Rare footage of The White Stripes

[2424scout1]

Does anyone know the name of the song that jack is singing backstage while he is getting his throat right?

[IAmHitGirl94]

God gifted Jack White.

Seriously.

[whitem00n333]

you're killing me... please share the rest of it..

[PalermosTinyKeys]

yea, you gotta upload the whole file somewhere, for us candy cane children

[ILIVEINTHELITTLEROOM]

They broke up, it's time to upload it.

[UnderTheRaiin]

@ILIVEINTHELITTLEROOM Agreed.

[Jack00White]

@ILIVEINTHELITTLEROOM yep.

[Spagneti]

please upload the full file somewhere. i beg of you.

[UnderTheRaiin]

i think its funny how some people have commented saying that "now its not rare". Rare doesnt always mean unkown guys, it also means that its scarce and hard to obtain, which, unfortunaly, is the case of this DVD.

[DimebagsLeftToe]

@UnderTheRaiin i think their point is that the actual footage of the dvd is not hard to obtain anymore, its up on youtube. but its only 7 mins of it so true

[UnderTheRaiin]

i wish there was more footage of jack singing folk singer.

i've listened more to this video's 45 seconds than the original folk singer song.

[irongiant333]

@UnderTheRaiin there is. look up the KCRW sessions and he covers brendon bensons song.

[UnderTheRaiin]

@irongiant333 indeed there is! thanks so much :D

[delonge5000]

now it's not rare

[crc1188]

Ive looked for this dvd and cant find it. Does anyone know of a place to get it?

[UnderTheRaiin]

@crc1188 i've seen in random forums and somewhere in these videos comments that the dvd is VERY rare, meaning you need to know the "right people" to get it and you cant just download it online (believe me, i've searched) because there are serious legal complications seeing as its banned.

[RedPepaZA]

this is awesome. Jack is fucking tops!

[may301985]

THE WHITE STRIPES ROCK THEYSAVED MUSIC NOW ITS ALL GONE TO SHIT With all kinds of wannabe hardcore heavy bands thatr emo and look like dumb fags on tv or stage THE WHITE STRIPES Have style rythm They HAVE A SEVEN NATION ARMY

[zep123dmc]

i've been downloading that white stripes audio bootlegs, and the 'you're pretty good looking (for a girl)' part in this where he stops playing and does it acapella, is from the 4/8/02 Bowery Ballroom in New York. His seemed to be losing his voice during this show (prob from playing so much shows in 01 and 02)

[Mecas92]

2.09 whats the name of the song??

[hsp882]

him singing brendan benson folk singer, awesome

[cornyking1992]

i hate to ask but is there a way you could be so kind as to send me this movie 

[thebighishere]

did you do that?!... you sure you didnt do that?!.... if i catch you doin it!

[steven8807]

I love the lo-fi effect on this man...

[simonfree22]

how do you get the dvd?

[hk2039]

Do you acess to the "Nobody Knows How To Talk To Children" DVD?

Omg I want this movie SOOOOOOOO bad

[hk2039]

Is there an HD verison of this video

geez!

[RSLZaero]

Lol 3:13 there're signing "folk singer" by Brendan

[2010nariko]

SWEEEEET!!!!!!!!

[procrastinatingjmi15]

I beg you to post more of this dvd! I love the WS and this glimpse behind the curtain is too delicious!

[5sagen5]

Love his voice when hes singing Pretty good looking for a girl AMAZING!

[MrRigRar]

I like the white stripes. I wish the audio quality were better though, because this sounds terrible. They started playing Fell In Love With A Girl and I could scarcely even tell they did.

[TheVoyeure]

not so rare now

[jcgamer107]

He's being Tom Morrello @ the beginning ;P

[GeorgeskoorB]

i watch this every week.

[UTpacman]

3:26 what song

[MrStripedwhite]

@UTpacman folksinger by brendan benson.... tune!!

[LillyCandyCane]

Everyone wants this dvd, but you cant get it!!! :(

[thebighishere]

whyyyyyyyyy notttttttttttttttt

[LillyCandyCane]

the white stripes didnt want this footage leaked unfortunately (its in the sidenotes of this video). Not like anyone would think any worse of them for anything they said because we love them, but that's just the way it is i suppose :(

[whitestripesaholic]

that story about the priest in his dream is badddd asssssssss. I like

[LillyCandyCane]

definitely. It's awesome :)

[DeathxLetter]

Sure you can. If you know the right person.

[LillyCandyCane]

Yeah, well obviously :P You can get anything if you know in the right person. Usually though, you also have to live in the right country... which seems to be much of my problem :P

[LoganPetitto]

what song is he singing at 3:25 ??

