First I'll give ya the details from the Easy Action website:
The complete performances by two of the world’s best and most
renowned rock n roll bands captured on film using a 5 camera shoot and
‘surround sound’ performing in front of one audience. Shows like this
rarely happen in rock n roll history but we caught this one and this is
the documentative evidence of one the most explosive rock n roll gigs to
be seen in decades!
Over two and a half hours of none stop premiere rock n roll
The legendary MC5 Davis Kramer Thompson played their final ever show in July 2011with the Stooges this being the only show they have done since this concert. Primal Scream have their profile higher now than it has been for ten years with the re issue and world tour of their seminal album “Screamadelica”!
The set list is pulsating with classic rock tracks such as ‘ Ramblin’ Rose’, ‘ Kick out the Jams’, ‘Looking at You’ , ‘Movin on up’ , ‘Accelerator’ , ‘Rocks’ ‘Sister Anne’, ‘Shoot Speed Kill Light ‘ and the encore sees BOTH bands on stage together for half an hour with guest and former MC5 manager John Sinclair. Handling lead vocals for the MC5 on this night was William Duvall ( Alice in Chains)
The Special package includes a 2xCD set of the complete show, plus a substantial booklet featuring photos from the concert and extensive liner notes by Primal Scream confidante Kris Needs including interviews with Bobby Gillespie and Mike Davis. This will also be housed in a de luxe package of 3 gatefold card sleeves with the booklet inside a specially designed box
The cover artwork is a painting by the late and very great and hugely missed MC5 bassist Mike Davis based on a sketch that was done whilst on the road in the sixties then redone exclusively for this release.

Massive Attack organized the 2008 Meltdown Festival and was able to bring Primal Scream (huge MC5-heads) and the Davis/Kramer/Thompson version of the 5 (DKT/MC5), who both put on blistering sets, culminating in a final 4 songs with both bands playing each others' songs together. Sure, Kramer's voice is a bit tired, but his guitar sure ain't! And how do you replace Rob Tyner? Well, you don't...but you do get Alice In Chains singer William DuVall who does a fine job. Actually, he sounds like Tyner with a little less vocal range. He puts everything he has into the performance and by the time the show is over (as evident on the DVD) he is completely spent.
