Nearly 50 years to the day after the infamous concert took place, Third Man Records is releasing the Stooges’ Live At Goose Lake: August 8, 1970, a live album documenting the original Stooges lineup’s final performance. As the story goes, bassist Dave Alexander showed up too drunk to play a note and was fired by Iggy Pop after the show.

According to Third Man Records, however, that story might be wholly apocryphal. “Would you believe that … Alexander actually DID play bass on this occasion?” the label writes in a press release. “Or that, despite a handful of flubs, he manages to hold his own? Especially on the bass-led songs ‘Dirt’ and ‘Fun House’?”

A 1/4″ stereo two-track tape featuring a previously unheard, high-quality soundboard recording of the performance, in which the Stooges played the entirety of their 1970 LP Fun House shortly before its release, was discovered buried in the basement of a Michigan farmhouse. Listen to restored and remastered audio of “T.V. Eye” below.