[whitestripesaholic]

he is singingfolk singer by brendan benson..

[ALaughingPitty]

plzzzzzzzzzz some1 get this on torrent or something!

[ILIVEINTHELITTLEROOM]

you need to torrent this, or put it on megaupload, srsly

[0mgshoes]

i am officially in love with jack white. the end.

[icemanbasina08]

lovely, raw is best!

[Michaelridesabike]

This is so raw. It IS the white stripes. I must have this.

[candycanegirl100]

wow i realy realy want a copy of this dvd like realy

[TheRedWhiteBlues]

how sweet he moves without his guitar on 6:20 right?

[elchillito]

I think this is one of the only videos we see him with his Dipinto Mach IV

[flagooganhymer]

If its not available in stores, how did you get it? their little club on the website??

[Annie805]

why did they ban this?

[wsfan6333]

Why did they stop playing aroung 5:30? Did Meg mess up or was the guitar unplugged?

[brilleaben]

They're also singing his song 'Folk Singer' at 3:20

[chucklehead12]

does anyone know what song jack is singing backstage around 3:13?

[Karher22]

Yes! Its a song called "Folk Singer" by Brendan Benson. He had a solo career prior to becoming a Raconteur. This song is off of an album called "Lapalco".

[Pandemonium44]

DinosaurSoda I'll buy your copy for 1 million dollars! Nah, just kiddin' but I really want to see the whole thing.

[cosmicgirlndc]

The Stripes own the rights to this footage, so it had to be them. And really I don't blame them. Even though we love watching this stuff, the quality of it isn't really up to the Stripes' standards when you think about it. Sure would be nice to see the whole thing, though - I can't lie! lol

[thatotherguy94]

who banned it and why?

D:

[LillyCandyCane]

Damn I wish they would lift the ban, i so badly want this dvd!!!!

How the hell am I supposed to get it though?? Sigh.

I'm sure most would love them no matter what dumb stuff they say when drunk or w/e else went on :(

[gryphmeg2]

I can see why the band banned this

[moonking192020]

i love it when his singing "pretty good lookingfor a girl" so funny

[Densaar]

You should put the whole dvd on usenet.

Great vid.

[childrenofmaiden25]

at first jesus jack u luk high

[bacara50]

what song is that at 4:40?

[tremeloblues]

st. james infirmary blues

[bma1986]

The song is called "St. James Infirmary Blues". It's off of their first album. Good stuff.

[bacara50]

jack is a modern guitar genious

[MillerTimeMonkey]

woo!

at 3:13, Jack and somebody else, maybe Brendan, are singing folk singer. that's so awsome.

[ScyYoung]

Your a hater. Hes one of the best guitar players of our genoration. He gets a bigger sound out of 2 people than most bands get with4 or 5. His songs are wonderfully written, he dosent use computers to cover up mistakes in mixing. Your comments forgetful at best.

[caissy38]

@ScyYoung yes your so right! not that you need to know this! as far as I'm concerned, the white stripes saved rock & roll. cheers brother!

[zoccerkid]

hummmmmmmmm

[mitzi303]

special

[derrikdavid]

I like the White Stripes.

[SugarlessCancerous]

"You mean continue with the gargling? No. Its disgusting, it makes me want to throw up." XD I think its the matter-of-fact way he says that line that makes it funny.

[bosoxboy3]

likewise.

i would love to have a copy

[opiateguy]

if anyone owns this dvd please send me a message

[xxxxNhojxxxx]

" It's not green ! D: " xD

[juniosonga333]

looks kinda grey :D

[frockon3]

jack always looks like he is on drugs cause he probly is!!! whoo hoo rock on man

[FantasyTestDrive]

nah i doubt hes on drugs he doesnt seem into that kind of thing but still hes rock n roll enough to not have to do drugs

[weeezmcgeeez]

he probably does though

[FantasyTestDrive]

maybe recreational

very doubtful hes an addict or something he doesnt look like one lol

[takashi2000]

Who the hell knows XD

Maybe he does maybe he doesnt, its usually hard to say if someone does drugs or not (as long as they're not like an addict, cause you can usually tell with addicts)

[tripleb88]

I love how he is singin Bendan Benson!!!

[Albertete]

I was about to say that!!! Folk Singer... what a song :D

[chelootzuny]

Man really now is Meg his sister or his ex wife ?because i did find out that she actually is his ex wife they show a marriage document and a divorce one between Meg and Jack.....So?what is it?

[sboarder7778]

she is his ex but they say they are brother and sister so the press wont bother them

[saodmv]

how come jack always looks line hes on coke?

