iggy pop in 1979

By 1976 Iggy Pop had achieved rock and roll notoriety by the end of the 1960's. He'd met David Bowie in 1971 who'd then gone on to produce him in 72's R'aw Power album'. Since the collapse of The Stooges with Iggy's dependancy on heroine, meeting Bowie had been a boost to his flagging music direction and Bowie had seen Iggy as needing the full support he'd lost and also recognised his own reflection in the drug dependency.
In 1976 Iggy was now sick of being sick and along with Bowie they moved to Berlin in a self motivated attempt to clean themselves up in isolation and along the way happened to produce a whole new sound than that of The Stooges bands, and probably Iggy's best known albums 'The Idiot' and 'Lust For Life'. Berlin had worked out well for both of them.
Then moving to Arista Records Iggy released 'New Values' in 1979 which was a complete about face from his Bowie produced albums and a return to the Stooges wall of guitar sound.
The album failed to sell.
So now pick up the tour bus with Iggy in a rare short film of him in 1979. He's 32 year old, clean from dependency, talking and thinking clearly. The songs are 'Dog Food', 'Real Cool Time' & 'Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell' live at The Loghorn, Minneapolis. Plus interviews with some fans. The live band sound isn't the best quality but there's still plenty of interest in this film.
And if you want to know why Iggy has no trouble in taking the shill with his last few years of Insurance adverts. The last words he say's will tell you all.
