This double DVD package features a spectacular performance filmed at the 2005 Lokerse Festival. It includes blistering versions of most of the tracks from the first two Stooges albums in addition to two newer songs, 'Skull Ring' and 'Dead Rock Star'. It's clear from the opening bass riff of 'Loose' that the Stooges' raw power has not waned. It all kicks off with the pounding primitive thud of Scott "Rock" Asheton's drums. Ex-Minuteman Mike Watt (standing in for the dearly departed Dave Alexander) lets rip with a powerful bass wobble guaranteed to let loose the most uptight caboose. Scott's brother Ron grinds in on guitar to create a filthy groove, over which he adds the mind-melting wail of distorted wah. On top of this sea of sound floats the one and only Iggy, whose grunting, gurgling, let-it-all-hang-out vocal style and on-stage gyrations epitomize the art of singing as the raw expression of the soul.

Sales Points
- Sure enough, there would be no Sex Pistols, nor even a Green Day, without the Stooges, but the band's influence spread ever wider in the 80s, 90s and noughties through genres such as alternative, grunge and metal.
- The undisputed Godfather Of Punk, Iggy Pop invented punk music years before the likes of Johnny Rotten and The Sex Pistols made the charts in 1977.
- In the 70s, The Stooges were worshiped by the likes of Lester Bangs, David Bowie and John 'Johnny Rotten' Lydon, whose Sex Pistols borrowed strongly from The Stooges' sound and attitude to kick start the punk revolution of 1977.
