Jack looks like the final boss you would have to fight at guitar center
Ha!
Lmao 😂 winner comment I’m dead that’s hella funny cuz it’s true 😂😂😂
That would be a very easy boss to defeat.
lmfao >>>>finish him !!!
lol
The chemistry between the two of them is really what makes the magic happen. The way they look at each other and just dial in.
Quantum entanglement
The White Stripes are one of the most interesting rocks bands ever.Jack is so talented.Meg is on as a true performer and talent.Both are legends in my book.Man seeing them perform together would be a dream come true.
@@bugginoutknots5754 not Jada and August style 😂😂😂😂😂
Former husband and wife
@@bugginoutknots5754 you got it
Their ability to be a band after they got divorced has to go down in history. You can see their connection on Little Ghost when they are looking each other in the eyes and smiling singing the song. Such chemistry and were able to keep it going and have that connection straight through the music. Honestly gives me chills. They are the best ever.
You ever hear of a little band called Fleetwood Mac?
@@herc_ules_therealone Fleetwood Mac were a band before Stevie Nicks even joined the group, you realize that, right? When she joined people hated it, they didn't think it was the same band anymore. Looking back now we see Nicks as being synonymous with the band, but they were a huge band for a few years before she joined. All I'm saying though is that they existed before Nicks, and would have existed after, had they not kept it together as they did.
@@imaxdigital7052Of course I knew they were a band before Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham (who was asked to join, but not Stevie. Lindsay later went on to say I'm not joining without Stevie who was his then lover). Your comment is unwarranted, if a little ill-conceived. I was referring to the OC comment and the correlation of the relationships and break ups of Fleetwood Mac. I hope this is a learning experience to you.
@@herc_ules_therealone I was just saying that they wouldn't have fallen apart even if Nicks had left the band. I don't know what you're waffling on about, talking about learning experiences and whatnot. If anyone needs humbling, it's you.
@@imaxdigital7052 Of course you pretend to not know what I mean. The fact that you mentioned being humbled meant you did learn something. Now be a decent human and be on your way. I have no more time for people like you.
The musical connection between these two seems deeply supernatural and connected on a level you just don't see very often.
and they used to be married so there's that
Connection in the pelvic region
PREACH.
Definitely not as ugly as it seems…🎶❤️🔥🎶
I wouldn't call myself a fan of the White Stripes, but I have a real soft spot for them after they played a show in Iqaluit, the capital of Canada's northern Nunavut territory. I can't say with absolute certainty, but I suspect they are the only major label act to have ever played a show there, and it was a big deal for the community. Jack and Meg showed a tremendous amount of respect to the Inuit that live there, both in playing the show and sitting with elders to hear stories of the people. They sure as heck didn't make much money doing a show for 600 people given the cost of getting there.
You gotta love people that are that generous with themselves.
This story is exactly why I love the white stripes and miss them so much
Yea. That Canada tour was AMAZING. HE EVEN PLAYED A cover of the traditional song, CATFISH BLUES, (HENDRIX,GOVT MULE also greatly cover this song) BUT JACK AND MEG, PLAYED THE SONG, ON A BOAT!! LIKE u could still see them from shore, but not hear that well. I'd give ANYTHING to hear the full version of Jack covering CATFISH blues. Warren Haynes in Gov't Mule covered that song...and just ripped on that song. Easily one of the best, guitarists still playing from another generation...
Damn I did not know that!!! My respect for them has grown tenfold after reading that, such a wonderful gesture by the band and their management team. I would like to think that they knew that what they would get in memories from that trip would outdo the type of money they would make playing to 3000 at Carnegie Hall.
When they were in Winnipeg for that tour they got on a city bus with a guitar and tambourine and played music for the riders on the way down to the Forks Market. They then found an old man busking and Jack and Meg played backup while he played lead and sang. So cool.
Under Great White Northern Lights was an EXCELLENT doc about that tour that I now need to re-watch.
It’s incredible that only two people can create that much sound.
Remember when The Black Keys were just two people?
I’m a drummer by trade and for the life of me, I can’t figure out the position Meg uses.
