendary final show for almost thirty years, bringing their career to an end amongst an atmosphere of intimidation, inebriation and violence. This is a must-hear document of one of the great bands of the age reaching the end of many, many roads.
