5.0 out of 5 stars You need this dvd., April 12, 2004

This review is from: Iggy and the Stooges - Live in Detroit (DVD)

Reunions suck. Always. They are usually for nostalgia only. Fun, but not essential. This is the exception. Iggy is loud, wild, aggressive, and the Ashetons (along with Mike Watt) groove like it's 1969 all over again. This performance is not just a novel reunion, it is top notch. It's no coincidence this show was rated as one of the best concerts of 2003. I've read the complaints about how this dvd was filmed. Well, I suppose if you like fast edits, effects, and an abundance of crowd shots, this video is not for you. It does not look like mtv. At the same time, the quality of the footage is high. The cameras roll, the band plays, and you get to see how it actually went down. Generous bonus footage as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Sound & Peformance....Oh, And Iggy, 'Nuff Said., August 22, 2004

"The Woj" (Downers Grove, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Iggy and the Stooges - Live in Detroit (DVD)

What hit me from the opening song, "Loose", was the killer tone from Ron Asheton's guitar; talk about a trip in the "way back" machine. It's 1969 all over again. If the fuzz-wah guitar from "Funhouse" still gives you goosebumps, I guarantee this dvd will not disappoint.
We're talkin' flat out in your face Marshall stacks. What follows is a true Stooges fan dream come true. Again, the sound throughout the performance is excellent. The mix between the bass, drums, guitar & Iggy's voice is perfect. Oh, and let's not forget Mr. Pop. Iggy is peerless when it comes to live performances, and he proves himself again on this dvd. The camera work gives the viewer a real sense of what being at this concert in person must have been like. This dvd is not plagued with the constant camera angle changes every two seconds like on many concert performances. We get a good look at all the performers throughout the show; especially Iggy & Ron Asheton during his guitar solos. (By the way....I don't get the reviews slamming the camera work here? I quess the fact I have all the original Stooges albums on vinyl & don't watch MTV must have something to do with it). Also included is some great bonus material including performance by the band in a small New York record store. While the sound on the record store show is only fair, it's Iggy live! Come on, how many dvds are out there capturing what this man is all about! Anyone who is reading this must be a Iggy & The Stooges fan and debating the purchase of this dvd. Add this to your cart & buy it ASAP! Do not shy away from this one iota. You will not regret this purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Godlike beyond all belief, October 4, 2005

Riot Nrrrd™ (Los Androideles, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Iggy and the Stooges - Live in Detroit (DVD)

Have you ever sat and watched something that was so unbelievable you just sat there with your mouth agape, with tears (of joy, not sadness) running down your face?!?

That's what this DVD - and this performance - did to me. I was literally dumbfounded looking at the screen - I could not believe what I was seeing was really happening. I think my jaw still has a scar from it smacking the floor in astonishment.

It's almost like as if The Stooges had never left. Iggy is amazing (he has no right to be in that good a shape at his age) and the band rips through all the timeless Stooges classics with piledriver-like efficiency. The hometown Dee-troit crowd seems to know how momentous the occasion is - their reception is nothing short of riotous. (And half the crowd clambers up on stage at one juncture.)

Like an incredulous L.A. Weekly reviewer said after reviewing their first Coachella reunion gig - "The Stooges! The f---in' Stooges!!!"
