“I give something extra every time I do Montreux Jazz… Stravinsky Hall is special, like Carnegie or the Garden or Sydney Opera. I’ve dived in them all.” – Iggy Pop
There has never been an artist on stage quite like Iggy Pop and here he has never been better. With a band as versatile and acrobatic as the artist himself, there is everything from the glorious primitivism of Stooges-era “I Wanna Be Your Dog” and “T.V. Eye,” the swagger of “Lust for Life,” the precise metronomic drone of “Nightclubbing, “and the full-on unleashed rock fury of the recent “Modern Day Ripoff” and “Frenzy.”
This most comprehensive live collection catches up with Iggy as he continues to win over new generations of fans and perform at the highest level his lifelong devotees have come to expect.
