In June 2007, The White Stripes were riding a wave of critical acclaim and popularity following the release of their fifth studio album, "Get Behind Me Satan," which came out in 2005. By the time they performed at Bonnaroo, they were recognized as one of the most influential rock bands of the early 2000s, with their hit "Seven Nation Army" becoming an anthem for the era and a staple of their live shows. The Bonnaroo performance marked the culmination of their festival set, showcasing their dynamic sound and Jack White's electric stage presence. Interestingly, this performance took place a few months before they released "Icky Thump" in June 2007, which would go on to win a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album. Their ability to captivate large audiences with raw energy and distinctive style was on full display during this live recording, solidifying their status in rock music history.