Watch Local H bro :)
@@shuel1643 That was back in the day!
You need to get out more
Kids these days don't five a fuck about music. I love this. I ain't no kid.
the band that opened my ears as a kid. 17 years later I have my own studio and I record every day. Thanks white stripes.
Those fierce looks Meg gives Jack while stomping that kick drum... What an intensity
This kind of energy could never be reproduced by any of Jack's other projects, and to me it's special for that reason
Spot on
I think Boarding House Reach its a return to that energy.
I agree. Whites Stripes Jack is the best Jack.
Faaaaaacts
Each project has their own lil life. There own history. And story i love all the emotions u get in each
Meg is so captivating. Those poses and looks while playing Blue Orchid would melt Antarctica. This is also when her drumming really came into it's own; still ragged af and with the confidence that it still fits TWS like a glove. Man, I miss this band.
Yeh the old goat tryin to look all sultry and shit...
She's an old goat?? Are you 12?
I was thinking the same thing. Well put.
Her confidence and their connection is mesmerizing
Beautiful comment
I’m so glad The White Stripes were a part of my generation. Jack and Meg are a classic duo.
100% chemistry 100% pure 100% original 100% music genius. Best band in last two decades.
When all your riffs are recycled blues licks, I don’t think 100% original applies. They got some good songs though.
rock is 100% recycled blues.. blues is the roots, rest is the fruits@@nohabloemojislosiento4930
Five. Five decades.
"100% original" 😂
Over 20 of their songs are straight-up covers, and their riffs are even less original. Still a great band, but "original" is not the most apt word for them
Most incredible 2 person band ever.
Amen
Black Keys are up there
Royal Blood is not that amazing, but they make a great job too
@@yenohtnA black keys are not just 2 . Go watch them live thru hide some behind speakers . When I seen them a bass player had fun showing he was there popping out from behind . There was about 5 in the band . I've seen the white stripes live always just them 2
@@hplup not that amazing you are crazy bro
The red microphone is really aesthetically pleasing
Everything about its aesthetics is just perfect...
@@DiegoBattini i have no clue how someone can make a rubbery candy cane aesthetic work so well with stripped down distorted blues rock..
I even have a tattoo of that candy, hehe! I love them!
@@DiegoBattini sick. I love that idea
She is sexy af. Never seen her before. Really lateral drumming approach. Superdooperasfuckinhell
Meg is the heartbeat.
It doesn't happen without her.
@ Robert VanDeVeire : what a perfect analogy.
Well said man.😮
She keeps looking at JACK like let's get it on MF.
Spot on...Meg rocks...in her soul.
Her drums are tuned great for this set!
This "Party of Special Things To Do" is one of the best live performances of any song fucking ever. White Stripes are pure rock and roll distilled into human form.
The riff is sooooo fuckin heavy with that octave pedal
I just keep coming back to watch it
just love the chemistry and energy when they performed.
I have reason to believe and am highly confident we are getting a reunion soon. Likely a surprise return at an award show and then an album or SOMETHING along that vibe. Mark my words.
They are both coked out of their gourd in this performance. I doubt a reunion is happening. Jack has said many times that Meg is not keen on the idea of being in the spotlight again and they don't even speak to one another. Have not for a long time.
Her hungry eyes tho..
They were a prefect musical combination.
@@shadcovert1160 that would wicked. Maybe it’s possible what with their greatest hits album coming out.
I don't care what people say, that guy playing guitar's style perfectly compliments Meg White's drums.
Jack White^
Knows the drummers name but not literally the lead singer and guitarist!?
You know who had a good guitarist to compliment their playing?... This British cat named I think Ringo Starr or something like that.
I agree @Lee. I think its intentional. Its also the beauty of music, and what the music says is the real thing. With influences that he attunes to, Jack is a connoisseur of his style. He is a conduit when he plays. Meg's "barebones" style of drumming just further kicks in the attitude. Knocking down your front door type, that's the White Stripes.
Love megs drumming
Meg is an incredible drummer, she has something that other great drummers don't, which is she looks Jack in the eyes and they jam together.
