The annual Tibet House Benefit Concert – a genre-spanning, cross-cultural charity show at Carnegie Hall that raises money for the non-profit Tibetan cultural institution – is frequently host to various unexpected pairings. Just last year, for instance, the event saw Patti Smith and Miley Cyrus singing together on the same stage.
The 2016 edition, which took place last night (Feb. 23) at Carnegie Hall, featured an equally stark contrast in performers – only this time, those artists happened to occupy the same body. Both Iggy Pop – mercurial madman and proto punk’s prowling panther – and James Osterberg, the 68-year-old Michigan-born man whose body frequently hosts the spirit of the Stooges frontman, performed at the event.
Following scorching performances from slinky soul powerhouse Sharon Jones (backed by the Patti Smith Group) and a dead-waking set of Gypsy punk from Gogol Bordello – additionally, FKA Twigs’ two songs and nimble choreography kept Carnegie Hall enraptured in hushed awe – Pop took the stage to end the evening with a one-two punch David Bowie tribute.
