The White Stripes

In January 2003, The White Stripes were experiencing a significant surge in their career, following the release of their third studio album, "White Blood Cells," which came out in July 2001. This album played a crucial role in catapulting them into mainstream success, with hit singles like "Fell in Love with a Girl" garnering widespread acclaim. By the time they performed "Seven Nation Army" on Conan, their distinctive garage rock sound and Jack White's unique guitar riffs were becoming increasingly popular. The performance showcased their raw energy and musicianship, further solidifying their reputation in the rock scene. Interestingly, "Seven Nation Army," the song performed in this live recording, would later appear on their next album, "Elephant," released in April 2003, which would go on to be pivotal in defining their legacy. This performance was not only a showcase of their growing popularity but also a precursor to their massive hit that would dominate the following years.
