Iggy Pop

On September 25, 1977, Iggy Pop performed live at the Manchester Apollo, showcasing the title track "Lust for Life" from his album released just a few weeks prior on September 9, 1977. This period marked a significant transformation in Iggy Pop’s career, moving toward a more polished sound and mainstream appeal after his earlier, more chaotic work with the Stooges. "Lust for Life" is particularly notable for its collaboration with David Bowie and features the iconic driving beat and vivid lyrics that punctuate Pop’s work. The Manchester performance was part of the Lust for Life tour, which illustrated his resurgence in the late '70s following a tumultuous period of personal struggles and experimentation. The album and performances during this tour helped solidify Iggy Pop's reputation as a pioneering rock artist and demonstrated his resilience and evolution as a musician.
