The White Stripes

In January 2003, during their performance at the Livid Festival in Sydney, The White Stripes were experiencing a surge in popularity following the release of their critically acclaimed album "White Blood Cells," which came out in 2001. This album had propelled them into the mainstream and is often credited with revitalizing garage rock in the early 2000s. By the time of this concert, they had also released their self-titled debut album in 1999, which had laid the groundwork for their unique sound characterized by a blend of blues, punk, and rock influences. The band was known for their energetic live performances, and this concert exemplified their raw power, showcasing hits like "Fell in Love with a Girl" and "Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground." Interestingly, the duo’s dynamic on stage, driven by Jack White's guitar prowess and Meg White's minimalist drumming, was already becoming legendary, setting the stage for their further successes in the years to follow.
