This is definitely not Iggy at his best. "Party" is one of his most lackluster albums and this performance lacks the vitality and energy which Iggy is known for. Iggy was at a fairly low point in his life and he LOOKS it. I'm surprised that older footage with The Stooges isn't available for rental; there were some truly amazing performances that hopefully will turn up. I'd recommend this to die-hard fans but by no means should it be used as an introduction to Iggy Pop. Clem Burke (of Blondie) is an amazing drummer and does well with what he has to work with. Perhaps there was a reason that this period in Iggy's career was "woefully undocumented"...
