Iggy Pop

In 1979, during the recording of "I'm Bored" for the Old Grey Whistle Test, Iggy Pop was at a significant transition point in his career. This live performance occurred shortly after the release of his album "Lust for Life," which was co-produced by David Bowie and the artist himself. The album marked a return to form for Pop, showcasing a more polished sound and a blend of post-punk energy. The song "I'm Bored" appeared on his next album, "New Values," released later that same year, highlighting his ongoing evolution as a solo artist after the tumultuous period with The Stooges. The performance itself is notable for capturing Iggy's frenetic stage presence and raw charisma, elements that have become hallmarks of his influential career in rock music. The Old Grey Whistle Test performance is often remembered for its embodiment of the punk ethos that Pop helped to establish in the 1970s.
