It wasn't only Ann Arbor that was fascinated by the Iggy Pop and the Stooges homecoming concert at the Michigan Theater on Tuesday.

The sold-out show brought the surviving members of the pioneering punk-rock band to their hometown to pay tribute to Ron Asheton, the band's original guitarist, who died in 2009.

The event drew some significant attention online, including from some national media. Some links worth checking out:

• Rolling Stone published a review of the show online, using a photo shot by AnnArbor.com's Melanie Maxwell. (The shot used by Rolling Stone is shown at right, but there's a full slideshow in our news story about the concert.)
