Review by Dave Thompson Iggy Pop was in a peculiar position in the mid-1980s. On the one hand, the white heat of excitement that surrounded his re-emergence during 1977-1978 had been dissipated not only by time, but also by the succession of increasingly unconvincing albums he released at decade's end; on the other, he was now so firmly entrenched within the rock'n'roll furniture that it wasn't even a shock when he scored a hit single, with Blah Blah Blah's recounting of "Real Wild Child". But he still put on a live show that left your jaw on the floor, and though the set list here owes nothing to the increasingly tightrope-like performances he gave in the late 1970s, there is no denying the energy and effort involved. For obvious reasons, the newly-minted Blah Blah Blah devours the lion's share of the set list. But, woven between the fiery reinventions of a studio set that was just a little too smooth, flashes of past brilliance gleam like the jewels they always were - "I Got A Right", "Gimme Danger" and "Some Weird Sin" kick things off, "Sister Midnight", "Nightclubbing" and "China Girl" percolate amidships and, if the earliest Stooges are horrifically under-represented, with just one song from the first two albums, the version of "Down On The Street" is compensation regardless. Not a classic Pop live album - for that, you need the shows that were recorded between 1977-1980, when he was still dancing on the edge of musical survival. But still it's a firm reminder of why he remained important... and why he's still up there today.
