The entire TV performance on Old Grey Whistle Test by Iggy Pop 1979 Supporting his album New Values. The Fortune Teller I'm Bored New Values I Wanna Be Your Dog
I was so lucky, a week after this was recorded for the Old Grey Whistle Test he appeared at Redcar Coatham Bowl... I was there!! An awesome HIGH ENERGY gig!! It was 43 years ago! Where has the time gone? He is performing in Vilnius in June 2022. Amazing!
Poor old Iggy never could keep his clothes on but that's part of why we love him it's kind of hard to believe that I was a third grader when he originated crowd surfing and now I've got one foot in the grave but old Iggy just keeps on going
Fab performance here - remember this like it was yesterday + saw him on new values tour at Sheffield Top Rank in May 79. A young Phil Oakey was there that night too with his girlfriend as the early human league supported this tour on the continent in early 79. Great days!!
@@TylerSmithPunksOnPizza I saw them at a place called The Boston Tea Party in Boston, they opened for Ten Years After, they were really good, despite my joke above which I edited, I think it was one of their first times out of Ann Arbor. They were very professional, although Iggy was being Iggy of course, hitting himself with the mic, rolling around on the stage etc. They didn't go over real big with the audience despite what you'll read about those shows. I liked them, they were the first professional show I'd ever seen, I was sixteen. Ten Years After were a hard band to open for, they were a rocking band and they were one of the best live bands I've ever seen in my life even up to this day but The Stooges held their own and sounded very good. They played through TYA's Marshalls. This place was like a big club, not sure what the capacity was, 400, or 500 people maybe. I'm a lifelong bass player so really remember Dave Alexander well, he had a sunburst Fender Jazz, and played through TYA's Marshalls which consisted of two one hundred watt heads with two cabinets for each of them, (this was before super leads, super basses etc), the sound was very good in that place and I think a lot of the sound was right from the stage, we had third row seats so we heard them VERY well. His vocal mic was off during the first one or two songs and the audience had to get his attention, then he got the sound guy's attention. I saw Zep later on in this same club on their second tour. Those days were something else, you saw the creme de la creme of bands in relatively small places because it wasn't such a big business as it got to be later on during the 70's. The Boston Tea Party was one of the inspirations for the Fillmore West and East which came a little later after this place. I think it opened its door in 1967, the owner also owned WBCN which was one of the first FM Underground stations in the country. A lot of great bands played this place, I was so young though I didn't drive and could only get there once in a while. I lived about 30-40 miles away.
@@G8GT364CI Incredibly envious my dude. I was only born in '94 so I missed those days by a long shot. You're memory is spot on eh, right down to the gear. That's awesome to hear.
I saw them in Detroit in 1970. They played in that area- Detroit, Birmingham, Pontiac, Ann Arbor- almost weekly. A lot of the crowd knew him and saw him all the time. There was an ongoing antagonism for him and he had it in return. They were super raw and aggressive. Real punk. He would jump into the audience and fight. The show would end and an ambulance called. And there would be Iggy back again the following week.
@@TylerSmithPunksOnPizza Leo Lyons, the TYA bassist has an account here and for a while was posting stuff, little stories, etc, so I asked him about the Marshalls, I thought they had double that but no. He remembered the place as he had played there several times. He's a very gracious gentlemen and a wildman bassist. He was one of my inspirations, I had just started playing bass a year or two before that show, Leo also played a Jazz. One thing I forgot to mention was that Dave Alexander threw his bass up over his amps at the end of the last tune they played, that went over like a lead balloon too. I think the audience was just waiting for TYA, me being young (16) they were the first professional bands hat I had ever seen so they both blew me away. I wish I had been about 5 years older as I missed a lot of great bands that played there, you name the band they most likely played there. MC5, Fleetwood Mac (w Peter Green) Tull when they were a jazz/rock band, on and on.When I saw Zeppelin Tommy Bolin opened for them with his band, Zephyr, they were good too, their singer was kind of like a more rocky Janis Joplin. Alvin Lee of TYA always put on a great show, I saw him twice, both times he rocked.
James Newell Osterberg, Jr., más conocido por su nombre artístico Iggy Pop (Muskegon, Míchigan, 21 de abril de 1947), es un músico de rock y actor estadounidense. Considerado uno de los más innovadores aportando en la creación de nuevos géneros dentro del rock tales como el punk rock, el post-punk, la new wave, entre otros, se ha convertido en un icono que ha influenciado a varios músicos desde el inicio de los años 1970 hasta la actualidad.[1][2]
Does anyone know the lineup here? Is that Glen Matlock on bass? The two guitarists and drummer???? They got a nice groove going on here. Of course New Values was an awesome album. The first four solo albums technically starting with Kill City (recorded in 75, not released until roughly 1978 making it the third released) on through The Idiot, Lust For Life and New Values. Soldier was kind of a disjointed collection of extra weird Iggy songs, but it was better across the board than the next album, Party, which boasted the uber trippy Eggs on a Plate (Four Walls), the crossover dance/new wave Bang Bang, the title track, and some other stuff that was all over the place (new wave, punk, goth, ska, etc) and Iggy sounds a bit forced and extra sarcastic. He left Arista to record the underrated, misunderstood piece of art that was Zombie Birdhouse ( rounding out my 5 favorites, from the low fidelity drum machine and abstract lyric that kicks off with The Villager, right into the Haitian rhythms and abstract beat poem of The Villager, the shimmering Angry Hills, the proto industrial grind of Life of Work and Bulldozer, the infectious grooving on Eat or be Eaten)perhaps my favorite, but 5 of his first 7 were really solid and creative start to finish basically. He then took a second and final sabbatical to kick whatever assorted substance abuse habits he was resorting to in lieu of heroin. He never looked back, emerging 3 years later (aside from his official contribution to the Repo Man soundtrack in 1984) with the most refined, commercial pop rock he ever recorded, Blah Blah Blah, boasting a few crossover hits (most notably a cover of golden era rock n roll tune Real Wild Child) and videos and sold quite well. The next album was back to basics, 80s flavored garage rock, Instinct, which did include the marginal hit Cold Metal. He went a bit more poppy and commercial on Brick by Brick, with a duet with Kate Pierson called Candy, the slick pop rock of Home, the less than commercially titled Butt Town, and the whimsical rock of Neon Forest. From there his output varied from heavy to acoustic to before reuniting with The Stooges for a couple albums and squeezing in an album of covers sung in French and a jazzy, New Orleans vibed album, and most recently recorded perhaps his most interesting piece since Zombie Birdhouse, a collaboration with Josh Homme, Dean Fertita and Matt Helders entitled Post Pop Depression. Iggy was shooting for a Bowie era Idiot vibe and they basically nailed it, at least sonically and atmospherically. Interesting dude.....
Couldn’t have said it better myself. Also Zombie Birdhouse was the first record I ever bought. Beautiful album, Platonic, Ordinary Bummer, The Horse Song, Run Like Villain. I have a few bootlegs Of live shows from that tour, INCREDIBLE
giggle, Iggy can't even keep his shirt off in front of a filming crew......no audience....cool! Nice to see Scotty Thurston on the Gibson and I believe former Sex Pistol Glen Matlock on bass!
Iggys the first one to say that The Stooges (his 60s/70s band) took a lot from the Stones. Mick was spastic, in his movements, you could say he ripped off James Brown. One thing Iggy did before any of the above named was introduce physical confrontation and connection. Leading the way for mosh pits, stage dives, and crowd surfing.
Great performance..great band. Great groove.
dance movements is what makes iggy pop epic
8 minutes 16 seconds of gold.
Saw him in 1979 with Clem Burke on drums, Glen Matlock on bass, Brian James on guitar and Ivan Kral on keys. A supergroup.
Oh easily...amazing thinking of it now
I saw them in New Haven, CT. on that tour. Great Show!
Brian james= king
Fantastic show. 👍
Best Performance ever

