Iggy & The Stooges Prepare Live DVD

'Raw Power Live' out on September 27th

Iggy & The Stooges are set to release their new concert DVD ‘Raw Power Live: In the Hands of the Fans’ on September 27th.

Deciding to re-visit their iconic album ‘Raw Power’ Iggy & The Stooges were faced with a mountain to climb. The energy in the 1973 recording almost tore apart their youthful incarnation, so how were they supposed to re-create the material?

Thankfully, Iggy Pop’s energy knows no bounds. The wrinkled rocker remains a prime contortionist with the rejuvenated band swiftly clicking into gear.

Playing a series of dates around the world, the band entered All Tomorrows Parties last September with a point to prove. Named alongside some far younger acts, Iggy & The Stooges blasted through a feral show.

Lining up with Mike Watt on bass and Steve MacKay on saxophone, the group rampaged through ‘Raw Power’ alongside some rare and early material.

Shot by a professional film crew, the forthcoming DVD enables fans to enjoy the performance whenever they want. launched by MVD Entertainment, the In The Hands Of The Fans series allows fans to become the film crew.

Part concert film and part reality TV show, the results are a very intimate portrayal of life on the road with Iggy & The Stooges.

“Getting this top-notch performance of the entire Raw Power album by The Stooges realized a life long dream,” Iggy Pop “This shit really sizzles and we are so obviously a crack band in a class of our own.”

The band are shown tearing through a number of classics, performing ‘Raw Power’ in its entirety. Famously given a flawed mix by David Bowie, Iggy & The Stooges demonstrate how the album should have sounded.
