Basically naked from the waist down and let me tell you when the spotlights hit him, you could see it all! Well, night two, he was in pantyhose and a leather motorcycle jacket.
And on top of that Iggy was wearing a mini skirt, suspenders, a leather jacket, and boots. All the way to Detroit in 1981, where we played the Pontiac Silverdome–with no sound check!

From getting stuck in Canada during a blizzard, waiting for a blues singer who was delivering all these goods. A sort of ‘No Blow, No Show’ kind of atmosphere.