Spot on and I wouldn’t have thought of that 😊
People instantly hate on this type of thing but she was exactly what was needed. People will say that’s demeaning? Or maybe I’m projecting but it’s like the Beatles and Ringo. It’s like who the fuck cares what you’re capable of, are you capable of making this song better? And she did make all the songs better
Having regrets of never seeing these two live, how amazing is it to have an intimite recording like this? Please save this forever. do not delete!
the shot in the second song where meg is over jacks shoulder and they're both in focus is just one of the coolest things i've ever seen
good eye, dude!
Incredible. Agreed.
the hate on Meg was so awful, her drumming and character were always EXACTLY what these songs needed. There were two people in this band and the songs needed both of them.
People hated Meg? I mean, I remember nerdy, male drummers going 'sHE's NOt a ReAL dRumMer!' but by and large I don't remember anyone else getting on her case.
@@GGSpeedruns its just not for u then
@@allrequiredfields I think we found the nerdy guy you were talking about... (S P)
Meg is fascinating. I watch her play and wonder what she's thinking. She's a modern Mona Lisa
@@GGSpeedruns Racontouers , id say thats better no?
I come back to this performance all the time to see what real synergy between a drummer and a guitarist/frontman looks like. Just pure energy pouring out of both of these beautiful human beings.
Same I came back for another listen.
Every time I watch this it's brand new.
This time it's all about Meg. I can't think of another artist who embraces the whole song and contributes so much.
God Bless Meg, she's the best. And Jack never sounded better then when they played together.
Carpenters 😊
I've enjoyed some of the songs from Jack's solo albums, but he hasn't sounded quite right without Meg whenever I hear his newer live stuff. The closest is with Daru on Saturday Night Live--that's the closest any drummer has been to getting to this energy.
She is like a sonic bore straight from one’s ears into the auditory cortex. It so perfectly compliments Jack’s jagged, abrasive riffs. Zero frills, pure intensity. I would kill for a drummer like that. So unfortunate they don’t play together anymore.
Just horrible 👎🥵. , One hit wonders , please stop 🖐️ this was very hard to stomach 😳,
@@MaxG-jk8ty I'm a master guitarist
This duo is the very definition of less is more. They had a visceral power and chemistry that most "full" bands only wish they had. I hope they reunite someday and slay us all again. 🤘
Meg forever. Without Meg there is no White Stripes magic.
She beats his drum.
Meg legit is a percussionist Goddess. She was the foundation of The White Stripes, and doesn't get enough credit.
She's a hack who couldn't play a double stroke roll even if she knew what it was.A total joke to call her a drummer, percussionist or musician.
White stripes music doesn't require anything more then she what she is doing. It all works perfectly
@@KiddosRevenge perfectly terrible
@@JohnBock-nq9lr some are just not fans. I love them. One of my favorites
@@KiddosRevenge I played drums in goober and the peas before Jack, I was their 9th drummer : did the cbgbs gig,the Dylan gig,their first s×sw gig,and was their only REAL drummer....Jack joined shortly after I quit ( their bass player Mike tried to stab me in a psychotic break).... Jack was a good drummer....way better than Meg....
Goober( Dan Miller....he played Luther Perkins in the cash bio pic) Hates talking about me....Mike being his brother....
Jack was a decent drummer.
The only reason he let her play is because he could tell her what to do.
It's all him.
I don’t care how many projects Jack has. This is it for me.
Me too :) his airline is in a museum now :(
@@RIPbob He has a damn airline??
@@daniellerogers1352 hahah yes. It's the red guitar he's playing. It's a cheep 60s guitar made of plastic and it sounds like Godzilla giving birth. It's now behind glass.
@@RIPbob Well the first one he had with the two pickups is in the museum. Jack had two airlines, the first one he had was the one with the two pickups and in about 2003 on tour it was falling apart so a fan reached out to him and gave him the same airline guitar but with the one pickup (the one you see in this video which i'm guessing he still probably has).