[gentry738]

what the hell is jack doin at 4:27....lol

[FantasyTestDrive]

praying i think

[iluvjackwhitemost]

his solo makes me think of morellos guitar battle 4 GH3....but don'tcha think jack should be on gh3? LOVE ITT!!!

[sergei448]

wow that is weard

[blondexrocker]

Dude. Really. Could you please load all of the footage? I really NEED to see the rest of this footage.

If not, could you send it to me?

[iluvjackwhitemost]

so you bought this off ebay? wow...subbing!

[greekmama73]

Please, Please, Please tell me where you found this!!! I must have a copy.

[theappraised]

About a year ago the whole thing was on YouTube but it was taken down. I think you should still upload it all because it is quite awesome.

[turkish3helmet]

Thank you DinosaurSoda, for putting this up! Sometimes I think I like The White Stripes a bit *too* much haha. I don't think I would ever buy a DVD that they didn't want anybody to see. But I would certainly watch bits of it on YouTube! haha

*subscribes to Dinosaursoda*

[emomufin69]

"available in stores everywhere this is very rare"

[greekmama73]

More! More!

[LesTomGoldTop]

this is a brendan benson song that jack sings in this video, from lapalco (: (:

[kilt]

it's "folk singer" such a nice song.

[HoorayTV21]

Why don't you upload the whole thing to Demonoid or some other BitTorrent site? I'd love to see the whole thing.

[DinosaurSoda]

I don't have a demonoid account :(

also I don't know how to do that, and I think they'd just take it down.

[windrix1]

@HoorayTV21 I mean he makes it clear why he can't upload the entire thing in the description. It's sad, you should sharpen your observant skills.

[HoorayTV21]

@windrix1 Hey, asshole, demonoid is beyond control, there is no taking it down. Thats why he should upload it there. You should perhaps read what i wrote to begin with. asshole.

[HoorayTV21]

@HoorayTV21 Also, this isn't parody or some other fair use example, this would be listed under, RIPE FOR REMOVAL! But as you can see this has been on here for years so.........

[MillerTimeMonkey]

ha. Jack is singing Folksinger, with Brendan

[AirHendrix91]

Man, that must blow to not go that high as he wanted to vocally.

Did I not get what was going on or was he struggling to sing so he had to gargle water?

He's still the man though to me :D.

[krysianka]

I thought Jack was going to have an Axl Rose moment when he stopped playing.

[emilythe11emo]

bull shit where you get the vid tell me your secrets dont lie. tell postoolio. if you dont watch invader zim you dont know postoolio but tell me where you got it i'll keep it a secret.if you want? is it really that rare

[DinosaurSoda]

yes, it really is that rare, look at the links I've provided, the only place it was publicly shown was at a music festival and i believe there is only a few VHS versions of this around, i got mine through knowing people with the VHS who put it onto their computer and made a dvd out of it.

[hk2039]

Hi @DinosaurSoda

I would really love to own this DVD.

Is there a way you could me the information on how you got your copy of the movie.

[hk2039]

@DinosaurSoda I will pay you to make me a copy of this movie.

[pixiegamine]

Honestly, thank you SO much for posting this! I saw the Rac's last week in concert and compared with the White Stripes..Well you can't make a comparison..Jack and Meg are the best..(This makes me miss Meg a lot though..:( )

[DinosaurSoda]

don't worry pixiegamine, i haven't been able to keep up on the news a lot, but from what I've heard, she'll be back, album due out in 2009, and shes starting to get the confidence to go back out in front of big crowds :)

[decorum333]

due in 09? i hope so. :]

[whitestripesguitar]

OMG!!!! album in 2009. i feel complete again. the white stripes are my favorite band ever. i hope something doesn't pop up to hinder thier progress. when i heard they might never tour again i was sooo sad. they're an amazing live act.

[zeikoru]

thats exactly how i felt!

[ItsTheErinShow]

Jack White is possessed by music!!!

[mccabicusmaximus]

oh my!

3:13- he's singing folk singer by brendan benson!

he plays that at kcrw!

nice.

[napalmtube]

this reminds me of "eat the document" the Dylan flick

[LetsMakeFilms]

i love love love the ending. the breakdown of you're pretty good looking. still another reason why i think there shows are the best. each one is has its own personality and originalty

[zeppelin72189]

i declare

freaking make a torrent of this rare dvd dammit!!

we neeedd iiiitttt

ahhh11!!one!!!1!

[nemesisnight08]

aww..cool!

[PlastiqueQueen]

i started crying cause it was like being with them....i know kinda silly but on stage they seem to be from a different world.......

