Bowie was never as hardcore as Iggy. The smoking and cancer got him. Lenny did drugs until nearly the end. Having to stop them brought out all sorts of issues he didn’t know were there. Iggy has been straight for decades though. Not surprised he outlived Lemmy. He was awesome though
I find Iggy to be almost hypnotic. Something about the way he'd go from a frenzy to a sudden, intense stare. His voice has a soothing quality at times, to my ears anyway.
Iggy is terrifyingly fucked-up in this video. I love how he just exclaims, "I like this music" like he's never heard it before. What an original rock and roll spectacle.
I love how this video really conveys the whole experience to those that experienced the club scene. You can almost feel the closeness and heat of the air the smell of sweat and pot the buzzed feeling and that nothing else existed out side of that room and time had no meaning.
By far the most dramatic and beautiful version of Passenger with that pounding bass and Iggy's voice that seems to want to dig into you. We seem to feel life flowing by, so sweet and bitter, and we are all passengers, going, leaving, stopping for a little while or longer...the destination, you know, is the same for everyone...
This is September 25th 1977 at the Manchester Apollo, the first UK date of the Lust For Life tour. Hunt Sales (drums), Tony Sales (bass) - both latterly in Tin Machine with David Bowie - Scott Thurston (keyboards) - previously in the Raw Power Stooges - Stacey Heydon (guitar) - toured with Bowie in '76 on the Station to Station tour.Bowie played keyboards on the Idiot tour in March and April 1977 and the guitarist was Ricky Gardiner (who also played on the 'Low' album by Bowie). The Sales bros were also in the band on the Idiot tour.
The song, the sound of the band, the time, the scary depth to Iggys eyes . . . This is just sublime. Because rock has grown so antiseptic these days, music like this may be gone forever from the scene.
Idk...maybe take a look at Måneskin? They are a pretty young Rockband but they have a lot of experience. Did a cover/collab with Iggy of one of their songs (didn't like it too much😅) But they have a lot of cool songs...a bit different from this but good stuff that is pretty divers from rock ballad to hard Rock song😊(maybe a bit more glam rock)
Hope exists exactly there, where we think theres no more this and that. I believe this type of rock, this beautiful expression that Iggy had and has, we will still see in this world. Somewhere haha
I love the beginning. Iggy on too much smack to stay conscious, but he gets dragged to the microphone, hears the music, then he’s up and going. Fucking brilliant.
adam tarver You mean the eye candy singer from Ray Manzerek and Robby Krieger's band? Jim Morrison was a one hit wonder flower child who couldn't handle the truth. He couldn't survive three days in New York. That said, this from Wikipedia "The seeds of Pop's stage persona were sown when he saw The Doors perform in 1967 at the University of Michigan and was amazed by the stage antics and antagonism displayed by singer Jim Morrison.[7] Morrison's extreme behavior, while performing in a popular band, inspired the young Pop to push the boundaries of stage performance." News to me,and totally awesome, but Jimmy is still working and James is decorating a hole in the ground in Paris.
I saw Iggy and the Stooges at the Paladium Theater in Birmingham, Michigan back in 1970-1971 and I gotta say it was one bad ass concert! Ahhhhhhh the memories. I so enjoy watching his Concerts here on RU-vid ..... thank you so very much for downloading them!
You guys know that punk is rock, right? It's literally punk rock. What are ya, the genre police? That's not the attitude to have here! It is magnificent and pure and rock and roll AND punk!!
Fantastyczna wersja. Chyba najlepsza z najlepszych. Iggy, byłeś, jesteś i zawsze będziesz wielkim muzykiem i performerem. Dzięki za to cudo. Ten rozkoszny uśmiech został mu do dziś...
The band is the same as TV Eye live 1977. Iggy Pop: vocals David Bowie: piano and synthesizers (on tracks 1, 2, 6 & 8) Ricky Gardiner: guitar (on tracks 1, 2, 6 & 8) Stacey Heydon: guitar (on tracks 3, 4, 5 & 7) Scott Thurston: guitar, piano, harmonica, synthesizer (on tracks 3, 4, 5 & 7) Tony Sales: bass Hunt Sales: drums (The Sales brothers would later form 1/2 of Tin Machine) The early dates had David Bowie on keyboards and LOW guitarist Ricky Gardiner. When David left to record "Heroes" Gardiner departed with him. Ricky was replaced by 1976 Station to Station tour guitarist Stacey Heydon (seen briefly in his afroed glory) while Scott Thurston replaced David on the keyboards.
even though iggy was before my time, i love this so much and not just the song but also that hes so off his head on smack he needs 2 people to guide him to the mic, forgets the words for a little while and goes off on a little journey in his head while singing but still gives a hell of a performance. now imagine a bieber or similar concert and weep for the death of music and creativity.
I am a passenger And I ride, and I ride I ride through the city's backsides I see the stars come out of the sky Yeah, they're bright in a hollow sky You know it looks so good tonight I am the passenger I stay under glass I look through my window so bright I see the stars come out tonight I see the bright and hollow sky Over the city's ripped back sky And everything looks good tonight Singin' la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la, la la Get into the car We'll be the passenger We'll ride through the city tonight See the city's ripped backsides We'll see the bright and hollow sky We'll see the stars that shine so bright Oh, stars made for us tonight Oh, the passenger How, how he rides Oh, the passenger He rides and he rides He looks through his window What does he see? He sees the silent hollow sky He sees the stars come out tonight He sees the city's ripped backsides He sees the winding ocean drive And everything was made for you and me All of it was made for you and me 'Cause it just belongs to you and me So let's take a ride and see what's mine Singin' la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la, la la Oh, the passenger He rides and he rides He sees things from under glass He looks through his window's eye He sees the things that he knows are his He sees the bright and hollow sky He sees the city asleep at night He sees the stars are out tonight And all of it is yours and mine And all of it is yours and mine So let's ride and ride and ride and ride Singin' la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la, la la Singin' la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la, la la
I mean, yeah he was probably on a laundry-list of drugs, but it takes some beauty and talent and soul to make a performance like this. Damn, how many of us could get that messed up and make such a great show for a live audience?
