[Sumen91]

[hihikelkel]

@Sumen91 It's not like you can hear the damn comments.

[TheScifiFanForever]

Oh man, at some point his voice sounded exactly like a blues harmonica!!!! WOWEEE!!!!

[Svenhartley]

Fucking slag writhing roud in front of Jack

[stevoe1000]

@Svenhartley why is she a slag..... what's your point

[avedic]

easily my favorite WS live video ever

[jtoatoktoe]

Goodbye White Stripes...it was a good run. 

[papachubb]

What's with everyone hating on the girl to the side? Shes just feeling the music, moving because it feels right. Shes having a good time and isnt letting the judgement of others deter her from having a good time..... If you go to a show like this and dont move because of the fear of peoples judgment on you," than may god have mercy on your souls, for not even knowing how to move your head at a rock and roll show," you hipsters! And true fans know where Jack stands on hipsters!

[ReggaeMusic3]

@papachubb u must watch alot of white stripes concerts

[spudvader86]

@papachubb That is such a hipsters comment lol

[xSobhan]

i would have jizzed, why are they all quiet and shit!!!??

[yoch3]

undoubtedly one of the greatest rock blues guitar videos in the world. Thank you so much. All of us who sat in the coffee shop in high school and listened to Cadillac Assembly Line by Albert King and were Jimmy Page fanatics (you know who you are) - we can all appreciate this like you sent us a great big shiny present.

[moloko89]

lol people complaining about people not getting "insane" and people who dance (like the girl) anything else you want to complain about?

[575gtcFerrari]

wuz this during their Canadian tour??

[picanu]

This guy farts rock'n'roll all over the place... Yeeaaahhh.....!

[xxxxNhojxxxx]

the girl on the left is the most amazing person ever in any audience xD

[putdownan8dude]

@xxxxNhojxxxx no shes really not, but thats ok. :)

[richardexplosion]

@xxxxNhojxxxx She's just doing what everyone should be doing.

[janie19]

how amazing would it be so see the white stripes show up unexpectedly to play in one of your school portables. lucky canadians!

[poptart1239]

what guitar is that?

[Galwanzie]

Fender... Fender Conorado

[starwart2000]

ACTUALLY that's a Crestwood Astral II.

[TheWhatOfficial]

Crestwood Astral II

[IRBucephalus]

@poptart1239

A Crestwood Astral II.

[powchang]

i like how only one person is dancing. if i was there i'd be freaking out!!!

[djisoutfishing]

no doubt me too..

[julburge]

me too!!

[greedyflywilldie]

yeah man, this is freakin crazy.... those kids obviously have no idea who the F*@# are right in front of them. I guarantee you that if that were anywhere near here that building would have not been able to keep its roof on.

[fallingblack]

I love how even tho Jack changed up the song, they were still perfectly synched with each other. I miss those guys. :(

[sassercustomexhaust]

lucky youth center

[blazednamazed]

why are these kids not going insane?

[hodjepodje]

@blazednamazed they're in a youth center...

they shoulda tore the place down

[humanity6fl9]

@blazednamazed -to uncouth

[cottonkrown]

@blazednamazed you'd realize once you were there, that its a small awkward space and it's not really a big deal. Have never seen a band in a small club before they became famous? it's the same thing, no big deal. it's fun, but no big deal. (and yes, I know they were famous at this point)

[RoMan951104]

@blazednamazed i think the kids like hip hop xD

the white stripes must come to my school *.*

okey thats unreal i´m from germany xDDD

[kwokydow2]

WTF is with these kids?! if jack and meg white were in my youth center i would LOSE MY DAMN MIND!

[austinhurtis1]

umm maybe they like real music somethin todays lackn bitch

[kwokydow2]

@austinhurtis1 why do you feel the need to say mean things? does it make you feel good to put people down over the internet? i doubt you would be so rude if you were to here sitting next to me so why do you feel the need to so rude to a complete stranger who has never wronged you, EVER? it makes no sense. i'm quite sure you are a better person than that. and if not, i feel very sorry for you.

[hansTowns]

i know what you mean,,,

but if they were screaming threw the entire song you would say, 'god cant those guys just stfu for a moment?'

[kwokydow2]

@hansTowns yeah, i would punch them in the shirt. jack white is my guitar idol.

[hansTowns]

He should be anybody's guitar idol if you like the guitar...

[kwokydow2]

@hansTowns i agree. he is a modern day hendrix (in his innovation toward music.)