@@fraserlindsay8994 thats good to know. It seemed like he lost something vital once he got his later guitars. It was like watching a man fight a guitar. I miss that
19:44 Meg drops one drumstick, proceeds to pick up two more. So badass
And maraca!!
@@davidoverstreet2875 beat me to it..
Never heard of them until this video, man they are talented. Drumming is simple but its perfect in it’s own sense like a heart beat.
…you’ve never heard of the White Stripes before? I find that very hard to believe. 🤔
I saw them at red rocks in 2005. I wasn’t sure that a 2 person group could really do a show at such a venue but they blew the doors off the place. What an amazing show
but there are no doors at red rocks.... lol
There used to be doors
Used to be more rocks too!
Meg's timing and feel in this performance are excellent. Forget how drums are "supposed" to be played and there's no denying she elevates the songs.
there are no rules! music is beautiful for it
Sure , she's the "difference" .
@@wildux8221 Jack made his best music with her.
LOL...I like meg but her timing is all over the place and she rides the living shit out of her cymbals.
It is very ringo-like. Not perfect by metronome but listening to what makes band workj. I think it is so beautiful
best comment during live premiere was "Is this live?" lol, its such good quality and these songs are not overplayed to the point seems like a legit debut of new music for some xD
Man I wish this was live
The sound design and acoustics of this room are one of a kind! Super nice work from the sound engineers.
Not gonna lie, for 5 maybe 10 seconds I thought it might be. 😢
Live as in happening now? This was live in 2005
This question gets asked on literally every CZcams stream/premiere.
the connection between them is scary
just too great
Meg is a very important lady who paved the way for girls taking up drums like never before, not only that she's an awesome drummer
"Paved the way": there's a ton of women ahead of her from the 70s, 80s, & 90s; too many to list, but Sandy West, Sheila E. and frickin Karen Carpenter.
@@clottadams5028 I was going to say exactly the same! Nice words!
if she wasn't with jack, would she be noticed?.. I guess he doesn't like drum machines..
That's bs. She didn't pace a single thing. There were female drummers WAY before her and much better.
And her face is beyond beautiful
One of my favorite performances of all time. That Blue Orchid/Party of Special Things pairing still sounds unreal 15 years later!
Good to see you here, nice taste!
Ditto. Cool to see you here dude
Yeah unreal!, it’s just so sooo good.
It amazing seeing this in nice quality, a real treat!
It's a Captain beefheart's song
Must be this kind of attitude he talked about in the it might get loud movie about the garage band he listened to :P
The musical chemistry between Meg and Jack is incredible!
Yeah man i dont know exactly what it is but it works so well.
utterly fucking love Meg's drumming
this version of "Red Rain" is the single reason why i love the song. dude, they go so hard
You couldn't replace Meg with anybody. It's more than what she is drumming. She is what Flava Flav is to chuck d. She hypes the whole show up.
Not too mention the sex appeal licking her lips and her flirty demeanor
Yep. It's not only what you play, it's how you play it !!
That is a brilliant analogy.
She sucks as drummer? Yes. But that made white stripes and no one could ever replace her
This is probably one of my favorite performances. The energy this gives off with all the songs, and I keep looking at Meg just killing it on the drums and Jack being a great guitarist, singer and songwriter
I love it so much, Jack is an absolute creative genius, Meg is a goddess, they both just go so well with each other. I love The White Stripes, they are eternally iconic and their genius will never be forgotten ❤️🤍🖤
I've always loved that Little Ghost song more than I could explain, and seeing their energy together and the fun of it explains it plenty
Second song I learned to play on my ukulele. Obviously I can't play it like Jack, but I love it still.
Me sitting here hoping this was some sort of reunion performance, then I saw the date in the description... I can still dream.
Same...
Everyone here loves The Stripes and it feels cool to connect with and see people that appreciate and miss them like I do. I still go back and thru all the records from time to time. That line “You think not telling is the same as not lying don’t you?” always got me but when it’s played along with that guitar riff and those thunderous drum beats it’s honestly one of the most pleasing things I’ve ever heard. Thank You Meg. Thank You Jack. You two are appreciated. You two, together, are greatly missed.
Well said!
