Iggy Pop

My first concert at the Anthem. It's in a great location, and the space accommodates many (6000?) but gives all floor standers the feeling of being close to the performer. Iggy Pop is one of a kind; he is unashamed of his late-70's physique and he bares it bravely while he performs with gusto and wild abandonment. The crowd responded with enthusiasm to match Iggy's vigor and his unmistakable baritone delivery. His physique shows age, but his voice has not declined. At one point, the Godfather of Punk moved to the floor and moved the length of the stage from behind a low barricade. To the delight of his fans, he touched their outstretched hands and allowed some to sing into his microphone. Iggy understands what his fans want, and he lives to deliver the vicarious thrill of being Iggy Pop. If you have the opportunity to see this guy, go! No one can stop the march of time, but Iggy is not conceding: he won't go down without a fight. He entertains and, more importantly, he inspires!

Iggy Pop was sensational & amazing last night at The Anthem in Washington DC. Iggy proved that age is just a number. He rocked from beginning till end. Can’t wait to see him again next Summer at Comerica Park in Detroit. Please come to Pittsburgh or Cleveland.

Crazy show Iggy still gets the Crowd into a frenzy. Molotovs showed a lot of potential. Good stage presence and a very clear Jam influnce . Sadly the sound mix was not good, we were 2nd row and couldn’t make out a word. It was much better for Iggy. Not sure of the reason but it made a big difference

Iggy Pop was in a good condition and full of thankfulness about aplause and screamings from the audiences for him. The sound was a little bit to mumphy and to quiet for the people behind the mixertable. After one and a half hour ended the Show. He played sutch hits as passenger, raw power , search to destroy, wanna be a dog and Lust for life. Good to see Iggy.

Some high points and low points. Still a great performer and trying to get an aging crowd going. Iggy’s voice not as good as once was and he’s not as agile as years gone past. That is the low points. Non-stop signing and 100% effort from him and for his age, this was amazing.

Venue nailed the audio, and the performance was spectacular. But the place got crowded fast. Unfortunately, before the show, people queued up and were called in by ticket number, which prevented those who got their tickets later from getting select merchandise. That didn't see fair given some of those people might have actually arrived at the venue earlier. Also, there's only one toilet inside the venue, which seems crazy given the theatre's actual size. After the show, there was an outside queue for the men's room, which isn't unusual for a smaller venue, but not one this size.

The whole Punkspring was amazing. All their bands were great. It was so good to see the S*x Pistols and they did a wonderful job. Iggy Pop was brilliant. He made my day or even month. Love Iggy Pop.

A few "deep cuts" added in to remind me how raw his stuff was. Raw in your face reality check. High energy balls out show.

There's absolutely no reason why a person should look, sound or control a crowd the way Iggy Pop does. Out of hundreds of shows, I'm sure this one will stand out in my life for many years to come. Loved the classic solo material, the Stooges tracks were done with the utmost respect that they deserve and the new songs meshed very well into the set. The brass section was a great touch too.

Not the best location for a rock concert though, sound quality was unfortunately affected. Iggy and the band did their best. Cheers

Great show...although the venue has a joke of a drink policy: No booze in the venue proper, but they sell it in the hallway; & they take the caps from your water bottles that they “graciously” allow you to take into the venue. Say No to the Northrop is all I say
