Excellent DVD - By: Steve Warren, 05 Nov 2007
This dvd captures the energy & passion of one of the worlds best bands, challenged only by radiohead. Although his playin can be sloppy at times his raw emotion more then makes up for technique deficiencies.
The camera does not wander aimlessly to his face or the crowd all the time, or show images music lovers do not care about, likein rory gallaghers 'irish tour' dvd.
A music dvd for real music lovers

Just An Awesome Show - By: Max, 05 Mar 2006
There are no fancy extras showcasing things groupies want to know (behind the scenes, interviews & the like), just one great show of the White Stripes doing what they do best at the Blackpool Empress Ballroomin February 2004. The setlist is fantastically divided between the band's first four albums & with a few covers (like the fantastic Boll Weevil finale). Obvious songs to highlight include Astro, Jolene, Hotel Yorba, You're Pretty Good Looking (For A Girl), Ball And Biscuit & of course Seven Nation Army. The entire way the concert is shot gives it a real edge.

If you are a White Stripes fan you will love this. Any normal music fan will like it just the same. It's fast-paced stuff. It's like a concert this DVD, I didn't come for the support act, just the main headliners.

GRAINY - By: Mr. N. J. Henry, 24 Sep 2005
...Which is good of course. I want to start this review by rhetorically asking why most of the people reviewing this dvd feel the need to plug their love for this band. This site is for commerce & reviewing, so go to a chat room or something because I dont want to hear it. This review is for all you buyers who are thinking; "shut up you absolute wino pirate, I want to know if it's any good, not why some radish who I don't even know loves the band so much."

So, the direction for this dvd is astonishing, It's all shot on Super-8 home video camera which gives that magnificent grainy look. I read that the film reelsin the cameras are so short they run outin like 3 minutes or something, so they had to set 9 or so up to take shots of the band at diferent times throughout the concert, whilst other cameras were reloaded with film! Sounds like lots of hard work to me but it really pays off.

What follows is a stomping, swaggering, electrifying performance that should, but NEVER, feels like a rock cliche`. Jack White donning his guitar like a super-Jimmy Page, & Meg White Smashing all hell out of her drumsin a crazy thuderous racket, makes for one of the most awe inspiring live sets I've witnessed. All from your sofa.

So buy this, put on your white makeup, don't wash your hair, turn the surround sound up to full power & enjoy something magical.

White Stripes DVD review - By: , 13 Aug 2005
This is a great Dvd as any fan would expect, it soundsloud, raw & technically quite perfect especially songs like 'Death Letter'.
The only problems i can find with it are that the first few songs are kind of a mixture using small samples so theyre not actually the full song as the tracklisting might suggest. Also there arent any bonus features but the live performance can stand on its own.
