Worked late yesterday and then made it out with a few friends to catch the White Stripes (a bit of a surprise, really!) on their cross canada tour. Just an amazing show. This was my first show, but I know their catalog well and especially enjoyed “I’m Slowly Turning Into You” and “Ball and Biscuit” — tunes in which Jack White melted some faces. After that, the crowd tried to sing along to their cover of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene”, but couldn’t keep up.
The setlist was awesome — but only included two or three tunes off of the new album. They played “Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground”, “In the Cold, Cold Night” (with Jack’s ’sisiter’ Meg on vocals), “We’re Going to be Friends”, “My Doorbell”, “Fell in Love With a Girl”, and Seven Nation Army — which they closed the show with.
From the new album, the “Icky Thump” and “Effect and Cause” where outstanding.
Anyway — if you have a chance to catch them in Montreal tonight, do it! They won’t disappoint.
