Here’s a snip from a concert rider written for Iggy and the Stooges back in the day, and attributed to their roadie:
With regard to the lighting design: (This was written by someone who doesn’t really know what he’s talking about. I cannot tell a lie. Lights-wisely speaking, I’m an absolute arse-head. But I know what I like. And although nobody goes home whistling the lights, it’s also true that no-one goes to gigs to stare at the fucking P.A. stacks.)

Kim Cooper says,
The amusing rider linked today is not from “back in the day” but from the current incarnation of the band, featuring Mike Watt of the Minutemen. Back in the day, the Stooges’ rider would have read more like “jar of Skippy, clean needles, change of socks.” And they’d have been happy to get it!
