The White Stripes

live sound by Matthew Kettle

mixed and mastered by Bill Skibbe at Third Man Mastering

"For a band that never used a setlist, there’s an almost clinical precision to the setlist here. A proper kicking out of the jams, one after another. From the rush of “Let’s Shake Hands” into “Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground”, to that transition at the end of “I Think I Smell a Rat”, with the final chord hanging there for a second before slingshotting into “Black Math.” The set is loaded with tight run-throughs. “Love Sick”, “Death Letter” – “Grinning In Your Face”, “The Hardest Button to Button”, “We’re Going to Be Friends”, “Ball And Biscuit”. An almost “greatest hits” set for the Elephant tour right down to the closer of “Seven Nation Army” (“Boll Weevil” was skipped for the Japan tour, but would be played on the return visit in 2006)." Read more about this show on our blog here.
