“First three songs, no flash, then out!” It’s the all too common directive for any live concert photographer—but when your subject’s Mr. Iggy Pop, who can refuse?
Those of you with sharp memories will recall we shot Iggy along with Josh Homme in San Francisco for a piece we ran earlier in the week, TVD’s Jason Miller writing last Tuesday, “Iggy Pop has nothing left to prove to the rock ‘n’ roll community. The Godfather of Punk and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee refuses to slow down one bit.
And why should he? His 17th studio album launched at the top of the Billboard Rock and Alternative charts, delivering the 68-year-old icon his first #1 album ever…”
Thus, with zero arm-twisting, TVD Chicago’s Brigid Gallagher met up with Iggy and Crew on Wednesday night at the city’s Chicago Theatre, and tasked with “first three songs, no flash, then out,” captured magic on stage with magic of her own—which we’re rather used to around here. —Ed.
