The Doors 04 Backdoor Man Absolutely Live
Iggy Pop / Soul Asylum : Back door man
James Newell Osterberg Jr is twenty years old, and they've been calling him Iggy for a couple of years since he was a teenager playing in the Prime Movers.
The revelation of what is to come happens on October 20, 1967, at the University of Michigan during a concert by the Doors. The Los Angeles band has just unleashed a devastating one-two punch with their self-titled album and Strange Days.
Not exactly a quiet concert in Ann Arbor... one of many, perhaps among the first where Jim(bo) “killed” the audience.
Iggy, in the crowd, is thrilled by what he is hearing and... seeing.
“Jim was incredible, he wore leather pants and sang with a falsetto voice to piss off those idiots. The concert lasted maybe twenty minutes; things were getting out of hand, and they took Jim away before they could attack him. I was ecstatic, I loved that antagonist and the way he made them mad. I thought: these guys are number one in America. If he can do that, maybe I can do it too... I can’t wait any longer.”
Shortly after that concert, Iggy forms a band with the Asheton brothers and Dave Alexander...
The rest is (another) history...