[dillsnufus]

hmm... it's not easy to agree. just cause there's not a lot of jamming. but his sound is definitely different. and in no way bad. but with hendrix sprinkled in. (well i guess any good guitarist does)

[mrwilliwizard]

@hansTowns yea hes F*ckin good at the guitar!!!

[itsabirditsaplane00]

ho in the back is gettin downn!

[AlSpokes]

I can't believe you got the privilege of seeing him for free at a little club like this. Unreal

[negape]

Not a "club" it's a school Portable.

[shimokita2]

@negape: Where the fuck is Bunaby  ?

[shakespear187]

@shimokita2 10 minutes from vancouver, BC

[1algerial1]

@shimokita2

vancouver b.c

[Vogelfrei777]

@negape

Explain.

[Colin2720]

@AlSpokes yeah, I'm sure all kinds of clubs have "youth week" posters hung all throughout their establishments haha

[Wallnut072]

i doubt hes ever used standard tuning

[award]

"Hotel Yorba, Denial Twist, Effect & Cause, Its True That We Love One Another, I Want to Be the Boy to Warm Your Mothers Heart, Take Take Take, Little Ghost, We're Going to Be Friends"

A few of the many White Stripes songs played in standard tuning.

[colemckelvie]

i wanna be the boy to warm your mother's heart is in open E or something

[dirtycoffee22]

little ghost is on a mandolin which uses different tuning

booya

[slutbunwallah]

he is for this song

[slutbunwallah]

this song IS standard tuning ..

[LegoBen]

Icky Thump

[dkman888]

this song makes elephant best stripes album for guitar work because the solo is fucking insane in this

[AtomicUprising]

whos that girlk in red and blk dancing in the back

[SavantSvant]

somebody diggin it proberbly! shame there's not more of em!

[tacStar253]

what a cool band for playing a secret show at a youth center. makes me like them even more

[FenderMan88888888]

i was at their concert later that day, it was amazing

they were late though, i guess this was why :D

[skooleskool]

i love how he fits tuning his guitar in with the song somehow

[bbjboi]

does Jack workout look at them ArMs!

[tremeloblues]

meg is awesome!!

jack was blessed with her!!

[gwen2814]

sounds like open g... i am probably wrong tho

[IIItrev]

Its not an open g.. he tunes as he plays a song ;]

[LillyCandyCane]

awesome.

look at those arms.

muscles of atlas!

[clint1663]

holy out of tune...

[reachfurther23]

nope

[OzzieMSU]

From what I will guess that is his wife. Red hair, Model like body, and outfit to match the band... I also heard she dances at some shows... odd.. but hey who cares. Jack has SICK blues!

[Skeneyedcockeykent]

Yeah she dances like Tina Turner 2

[spadesghost]

well hell, so she dances a tad differently, she held jacks attention, so screwit, more power to her and i hope she enjoyed the experience

[bazziz]

omg you lucky fucks.

id give my life to be that close

[duty22]

lol.. YUP! Same here....

[GuitarnPiano]

that makes three of us...

[gladi8or59]

haha that chick reminds me of seaweed getting tossed about in the water

[littleroom333]

this is awesome! It reminds me of what it might be when Jack and Meg just get into a studio and jam together. It's very off the cuff.

[Pwonts94]

holy shit jack white is GOD

[favianutube]

that girl in the background is annoying

[NORADYNE]

Who else is he gonna get to do the drumming? J/K That chick dances really weird.

[favianutube]

yeah she is, uhh how do you say? ah yes, horrendous

[sexyrockerlisa]

she dances like shes an axl rose wannabe haha

[flabmamma]

lovin the hip social worker getin on down in the background lol, even went to the trouble of wearin red bless er lol

[betaBoomer]

what the hell....you either need to be in another country or a kid to see a special show.....i've got some work to do

[whitestripesguitar]

y cant they do this at my youth center? im going to cry myself to sleep tonight.

[teddybearboy74]

He is one of the only guitarists i know that when he plays the guitar is part of him and not something that he is strumming the hell out of

[bluesugarmonkeys]

You don't know much about guitarists then!

[LaPerroCaliente]

how artistic........

[llorencaguiar]

dude that is so true. Good for you to point that out.

[claytoncoyne]

lmfao the little dance he does like four minutes in killed me.

[iluvjackwhitemost]

Ok the lighting at the begining ma have me confused (which that's probaly rite), but doesnt it look like meg has Paiste Black Alphas(drummers)?? this is amazing no fair how the kids got a secret show

[loserkid19pe]

a little bit of (the main riff)zep's the lemong song... great song. great band (the best since nirvana)

[zebraboy777]

Yeah!! That's some groovy shit!!

