(no subject)
I saw the White Stripes tonight.
They were, seriously, one of the best live acts I've ever witnessed. Jack White completely commands the stage, no matter what he is playing (and he played many things, ranging from an assortment of guitars to an assortment of pianos and keyboards to a marimba).
Start time: 8:41
End time: 10:11
Blue Orchid
Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground
Black Math
Passive Manipulation
I Think I Smell a Rat riff > Screwdriver (1st verse) > ITISAR > Instinct Blues >ITISAR riff again
My Doorbell
Red Rain > Death Letter
Hotel Yorba
Five String Serenade (Arthur Lee cover)
Screwdriver riff > Fell in Love With a Girl (1st half fast, 2nd half slow)
Cannon
The Nurse
Ball and Biscuit
The Big Three Killed My Baby (on piano)
As Ugly As I Seem
Sugar Never Tasted So Good
I'm Finding It Harder To Be a Gentleman
Walking With a Ghost (Tegan And Sara cover)
I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself
Encore:
I'm Lonely But I Ain't That Lonely Yet
Let's Shake Hands
Baby Blue
The Hardest Button To Button
When I Hear My Name
Man (Yeah Yeah Yeahs cover)
Seven Nation Army
Boll Weevil
Now, I only own De Stijl (which they played no songs off of), White Blood Cells (five songs) and Elephant (six songs), so there was a significant portion of this set where I was completely in the dark. I think I need to go get their self-titled album and their new one, Get Behind Me Satan, so I can be fully educated.
But man, what a great band. The White Stripes didn't just make music tonight -- they made art.