Ein Aussergewöhnlicher Mensch. Drogen hatten bei ihm keine Chance kein Niedergang keine Besetzungen. Sein Geist ist sehr sehr Stark und Gross. Ich bin strikte gegen Drogen das möchte ich betonen. Eine ganz besondere Seele ich mag sie und ich mag diese Wunderbare Stimme seine Bewegungen sein Charisma sein ganzes Wesen❤ Ps. Bin 7.7.1970 geboren danke Igi das wir zusammen inkarniert sind für diese Ära 😊
I know him as Person, live, from Berlin, together with David B., we all were addicted, and? It was a Part of our Life, and a lot of Ups and Downs, but very, very intensiv! I don't want to miss ONE SECOND! Nobody can understand who is not in this special "Condition", who don't know this feeling! It's illegal, of course! But: what's up? Who is interested, why? It's not possible to explain... A lot of very, very intelligent and creative people are User or has been User.... We didn't do anything bad to other people, we didn't take money of the governement or the society, we work for our money and spenden it for something we want and we need! No justice, please! This guy is a hero, a artist, a performer... And David is an Icon.... 👍💞💜 I love them truly and warm for the rest of my life!
blablablablubb... you really tooked to much from that stuff and you cant miss a second, because you forget every second from that time... but with iggy you are right, david on the other side was only good as ziggy stardust, after that time, he was living only from his name and was completly overrated... so much how lemmy and iggy were underrated...
You must have made good money working to manage supporting a heroin addiction without having to rob and steal!! I know I couldn't afford my habit even when it was just a bundle a day!
Duprey? and Asheton of course. Yea it was Duprey. His 'rooster hair'. Party, Zombie Bird House. Fantastic times. Oh, New Values, that was the one. Wish I was still healthy as a horse, but everything's still spinning...
Schamanen fallen üblicherweise in eine Art Ohnmacht bevor sie uns in die Anderswelt führen können. Man beachte seine Mimik wenn er diese Grimasse macht und Hörner mit den Fingern zeigt, sich bewegt, es mahnt mich an ein Griechisches Wesen den Centauer der magische Wirkung hatte auf Frauen 😊 und dann ein aprupter Wechsel und man sieht Jesus Antliz glänzen und dann wieder der Verrückte Narr der Heilige der Teufel Gott etc Das ist die Schamanische Reise in die er uns mitnimmt . Schönes Wesen mit einer Zauberstimme ❤ ...
What a great version. Agree--the organ and bass just put this one over the top. Amazing. And drugs or not, Iggy is something else! So much fun to watch, still!
I remember watching this on TV back in 1976-77? This is about my all time favourite live performance EVER! Not a fan of Iggy,(have his first album by error) but this is so intense and loose at the same time. Have no issues with the performer, but this is the BEST!
This video made me realize i could do it too. Before i saw this i thought mick jagger and jim morrison were gods. we dont do that anymore. We are not good enough. But when i saw this and see that he was with Bowie it made me realize anyone can do it with talent and a bunch of luck and a shit ton of style people are just now starting to love and recognize again.
I've been with them from the beginning. Music is awesome and what a great performer. But,stay away from drugs and alcohol. I'm glad i did. My friends are messed up,or dead. I'm still alive.
MsFrancois1980 There is real music. Do you realize the ammount of pure shit that was also out at this time, and Iggy's audience was smaaaaalllll... Stooges even smaller.
nathalie chapron I admit there are some but, not like we used to have. I'm just thinking of the music my generation had. The artists could actually sing, play instruments, & write deeply & meaningful. The majority of the upcoming generation is exposed to mainstream top 40, which I find to be truly superficial! Most of the artists can't really sing, the autotune just kills me, barely play instruments, & have someone else write for them. There is some cool music out there but, you have to search for it, whereas we were happily engulfed in it! :)
Hi Marco. Seeing Iggy live beats the screen every time. I've seen Iggy about 6 times now and he was brilliant at each gig. Reading was special because it was such a great line-up.
Mesmerizing!! Iggy at his peak, One of pops greatest songs. Oh the passenger how he rides and rides and rides! I see pinhead's in Cadillac's and I see my girl she's not coming back, I see my life drifting by and I know I am gonna die and die and die and die.
I dreamed last night my deceased mother took me for a ride in a helicopter. My mother never flew a helicopter in her life. In the dream, I couldn't see where we were going but she could. We landed safely, and I told her she was the best mother I could have had.
wow, Iggy is the best! Have seen him on stage so many times, and always great. We loved him so much because he was the total opposite of Barry Gordon and the Motown pack that ruled the airwaves around Detroit in those years. Think of factory produced in line soul singers, or Mikey Jackson, all flash and baubles, hey, Iggy was the remedy for that, but not only a remedy, he was an artist, in the truest sense, obviously giving it his all. Iggy is still with us, of course, so here is to you Iggy!
