Eternal fire

IGGI POP jumped onto the stage under the deafening riff “I Wanna Be your Dog” , one of the main hits of his group The Stooges . As usual, it was naked to the waist, so that all the features of its anatomy were visible. According to his twisted body and a whirling gait, it was clear that the 70-year-old legend, which embarked on the path of rock and roll self-destruction back in the late 1960s, had a lot to take out and test, but this did not affect its inexhaustible energy. From the first seconds of the Moscow concert, IGGI POP began to jump along the stage as a rabid mummy (holding on to this well done rhythm for an hour and a half), and the Stadium hall, full to capacity, instantly wound up and broke out. A minute after the start of the show, his young impersonator jumped from the punk from the “Sellers-Consultants” groups, the same half-naked and hairy, and tried to hug, but the rock star slipped away from the clash, and the security guard fired the unsuccessful clone. In the third minute of IGGI, Pop skipped into the auditorium, which made the fan zone darted with phones to the barriers and almost knocked them over with delight. In the 9th minute, after another hit of Stooges “Gimme Danger” , he shouted with genuine feeling to the visual room: “Fak! FACE! FACE! Thank you! Fak! " The audience roared, and Iggi Pop started the almost Russian folk “The Passenger” , during which he showed foolish dances and playfully overwhelmed his hip, almost overturning it. What reminded of how during the second arrival in Moscow along with The Stoogenes in 2007 his favorite entertainment during the concert was to simulate sex with an acoustic system.

Complete recording of the Moscow concert of IGGI PRO at Stadium:

In 2017, IGGI Pop arrived in Moscow alone for all The Stoogenes . He remained the last in the four young and long-haired guys from Michigan, whose portraits flaunted on the cover of the famous debut of The Stoges of 1969, from which the story of Punk rock begins: guitarist Ron Eston passed away in 2009, and his brother, drummer Scott Eshton, in 2014 . Despite the logic of things, it should have been the opposite: the ex-leader of these violent Iggy Pop, who once went on stage in drugs and unconsciousness, who cut himself into the blood and rushed to an angry crowd with his fists, was the first candidate for departure. However, the indefatigable thirst for life that hits his current in his best songs, and, apparently, excellent genes allow James Newella Osterbberg and 70 years old on the stage with eternal flame-for example, 48-year-old Marilyn Manson, who performed a few months earlier in Stadium , in comparison with him, it will simply seem to be a disabled person.

Already according to the barpunctic description of the first minutes of the Moscow IGGI show, it is clear that it was an excellent rock and roll concert. There was more further. After the hourly main program, during which the famous Songs of the IGGI of the IGGI of the times of The Stooges and solo career, as well as the Hit Single “Gardenia” from his last album “Post Pop Depression” , recorded with Josh Omma from The Queens of the Stone Age , began a long-term bees program. It was opened by the no less cult song The Stooges “No Fun” , at the end of which Iggy Pop shouted that he wanted to be “Fucking Rocking Russian” . During the slaughter “looke” in the last of the rock mogican, a bra-sized bra, and then he pulled out a huge armful of pink roses from the hall. In the final of the song, he, doused with water and then, pulled out one of the fans on stage, who, shaking with happiness, felt the IGGI of the priest, as if not believing that he was real, and then, smoked, shouted something into the microphone. At this time, there was a furious schedule in the hall.

The change in the pace to the less oggi Iggi Pop allowed himself on the song “NightClubbing” , released in 1977 on his debut solo album “The Idiot” , which became one of his few commercial successes, he performed it, sitting in the Vienna chair, and idiot, portraying that the microphone smokes like a gavan. cigar. But in the final, the rock man-made, which was obliged to David Bowie, who produced this entry, who has communicated with him and for some reason refusing to remember these times , allowed himself a second of seriousness, saying that this song was composed of Bowie and this is “Fucking Great Music” . However, right there, without gluing, his usual grin returned to IGGI’s face with wrinkles, and he, having spoiled the famous song by Frank Sinatra, sang that when he was 21, it was a very good year to smoke jambs, take LSD and constantly have sex. This impromptu became a prelude to the song The Stoogenes “1969”, but, as I remember from it, that year the 21-year-old IGGI POPLE had a different point of view.

When the final “Real Cool Time” died down and the audience went back to the scenes, Iggi Pop lingered on the stage. At first he was lying on her, showing someone in the heavens of Faki, then he made several circles of honor, welcoming the crowd, enthusiastically chanting “IGGI!”, Then he pretended to leave, but returned, said the weighty “I Love You” and threw the microphone to the floor. And even behind the Kulisa, he, wrapped in a white terry towel and surrounded by managers, smiled and waved the hall, which no longer saw him, but continued to yell enthusiastically.
