gah...everything about this performance is so soulful. jack is so into the dynamics and laws of music that he can utilize them at will, at any point. even that little decision at the very end to strum the Em chord...after an otherwise ballsy open E blues riffaged song, that E minor sounds like a drink of cool water..
whenever im feeling that state of existential depression...when everything just seems so...pointless and fake and absurd....i listen to the stripes, live more than anything. it's like their music brings me back to earth..their music smells like freshly sharpened #2 pencils, rain on hot pavement, red clay, and the iron taste of blood. it snaps you out of any funk life may throw at you and just brings it all back to what's unpretentious and real. i love them for what they've given the world..

oh man, i love meg's face at 3:21 ...it's like the sheer awesomeness that is jack white soloing, sent ripples back in time that paralyzed meg's face with intensity a mere second before it all hit.
@avedic No, she's actually saying: Goddamn Jack! You're playing like shit today. BTW, I love The White Stripes before somebody calles me a hater or a cocksucker. He didn't sound like he was on his game right here. He's still the badest motherfucker though
@TheFiyahfly The Blackpool Lights version? That is pretty great as well. Both concerts capture the band at their priiime. The Canal concert in France from the Icky Thump tour is equally good as well
*crate amp- rythym channel, turn the gain all the way up, turn down the mid, treble is about 10:00, bass is all the way up and the level is however desired
*Line 6 Uber metal- level however desired, distortion set to "insane", scoop all the way up, gain all the way up, bass all the way up, Mid at about 11:58, treble set to about 11:00...
the thing i love most about the white stripes is that you will never hear them once perform a song the same. jack white is the best guitarist/artist around these days. underrated as well. the white stripes will be around for a very long time
he's so good he gave himself a goddamn erection at the 2:18 mark. i mean, the camera man payed a little too much attention to that area though. fucking amazing sounding song.
I saw them do this live and something went wrong with his mic so he threw the whole mic stand down got up on top of his amp and shredded a solo for what seemed like 10 mins. Amazing
my second fav performance of this song. Where the hell is the ball and biscuit from under black pool lights?? thats my favorite. I cant find that anywhere on youtube..they have all the other performances though.
They are effing genius!! This song is by far my favorite!!! And can we just talk about Jack's pants... god, my eyes are watering. I just want to knock over furniture with someone when I hear this song!!
I love how at 00:16 he makes the tuning sound like part of the song he can make a careless mistake like that sound like he just shaking things up for his own amusement he's a brilliant man
i think you got my comment wrong when i said this song is ther shit i meant i like it. okay all you assholes who gave me a thumbs down the white stripes are amazing. you cocksucker
They're Genre blending, but garage rock was a title given to all the bands that seemed to pop out of their little indie incubators at the same time (Remember The Vines? Also the Strokes and The hives... ) The stripes lasted because they have something real to give.
Nah, its prolly under the blackpool lights you have seen alot, thats an awesome live performance! He wears the same pants(Get the DvD its worth it)...
It's a National Airline, sold by Sears many years ago. Originals cot about 2000, but you can get an Eastwood copy for a few hundred. (BTW those aren't actually humbuckers but singles that look like them...)
Oops my bad, it's not a National. Also interestingly Eastwood lists their clonees as using humbuckers, yet their page on pickups says the originals were singles.
i used to hate this song wene i was younger tehn as i got older and i began apprieciating music more this became one of my favorite songs. i have ADD and wene i was younger i wouldnt be on meds so id be like HOLY CRAP A 7 MINUTE SONG GAAAAAAAY! but now i like love it
also the part where they slow it down, and jack goes over to meg and is playing and plays it like bowm-chika-bowm-chika-bowm like a porno or something. he think his mind was on other things besides music that day
Your such a nerd