As the years go by, I just love him more and more.
This brings me joy
New Values is the first Iggy album I purchased in high-school. Superb! 🤘🏾
your high school sold Iggy Pop albums? Great school!! ;-)
Yeah, that is one great album. So many good songs, 'Don't Look Down' is possibly my fave.
@@jpcpm1340 🤘🏾😆🤘🏾
That's my favorite solo album of his.
First time I have seen Iggy with a shirt on
Same. Very jarring
scott thurston underrated
New Wave Iggy
A majestic period for iggy. New Values on another level. And his look here...glam, imperious + a shit hot band.
Saw Iggy on this tour in Coventry. Fantastic
Any recollections of key details from the gig?
@@SawSight Canada Eh 🇨🇦
When Iggy started to move, I had to check my settings to make sure I wasn't watching on 1.5x speed
great i m bored ect saw the ig in 79 in bxl in a small place awesome of course
Such a beautiful voice!
This makes me happy ‼️🔥😎
very cool vid. thanks for that. iggy never sounded better.
Poor old Iggy never could keep his clothes on but that's part of why we love him it's kind of hard to believe that I was a third grader when he originated crowd surfing and now I've got one foot in the grave but old Iggy just keeps on going
He may have one foot in the grave, but the other foot still rocks like a motherf*cker.
So good ness jajajaaaaaajjjjaapuagh.
Fab performance here - remember this like it was yesterday + saw him on new values tour at Sheffield Top Rank in May 79. A young Phil Oakey was there that night too with his girlfriend as the early human league supported this tour on the continent in early 79. Great days!!
SUCH A GENIUS
Raw power = energy .
Like how the guy plays the exact same solo on the record for New Values!
Who is that guy on the Les Paul Jr? Shreds!
The music ain’t hittin my area code but there ain’t no denying Iggy was and is a first rate frontman.
Fair play, I personally love anything protopunkrockroll, that guitar solo is sweet
Saw his very first solo tour with Bowie on keyboards at the Agora in Columbus Ohio
Some Iggy in Chicago right after Funhouse. Best live show, ever.
New Value! Great song
Pretty swingin' & buzzin' band he had here 👌🏻 not always the case later on..
Iggy covering the Stones..it don’t get better
The Stones were only covering it themselves, it was first recorded by Benny Spellman.

