Great Driving Music ! -Just Don't Get A Speeding Ticket !,
By Jeff Andersen (Omaha, NE USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: King Biscuit Flower Hour Presents in Concert (Audio CD)
I discovered the music of Iggy Pop about 6 years ago when I first listened to the Stooges' album Fun House. After listening to the first three songs on that album, I was hooked. After buying Fun House, I soon followed by purchasing The Stooges, and then, Raw Power. Later, I moved on to Iggy's solo stuff, The Idiot, Lust for Life, etc. All of these albums were great! While listening to all of this great music, I couldn't believe that I hadn't known about it before. Iggy was and still is all about singing hard-charging, powerful, in-your-face music that completely rocks. But aside from all of this, Iggy's reputation as a live performer is legendary. I am a huge fan of energetic frontmen in music and Iggy definitely fits the bill. He's actually LIVED the decadence he sings about and he does it with the energy of a wild animal. Unfortunately, I never had the good fortune to hear Iggy perform live, until I bought this album.I am always careful when buying live recordings, but given it was Iggy, I thought I would take a shot. This album, as it turns out, is great. It is Iggy's concert recorded by King Biscuit Flower Hour on July 19, 1988 at The Channel in Boston. The sound quality is excellent, the setlist is solid and Iggy and his band are in top form. As he says in one of his between-song dialogues, "We're just gonna rock it straight tonight!" and that's exactly what he does! The songs really move right from the opening track, "Instinct", and continue all the way to the closing track, a great version of "I Wanna Be Your Dog". As the title of this article suggests, this CD makes for great driving music. In fact, I liked this album so much, I bought King Biscuit's other Iggy Pop concert, Live in NYC, a 1986 show from the Ritz in NYC. If you like this album, check out Live in NYC, which is equally great and contains a great version of "Real Wild Child". Thank you for the music and honesty Iggy!

"Neighborhood Threat" in Action,
By "mencken61" (Metairie, La. United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: King Biscuit Flower Hour Presents in Concert (Audio CD)
The fine book "Neighborhood Threat," an account of life on the road with Iggy in 1988-89, is personified here. Iggy, married and civilized but still savage, goes on tour with a fine band--and rips up just about every gig with a power not seen in years. This being the Instinct tour, songs from that album are liberally represented. "High on You" is a pure assault; the title track kills; and "Cold Metal" and "Squarehead" are slaps to convention. The Stooges' stuff is not forgotten. "1969" and "1970" are thrown around nicely, and Iggy still demands to be our dog. As live gigs go, this is a fine example.

Utter Mayhem!,
By A Customer
This review is from: King Biscuit Flower Hour Presents in Concert (Audio CD)
This album rocks, totally no BS. I bought this used and listened to it once and put it away. Later on (about a year!) I was going through some hard times and pulled it out while looking for something to motivate me which I could relate to. I was totally floored!! The energy is unbelievable and it goes to show that Iggy is the godfather of punk. I now realize that Rollins, Manson and all the rest learned a great deal from this much underrated and talented rock icon!! I now own a good percentage of this guys catalog, having moved on to the Stooges and reveling in "Beat em Up." Iggy just keeps going and going and going. Rock lives!