Bloody hell this is in your face rock n roll. Brilliant
From the first cord it hits you like a proverbial brick in the face. long live rock.
Even more than a White Stripes reunion, I'd just love to see an interview with Meg where she's like, "I'm doing good; just enjoying being out of the spotlight and having a private life."
He said in an interview that she has become very withdrawn
@@ladymidnight80 Kind of you to give him exactly the opposite of what he wanted.🤠
@@jail2634 just pointing out that is unlikely for her to give interviews
@@ladymidnight80 yes I know. Its cool of them to share this Information, i get that. But to me stuff like that is funny. The dude was all hopefull and dreamy and the commentor just fucked it. You know?
@@jail2634 well there's a saying where I come from: "he who lives in hope dies in despair" 🤷♀️
Saw Meg last year at a restaurant where my daughter worked She still looked awesome
Really was her ??...you are so lucky...
In Detroit?
Thank's for knowing us 😊💋
Good. I hope it wasn't during pandemic time when we were all hiding out in our homes in listening to Jack White wondering when we were going to get back out into the world and or get a vaccine or kick ass and take number. So that is good news
This is a straight up amazing, magical performance.
Its so beautiful to see how much fun they had playing together🥰❤️
Wow. I cant believe this recording is almost 16 years old. Right in the nostalgia. Thank you!
No way... my first time hearing it today.
As someone who was too young when they came out and found them later on I truly don't see why Meg would get any hate,. It's so utterly clear that she is such a HUGE HUGE part of the energy of the band and is incredibly good at keeping time and a solid solid drummer who isn't about showing off their ego.
It’s cause she’s really not that good or different or authentic, anyone can play what she plays. I still like the music but it’s fucking easy lmao
@@dylancampbell9448 Music isn’t a f’ing sport or a contest, it’s self-expression. And you’re wrong, no one really sounds like anyone on an instrument no matter how rudimentary because you can’t help sounding different in the context of infinite variations of music. It’s also not as “simple” as you think. You try playing like her. Most drummers are bad and even drummers who are technically proficient are often boring to listen too. There’s something catchy and memorable about her playing that is integral to the sound of the band. do you wan.t. Chemistry is infinitely more important than musicianship.
@@smkxodnwbwkdns8369 it’s not that deep. Her playing is easy that’s why people don’t like her, never said I didn’t like her but nothing about her playing is technically therefor she isn’t that different or good or authentic.
@@dylancampbell9448 What do you mean by her playing not being 'authentic'?
She can at least do what 90% of drummers can’t do…that is keep time in a live performance.
This rendition of blue orchid is the best i have ever heard
The energy and charge Meg puts into playing the drums is unique! His ability to adapt in synergy to jack rhythm changes is unparalleled. Meg is a great drummer 🥁 and I love her ! ❤️
The chemistry between them is unbelievable. love them, and love Meg, I hope she's doing well now
Pretty stoked to see the whole performance. I have watched performances from this gig, but never the entire performance. God bless you, Jack and Meg. This is my era too because I was fortunate enough to see them perform at the Fox Theatre in St. Louis this same year: 2005.
I saw them the same year in Chicago. They were such a good act
I also seen them on this tour, in Serbia in 2005
Same tour for me, November 2005 in Blackpool
@@druscilla1331 nice! I've got the "under blackpool lights " DVD recorded in 2004 I belive
I saw them that same year in Toronto! I was 12. My third concert ever (ironic isn't it? Considering Jack and the number 3).
She hits those drums like she friggin' hates them, I love it.
OMG the way she looks at him with such distain while she plays. It is amazing!
PS the simple but mesmerizing drums beats, the raw guitar it is just Heavan on Earth.
Really? You think she looks at him like he's inferior or unworthy? I thought it was the opposite. I think she had genius creative ability that is paramount to their unique sound but inside felt like she was holding him back because she couldn't do highly technical things that other rock drummers can do.
