The Amherst trio had towers of amps stacked up all over the stage, including one that was pointed directly towards front man J Mascis, in case his monitors weren’t providing him enough of his own guitar sound. And not having enough sound has never really been a problem for the group, and it certainly wasn’t on this evening as the band tore through a fiery 90 minute set that spanned the band’s entire career.

IS HE FOR REAL?!
thats the worst dancing ive ever seen.
what a shame for david lettermen
Yeah, you’re right… Iggy’s not looking so hot here. But then again, he’s clearly been given some restraints given the setting.
Like… wearing a shirt.
And I imagine that when you’re used to putting everything you have into your performances while you’re left trying to conjure up energy with Norman Cook and the CBS Orchestra backing and you have a lifeless audience who is likely looking at you the way most suburban touristy families are likely to look at Iggy Pop… things are probably going to feel a little unnatural (which could help explain the entire thing, right?).
Either way, Iggy’s real.
I have seen Iggy perform live many times spanning nearly 4 decades and have to agree this is the most restrained, clothed and heaviest I have ever seen him.
The setting and band did not lend themselves to the usual Iggy antics, but he is doing different music these days too.
He is very real and will always remain real – a legend. He still looks good and moves well for being 62.
I was not able to watch his recent television performances as I now live outside of the country and would like to thank whoever posted them on this site. It is always a pleasure to see Iggy.
Thank you!
