5.0 out of 5 stars The True Sound of Iggy, January 23, 2003

This review is from: TV Eye: 1977 Live (Audio CD)

I don't know what the other reviewers who returned this wanted from a recording; maybe they wanted Year 2003 quality recording, like Yanni Live. THIS IS IGGY FROM THE 70's! TV Eye is the best live recording of The True Sound of Iggy, and TV Eye is the proof. Like it or not, "bootleg" sound or no, this is what his band sounded like, and it mightily kicks. The over the top guitar and bass playing, Iggy shouting and moaning the lyrics, it's the best. It was also, I believe, the very first album to sport a full sized parental warning sticker, God bless him. If you want more civilized, better produced music, look elsewhere. If you want the True Sound of the man who would insult anyone and literally bleed for his audience, buy this and play it LOUD!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brutally honest, March 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: TV Eye: 1977 Live (Audio CD)

This was Iggy in his truest form, climbing up from the bottom. There was something about the way he screamed "I got a right" that let you know, he certainly did and he worked it for all it was worth. Maybe not the best production of it's time but still the most honest. this guy was possessed. Music was a drag and then there was glam. Iggy Pop walked that fine line between them, he spit off to the side

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific, January 28, 2003

Terrific live album of this intractable musician. Iggy Pop can hardly be surpassed in fierceness and intensity. He behaves like a hurt wild animal that has been urged into narrowness and now beats out blindly. Whereas the studio versions of the songs are already quite fast, the pace on these live versions is just breathtaking. I don't want to highlight any single songs. They are all excellent. By the way, on piano is David Bowie who also has written some songs together with Iggy Pop.
