The Stooges • 1970 (I Feel Alright) • Live at the Goose Lake Festival • 8 August 1970 • It is 50 years this weekend since the Goose Lake Music Festival took place, on the 7 – 9 August, 1970. This video is a new edit of archive footage of The Stooges performing 1970 (I Feel Alright) at the Goose Lake Music Festival, cut to the recently resurfaced soundboard recording of their show, released today by Third Man Records as the album, The Stooges - Live at Goose Lake: August 8th 1970. • The Goose Lake Music Festival, was held in Leoni Township, Michigan. It was one of the largest music events of the era, and featured many of the top rock bands of the day. The festival was considered to be the Midwest answer to the Woodstock Festival. It was projected that 60,000 fans would attend the first festival. However, attendance massively exceeded that number, and is estimated to have been around 200,000. • “The Goose Lake tapes were languishing in the confines of a 170-year-old house in Wyoming, Michigan. The Rogers Mansion, as it’s known. Come 2015 the family (who’d held continuous ownership of the house since it was built) decided to finally sell and in the process had to remove generations of family crap that had piled up. “Joshua Rogers spotted the tapes that were recorded by his dad, James Cassily, who was a sound engineer in Michigan going back to the late ’60s. James passed away in 2005, so we don’t really know WHY he was recording the show. He’d done a lot of work with Teegarden & Van Winkel, who emceed the festival, but as far as we can surmise, he wasn’t doing front-of-house for any of the bands and he wasn’t recording as part of the film the audio on the rough cut of the documentary doesn’t seem to match up either fidelity-wise or even input wise...” - From an interview with “Live at Goose Lake: August 8th 1970” album producer, Ben Blackwell.

Similarly, there’s never been a decent Stooges video from the 70’s of a complete song. As soon as I heard about the release of the new album a few months ago, I started to plan this video. Without the audio to work from, I couldn’t do much except gather sources of the footage, and try to clean them up a bit. When I woke up this morning, I quickly checked iTunes, and sure enough the album was out. I downloaded a copy, and started work almost immediately. I stopped only for meals. Now it’s after 3am, and I’m done. This video is rough, but it rocks, and for now at least, it’s all we’ve got.