[WonderLure42]

I just dig it when Jack needs to tune after they've started the song. I think maybe it reminds me of when you go to see a small local live band--they usually need to do that kind of stuff during a show, so it seems more 'real' I suppose when Jack's guitar falls out of tune and needs an adjustment.

[littleroom333]

Why is there a girl full on dancing in the corner? LOL!

[EdwardoLover]

I saw that I was like....uhhhhh?

[M3T4LH34D812]

Oops, I musta took a left back at the  portal, this is like, 1969ish...

[dancingjanitor]

Meg plays what's necessary.

[jonomir]

hahah

it's called tuning before you play, jack

[Yamaha0293]

the drum beats are soupposed to be simple you dumb sack of shit

[Member9999]

ur stupid, so sad xP

fucking idiot xP

you cant understand this stupid guy! but i explain...

hard doesnt mean good

easy doesnt mean bad

for 26 years old you kinda retarded... get a life loser grow up

fatass

[joelkingofslugs]

kurt cobain was a crap guitarist yet still he managed to write one of the best songs ever written. technique doesnt mean shit. even tho steva vai can go 100miles per hour, jimi hendrix is still better. music is about feeling not technique. i do agree that her drum beats are simple. but they are rock n roll, not jazz funk. just my humble opinion

[BubbaFart]

Amen, brothah...

[BubbaFart]

For all the music you list on your site you know ABSOLUTELY nothing about music...You don't have to fill the space with a 1000 drum beats or a 1000 cymbal crashes to be good....just you don't have to shred a 1000 notes a minute on the guitar to be good. You should change your name to "Bozo1x7".

[Bonzo1x7]

LMAO! dumbass. I know more about music then you. The only reason Meg White is famous is because of Jack whites genius. How dare you insult me in such a manner, when you don't know me at all.

You judge me by what you read. And that makes you foolish. Meg white is a drummer. A below average drummer. If you were to place her in a room and ask her to play along with Stanton moore, Steve Jordan and the others..she would be clueless

[BubbaFart]

Come on. Like I said put up or shut up. Post a video of you playing drums and show us all what good drumming is.

[BubbaFart]

No, Bozo1x7, I judge you by what you write and what you write, or attempt to write, is retarded.

[Bonzo1x7]

AND WHERE?!?!?!WHERE?!?!?! WHERE?!?!?! does it say that I listen to heavy metal...Crash bang music? WHERE? are u blind? can U read? I Listen to the old...Good days music. DUMBASS. LOL U assume that I think drummers are good if they use 100 drumbeats and 1000 cymbal crashes...why don't you LOOK UP the damn names of drummers i've given you and see for yourself IDIOT. STEVE JORDAN? STANTON MOORE? JOHN BONHAM?...

[BubbaFart]

Hey Bozo1x7,

You only show how stupid and ignorant you are the more you write. LOL. The White Stripes is not Heavy Metal. Led Zeppelin, Def Leppard, AC/DC, Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden are Heavy Metal..and, you list them at the very beginning on your channel, you butt crack. Crash bang music to some. If ignorance is bliss you must have one big retarded smile on your face, aka, your butt crack. LOL

[Member9999]

bozo

lots of the best musics in this world are so simple to play... shut up dude... you just being stupid...

[nivek0270]

haha i love it when ppl are called retarded... and its even better when its true... LISTEN UP DICK CHEESE!!!! jack white was once upon a time a drummer (goober and the peas) and then he wanted to start something new (after the upolsterers) and he couldnt very well play the drums and guitar at the same time... so he asked meg (his wife at the time) to play a simple beat and after he heard the simplicity of it he knew he was on to something that everyone was waiting to hear.he was obviously right.

[Yamaha0293]

have you listened to ANY of their interviews??? theres one right here on youtube where jack says that the drum beats ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SIMPLE, THAT"S THE ESSENCE OF THE WHITE STRIPES. look it up, and if you dont like the white strips, then dont listen to them, since you cant understand member9999's concept ;)

[glenjammin45]

its all simple musicians always say keep it simple look at throught the fire and flames by dragonforce prehaps one of the most hardest solos but also the most boring solos, megs simplness is made up by jacks extreme guitar playing so fuck any1 who thinks its crap just cos its simple thats not the point its about just playing music

[BubbaFart]

I'd rather be a smartass than a dumbass like you...

[BubbaFart]

Well...since your hobbies and interests include drums why don't you SHOW every one here what good drumming is and post a video...come on, I CHALLENGE you.

[jonny3gwd25]

he's just scary talented.  terrifying even

[setaa]

jack white ROCKS!

