Live In San Francisco 1981 - Iggy Pop

Advantages: ok recording quality of an ok gig
Disadvantages: better to watch the dvd, but it's not Iggy at his best.

It's cheap and cheerful, but frankly not very good. Iggy Pop was not, let's be honest, in the best of shape in 1981. This album was recorded at the end of a long bout of touring in support of one of his least loved albums - Party. Now Iggy is usually worth seeing in concert and this album is actually the soundtrack of a home video / DVD which is still available. The film shows a rather inebriated Iggy giving a half-hearted performance with only flashes of his usual brilliance. The fact that he's wearing suspenders and stockings adds to the uneasiness. But at least it makes the film worth seeing. The CD, on the other hand, just come across as half-cocked. The band aren't bad, but aren't especially impressive either (despite the presence of Bowi'e guitar player Carlos Alomar) and iggy's half mumbled half shouted vocals just sound bad ...

Dakota hotel caught my eye for a number of reasons: the price and the location. Normally, you'd have to rob a bank or two to stay in a hotel in the heart of San Francisco for two weeks. Luckily, Dakota offered an attractive rate for long-term stays. I thought it would certainly be worth a look, given it's excellent location. Location You see, location is undoubtedly one of Dakto Hotels strongest points. This hotel is situated on 606 Post Street, approximately 2 blocks from Union Square. In the street itself, there are a number of restaurants and a small supermarket. The hotel is on the edge of what are considered to be the good neighbourhoods in San Francisco. Two blocks down, you ...
