Haven´t listen to all yet. But:
Bonus disc: Adelaide 89, Not A quality sound. Like Boston 88 set list that are better.
Playing With Cars and Pistols: Outtakes etc with Ric Ocaseke and Steve Jones. Nothing new. I was hoping on studio quality on these, but they were like earlier releases.
Zombie Birdhouse Tour: This was better stuff. Zombie birdhouse tracks always better live.

what about the DVD ?

I believe the DVD is a recording of some set they did for TV heres a clip:

Its my favourite live clip of Iggy doing "I Wanna Be Your Dog" without The Stooges.

GOT IT!!! yay!!!

havent listened to it yet, hope its good!

edit -
hey, started listenin to this properly, and i love it sooooo much, actually lived up my expectations, thanks EasyAction!!!!

anyway, yeh how come they havent put the fire girl demo and the cold metal remix as tracks, on the website or on the sleeves/package - are these just 'hidden' tracks?

thanks

Not very many reactions here on the box. I think it is extraordinairy. The sound is so much better than WTFS I. The breaking point tour disc I think is the best. The other ones are more or less in line with live concerts already available. I already have the bootleg of Australia of the breaking point tour, but the set and the sound here are better.
Looking forward to box III!

same here Lucas, i love it so much, as much as or more than the first boxset actually, the quality is amazing compared to WTFS1

btw, breaking point is a highlight for me as well!! the setlist is amazing

Review from 1-94 bar

I think the whole package is brilliant, i really like the breaking point gig, it's mental.

I was at the venue gig with the spots & gaffer tape, Iggy was totally off his face.

Just received my set and am gonna start listening...NOW!

i think it goes without saying that iggy kicked a helluva lotta ass in the period when he was "iggy pop solo"...

hopefully, any of the detractors who think he should never play again will listen to these masterpieces and reconsider.

This version with Iggy and Sonic Youth is way better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSRwx4UfIdg

Best version ever, besides the orginal one with the Stooges! A bit lousy sound but it exists on many bootlegs with better sound.

Never quite figured out what it was recorded for?

That was released in 1995 and I think Ive got it on video like 1988 or so so Ive always supposed it was recorded for something else in the first place.

oh, i read your post incorrectly. sorry about that. it was originally broadcast on the UK tv show "snub".

Thanks! I belive that Iggy made a few gigs at town and country close to that date.

Was it a small show? I traded loads of videos back then but the first versions I got was of crap quality and it took atleast 3-4 years after the gig date before a decent one came up

(a bit off topic sorry )

Cool review. I might have to get this.

OK, I have listened to the set, and it is an INCREDIBLE package. Everything from the liner notes to the photos to the music. EVERYTHING! I wont regurgitate everything everyone else has said, but check out the I-94 review. Easy Action is doing a fantastic job!

Hey, anyone know if this clip is from the DVD?

High On You
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzO72k0hUXI

Hi,

I don't know if they included that since I don't own WTFS2, but I do know
that this was the "official music video".

Think they used his wildish live-action to move away from the
BlahBlahBlah Bowie'sBestBoi image.

I like High On You as a song, only the 80ies "David Hasslehoff power-ballad" sound
is a bit funny. Ever noticed the guitar plays ... e, F#, G

It's a very well made video and a great song and I think the guitar is simple but effective (just like on I Wanna Be Your Dog).

This video probably had a different director who had his own style. That may explain the wildish live-action or you may be right about Bowie's image.
