IGGY POP - Live @ The Ritz, NYC, 20/7/88



It’s been a while since there’s been any music, and it’s been a long while since I posted any Iggy Pop, so killing the proverbial bird with one stone sorta thang here’s a live recording of the mighty popster in New York City at The Ritz on the 1988 Instinct Tour. It’s not the full gig, just seven songs, dunno what happened to the rest, perhaps who ever recorded it was under the same influence that guitarist Andy McCoy was under. Who’d gone awol from the venue, turning up five minutes before show time, having been smoking some angel dust with a female admirer, not that you’d notice it too much by his playing. There’s a nice account of this event in the book Neighbourhood Threat, Iggy’s bass player at the time and former UK Sub Alvin Gibbs' on the road account of touring with Iggy Pop. That’s were you need to go if you wanna read about it. If you wanna hear all about it, click here! In August of the same year he played the Reading Festival and tore the field apart. I've got a full recording of that, which I'll post at some point in the future.

Hey there Nuzz,
Was just checking out an earlier Iggy post (Thanks) and noticed this...
"In August of the same year he played the Reading Festival and tore the field apart. I've got a full recording of that, which I'll post at some point in the future"
I was wondering if you were going to post this any time soon? Seeing that I'm in the States and the sheeple here might actually elect a person that believes we are in the "END DAYS" I may never get to hear it =( Unbelievable !!! I'm going crazy and hope some unheard Iggy may bring me some sanity, reality and Truth !!!
Iggy 4 Most Exultant Potentiate !!!