Glen on bass here 👍
Felt that 😫
Com' on!!!!!!!💪🎸🤟
glen matlock (sex pistols) on bass
I saw The Stooges in 1969 in Boston.
Where in 69, what do you recall from the show?

I am amazed and dumbfounded, it took to song 3 for Iggy to disrobe.😝
Epic
scot Thurston on guitar he rocks, played keys for stooges lives shows toward the end he always believed in Iggy.
💜
Nice video
He was handsome then.
Thanks and greetings from Holland.
Scott Thurston
Iggy cuando joven viejo.
Stewart. Look what I can do.
😄👌🏻
what can one say, he is a demigod.
yup, that's Iggy.

Seems to be the great Scott Thurston on lead guitar (on left)

this guy iggys
Was this cover released on any Iggy album?
@@videojeffrobetustak5129 i looked it up i think its on 'Paris Palace' i think its a bootleg, not on any proper albums dont think so
lol... the guy singing smoked the marijuana and it made him insane
he can wear shirts!?
It doesn't stay on...
I was shocked too
Not so well , or comfortably , or for Long 😎👍
I'll have what he's having!!! LOL!!!! 🤣
Genius, Love for life and passion for music
Fun Fact: The Hives watched this. Sure.
Reed Iggy Bowie lui è l'unico sopravvissuto. 👽
What's going on with these hats?
the good old crack
no kidding
I recognize Thurston, Matlock, Kruger, (and Iggy of course), but who is the rhythym guitarist?
Jackie Clark (he is better known as a bassist).
@@jimmypants100 Thank you. I saw his name in credits of album as bassist, but evidently Iggy had invited Glenn Matlock in to play bass at this point.
Old rolling stones cover, not too bad
giggle, Iggy can't even keep his shirt off in front of a filming crew......no audience....cool! Nice to see Scotty Thurston on the Gibson and I believe former Sex Pistol Glen Matlock on bass!
Yes it's Glenn on bass, Thurston on one guitar. Not sure of other guitarist, drummer is Klaus Kruger perhaps
@@markrago5338 Wow! If that's Glen Matlock on bass, that's amazing! That Bass led grove starting at 2:01 is so good!
@@markrago5338 Other guitarist must be Jackie Clark, who played bass on New Values.
He get's his fortune told for free.
To fucking short
Original and much copied but never equalled.
04:25 heroin triggers that?
He is like the druggier, skinnier Anthony Keidis. He’s like the proto-Keidis.
Proto for a lot of front guys who love Iggy. Check out The Beasts of Bourbon and Died Pretty.
@@Kwanglebeh Oh true, I bet.
Man, don't ruin this
Weirdo
Straight on rip off of jagger but he does it fast , copy of stones 72 plus
