Just read that BECK showed up at the show tonight and played bass on Denial Twist!!!! *dies* HOLY SHIT!!!!!!! :eek: SIGH....you guys are getting fuckin spoiled rotten over there. SHIT! Sounds like a super incredible show!!!!

soundgrunger · August 2005

Alright! It's about time i wrote something about this AMAZING and KICK ASS show, right Lyd

!!!! Aug 8 baby! At the Orpheum Theatre in Vancouver (night 2).

My friend and i had seats in the 10th row Centre Orchestra (the venue is all seating)!! Fuckin INCREDIBLE seats! We had the perfect spot of the stage. The opening band, the Greenhornes, were awesome; my friend and i both loved them! The drummer was hilarious and they played some wicked tunes (i have to remember to get their cd). Then finally, the white stripes took to the stage and ripped right into When I Hear My Name! The place was nuts! The lights were awesome! And i have to add, the stage setup was fuckin beautiful! I commented to my friend about the ws setup crew wearing their black suits, red shirt, top hat outfits--it totally kicked ass (loved it!) and then on stage everything was in red, white and black...wicked glowing white palm trees surrounded the stage and the apple backdrop was the perfect surface from which to illuminate the red 'devilish' lights and atmosphere. Meg's silhouette on the side wall expanded and shifted to complete the satanic setting! It was PERFECT !

The rest of the setlist is as follows:

When I Hear My Name
Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground
Blue Orchid
Love Sick
My Doorbell
Do
Cannon-John The Revelator
Passive Manipulation
Instinct Blues
Little Ghost
Hotel Yorba
Truth Doesn't Make A Noise-Lord, I Just Can't Keep From Crying Sometimes
Keep Your Lamps Trimmed And Burning-Death Letter-Grinnin' On Your Face
The Nurse
Same Boy You've Always Known
Forever For Her (Is Over For Me)
I Fought Pirahnas
Let's Build A Home
Ball And Biscuit

Encore Break
You're Pretty Good Looking
Hello Operator
Red Rain
Seven Nation Army
Boll Weevil

Came out of there in a euphoric state--the show was a high in itself and the band totally tore the roof off the place! Man huge props to Meg and Jack for putting on such a fuckin amazing show the night after they apparently put on another great show (i only went to night 2, now i wished i would have had tix for the first one and caught both!!) The set was perfect, they sounded great, and the crowd was awesome too!

(= We're Going To Be Friends

Fall is here,hear the yell
back to school,ring the bell
brand new shoes,walking blues
climb the fence,books and pens
I can tell that we're going to be friends

Walk with me,Suzy Lee
through the park and by the tree
we will rest upon the ground
and look at all the bugs we found
then safely walk to school
without a sound

Well here we are,no one else
we walked to school all by ourselves
there's dirt on our uniforms
from chasing all the ants and worms
we clean up and now its time to learn

Numbers,letters,learn to spell
nouns,and books,and show and tell
at playtime we will throw the ball
back to class,through the hall
teacher marks our height
against the wall

And we don't notice any time pass
we don't notice anything
we sit side by side in every class
teacher thinks that I sound funny
but she likes the way you sing

Tonight I'll dream while I'm in bed
when silly thoughts go through my head
about the bugs and alphbet
and when I wake tommorow I'll bet
that you and I will walk together again
cause I can tell that we're going to be friends

WHAT A BEAUTIFULL TUNE!!!

And I just loooooooove the ending...."that you and I will walk together again". People were cheering SO loud at the show when he got to the part. Loved it.

sigh eternally · August 2005

leaving right now for the fourth and final L.A. show.

i'm really going to soak this one in. you never know if you'll ever be able to see any band again whenever they play the last night in your town, so I'm going to rock the fuck out.

VEDHEAD27 · August 2005

YES!!! Soak it in nice and thick!! I'm lookin forward to all the juicy details. God, after that super incredible night last night ( :eek: ) I'm so excited to see what they have in store for you guys tonight. Wow! Rock the fuck out with a vengeance!

Have a BLAST bud!

Oh also, great review of your show Dolly!! So glad you finally posted it here.

PearlStripes · August 2005

Heading to Kansas City to see them on Tuesday night. I'll send a review and try to remember the setlist. Keep the thread going!

Pat H · August 2005

I got into them right after Elephant came out. I finished buying their albums two weeks later. I've been hooked ever since

VEDHEAD27 · August 2005

Awesome PearlStripes & Pat H!

PearlStripes, I look forward to your review. Heck yeah let's keep this thing going.

SIGH~~>.......I saw the set tonight....you fuckin got RED RAIN?!?! :eek: I KNEW that shit was gonna happen. AHHH! Damn I bet that one sounds insanely amazing live!! :eek: You already know....this girl needs details boy! Details!

You also got You've Got Her in Your Pocket!!! Same Boy!! Black Jack Davey!? :eek:

Little Bird!!
Little Ghost
Little People
Little Room

:eek:

???

Wooooooooow.

Someone also said during I smell a rat Jack started singing "I think i smell bananas, b-a-n-a-n-a-s" real fast. LOL!!!!! TOO much! What a "little" goofball.

