The White Stripes - Party of Special Things to Do

[ak1nney]

Not Glastonbury 2005.

[wombat8881]

lots of talk about Under Blackpool lights - just to clarify for anyone who may be confused - this video is not from Under Blackpool Lights. I think it's from Glastonbury 2005. This is Get Behind Me Satan era, Under Blackpool Lights was Elephant era

[andyscoot43]

@wombat8881 Definately not Glastonbury, listen to the reverb - not the kind you get at an open air view. Not to mention that it's essentially in a field, the camera angle is all wrong.

the forum in camden 2001/2 best ive ever seen. jack whites a legend

[deatheater459]

captain beefheart <3 i love this

[azmo13]

I've seen em twice and both performances blew Black Pool Lights away. Not that it isn't great, because it is, but it isn't even them at their best.

[purplestain24]

defiantly. i have seen them 5 times, and every time was WAY better then black pool lights. but yet i still can get enough of blacck pool lights

[imafoolhahaha]

Yea, same here *cough* sydney 03 *cough*

[Manusturbo]

Captain Beefheart ! wow! Jack's covering one of their mid-career commercial pieces, more MOR to true Beefheart fans but it's full of energy, let the run paint run run in red white and black, etc / etcOR was a pup

Beefheart is abstract expressionist while the White Stripes are Modernist/ Formalists. White Stripes encapsulates the traditional and Beefheart the avant-garde. The futurist primitivist Doc and the radar station is a MUST listen! Telephone! Telephone!

'Mon the Buckie Thistle FC!

[ghellogm]

I surely appreciate the attempt by White Stripes to let people know a good, almost forgotten, song by Captain Beefheart

[solargesture]

though he butchers it, you're totally right

[cowchaser1319]

if u based their live performances off of this video u shouldnt, this isnt good quality, check out under black pool lights and ull pull ur head out of ur ass

[ItsTheErinShow]

Amen. Under Blackpool Lights is unbelievable. I watch my DVD at least once a week!!!

[goneblogging87]

i cant believe u just said that. really, i hope ur not judging them by this shitty audio.

[messemaeker]

just take a look at Under Blackpool Lights. you will see one of the best live bands at work.

[hancollin]

nah man... the stripes are fucking incredible live, no comparison to the cd, they just fucking shine live

[jkiser1370]

This was in Boston 9/22/05

[three27]

Disappointment ;_;

[flowerpunkchip]

This is truly an awful cover of the great Captain Beefheart "party of things to do" even if the sound quality is bad. Dissapointing. Du vraix caca

[salsburysteakjr]

That Capt. Beefheart Stripes EP with Party and Ashtray Heart & such was actually very very good. Most all Beefheart covers drown in their own hellish vomit, but The Stripes genuinely went for it, came out with something to be proud of. This video's obviously just the product of shit-poor sound.

[lazlow325i]

Oh stop complaing about the stripes. They're a fantastic band.

[zmsquee]

This wasn't very good. They don't play this song live enough for it to be good. I love the studio version much better. Jack can't remember the words!

[DocHou72]

Jack didn't fuck up anything, you just can't hear it very well . . . the studio version the White Stripes did sounds almost exactly like Captain Beefhearts, so idk how that is fucking it up

[FuzzzTone]

leave it to Jack to royally fuck up the Captain....i don't blame Meg though ..I just want video of her naked feet

[comethcometcome]

sounds like mice having a rave in a drain pipe

[kdokeeffe]

you're completely right

[pogopogopogo3]

HAHAHA! it does! i love the ws more than anything could ever love anything, though..

[ZeppelinMcKenna]

LOL the stripes are dope but the recording device cant handle things
