Iggy Pop & SRB - The Endless Sea (Live in Helsinki -78)

[@SuperSrjm]

Great song, great performance, I was there listening this live with my wife to be (still married), one of the greatest concerts I've been participating in.

[@Sonicgardener]

Iggy, playing before a mostly hostile Finnish crowd, delivers a truly great performance. He puts his heart into it. Fred's guitar is awesome, too. " You better go home, Buddy!"

[@remyberry6472]

Do you know why they were hostile? I guess they were too close to Russia for punk rock

[@lukertweek]

Wow! Just wow! Incredible version. ❤

[@1999year]

My favorite Iggy Pop song!

[@Wez666]

Sonic's Rendezvous Band should have been huge.

[@revwahfair]

The Best Unsigned Band of the 70's.

[@jennifersaffran2778]

I saw them once in A2. Great sound, but the songs just weren't that great. From my memory, not that cohesive. IMO, that was what held them back. And I wish it would have been different for them--SRB, DAM, etc.

[@vanjohncox9341]

I saw it in England and had a beer with Jimmy Awesome

[@agz7269]

I bled on the flòor on a broken beer glass in a mosh pit in Brisbane while he played unaware of my existance was still a great show just a little wild n no it wasnt intended lol

Wish someone would put this out on vinyl. (I'm calling you out Easy Action Records!) 😉

[@hohhoijaa]

Sanotaanko nyt niin vaikka, että rakastan tätä versiota! Hieno!

[@zachbos5108]

Wow what a song, what a band. Muchos gracias for the upload !

[@oki5289]

He actually a l w a y s has got splendid guitar players for the band, which of course in whole are very fine.

[@baronoflivonia.3512]

Such a better version than album cut, added bonus of Fred Smith & Sonic Rendezvous Band, fantastic guitar tone that only Fred "Sonic" Smith could provide. This is my favorite Iggy Live Band except for Stooges, both versions.

[@urbanaut100]

This one is a real soul searcher - Iggy certainly knew failure inside out and definitely went through the mill to write it in the first place - such emotion laid down in one song lyric - fabulous! The first time I heard it was at the Music Machine in 78 (this version) and again at Sheffield Top Rank in 79 - both great gigs back in the day... Ideally it should have been included on side 2 of The Idiot in the style of the Dum Dum Boys and Mass Production (but probably wasn't written at the time - what a shame) and what a fantastic finale that would have made as the last track on an already brilliant album! It certainly didn't belong on New Values!

[@pameladewitt1966]

Amazing

[@firefly87]

wow!

[@firefly87]

wish there was more material around from this, I'd say, interesting orchestra. Man. Fucking Iggy Pop feat. SRB!

[@hwb-zalpach]

there is a page where you can download shows from that tour

[@revwahfair]

This whole Concert is with the 6 disc set Sonic's Rendezvous band has out. It's some good Rock~N~Roll on all discs.I got it as a gift.

[@firefly87]

@@hwb-zalpach could you point in the right direction?

[@hwb-zalpach]

@@firefly87 not sure it still there.. there is also a torrent. but i will perhaps upload some more shows to my channel too. now that i have internet. gotta search for iggy and srv band. that's the only direction i can think of.. there is the complete copenhagen 1978 show on youtube! check my upload of parma 1979.

Different version, but i like it ;)

[@thevez2001]

iggy pop is great the church covers this song pretty well check it out the church band from aussie

[@68404]

I think the world knows who The Church are

[@amandaboylan6127]

I'd really rather forget ... an unguarded moment. Under the Milky way ... Ugh

[@amandaboylan6127]

Dogs in space ... Great Oz film by Richard Lowenstein... Great soundtrack ..

[@agz7269]

Fav from New Values then The Passenger from Lust 4 Life

[@mightyturkeyneck1349]

I never knew that Iggy played with Sonic Smith! And Scott Asheton on drums? It's a veritable who's who of Detroit heavy hitters...

[@Itsa6stringthang]

They were all longtime friends. I just wonder why Scott Morgan was left out of the tour ?

[@revwahfair]

@@Itsa6stringthang from what I have read, Scott Thurston keys / guitar was the only one who knew all the songs. Fred Smith didn't want to copy any studio versions and they refused to play some songs. As in pussy songs if I remember Scott Asheton telling me in 2001 when I recorded with him. 2 years later The Stooges were back together. A happy day.

[@baronoflivonia.3512]

And to think Detroit and Ann Arbor forgot about all the acts that called Detroit home. I grew up with these guys as heroes in and right next to Detroit. A friend of mine worked at Second Chance Saloon when Fred was playing there, happy when M-14 opened. Destroy All Monsters was another related act that never got it's due.

[@jennifersaffran2778]

@@baronoflivonia.3512 I saw SRB twice, in A2, DAM once, around 1980. I don't think people forget. The song writing for SRB, IMO, was not that strong. So the sound was there, but IMO, the Cult Heroes sounded better than them. DAM, IMO, had potential, but in that one performance, I didn't hear the various players of the band gel together. Also, I had not yet fully appreciated Niagara's "phrasing".

[@TimBucknall]

pity it wasn't recorded like this for new values, same story with Girls, the live 78 version blows away the overproduced studio version

[@TimBucknall]

anyone else think this may have influenced Faith No More?
