Northern Wish Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 THE WHITE STRIPES SET TO RELEASE UNDER GREAT WHITE NORTHERN LIGHTS 3/16On March 16, enigmatic duo The White Stripes will be releasing their first-ever official live album, featuring 16 songs on both vinyl and CD, as well as the Emmett Malloy-directed documentary film, Under Great White Northern Lights. Those who pre-order this special box set will receive three unreleased tracks by the band for immediate download. In the summer of 2007, The White Stripes embarked on a cross-country Canadian tour to accomplish their goal of performing in every province and territory across the expansive northern nation. These two incredible pieces are a unique documentation of that journey, providing a fascinating look into the on and off stage lives of one of the world's most captivating bands. Having first premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in September 2009, Under Great White Northern Lights documents the band playing to crowds in towns of all sizes across the Great White North - from traditional venues to matinee gigs at unusual locations such as a bowling alley, a boat and even on a city bus - culminating in a momentous 10th Anniversary show at the historic Savoy Theatre in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia. A captivating mix of striking live footage and poignant off-stage moments, this visually stirring and emotive feature length film celebrates the band's 10 year history, bringing the duo full circle in their career to a place reminiscent of how they first started out; shows where no one knew who they were, and where they were left to make a first impression with their music. The live album continues that celebration and is a perfect companion piece to the film, featuring 16 songs recorded at various shows throughout the Canadian tour - a collection that captures all the aural intensity and spontaneity that The White Stripes have become known for. A compelling reflection of the band's career, both the live album and the documentary will allow fans to reminisce about where they were when they first heard The White Stripes, while also adding extraordinary pieces of work to their already stunning artistic cannon.

Jaimoe Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 I think I'll ask for the whole box-set for my birthday, but I'll settle for either the DVD or live CD. The Molson Amphitheatre show from this tour ranks as one of my all-time favourites. The CD track list looks pretty good, although I'm no fan of Blue Orchid.

Jaimoe Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Ya, I'm with you there, but maybe one of my family will get together and "suprise" me with the box-set. If not, I'm all over the CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