This show sounds completely out of fuckin control!

sigh eternally · August 2005

yep. easily one of the longest shows i've seen them put on. Jack said during the second encore that they would try to play as many songs as they could, and they sure as hell did.
funny as hell to hear that B-A-N-A-N-A-S part during "...rat".
jack's guitar fucked up before (if i remember correctly) same boy you've always known, and he threw it down on the floor and said "this isnt going to work", so he grabbed the acoustic.
they did a slow/fast version of Fell in Love...
hardcore fans went apeshit with Black Jack Davie. Mr. White just fucking RIPPED tonight. he was a man possessed. Like a Michaelangelo or a Picasso with a guitar, he created a vast aray of breathtaking art and tonight the Greek Theatre was his canvas.
a jaw-dropping masterpiece.

...god there was just so much to tonights shows that it's hard to try to remember it all. perhaps the board over at http://www.whitestripes.net can fill you in with a TON more details than I could. after 4 nights of rocking out, climaxing with this marathon, I'm just plain tired.

i need sleep.

goodnight, children of the corn.

p.s. - if you miss the stripes during this tour, you are a damn FOOL. and dont give me that "i dont like bands that dont have bass players" line, or "Meg sucks as a drummer". if you actually believe that stuff, you need to go back to special ed class.

amentvedder · August 2005

Big fan. Just got GBMS and it's so good. I really dig the funky piano on My Doorbell! Love them

VEDHEAD27 · August 2005

NICE amentvedder!! Yeah that piano work is great on Doorbell. ALL of the piano work on GBM just blows me away. This man/band is brilliant.

Wow sigh! I'm so glad you survived buddy. Good god that finale really sounds like it was such an out of this world show!!

*applauds*

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DESCRIPTION!!!!

Yeah I heard the man was ON FIRE. Someone up front said his hands were shaking, like he was seriously just sooooooo possessed. haha. LOVE IT!

I heard about his little comment during SAME BOY, when he switched guitars...something like "I'm sure on the back of your ticket there is a guarantee that guitars WILL be in tune"

hehe. Sounds like he was on FIRE and in great spirits once again. They sure loved it the hell up in LA.

I had RED RAIN in my head all day yesterday. I kept thinking "it's gonna happen!!" All those sounds?! :eek: God. I'm really aching to hear how this one sounded.

I was also very, very touched to see You've Got Her In Your Pocket. People on the WS board said Meg was lip singing along with Jack...just totally feeling it.

A lot of people said they were nearly moved to tears by this performance. I'm not surprised. This is one hell of a powerful, heart breakingly gorgeous song.

Now I gotta BUMP it up with this one. And not to just post all the slow songs

but I am a SAP over here and Jack really reaches my heart with these little numbers. So powerful....just him and his instrument of choice mixed with some gorgeous ass romantic/touching lyrics?!

*bows down to.......

~YOU'VE GOT HER IN YOUR POCKET~
You've got her in your pocket
And there's no way out now
Put it in the safe and lock it
'cause it's at home sweet home

Nobody ever told you that it was the wrong way
To trick a woman, make her feel she did it her way
And you'll be there if she ever feels blue
And you'll be there when she finds someone new
What to do
Well you know

You keep her in your pocket
Where there's no way out now
Put it in a safe a lock it
'cause it's home sweet home

The smile on your face made her think she had the right one
Then she thought she was sure
By the way you two could have fun
But now she might leave
Like she's threatened before
Grab hold of her fast
Before her feet leave the floor
And she's out the door
'cause you want

To keep you in my pocket
Where there's no way out now
Put it in a safe a lock it
'cause it's home sweet home

And in your own mind
You know you're lucky just to know her
And in the beginning all you wanted was to show her
But now you're scared
You think she's running away
You search in your hand for something clever to say
Don't go away
'cause I want

To keep her in your pocket

Thanks for giving attention to one of the best bands out there right now. Originality seems pretty hard to come by these days. WS somehow seem to find ways to put out great music that sounds similar but unique compared to their older stuff.

Hey, you are VERY welcome....and I could not agree with you more on everything said there.

amentvedder · August 2005

I know it's been posted but it's so fukin good! I love this bit, the lyrics are class

Well, everybody's reaction is changing you
But their love is only a fraction of what I can give to you
Well, let's do it, let's get on a plane and just do it
Like the birds and the bees and get to it
Just get out of town and forever be free
Forever, I wonder we could stay together
It could change if you want for the better
Just tug at my shirt and lay down next to me

VEDHEAD27 · August 2005

No worries at all! Just beeeeautiful amentvedder.

I mean really, can this song/those words ever be praised or posted enough?

OOoooooo, has anyone seen the MY DOORBELL video?! I'm aching to see this badboy. It premired last night on Nickelodeon

but I don't have frickin cable! Booo! Looks like it's also up at MTV.COM but for some damn reason I can't load their vids.

Pat H · August 2005

the white stripes make awesome videos, and My Doorbell was no exception

VEDHEAD27 · August 2005

Awwww, I saw it guys!!!

Sooooo fuckin cute is right!! I was all frantic and freaking out .... didn't even think to just go to whitestripes.com.

hehe.

Awesome video! Love the entire feel of it. All the happy little kids?! It's so playful and fun. Made me smile.

HA!! I know really!! Always loved them as well but Get Behind Me certainly has made the love and respect even stronger. SEEING THEM LIVE is what has completely done it for me. It's over now! Went from loving to "obsessing about them" for damn sure!
