I've been on an old Iggy Pop binge lately.... My God he was great in the day.

That’s incredible he kept his shirt on the whole first song

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 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

I love Iggy so much. He's a true one-off. What a guy.

..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..

OGWT didn't have a studio audience. Only Iggy could put that much energy into a performance for an empty studio. He's amazing!

There's Zumba and there's Iggy's Body Shop Cardio Class.

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.

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.

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 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!!

Iggy in fine vocal form both in this performance and on the New Values album ( underrated classic)

This is a fantastically tight, well-rehearsed, and talented band.

I come back every couple months and crank it. Cheers!

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

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.

Stunningly great tour. Paris 79 LP is a fucking KILLER.

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.

"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.

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

new values is one of the coolest riff ever! and Scottie is here.

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.

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!

OMG!! And how friggin' cool is the band!!

I knew that shirt would come off at some point! lol

He played Birmingham Barbarella's a week or so after this Whistle Test performance. Still one of the best gigs I've ever been to forty years on.

Brilliant performer.........totally cool !!..

That's Glen Matlock on bass. Brilliant, I don't remember this at all.

My God. No one can _perform_ like that except Iggy Pop. The real deal.

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.

Chairman of the Bored !

Great clip. The band is so tight. Thanks for the post.

The greatest music Show ever to come on TV was the old grey whistle test....

I love how he moves even in the background as he is being announced. "I'm Bored," may go viral helping people enjoy their isolation.

No bout a dought it: Mr .Pop is the GREATEST talent of the 2nd half on the 20th Century!

No One can Top Iggy as a Performer/FrontMan !

Energetic and always true to himself.

The New Values Record is fucking amazing and definitely one of his best.

complete original one of a kind. love you iggy

Iggy's heroin dayz in Berlin with a one David Bowie. Fantastic piece of history! Thanks ✌

Thank you ! Great stuff . Never seen Iggy at this moment of this career.

i thought i recognized that first song. new values is a great song. great to see iggster as a young man

I must be slow to catch on ,,, but this video makes it painfully obvious how much Punk and New Wave had to owe this man

awesome. I've never seen New Value live and Bored as well. I know earlier Pop is better known but I love this record.

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!

Merely the greatest of all times, that's all

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).

fuckin brilliant..thanx uploader...classic gig man

Iggy is amazing.

I saw Iggy around this time at a club in Mpls when I was 14! I had a fake ID and Iggy was the first show in a bar I was able to get into! Good Times!

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.

For some reason, Iggy Pop always sounds better live.

Iggy!!!!✊

Iggy. You're magnificent,.

It's always so awesome to see him performing live!!!! ETERNAL IGGY!!!!

Awesome stuff 🎸❤️🔥MORE ‼️

Demais obrigado pelo registro postado

The Stooges and Iggy rock!

& that was before red-bull.

Pure class!!

Nobody comes close to IGGY... Not even in the 21st Century!😎👍🏻

Outrageous!he,s still going,articulate.love him.

Love this. Iggy ruled then..and still does.

Great set!

this right here is life gracias

That's a damn good bass player

Great upload. Kind regards

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 🎼🎶🎵

Wild, Wild, Iggy!!!

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!

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 song writing.. The harmony just so amazing, emotional and complex. And that guitar player is so,, good? I guess.

Snuff Box in 2006 did a funny sketch based on The Old Grey Whistle Test Matt Berry and Richard Ayoade. Death Musician and The Empty Room.) The Old Grey Whistle Test was a channel for BBC to listen to musicians and interview them that ran from 1969 to 1989.)

He has a pretty damn fine body for a drug abuser. He's eating well and working out at the very least. Awesome performer.

Could watch iggy all day long!

love it

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.

New values is Iggys best solo.

Great Line Up

Phenomenal.

Awesome performance.

Iggy definitely had the best speed in 70s

Iggy Pop is a hot precious treasure.

74 years later and he is a Grandad

💕 Iggy

Damn good

THIS IS MORE LIKE IT...MORE BLUES.

great guitar tone

Iggy is cool

I like his song “ My Name Is Mok”...thanks a lot.

*F**K Yeah!!---Hope someday to see a proper " Live" album from Iggy and THIS Band, "New Values" is still one kick ass record and the show's he performed during this time period we're some of his best!*

Excellent

the one and only ...

Who needs Josh Homme and co when you see and hear this line up!!!!

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

Creí haber visto el poco y material de baja calidad de Iggy hasta que cumplió más o menos los 55 así que muchas gracias.

I'm not bored anymore...Iggy Pop is singing.........Iggy Pop rocks🥳🤘 'Fortunel teller' is a very good song

The ultimate performer.
