In April 2013, during the performance at the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney, Iggy Pop and The Stooges were in a revitalized phase of their careers, having just released the album "Ready to Die" the previous year. This album marked a significant return for the band, as it was their first studio effort since 2007's "The Weirdness" and showcased a blend of classic punk energy with contemporary themes. The live recording captures the exhilarating atmosphere characteristic of Iggy Pop's performances, including intense crowd interactions and a raw energy that echoes the punk ethos. Notably, Iggy Pop’s reputation as a daring and flamboyant performer is evident, as he has been known to engage in audacious antics and break traditional concert norms, a legacy that was vividly alive in this 2013 show, reinforcing his position as the "Godfather of Punk."