[jennfoster]

i know exactly what you mean!

however, when i saw them live i cried then, too.

lol

they're amazing

[jackwhitefanatic]

goooosh.. this video is wicked old..

i wish i found out about the white stripes earlier.. i LOVE them now

[anotherdumfan]

The fact that they have never done a concert with a set list just blows me away! He just goes off of what the crowd is liking and the vibe and thats how he picks the next song. HOT.

[Beachmaiden]

totally hot. figures.. he's such an artist.

[kaisserriesenrad]

they're big original... I like them mush!!

[wallace1399]

What happened to make them stop playing "pretty good lookin"? Did Meg mess up or the guitar come unplugged?

[rogue3838]

I have a hard time believing the stripes don't want this leaked...especially when it has a title.

[DinosaurSoda]

just google it and youll see :)

This banned piece of film history had a brief life at the Sundance film festival of 2002 before officials at the White Stripes demanded director George Rocca stop showing it as the band did not give their permission to his showing of the film. Since then very few copies exist and not even on ebay could one pick up a copy.

[EcoliCows]

It was the Seattle Film Festival. Thankfullly, I'm one of the few who got to see it on the big screen. There were only 20 people or so there. I still have my ticket stub :D

[AlexanderTheIII]

why are you so cruel and dangling this in front of us?

it is appreciated that you did upload this though, but it still kills me.

[eydrien]

i'm sure it has more to do with any drunk scenes, it looks like it was shot by a shitty film student.

[LedGuitar222]

oh and 5:13 on is definately in my list of the 10 most rock n roll live moments ever

[LedGuitar222]

im sick of the cryptic comments; who made this video and why was he not in jack white's "good books"??

[DinosaurSoda]

Basically, the person who made this released it without the bands permission and the band really doesn't like the dvds as a whole, im guessing because of the drunk scenes and being of bad quality.

[mastershake9688]

I have a question on a song that Jack is singing at the 0:32 mark. It sounds like "I can tell everyone or I can tell anyone or I can't tell anymore."

I've looked everywhere for setlists and I could only find them for two nights they played at the Bowery Ballroom. I looked up the lyrics to all the cover songs from them and none of them matched.

I was hoping you could tell me what the song is if you possibly knew since you're one of the only people who actually owns a copy of the movie!

[DinosaurSoda]

are you sure its at 0:32?

on mine jack is speaking then :/

[oblique65]

dinosaaur soda rawks

thanks for the whtiestripes vids!!!!!!*

[bennyboy40]

was jack white singing one of brendan benson's songs backstage? im sure he was

[ncbrosig]

yeah, folksinger

[rykowolf]

clearly it took some effort to produce this film. It's a shame it's been banned. One can't expect to see this sort of footage on their official Live DVDs.

BTW, has the 10th anniversary DVD been shelved?

[MoonchildMindaugasRo]

awesome :D

[TheFixMovie]

this is cut worse than the actual movie

[colemckelvie]

so if u don't wanna leak the DVD, then why leak this part? to tease everyone?

[DinosaurSoda]

of course :P

[colemckelvie]

well it's cool footage, but now i wanna see that dvd, so i guess yer evil plan worked

[emilythestrangest123]

when is this so called new white stripes video coming out

[DinosaurSoda]

... which?

do you mean new DVD? no date has been confirmed.

[thekillers1293]

wait what NEW WHITE STRIPES DVD???????

[gotix]

Did Jack really get angry or were they just playing around? haha, thanks for this. I envy you and your DVD...

[bluessweetheart]

Thank you so much, that was wonderful. I use to be the biggest White Stripes fan, at 14-yrs-old I would of done anything just to touch Jack. You brought back memories and rekindled some old feelings : )

[DinosaurSoda]

wouldn't we all :P hahah.

[julesmorton]

did jack white seriously go crazy at meg on stage!?!?!

xx

[theflyingdutchmanxD]

dinosaur soda you must bee the biggest fan of the white stripes on youtube ;]

[funnyguy724]

Bless my neck.

Fantastic. hahahah

[batman6458]

you should rip the whole thing and put it on pirate bay or isohunt

[DinosaurSoda]

and risk being sued?

[DinosaurSoda]

yep

[Parker731]

was this gona be a live dvd they didnt release?

[bertie801]

wow ive never seen this before! and im a huge fan! when was this made?

[DinosaurSoda]

april 2002

[lottieloube]

who got married ??

[DinosaurSoda]

jack and meg.

[Evaleintje]

What kind of guitar does he got there? Looks like a dipinto Mach IV. I diden't know he plays with those guitars...

Anyway,... Cool rare stuff :)
