"Motherfuckers…….Fuck
You" and with that endearing chant as Iggy burst on to the
stage the mayhem commenced. No word of warning, just straight into
it. "Yes, I do know I'm in fucking Scotland" he screams
as he commences with Raw Power gyrating around the stage with energy
that is amazing considering his age. He is wearing tight leather
trousers and little else, showing off his six pack (ish) as he squirms
around the stage wrapping the microphone lead around his forearm
simulating shooting up.
He
plays many favourites including Search & Destroy, Lust For Life
and The Passenger at which point the crowd are going wild and some
join him on stage. Iggy's strong vocals and manic physical presence
are spellbinding and the reaction is hugely impressive with a fittingly
awesome response from the audience who are mesmerised at this point.
Iggy
seems to have a following in Scotland that is more fanatical than
anywhere else. Iggy responds by performing with a passion and energy
that is unrivalled this weekend. The Scots can call him their own
on this evidence…..
