Iggy Pop

In the live performance recorded on September 19, 1977, in Copenhagen, Iggy Pop was promoting his album "Lust for Life," which had just been released prior to this show. This album marked a significant point in Pop's career, showcasing his shift towards a more mainstream sound while maintaining his distinct punk ethos. The song "Sixteen," performed during this set, highlights his exploration of themes surrounding youth and vitality, a recurring motif in his work. During this period, Iggy was collaborating with David Bowie, whose influence is palpable in the production and style of "Lust for Life." Interestingly, this album would eventually solidify Iggy's place in rock history, particularly for its title track, which gained later popularity in various media, notably in commercials and film soundtracks. The 1977 tour reflected Iggy's raw energy and stage presence, which were pivotal in defining his legacy as a live performer.
