The White Stripes

In November 2005, during the recording for “From the Basement,” The White Stripes were promoting their fifth studio album, “Get Behind Me Satan,” which had been released earlier that year, in June. This album marked a significant shift in the band's sound, incorporating diverse influences and a broader range of instrumentation, moving away from their earlier garage rock style. The performance features tracks from this album, showcasing Jack White's unique guitar work and Meg White's minimalist drumming. Interestingly, this session was part of a new series of live performances where artists would play in an intimate setting, offering a raw and unfiltered look at their music. The White Stripes' appearance was pivotal, as it coincided with their growing appeal and critical acclaim, solidifying their status as influential figures in the early 2000s rock revival.
