I left Canada the day this was televised on a 3 month backpacking trip through Europe. I was 19 years old. I landed in London on the 25th of May 1979. The next day I set out to explore London. I was walking down Oxford Street when I passed a guy carrying a lift size cut out of Iggy Pop! I was big into Punk and New Wave so this immediately caught my attention. A little further down Oxford I encountered a large crowd of punks outside a record store. Guess who was in side promoting his new album, New Values? I picked up the record and got in line to meet the Iggy. He looked like and acted like his countenance on the album cover, fun, friendly happy. What a charmer. I told him I was from Canada. He said he loved Canada. He gave ma a pile of Pins and asked me what I wanted signed on the Album. I said “Don’t look Down”. He wrote that and signed it. Big moment in my life. I turned all my friend onto that Album I returned to Canada in the Fall and found out Iggy was performing in Toronto. Me and a bunch of friends went to the show. We’re we’re on Acid. I met James Osterburg in London. In Toronto I saw Iggy perform, what a shock! This was a different animal altogether, a rather angry and confrontational show. He came out at some point carrying a huge tray of o deuvres , sandwiches and pickles an’ shit. He said; I hate you pathetic motherfuckers and threw the tray of food into the audience. After the show we were walking towards downtown and the sky lit up like DAYLIGHT. We thought thought it was a nuclear bomb, LOL. IT was the Mississauga Train Disaster. Look it up. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1979_Mississauga_train_derailment
..the beautiful beginning of Ig's "fuck it" era..starting over..broke again and screwed,with a sack full of masterpieces..the truest testament to a real romantic and global tide shifter..uncontrived..no bullshit abstract brilliance that reaches something in all of us..New Values is nothing short of landmark Iggy..right between the eyes..
He really and truly is. Like just the original original so sincere so authentic so real. And what's more in every interview I've ever seen him in he's genuinely respectful &, humble 🥰
I was lucky to see Iggy and this band on Sunday 29 April 1979 at Redcar Coatham Bowl, 5 days after this was shown on OGWT. The energy was amazing!!.. I remember Iggy abusing some Bikers at the front near the stage. Also at the encore, Iggy returned wearing a purple velvet smoking jacket, smoking a cigarette on a long cigarette holder. Jacket immediately thrown to the floor and straight into I WANNA BE YOUR DOG!! WOW!!! We all lost it!!! An incredible night, certainly one l will never forget. Thanks IGGY!!
"..Only Iggy could put that much energy into a performance for an empty studio." He was ahead of the CoronaVirus2 . He knew it was coming and was ready.
This is incredible! Best Iggy solo era, "New Values" is an amazing album. For very long there was just a short clip of this Old Grey Whistle Test, great that there's the whole show on the tube.
the whole eshter-friedman-berlin-golden-age-period is the best iggy era. 77-83. but nothing beats the concerts from 1978 tve eye tour with sonic rendezvous.
Mr. Glen Matlock playing a double cut Les Paul Jr. bass...Glen is pure class,as always and that's Scott Thurston playing that jewel of a Gibson Melody Maker that someone butchered to put humbuckers in...I love 'New Values', one of my favourite Iggy albums.
Yes, at this time he was still using cocaine. But in Berlin it was also where he and Bowie decided to stop drugs and change styles (life, music, look ...), fortunately!
@@musibaba70 Yeah, if he wasn't so good looking and not fat and ugly, no body would care, would they? Beauty is only skin deep and it always will be. Marriage or love doesn't mean a thing when you are ugly like me.
i grew up with "the old grey whistle test" being THE show for good music in the UK. so so iconic many bands and artists were on that show in the 70's and early 80's.
Heh.,.. Had no idea what the "Old Grey Whistle Test" was before i bought a Benny Hill collectors box set and he did some parody of it from back in the day. Nothing like this ever existed when i grew up in the late 90's. It was like our generation was robbed of a culture. Thank you for posting and sharing
"New Values" is one of my favourite Iggy albums, so it's a real treat to see him performing some songs from that album with the line up he had then. Very good version of "Fortune Teller" as well.
