Iggy Pop

On November 14, 1986, Iggy Pop performed live at the Ritz in New York City, showcasing his album "Blah Blah Blah," which had been released just prior on 1986. This album marked a key moment in Iggy's career as it represented a commercial resurgence, powered by collaborations with notable figures such as David Bowie and Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols. The Ritz concert featured a lineup that included Andy McCoy on guitar and Paul Garristo on drums, highlighting Pop's eclectic musical influences and the punk rock ethos he embodied. Interestingly, "Blah Blah Blah" was Iggy's first album to chart positively in the United States, with the single "Cry for Love" receiving significant airplay. This period was crucial for Iggy, as it demonstrated his ability to evolve and maintain relevance in the changing musical landscape of the late '80s while still embracing the raw energy that defined his earlier work.
