*Tracks 4 and 6 are as they appear on the original master. I chose not to separate them. 

This fantastic soundboard recording was given to me by a musician/producer friend, who obtained it direct from the soundboard engineer. As far as I know, no tweaking has been done to the original master. The recording has only been distributed privately, and on an extremely limited basis, until now. 

Quality is superb, but what really makes this recording stand out from the pack is the interaction between Iggy and the audience. Unlike every other gig on the Stooges' reunion tour, this was no love-fest. In fact, the audience was downright hostile, and Iggy reacted as only he can. As anyone who has ever heard "Metallic K.O." will testify, Iggy is at his best when his back is against the wall.