Met Iggy a few times at Lili's in Hamtramack MI, early 80's-nice dude, definitely high strung (if you been there you know what I mean-Destroy All Monsters and The Mutants were great bands that also played there semi-regular).
My old punk friends were always laughing in my face when I told them "there's a lot of blues, r'n b, jazz in punk, at least in protopunk this is true". They just couldn't explain how Spelmann, Bo Diddley, Sun Ra, Ornette Coleman and so many others appeared as inspirations or covers...
I'm 66 and I was there in the beginning of punk and your rights about this The Rolling Stone did this in the early 60's and Iggy Pop did other blues songs other than this
I was fortunate enough to see Iggy many years ago headlining Reading on a Friday night, he followed Sonic Youth, it was a masterclass, Iggy and his then band were on fire, nobody else came close.
@@versioncity1 I only went to Reading twice, the first year was an absolute lightning storm on the Friday night, tent underwater and slept in a MIV cortina for the rest of the weekend, saw bands such as Lords of the New Church and New Model Army. Iggy was the year when it was amazingly hot and dry for the entire weekend and around 160,000 people for the Friday night. Cant remember the year, its was all a bit crazy way back then.
The oddest group of musicians backing Iggy here (and, on New Values LP) Scotty Thurston on guitar, Klaus Kruger on drums, Jackie Clark from Ike and Tina's band slides to second guitar from bass and, Glen Matlock slides in on bass. That New Values guitar playing is deceptively tricky and genuinely interesting
Hi Doug, I agree that "New Values" is a really interesting album for all it's subtle details in the guitar and other instruments. Also, there's the great ballad "Endless Sea". It's one of my favourite Iggy albums.
That's Glen Matlock?? Hell yeah!! He deserved to be playin with someone like Iggy. Always thought it a shame he was replaced with Sid, who couldn't play for shite.
For those who are interested, Mr. Osterberg played drums in a band when he was in high school. The band was called The Iguanas which was printed on his bass drum. That is why people called him Iggy!
@Brian Wurch : Hi Brian.... Perhaps would you let us know *more* about this "more legendary" and more "funny" other story ....???? Saying this, it's like saying nothing.... I mean it, and I'm really curious about it.... So please, would you be kind enough to tell us what it is about.....!? Thanks in advance.... (or not)... depends of what you ll answer (or not...)
Scotty Thurston is lead & rythm guitar player on ALL songs except for "Don't Look Down" and "The Endless Sea" which are James Williamson (and, possibly Scotty...I'd have to ask JW for definite conclusion). Remember that Jackie Clark was a tremendous guitarist (led Ike and Tina Turner band from late 50s/early 60s through around 1973-ish AS GUITARIST) and, that he played 2nd guitar on the New Values Tour...so, he MIGHT have also played on something...the band is a bizarre mix of players who were from quite different backgrounds (which IMO helped greatly with the unusual/awesome sounds and, progressions on the album)
This performance of "I Wanna Be Your Dog" was cut short because he ran out of time but he had the coolest ending. Finally, I found the full performance(s) on this show. Thanks man.
I was very fortunate to see Iggy Pop and his band on 29/4/79 at Redcar Coatham Bowl. This was 4 days after their OGWT appearance. WOW! Amazing GIG! Too much to list but when Iggy returned for an encore he wore a velvet smoking jacket and had a long cigaret holder. Jacket and cigs lasted a matter of seconds! Amazing!! 👍👍
I'm 62 now. When I was a teenager I bought his first LP. I wish I still had it because I was in love with it then. I'd love to hear it again. Can't find any cuts of that LP anymore. So yes, he was around when this senior citizen was a teenager.
I've never really watched Iggy doing his thing on stage but he's a riot to watch!! So much unbridled energy and enthusiasm it blows my mind. I love watching him be off the wall it makes me laugh!!
