Unlike today in the world of smartphones where fans around the world would have a video the moment Bowie stepped on stage, most of audience had no prior knowledge that he was part of Iggy’s group.įeatured on this official screenprint are Iggy Pop's iconic concerts at the Agora Ballroom in Cleveland, Ohio, on March 21st and 22nd. Bowie became a member of Pop’s band for the six-week jaunt promoting the album playing the piano, keyboards, and providing backing vocals. In the early spring of 1977, while largely both ensconced in an apartment building in West Berlin, Pop and Bowie set out on the road together to promote The Idiot. Iggy has attributed his rebirth to Bowie, who he’s said “resurrected” him, and he’s spoken many times over the years of his appreciation for Bowie’s faith in him, and for his kindness. Though credited solely to Pop, The Idiot was a collaboration between Iggy and his friend, David Bowie. The record featured an enormous contribution from Bowie in the form of production, composition and, possibly, as a musician (no official list of line-up credits has ever been published).
Iggy Pop’s The Idiot LP wasn’t just his solo debut forty-four years ago the 1977 album marked his return after three years of laying low.
