Iggy Pop announces ‘Live at Montreux Jazz Festival 2023’ and releases ‘Five Foot One (Live at Montreux Jazz Festival 2023) through earMUSIC:
On July 6th, 2023 Iggy Pop returned to the Montreux Jazz Festival backed by a seven-piece band and thrilled a capacity Stravinski Auditorium crowd with a career-spanning set including tracks from his time with The Stooges, his Idiot and Lust for Life albums, New Values leading up to his recent release Every Loser.
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.’
“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. ”
– Iggy Pop –
