Sweet jam. It went out there in a couple spots. The varitone switch on Jack's EB3 has been replaced by a 3 way switch. Looks pointed down I think.

That looks like his '61, which IIRC supposedly was an early production model that came with a three way instead of the Varitone.

I thought it was known that the 3 way was a mod (and later clipping diodes were added).  That's what I recall from previous threads on previous boards.

According to Graeme Pattingale's Cream pages on Jack's basses, the '61 came with the 3-way. The one with the diode was a different bass, a later model with the chromed p/u cover.

Though that is not the regular bass player - the bald guy is (and uses the same bass). The other guy is their regular 2nd guitarist (the keyboarder is sometimes their 3rd), but deps on some of the more funky/disco tracks.

Little Jimmy from Detroit is no rock Pavarotti, but he has charm and charisma.

Who are you talking about? The only bald guy I see there is the one playing bass.

The crowd is tame compared to when Iggy plays here. Good to see he still has energy.

Anyone else find it disappointing that the drummer is rocking the hat instead of riding the floor tom?  Goddamn, that song is all rhythmn section; don't f*** with it.

I love how the bass is going through an old Peavey amp.

All I get is--

Not viewable here. I still don't understand what you were talking about in the earlier video.

The bald guy is the bassist 90% of the time, but in that vid that Rob initially posted, the (otherwise) 2nd or 3rd guitarist (depending on your count) plays disco runs on the EB-3 and baldie plays guitar.

The Iggy with Jools Holland video Rob posted isn't viewable here. I thought you were talking about the Lust  For Life video you posted, where the bald guy is playing bass.

Any which way, he has had worse backing bands. This one is neither heavy-handed nor muso-glib.

I consider Iggy Pop to be vastly overrated. When your whole schtick is that you should be dead, but somehow you aren't, then it wears a bit thin after a while. I have a CD copy of that brickwall'd re-release of Raw Power sitting around somewhere.  :bored:
