DumDum Boys: I Dødens Dal is a nearly two-hour concert recording from the already legendary concert the band kept under "Uka" in Trondheim in October 2003. A band in great shape performs an unbeatable set in front of 5,000 crazy audience, all captured by 8 cameras. In addition, the DVD includes over 40 minutes of previously unreleased material, including recordings from Dumdums first concert in Oslo in 1986.
