Under Great White Northern Lights

This album rocks. I love the electric shredding of White's guitar and the rhythmic beat of Megs drums. Jolene was a refreshing new song and the album kicks a**.

I was dissapointed in this album. The lead guitar rips are miserable. Some of the songs are just plain bad!!!

I have been a fan of the white stripes since their inception my collection of cd's includes all their cd's,as well as the endeavours of jack in different groups.

I do believe that they are justifiably regarded as one of the best acts to have emerged during recent years,and i also do not dispute that their actual live performances are something to behold,(if one is lucky enough to have attended a concert).

Unfortunately this cd,like the majority of live cd's by other artists, do not do justice to the studio recordings of the same songs.

And this not the the band's fault.

It is just an unfortunate fact that live cd's are different,it represents a live concert where artists are normally improvising and the sound quality are normally lost on the recording.

If you are therefore purchasing the cd purely for completist purposes, go ahead.

In the alternative, rather purchase the original recordings and hear why the white stripes have made some of the best music of the decade.

There older Live DVD was alot better than this Cd I was a little disappointed. I wish they would have put the music from under black pool lights to a cd instead.

Wow, what can you say? These two never cease to BLOW MY MIND! The level of Rock and Roll that they are putting out is incredible! Besides crushing chords and shredding solos, the rhythm guitar makes me think of seeing ACDC back in late 70's early 80's, fantastic. I've seen them twice (Get Behind Me tour) plus the Blackpool Lights video (which is insane!), but have never heard "Union Forever" live, this version gave me chills! I was going to see them in Alaska on this tour but then Meg's health issues canceled it. I'm hoping that they will do at least one more big tour (please Jack & Meg!), I have to see them again. I hadn't heard any live for awhile, just been listening to the studio albums (get them all), and putting this on made my jaw drop all over again. Being an old fogey (40's) I was wondering awhile back if I would ever like a new artist again, then the White Stripes showed up. They took up the banner, and they are holding it up HIGH! Check it out! cheers.
