Iggy Pop on the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1979

Every so often I have to return to this wonderful performance of the Chairman of the Bored on the 4/24/1979 episode of Old Grey Whistle Test. The band (Iggy, Scott Thurston, Glen Matlock, Jackie Clark, Klaus Kruger) played four tracks that night: The Fortune Teller, New Values, I’m Bored, and I Wanna Be Your Dog.

An iconic Iggy moment with an amazing band line-up from the New Values period.

Bonus track: Here’s Iggy last week, doing a tribute duet to Serge Gainsbourg with Jane Birkin (Gainsbourg’s former collaborator and partner) on The Tonight Show. What can we say, the Iguana has serious staying power and range.
