7/4/2023 0 Comments Iggy pop liveRelentlessly energetic affairs, the fact is that Iggy has maintained his explosive performances beyond middle age and into the autumn of his years.īut what has been evident is that it’s the people that he’s worked with that have brought out either the best or the worst in him, and sometimes both at the same time. His live gigs, however, have always been cathartic experiences few are the artists prepared to invest that much energy, physicality and the high risk of personal damage into their performances while breaking down the barriers between them and their audience. Since then, it’s been difficult to shake the feeling that he’s been chasing an audience thanks to any number of pointless collaborations with the worst of his descendents while cruising on auto pilot when it came to his recorded output. It’s been over 20 years since he released American Caesar, his last record of substance. But what work that was these were contributions so huge that they altered the course of music history Of course it can be argued that all three had left their best work far behind them and it’s certainly undeniable that they dropped some monumental stinkers since those glory days. The recent passing of two thirds of alternative rock’s Holy Trinity of Lou Reed, David Bowie and Iggy Pop has not only left a yawning cultural chasm but also put pressure on the shoulders of the last man standing.
