In 1970 the Stooges released a second album, Fun House, recorded almost live with a PA. After recording Fun House, the Stooges shocked audiences with Iggy's self-destructive performance at the Cincinnati Pop Festival.

Back in the late ’70s the Chesterfield Kings had all the earmarks of a great American rock band destined for failure. The critics absolutely adored them. They played their hearts out for peanuts. They were huge in Europe. All of which generally leads to a five-year shelf life, a 10-year reunion, and a brief mention decades later on VH-1’s
