    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.

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.

    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.

      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...

      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.

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.

    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.

      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:)

      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.

    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 .

      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