@Joe Cosgrove MES was a big Iggy fan. Play "Slates, Slags Etc" next to "I Wanna Be Your Dog", and you can see the links. He even quotes his name in "What You Need" from the brilliant "This Nation's Saving Grace."
If you pause at 1:37, that's Scott Thurston (the pride of Medford, Oregon) who's been a musical Swiss Army knife for every band he's played with -- including Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers.
I saw Iggy twice. Once in '82 or '83, and again in '91. The supporting musicians in '91 were not nearly as good. Lux Interior was equal to Iggy, as far as being physical, energetic and entertaining. This lineup is great. Check out a live version of Bang Bang from around 1981 on UA-cam. You'll be surprised who is in his band.
I was an art student in Edinburgh when the New Values album was released and saw Iggy and this very band at a poxy little night club called Tiffany’s. Iggy walked across the hands of the audience and just rocked the place. Glen Matlock looked great and was playing a Dan Armstrong bass with a sliding pick up I think, but that could be my old brain playing tricks on me!
saw this lot at the Rainbow Finsbury Park, Leighton Buzzards supporting. Third World Taxis initially took us to Sadler's Wells. A good night out in town.
Great stuff. Saw Ig at the long-gone Lyceum on the New Values tour in 1979. Some buffoon threw a beer can at him, and it hit him in the face. He didn't even flinch and simply carried on. There was blood running down his face, yet he gave a blistering performance. One tough cat, and the best onstage presence I have ever witnessed. A true one-off. Thanks for posting this footage. Scott Thurston and Glen Matlock, what a pair!

While some people considered there a reason for there to be necessary a musical movement under the moniker "punk" after the 10 years of The Stooges' contribution to the history of popular music (culminating in this), for the life of me I cannot begin to imagine what it is they were thinking. Talk about rendering everything else superfluous.

@@l.salisbury1253 It's to bad that Hendrix had such terrible road crew who kept messing up his sound system. Lemmy Kilmister was road crew and said they were all high as heck on LSD.
Yes. Scott Thurston's an excellent guitarrist. Wished he'd played more with Iggy, both keys and guitar Solos at 4:43 and 7:14 together with that ultra short one at 8:40 are brilliant. Short, sharp and dirty
OMG, I laughed so much when viewing this vid! He s so "speed", cannot stay still for a while ! And I was just on the way to say, that it was the first time I saw Iggy with a shirt on ! 😂 Oups! he put it OFF !!! The quality of the sound and the image are far from being perfect, but nevermind! This vid is a real Jewel !!!!! Thanks so much for its upload 🎼🎶🎵
Iggy Iggy Iggy - come put a spark of life into my funeral (I'm 78). I suspect you could bring me back to life again. Perhaps as a vampire. That'd be fun
It's called cocaine. Lol but seriously he did talk about taking biker speed in the early days of the Stooges. I'm pretty sure him and Bowie had access to the best coke before they quit.
I've been on an old Iggy Pop binge lately....
My God he was great in the day.
I saw The Stooges in Boston in 1969, he hadn't really hit his stride yet but was getting there and the band were really professional live, tight.
He is great 0:03 always
Still is.

New Values, Lust For Life and The Idiot are classic Iggy solo albums. New Values is chock full of classic songs. It's a great album
I agree. The songs were catchy and tight. And the lyrics tight too. . I just wish they would remaster it with more bass.
I think it was the right album for Iggy at the right time in his career. It's full of hidden jems.
Yes, they are the Iggy trinity for me. I so adore New Values.

To be fair Iggy probably didn't realise!
"..Only Iggy could put that much energy into a performance for an empty studio." He was ahead of the CoronaVirus2 . He knew it was coming and was ready.

I think that melody maker sounds killer with that guys fingers and the humbuckers the single coils couldn't cut through that band easy
New Values is an AWESOME album! So many great songs on it.
