I listened to Iggy's new album "Every Loser" and give it a 3 out of 5, but would love to hear those new songs live

Glad to see that another IORRer was at the show! A fun time. Iggy is holding up well. I’m not sure about this band though, which seemed more like the groups he had in the 80s and 90s. Lacked the sophistication of the Free band (which I saw in Chicago last month—they could tear it up on occasion) and Post Pop Depression, and lacked the insanity the Stooges brought. A middle zone of rich and slick rockers. We’ll see how they do for the other four dates.
Gotta say the audience spent too much time on their phones. Iggy invited stage divers and there were only a few who took him up on the offer. Granted it was hard to get to the stage. The crowd livened up toward the end but should’ve brought it from the start. The show was 75 or 90 minutes, I lost count. He played 90 last month.
Walk on the Wild Side was a stunner, so tender to hear a survivor of that era, though a different scene, serenading us with the names of the dead of Warhol’s Factory.
The night’s opener, “News for Andy,” was inspired by Warhol, so it was nice to have the allusion reappear.

He invited a stage rush during Lust for Life, and it was glorious; the band, when I got onstage, looked elated. Their bands can't pull this off. It's a real testament to Iggy's persona on stage that he can create such an atmosphere, conditions for fans to join him and let loose and show their love. I danced and hugged Iggy, his shirtlessness a marvelous display of vulnerability, frailty, perseverance.

I'd recommend anyone within 500 miles of the Palladium to get there on Thursday.
