  • Discovered Iggy at my dealers house in 1972. There was a Iggy FunHouse album laying on the coffee table. I still listen to Iggy 50 years later.
  • @ThinkReal
    Iggy is 72 years old with Rock n Roll in his veins!

    Thank god Iggy didn't stop making records, Post Pop Depression was an outstanding album and just when i thought there was nothing better he releases this other masterpiece, Iggy Pop is a cultural heritage for humanity til the eternity, bend the knee to the legend.
  • Who thought that it would be Iggy that would outlive Bowie, Reed and co... R.I.P to the mighty who have passed, and a long, healthy life to Mr Pop
  • What strikes me about Jim is that he is just a really nice man. He shows so much care and concern for the average guy that attends his interviews. You see that in his reactions to his fans here. A real gentleman in the old fashioned way.

    That performance of The Endless Sea is absolutely stunning. One of his best songs.

    What a legend. Plays by his own rules. Iggy, you truly are free. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
  • @IanMcGarr
    This right here is a real legend. Proper legendary. An actual Legend.
  • What a great surprise to hear "Endless Sea" - from my favourite Iggy period. He has such an incredible body of work
  • @OliviaDI
    I am new to Iggy Pop! I am infatuated with this music!! It makes my blood move faster and longer for being 55 going on 70!
  • @mishastone
    Crazy how I got really emotional with that first performance, of "Loves Missing". I had to hold back tears, man, and to be honest I can't remember the last time something like this happened, I guess this says a lot about Iggy.
  • @VickieMobley
    Everything about this performance is absolute perfection. Iggy Pop transcends time....the visuals are beautiful.

    When people call someone a Legend, this is what they really mean.
  • @dreamtree1510
    Words cannot describe the gratitude I feel for this album and performance. It's the same feeling I had when I heard Radiohead's from the basement for the first time years ago, just a feeling of sheer joy.
  • @Iomar1975
    It's like the electricity running through his body is too much to handle and he cannot stand still for more than a few seconds. And this is a 72-year young man that literally went through fire and water. I've never seen anyone like him before.
  • Awesome set, killer band, great new songs. And on "People Places Parties," Iggy is re-working the Sleaford Mods, who were re-working the Sex Pistols, who were re-working the Modern Lovers, who were re-working the Stooges (and the VU). Everything comes full circle. As a septuagenarian, Iggy can wear his crown. He has earned it!