Who's the guitar player with the cowboy hat & Ovation? While we're at it who's the drummer too?
Matt S. That were Jackie Clark and Klaus Kruger on drums for sure!
I'm pretty sure James Williamson plays on New Values.
Iggy in fine vocal form both in this performance and on the New Values album ( underrated classic)
There's Zumba and there's Iggy's Body Shop Cardio Class.
Fueled by HEAPS of speed/heroin!

For some reason, Iggy Pop always sounds better live.
yeah when i was in a band we always sounded our best playing live and rehearsal studio i didn't like recording studio was a bit of a pain to me i mean as a group we had good time afterwards but fuck sake man all the waiting around and then being in a booth yourself you kind of loose a bit of you groups sound IMOO.
True! The only thing better than live Iggy is live Hendrix!
@@l.salisbury1253 It's to bad that Hendrix had such terrible road crew who kept messing up his sound system. Lemmy Kilmister was road crew and said they were all high as heck on LSD.
@@leighfoulkes7297 ya, i remember interviewing someone- they complained of that - really sucks
@@martinpark8371 That's why Bowie only let the Spiders do Jean Genie in one take.
He has a pretty damn fine body for a drug abuser. He's eating well and working out at the very least.
Awesome performer.
Ahahahahaha! Ahaha! Hah!
Great Line Up
Yes. Scott Thurston's an excellent guitarrist. Wished he'd played more with Iggy, both keys and guitar Solos at 4:43 and 7:14 together with that ultra short one at 8:40 are brilliant. Short, sharp and dirty
He joined Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers in 1991.What a career!
Outrageous!he,s still going,articulate.love him.
Creí haber visto el poco y material de baja calidad de Iggy hasta que cumplió más o menos los 55 así que muchas gracias.
& that was before red-bull.
reekashade but not before cocaine...
LOL! Iggy clearly didn't need it.
Nobody comes close to IGGY... Not even in the 21st Century!😎👍🏻
And that's a good thing
this right here is life gracias
That's a damn good bass player
great guitar tone
The band:
> Scott Thurston - guitar
> Glen Matlock - bass
> Jackie Clark - rhythm guitar
> Klaus Kruger - drums, percussion
A dream band.
The Stooges and Iggy rock!
OMG, I laughed so much when viewing this vid! He s so "speed", cannot stay still for a while !
And I was just on the way to say, that it was the first time I saw Iggy with a shirt on ! 😂
Oups! he put it OFF !!!
The quality of the sound and the image are far from being perfect, but nevermind! This vid is a real Jewel !!!!!
Thanks so much for its upload 🎼🎶🎵
Renata Seidl You’re welcome :)
Pure class!!
Wild, Wild, Iggy!!!
I like his song “ My Name Is Mok”...thanks a lot.
That's Lou Reed from the movie Rock and Rule.
Alright, Dollface ... come on and bore me ... 7:10
Demais obrigado pelo registro postado
Iggy!!!!✊
Awesome performance.
Iggy Iggy Iggy - come put a spark of life into my funeral (I'm 78). I suspect you could bring me back to life again. Perhaps as a vampire. That'd be fun
Could watch iggy all day long!
I don't know who influenced who, but I hear a bit of Bowie and the Spiders in that second song.
THIS IS MORE LIKE IT...MORE BLUES.
The record he'd just made at this point was called "New Values." Turn it up loud - it'll blow your hair back.
1979 was the year I first saw him age age 14 in London
James Williamson was pretty cool as well!
is that williamson on guitar here?
No@@johnshirley5222ITS Scott thurston
Who needs Josh Homme and co when you see and hear this line up!!!!
ummmm, Iggy does!
@@NoSheep2 😂😂😂👍👍
Iggy definitely had the best speed in 70s
It's called cocaine. Lol but seriously he did talk about taking biker speed in the early days of the Stooges. I'm pretty sure him and Bowie had access to the best coke before they quit.
Great and early performance
Iggy Pop is a hot precious treasure.
