(5 out of 5 stars)
"Show was recorded at Shibuya Axe,in Tokyo on March 22,2004.Good sound quality.I've heard a few complaints about the sound quality from other patrons.I don't know what these nimrods are whining about,the sound is fine!Get a l-i-f-e!Tracks that should have certain Stooges fans wetting their beds are the total slamming opener "Loose",the blistering "1969","I Wanna Be Your Dog"(how many bands have covered this tune?),"No Fun","1970",new songs "Skull Ring" and "Dead Rock Star" along with the ass-kicking "Electric Chair" and the finale "Not Right".Material here was pulled from '69's self-titled Stooges album,'70's 'Funhouse' and 2003's 'Skull Ring'.Line-up:Iggy-vocals,Ron Asheton-guitar,Scott Asheton-drums,Mike Watt-bass and Steven Mackay-sax.Wanted to also mention this CD has a LOT of cursing.What more could a true fan of proto-punk ask for?So highly recommended,it almost hurts.Heard this title may already be out-of-print."
How to make a good live Stooges CD.

"As the other reviews posted here advise: This CD is for dedicated Stooges fans. The audio quality is not what you would hope for. I have advice for those who want a live, contemporary, Stooges CD.
1) Buy the "Iggy and The Stooges Live in Detroit" DVD from Amazon.
2)Use your favorite DVD audio editing software or DVD audio ripping software to pull the audio tracks off of the DVD.
3)Transfer the audio to a CD.
4)Enjoy.
Though Steve's sax is mixed a little hot for my taste, the audio is very, very good. Ron's guitar is right there, loud and proud the way it ought to be. The only downside is that there are a couple of songs on Telluric Chaos that are not on Live in Detroit. Believe me, it's worth the tradeoff.
Not that Telluric Chaos isn't a good bootleg - it's better than average for a, well, a bootleg. Look at the back cover if you do buy it. The photo is reversed. Ron is not left handed. What's that tell you about the quality control of the producer?"

"this is a really good audience recording...and i'm kind of a bootleg snob. the performance by iggy and crew is absolutely on fire...the energy is fantastic. iggy pop is the single most important person in rock'n roll history. die-hard Stooges fans DO NOT MISS OUT on this because I've heard its ALREADY OUT OF PRINT. Essential for the hardcores."
Let the Power Fall

"With a fired up Iggy (Pop) Stooge, Ron Ashton (g), Scott Ashton (d), Steve Mackay (sax) and Mike Watt (b) make this much more than an ongoing reunion tour by ancient rockers.
It is nearly 80 minutes of hard-edged "proto-punk" that is made loud to be played even louder. The Stooges are in their element and deliver an intensity that captures the period before the band imploded in the early-1970s.
Recorded on March 22, 2004 at Shibuya-Ax in Tokyo, Japan, the 17 cuts are mostly drawn from the band's first two albums - The Stooges and Fun House - with the latter being played in its entirety.
To casually dismiss The Stooges is a mistake. To think the band has nothing left in the gas tank is just plain wrong. This is a highly flammable sonic soundscape.
