Iggy Pop "Live At Montreux Jazz Festival 2023"

Iggy Pop is an avant-garde icon and a punk pioneer. The Montreux Jazz Festival is a boundary-pushing event that brings the best of all musical genres to one gorgeous location every year. “Live At Montreux Jazz Festival 2023” (soon to be available as a 2LP Gatefold) captures the dazzling Iggy Pop performance that could only happen here.

First in a series of earMUSIC releases from the festival, this concert marked Iggy’s third appearance at the 57th edition of Montreux. Backed by a seven-piece band, Iggy breathes new fire into Stooges classics like “I Wanna Be Your Dog” and “T.V. Eye” and ignites the adoring crowd with visceral run-throughs of “The Passenger” and, of course, “Lust for Life.”

2023 marked Iggy’s return to the top 10 in major territories with his album “Every Loser.” It was the perfect moment to showcase his classic songs and share new ones (“Modern Day Ripoff,” Frenzy”) at the venerated Stravinski Auditorium.

With the artist going from strength to strength in this new phase of his career “Live At Montreux Jazz Festival 2023” is the perfect mix of vintage Iggy and new Iggy with pristine 4K visuals and astounding audio (recorded in multi-track). It’s a singular moment in a singular career.
