1969

1969
 

Charles Spano writing for Allmusic says of Wild Love:  “Though lacking the teenage venom of cuts like ‘1969’ and I Wanna be Your Dog off of The Stooges and the unadulterated raw power of, well, Raw PowerWild Love is still essential for die-hard fans.  The album, culled from rehearsals in Detroit, Los Angeles, and New York for the band’s 1973 tour, runs the gamut from full-fledged, ready-to-record tunes to the types of swampy jams that the band has claimed indicative of their studio songwriting process.  Gems like the three minutes of rock & roll bliss dubbed Wild Love, the rambling, grinding ‘Pinpoint Eyes’, the Stonesy I Came From Nowhere’, and the eerie, sprawling ‘Til the End of the Night’ could have given Iggy Pop the material for a stunning solo debut as early as 1973.”
