‘I give something extra every time I do Montreux Jazz. In ’23 it was deep cuts like Mass Production, Endless Sea, Five Foot One and a hell of a lot of sweat…. 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 ‘Raw Power’ and ‘Gimme Danger,’ the swagger of ‘The Passenger,’ the precise metronomic drone of ‘Mass Production,’ and the full-on unleashed rock fury of the recent ‘Modern Day Ripoff’ and ‘Frenzy.’
This most comprehensive live collection – ‘this one has something extra’ (MOJO) – catches up with Iggy as he continues to win over generations of new fans and perform at the highest level his lifelong devotees have come to expect.
