Joined by Chad Smith of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Duff McKagan of Guns N' Roses, Andrew Watt, and Jamie Hince, Iggy Pop plays his song “The Passenger“ live in concert at The Masonic Auditorium in San Francisco, California on April 22, 2023. The Passenger appeared on Iggy Pop's second studio album, Lust For Life (1977). The song was inspired by the Jim Morrison poem, “The Lords,“ as well as Pop's time touring with David Bowie. Iggy Pop is a Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter from Ypsilanti, Michigan. This was the second night of his Every Loser Tour in support of his latest studio album released in January 2023. ========================= Iggy Pop And The Losers - Every Loser tour dates (2023): April 20 - Los Angeles, CA @ Regent Theater April 22 - San Francisco, CA @ The Masonic April 24 - Los Angeles, CA @ The Orpheum Theater April 27 - Los Angeles, CA @ Hollywood Palladium April 29 - Las Vegas, NV @ The Pearl ========================= Iggy Pop official bio: Widely acknowledged as one of the most dynamic stage performers of all time, Iggy Pop pre-figured both ‘70s punk and ‘90s grunge and has built a legendary career filled with both critical acclaim and fanatic cult success. There are never-ending migrations back to the Stooges three seminal LPs, while some of Iggy’s iconic solo albums including Lust For Life, The Idiot, New Values, Zombie Birdhouse, Blah Blah Blah, Brick by Brick, American Caesar, Skull Ring, Preliminaires, Apres and the latest Free along with many featurings and cooperations, have cemented his status as a true music innovator. The first two of his solo albums were co-written and produced by David Bowie – a collaboration widely discussed as one of the most epic musical alliances. In 2010, Iggy and the Stooges were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and in 2020 Iggy received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Iggy made a welcome solo return in 2016 with his Post Pop Depression album which is a result of a highly acclaimed collaboration between Iggy and co-creator Josh Homme. The album was nominated for a Grammy Award in “Best Alternative Music Album” category. The Tour resulted in a LIVE at Royal Albert Hall DVD (Best Live Music Film Award at UK MVA 2016). Iggy’s various film work gathered momentum: song “Gold”, collaboration with Danger Mouse, was nominated for a Golden Globe. “To Stay Alive: A Method” movie with Michelle Houellebecq was screened at several festivals to critical acclaim. Iggy also worked with Oneohtrix Point Never on a soundtrack for a Safdie Brothers movie “Good Time” (Soundtrack Award at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival). This 2023, Iggy Pop is set to release his 19th studio album, Every Loser. The album, produced by Andrew Watt, features performances from Duff McKagan, Chad Smith, Jane Addiction’s Dave Navarro, Foo Fighter’s Taylor Hawkins, and more. The album was preceded by singles “Frenzy” and “Strung Out Johnny.” ======================= The Passenger lyrics: I am a passenger And I ride and I ride I ride through the city's backsides I see the stars come out of the sky Yeah, they're bright in a hollow sky You know it looks so good tonight I am the passenger I stay under glass I look through my window so bright I see the stars come out tonight I see the bright and hollow sky Over the city's ripping sky And everything looks good tonight Singin' la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la Get into the car We'll be the passenger We'll ride through the city tonight We'll see the city's ripped backsides We'll see the bright and hollow sky We'll see the stars that shine so bright The sky was made for us tonight Oh, the passenger How, how he rides Oh, the passenger He rides and he rides He looks through his window What does he see? He sees the sight of hollow sky He sees the stars come out tonight He sees the city's ripped backsides He sees the winding ocean drive And everything was made for you and me All of it was made for you and me 'Cause it just belongs to you and me So let's take a ride and see what's mine Singin' la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la Oh, the passenger He rides and he rides He sees things from under glass He looks through his window's eye He sees the things he knows are his He sees the bright and hollow sky He sees the city asleep at night He sees the stars are out tonight And all of it is yours and mine And all of it is yours and mine So let's ride and ride and ride and ride Singin' la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la Singin' la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la Written by James Newell Osterberg Jr. (a/k/a Iggy Pop) / Ricky Gardiner ======== #iggypop #thestooges #thepassenger #chadsmith #duffmckagan #livemusic #liveconcert #concert #concerts #concertvideo #70srock #70s #sanfrancisco #bayareamusic