[shakessxx]

niceone well iv used them before

and its not like that

magic

[shakessxx]

how do they get that sound?

anyone noo like amps n stuff?

so raw

[Wooodstock69]

fender twin reverb..

Love and peace

[WonderLure42]

brokenbricksdotcom has an "equipment" page. It mostly centers on their older/usual gear. For these secret shows, though, Jack also used a Sonic 15W Class A amp (you can see it in the Jack the Ripper Arva Flour Mill video). Cheers.

[zeppelin72189]

he uses a silvertone 1485 (amp)

and those things just freaking rock

[melbamarty]

Pure, analog rock n roll! I love it, can't get enough of it!

[BrightLies]

amen

[Erilis000]

lol, i like that girl dancing in the bg. lol

[GuitarnPiano]

God i love those trousers i hope meg get's well soo and the start touring they're so good!! and doing than shows how unique they are

[hgldypgldy]

jack is getting sooo much ass

[tman7373]

lol, so true

[alex61396]

the gal to Meg's right seems to be enjoying herself...shes wearing red so she may be a fan.....damn, i'd be doing a handstand if the Stripes played at my local Y

[tman7373]

this is at a Y?!?! thats soo cool

[alex61396]

actually it was at some youth center where they performed....we dont have any youth centers where i live, so i figured the closest thing was a Y....

[zoso1019]

one of the best performences of this song but such bad sound quality i like the way he almost turns it into a diferent song at the end

[grobolos]

jack white is a big genius

[garicmidknight]

awesome

[babyrakes]

What is up with that retarded chick dancing like she has down syndrome?

[ShaunathanIII]

Because standing there doing nothing is much better. Fuck you.

[LiamTucker]

wat a stupid thing to say

[TheRedStripe]

babyrakes, fuck you.

(stripes are awesome. =)

[max28809]

omg amazing

[Donmrn]

what a band jesus!!!!!!!!

thank god for white stripes!

the only good thing america offer last years in humanity...........

[moonthloon78]

she sure is. haha. love this vid. so cool to see them play some REALLY small places just like the old days.

B

[zephed69]

the solos change every time he plays it I love it

[kendemyx9]

what happened at the beginning???the guitar was out of tune?

[cobainhumbucker]

...thats why he was tuning it

[VUandChips]

Sarcasm, WHAM!

[alex61396]

shes one dancin' Canadian!!!!

[Uprising]

they seem to play a lot of "secret" shows.

[moloko89]

the dancing is too cool! cant stop laughing ...

[marshallmanson]

Look at 4:15 to 4:30... it looks like Jack was looking straight at her dancing too. How cute!

[brewstercraven]

ooooooooooh hes not using his airliner...

the rocket maybe?

[displaygirl]

there is nothing wrong with being shy. meg kicks ass, is wish i could be as strong as she is.

[iamjustcoollikethat]

i wanna know where he gets his red pants

[Goose3mc]

you guys are really great

[ksanramon]

I wish they comeback to Vancouver again and play at a small venue like this. Man, I should have went for this concert. I heard there were a few. Where was this in Deer Lake?

[hazel8500]

Love Love Love

[taxpyers]

All I can say is ... WOW!!

[pissedagain]

man leave this girl alone... if i were there this intimate id be jiving like all fuck as well.. prob like 30ppl there??

[favianhello]

man that dancing woman almost ruined this brillant performance.

you lucky cnadians

[marshallmanson]

I'm sure she apologizes for having a good time and not standing there doing absolutely nothing like all the losers do at concerts.

[janie19]

jack probably appreciated her having fun since he's gotten mad at others for standing still (search jack white on hipsters to see his rant). some people might be shy doesn't make them losers, though getting yelled at by jack might be kind of cool :P

[favianhello]

point well taken

[moloko89]

cant stop laughing when i look at the girl dancing in the front

[megstubetops]

they are very charitable it seems.they play for some old veterns in england,like 70 and 80 yrs old .they recognized some of the hits from yesteryear i bet.the white stripes have a such diverse and old time repertoire .i just love them both.

[MandaK77]

This is practically perfect in EVERY way! YES!! Effing AWESOME! They are sick! SICK!!!!

[JohnTheRevelator3]

that was very different, pretty sweet. when is this from tho??

[negape]

June 24th 215 pm

[dood67]

Whoever saw this show is so lucky!

[SFConcierge]

F'ing Awesome. They better release the official footage of that version one day. Christ! I hope he plays it like that on tour.

[JackWhiteIsGod]

AWESOME
