This release captures the Minneapolis show from the North American tour supporting Iggy Pop's third album, *New Values*, featuring a superb audience recording. The backing band assembled for Iggy during this period was a dream lineup that thrilled punk fans: Brian James (the popular guitarist from The Damned), Glen Matlock (recruited after the Rich Kids disbanded), Ivan Kral (from the Patti Smith Group), and Klaus Krüger (from Tangerine Dream). The performance is razor-sharp, particularly on "China Girl"—a song that would later become a massive hit for David Bowie. It is also heartwarming to imagine Brian James—a genuine Iggy fan—happily playing guitar on the Stooges tracks. This was truly the peak of Iggy Pop's career, a time when he was fully demonstrating his songwriting prowess. Immerse yourself in the sound of this dream lineup from 1979, a pivotal moment as the punk rock era began to wane.