@@stephenwhite5444 I guess distain wasn't the right word. If she was any better at drums I probably would not like their sound. She didn't need to be highly technical in my opinion.
one of the best things ive witnessed ever, thats two people making magic
I couldn't get it out of my head while watching this: "WHY didn't Jack film B-roll of fans and girls trying to break INTO the space (windows, doors, rooftop) and those spiffy Bodyguards have to fend them off like zombie apocalypse! ?"
I really miss this band. I hope Meg is thriving and happy and enjoying life outside the spotlight. As much as I'd love to see some type of reunion tour, I really just want Meg to be happy. We'll always have the memories
Excellent. Get behind me Satan is a top 5 album of all time, for me. Watching this concert is a blessing. Thank You so much. I love them both!
Meg is a true artist. She is beautifully chaotic. It compliments Jack perfectly. And her drumming sounds good. Jack wouldn't let her play on stage with him if she weren't an awesone musician. Beautiful performance to the great White Stripes.
These two together can't be duplicated (by anyone) until they are back together playing this incredible music.
I hope with all my heart they'll never get back together. This is not supposed to be repeated and spoiled.
@@daniglue It could never be spoiled. It stands with singularity, just as another reunited performance would.
@@daniglue 100 % !!!!!
Well considering Meg is Jacks ex wife and now he’s engaged to another chick, I doubt it’ll ever happen
@@Ajvb219 they were divorced by 2000… jack’s marital status plays no role in the white stripes ending and most likely never reuniting.
Something about the little interaction at 13:44 is just so perfect. I love the way that meg is sympathetic with whoever broke the bell and the way the talk like siblings or an old married couple.
¿Brothers?
it’s cool that they got along that well even tho they were divorced
"We don't use that one anyway, Jack" Oh I miss Meg so much, her and her drumming were so fantastic.
I saw The White stripes at a small venue in Akron Ohio they were by far hands down the best band I've ever seen in concert EVER!!!!! put on a top notch show that I still think about to this day listening to their music.
Meg is my favorite kind of drummer because she's not the person you would expect to be a drummer but that's what makes her perfect.
The little ghost duet always makes me inexplicably happy man lol
It's that smile when they sing "But because of my condition".
I love how meg loses her drum stick at 19:43, still powered on til the end, what a true rocking band man
Not only does she recover perfectly...she picks up TWO sticks AND a Maraca!!!!!!!! RESPECT FOR MEG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@nomanmcshmoo8640 lolol
@@nomanmcshmoo8640 🤣
Damn they are both kicking so much ass on the first song. I love that tone and fuzz effect
I Cant ever get over how fucking immense Jacks guitar tone is. No other guitarist has ever replicated this kind of sound. Simple and raw set ups work the best!
Not to mention, Meg is just such a powerhouse, sitting in the song, with no over crazy fills and just delivers on every performance. She reads Jack so well!
Simple and raw?, he’s using octave pedals and a bunch of other shit 😂😂😂😂
@@BlindingSun_ he is know for not using many pedals in his rig. Premdoniately a whammy pedal and big muff fuzz pedal. Other than that he doesnt use nuch else in terms of "tech."
So therefore its a simple set up, in comparrison to.other artists and guitarists.
@@littlewing90 I’d say an octave pedal is pretty tech as far as guitar sound goes. I wouldn’t use one but he doesn’t have a bassist I guess
Perfection. Awkward, strange, weird perfection. Boy do I miss The White Stripes.
Meg plays from the heart. There are a million drummers out there with more technical facilities on the drum kit but Meg plays with every emotional fiber of her being and that is how it's supposed to be done.
It’s called “aesthetic” jfc
so are you saying those other million drummers don't have a similar emotion? You can compliment one artist without putting down others jsyk :)

She has a unique style that’s catchy and compelling, those cliches about emotion make no sense if you aren’t playing from the heart you are a bad musician period end of story
It took me a while to appreciate her style. But it's unforgettable
Man do their musical feels mix so well.
Legends
I love bands where the other members are seen singing along while playing even though they dont sing,its great. It shows what love they have for their friends and the songs they make
Noticed. Facts.
Husband in this case.
It's always impressive how 2 people could play loud like this. I'm always impressed,really. Thank you.
