Press

It was a typical night of Stooges-style brutality but in an even more passionate form, as the group and its guests took a wide swing through the repertoire, clearly moved by the sense of occasion and the cacophonous spirit of the 1,700 fans who snapped up tickets for the concert in less than an hour.

Oh-oh, thanks for the notice.

All profits from the sale of the DVD go to the Ron Asheton Foundation.

This should sell a million, if there's any sense left in the world. Placing my order now.

Thanks man.

Heard 2 years ago jim Jarmush was gonna do a Sttooges doc and recorded the Ron show for this doc.
So what about the doc. with old Stooges footage?

Any word if the night's ending tribute tune to Ron by Iggy and James (on lap steel) will be included?

msteelin, that song is called Ron's Tune and it is on the list, so we should see it. It's also on youtube (or it was) as an audience video.

I am wondering what they mean exactly by Iggy's speech. Is it the presentation and acceptance of the key(s) to the city? Or is it the preamble to Ron's Tune?

Also wondering if the DVD was moved back from April release because of a possible Ready To Die release in April. (Someone had said that was the release month.) Ready To Die is not mentioned yet on Amazon that I can see.

I hope it's been delayed because of the anticipated overwhelming demand.

hopefully they need more time to also have the blu-ray ready !

Thanx for the hope, tpb, it's only fitting that Ron's Tune should be included. It was the most poignant part of the nite for me.

Yeah, that and the orchestral Dirt were the highlights for me. Oh and every single thing D. Tek did.

ditto That show made me a new/big fan of Tek The Monster.

Amazon is saying release date is June 4.

I hope in the special features it includes Rollins' & Scott's speeches and the slide show with the orchestra. Those were definite highlights. Even the opening group of teenage Stooges was cool.

Yeah this is balls having to wait!

I'm assuming it so the DVD can piggie-back on the promotion of the album release.

I HATE WAITING!!!
