I like Jack White and love The White Stripes, but this is the worst live album I've ever heard. The guitar playing has no dynamics, is incredibly boring(especially for someone so off the cuff), it's just fuzzed out and crappy. I'll stick with the few bootlegs I have.
So who as seen this film? I'm going to pick it up today on dvd. I seen them on this tour and they were amazing.
I went to a screening last night here in SF ... it was fantastic ... lots of great footage on and off stage.
BTW, if anyone bought the box set and has one of the Rob Jones silkscreen prints they don't want ... I'd up for purchasing it. Let me know.
I did buy the box set, but still haven't received it yet. If the print isn't anything to my liking, I will let you know. Rob Jones usually does beautiful posters though. Would like him to do some PJ sometime.

Cool, let me know ... I have a ton of PJ posters I'd be willing to trade as well.

Just watched the dvd. Was really impressed for sure. Cool dvd. My only complaint is that they should have made it longer and showed more footage from other places. It seemed all they showed was the Territories and Nova Scotia.

Yes, I was really disappointed in this too. Ball and Biscuit is terrible! I was expecting a 8-10 minute jam-fest and instead it's 2 1/2 minutes long! And the CD is less than an hour. They could have easily crammed a 75 minute album together (no Death Letter?!) Big disappoinment.

Watched the DVD last night. What a great tour idea and all the little free shows were awesome. I like how he said they were trying to play out of the way places were people get few or no shows. I will certainly be sure to catch The White Stripes if they tour again. Like someone said in another thread, a lot of bands could learn a lot of things from Jack White. Think I'll be spending more time in The Little Room from now on.
Received mine yesterday but haven't been able to dive into it yet. Did the print come with it? I read that they might send those out separately. Psyched to check it out and I love the way its put together!

It's packaged in with the vinyl, it's a small print, not a poster sized print.

oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
It's a very beautiful documentary... cannot wait to be able to watch it one night this week when I can blast the speakers a bit with it...
but it was quite poignant at times... especially the end part where i think we saw on camera how much Meg was struggling mentally together with the emotion involved in that song.

Agreed on the shortness of the cd. And severely bummed I didn't get to hear crazy solos Jack does on Ball and Biscuit. The dvd was very cool. Haven't watched the Nova Scotia concert yet. Will probably see if that one gets out on mp3 for sure. I didn't really get my Meg was crying at the end. The song was about Rita Hayworth and she is balling like a little baby. It was endearing, but part of me was thinking, "She still has a thing for Jack, and she knows she can't have him." Just my thoughts. Very cool interviews in there as well.

The mp3 of the NovaScotian show is around. Haven't grabbed it yet but that seems more promising, but Jack really sucks it up on the cd.
Just got my White Stripes - Under Great White Northern Lights box set. All I can say is WOW!!!! The DVD is probably best rock band documentaries I have ever seen! Perhaps a bit biased because of the Canadian content. The Box Set is worth every penny! IMO more bang for buck than the Pearl Jam Box Set although Pearl Jam are my favorite band ever!!! If a fan of The White Stripes I cannot stress enough how much this is a must have!!!!