.if u have seen the doc "it might get loud" with Jack jimmy page and the edge ,Jack talks about exactly that topic..making music with fewest people and instruments he can.,said listening to son house changed his life .......the simplicity being the major way he approached his music.......awesome observation !
How two people rock the way they do is mental 😳 love it
Totally agree. Just perfection
Loooove this band, Meg is HALF the band, she’s perfect!
I’ve been in hospital for 4 months & I’ve had the day from hell; but seeing this made it all ok
hope you are feeling much better! ♥️🤍🖤
that’s the great thing about music it has the power to take your mind and put it a better place.
join my chan surfer rosa
What happened?
*Hope the best health to you*
So they had been divorced for 5 years when this was made, it's remarkable the chemistry that still existed between the two of them. Meg's drumming is amazing, it's her I watch most in this and other vids. I think her drumming is like early Dylan's harmonica playing...lacking technique but full of feeling and passion, so unique & personal...and it works perfectly.
Good comparison
I find the same thing in focusing there but am expectedly distracted therein by an mystifying & hypnotic pendulus/rhythmic physical attribute :)
For sure. My rule of thumb for everything: does it make you wanna rock n roll? Then it's working.
@Djdhjr Mustard to each their own 🤘
Agreed totally….;€
The white stripes was a living, breathing organism that only existed as long as it needed to
Like every six months I find myself back here, in this luscious room being mentally massaged by sound.
I've been a drummer for over 60 years. Megan is absolutely perfect. She plays with feeling and restraint. Screw any naysayers. 😎
In the world today everybody gets criticized if you aren't the 'greatest' something. Every drummer gets compared to about five drummers, every guitarist gets compared to about five guitarists, every singer has to be as good as five performers. Its crazy, I thought social media would go the opposite direction, but maybe the tiktok generation will change that. Ours is too used to record companies choosing a few bands, engineering and producing them to daeth, and thats what all music is compared to. Nobody can just listen and go "thats nice" and be happy with good music, it has to be the greatest thing ever. Certainly thats the impression you get off youtube. Although frankly I wasn't listening hard:)
Meg is, and always will be, one half of the White Stripes.
Yup, she is awesome!
Is her technique good? Not that much
Does it work for what she does? Absolutely
I love how people forget that The White Stripes origin was Garage Rock, a genre that has not real interest about technicalities. Sure Jack White was a prodigy whose technique makes you think "You're overqualified for this job", but he was also a nobody before TWS; he could arguably have stayed as one of the bunch, if it wasn't for Meg. They've inspired each other and they had chemistry, more that we could ask off many other bands.
@@Heigxion Exactly. Thank you. Well observed.
Im so happy I found this. Meg looks divine and she is so into it she’s amazing playing the drums Jack White is a perfectionist and it looks like a lot to be in his presence.
Love me some Stripes. Jack really marches to the beat of his own drum, which is a very rare thing. And he fills the space of three .
Wish this set was on spotify. It's really good!
Blue Orchid, one of my favorite tunes from this gig
Meg White is fucking dope. Ive been playing drums for 15 years and can honestly say her drum tone is perfect. The beats are simple but groove like hell.
It's not always about being perfect. It gives their groove an original, organic purity and all their own sound
I’m only very recently diving into the white stripes and this is the first live performance I’m watching.. the moment Meg started playing at the very beginning, all I could say was “I get it, I completely get it”. They’re on another level, seriously. They’re chemistry and the rawness of it all is just *chefs kiss*
Side note: One of my good friends started drumming ages ago specifically because of Meg and I think that’s so fucking cool
same here!
Thats rocking drum sound. Her playing rocks!
The camera angle with both Jack and Meg in the shot for Forever For Me is amazing. Like its straight out of a 70's movie
They had such great chemistry. They play off each other constantly. Fantastic performance.
I miss them so much ❤🤍🖤
Special band! Incredible sound from two people
Every update that it's in your channel it's a tiny little gift to me. Thank you so much.
The sound these two produced was so powerful
I love how they lean on each other for support the whole show. One of those deals where the sum is greater than the parts.
Essa banda nunca deveria ter acabado!
