“I could scarcely believe that people who looked that wasted could still play that superbly, all fast, furious and accurate while Iggy tormented the audience. (They initially were too scared to approach the stage, as seen in my pic.) All my photos came from the shorter second set at the Whisky, in this case two long songs that we audience hadn’t ever heard before (I think “She Creatures Of The Hollywood Hills” and “Heavy Liquid.”) The shorter second set was the only press comp I could get, since i was still a starving student at UCLA, having begun my photojournalism while still matriculating.” ~ Heather Harris
