Chickens! Concert Series # 3: The White Stripes

Though woefully ignorant about the particulars of the White Stripes' awesome Canadian tour, I was the happy witness to both their official concert and the secret show at Eastview Bowl on July 1st. What a way to celebrate Canada Day! Both concerts were amazing (for different reasons)! The real concert itself was great (we had amazing seats) but a little different because we were sitting down (it was at the TCU), but I think that added to it because no drunk people could spill beer on you. The stage was all red and had a candy striped drum set on the left and a bunch of keyboards, guitars, etc. on the right. They played some faves from their albums, some new stuff from Icky Thump and a bunch of different things (hmmm stuff and things). During the encore Meg sang "In the Cold,Cold Night" while Jack hid behind the drums and played the simple background guitar. I bought a poster it was great. Overall I'd say different and brilliant!

Here is their website and here is their myspace. Also, even though there was a request for no video, some rebels out there took video anyway. Of course, being a good girl I didn't but that doesn't mean that I won't benefit from those who did (until it is ripped off Youtube that is). It's a fine moral line but what are ya gonna do.

Also, like everything, White Stripes are better with the Simpsons...

Update: Turns out we were especially lucky to have had the opportunity to see them because they have decided to scrap the rest of their tour (the American leg) due to Meg's anxiety and say they won't tour anymore!
