White Stripes - Under Blackpool Lights

Author: LonoPublished: Apr 18, 2005 at 2:07 am 1 comment

I just watched the new White Stripes DVD. It having been several years since they have released anything... I was jonesing. I wanted to write just to say how disappointed I was in the thing. First off, the sound quality is terrible... just terrible. Remember that time in college when you taught your dog to burp on command? That is how it sounds. My beef with this is I know the band sounds amazing live. I saw them back when they toured on Elephant and they tore the place up! I think that the Rush DVD has just ruined most rock DVDs for me. I expect amazing audio quality.

Second bummer for me was there was no little featurettes. Jack White is an interesting dude, without question. So, can't you give us a little 30 minute film following him around town one day?

Honestly, the band is amazing and so are their concerts. That is why I feel so let down and betrayed by this zapruder film quality. I shouldn't complain too much. I didn't buy it, I just netflixed it. In some very positive White Stripes news, the news disc is done and will be out in June. I believe it's called 'Satan get behind me'. So save the $20 on the DVD and just get that new disc. If history is any indication it will be a phenomenal disc.

    Your thoughts on Rush in Rio are clueless; you might need to get better sound equipment.
