Music Video Distributors and Target Video have released Iggy Pop - Live San Fran 1981 on DVD. This is the Godfather of punk, dressed in drag, in an exceptionally energetic performance for a crazed-crowd in San Francisco (Pop is seen in this photo from 2004's feature Coffee and Cigarettes).
For more than 30 plus years Iggy Pop defines the live show, from the chaos of the early Stooges shows to his recent work with the Trolls (as well as the reformed Stooges). Fronting a band featuring Blondie drummer Clem Burke and future David Bowie guitarist Carlos Alomar, Pop is as unpredictable and dominant as ever (no small feat since he is sporting a mini skirt, garters and stockings for most of the show). Filmed on November 25, 1981 near the end of their tour supporting his 1981 album Party.
