Lyrics:
It's quite possible that I'm your third man, girl
But it's a fact that I'm the seventh son
It's quite possible that I'm your third man, girl
But it's a fact that I'm the seventh son
And right now, you could care less about me
But soon enough, you will care by the time I'm done
Let's have a ball and a biscuit, sugar
And take our sweet little time about it
Let's have a ball, girl
And take our sweet little time about it
Tell everybody in the place to just get out
We'll get clean together
And I'll find me a soapbox where I can shout it
Now read it in the newspaper
Ask your girlfriends and see if they know
Read it in the newspaper
Ask your girlfriends and see if they know
That my strength is ten fold girl
I'll let you see it if you want to before you go
Let's have a ball and a biscuit, sugar
And take our sweet little time about it
Let's have a ball
And take our sweet little time about it
Tell everybody in the place to just get out
We'll get clean together
And I'll find me a soapbox where I can shout it
And I can think of one or two things to say about it
Alright, listen
Alright, you get the point now?
It's quite possible that I'm your third man, girl
But it's a fact that I'm the seventh son
It was the other two which made me your third
But it's my mother who made me the seventh son
And right now, you could care less about me
But soon enough, you will care by the time I'm done
Yeah, you just wait
You stick around
You'll figure it out
Man just when you think you hear the best version there is, another pops up
Nah the best version is vh1
I bought all their albums, but I still used to scour the file sharing networks for live bootlegs. Every performance was different and original, played with first time intensity. They were amazing live in the early 2000s. I saw them at the Greek in 2003 and I’ve never seen a better show.
@@danlovepeaceunity found a vh1 wwith qood audio hope it helps ua-cam.com/video/stZShJjTNaY/v-deo.html
much to fast
I think best version is SNL with Domic Davis and Daru Jones.
I wish I was as dedicated to anything as Jack White is to Music.
Damn right man you can Master anything if you put that much effort into it holy shit 🤘
I agree with that for sure.
Jack really understood the guitar on a professional and almost primal level. People talk about how he can be sloppy sometimes, or how Meg isn't the greatest drummer, but being clean isn't the point. These two had chemistry, and thats what musicianship ia all about, feelin it.
Correct...being clean defeats the point.
"Rock n Roll is music for the neck down. Once it reaches the head, you've lost it."
Keith Richards
Rock/Metal was always about exploration and getting dirty. If you don't miss a note here and there, you ain't trying hard enough. Safe = boring. This isn't jazz...
Regarding Meg as a drummer, Jack White has since played with a lot of more highly regarded musicians, but his best shit is with her
@dannyzuko7182 Any form of music is about really going for it, some of thr greatest Jazz musicians pissed off a lot of people too. The entire genre was once a taboo.
Sloppy is creative, imaginative and a higher level. Structured is boring.
I remember watching this as a 12 year old thinking "wow im rather unimpressed with his guitar playing" Watching it at 24 as a seasoned guitar player this shit blows my mind
Dude. Literally same as fuck.
You tend to realize how amazing things are. When you learn the trade and understand how incredibly fucking it is to pull off
Couldn’t imagine watching this at 12
what kind of guitar is that?
Airline iirc
Jack White is like all the rockstars wraped up in one person.
Classic rock/metal guy here. Didn't know too much about The White Stripes and decided to watch this but wasn't expecting much. This just blew me away.
My favorite duo ever
Did this surprise video turn anyone else's day around like it did mine?
Indeed.
Yes!
If u check out the tmr instagram, this is not only a new live video, but it’s coming with a best of album!! The first one for the stripes I believe.
Yes... Lol
Sure did Buddy !!!
One day I had this riff in my head for years, and I mean *years* and I didn't know what it was, and then I played it on my guitar and my dad walked into my room and heard it. He was so surprised that I knew how to play and that I knew this song. I told him I didn't, he instantly went onto UA-cam and showed me white stripes. Thank you, dad, love ya
Do sad that he didn’t know you could play the guitar 😪
What was the song?
Jimi Hendrix John Frusciante Jack White the greatest guitar players in the order I just discovered coming out of retirement and now having a Time to listen to music and trying to discover new music this guy is a genius
@@stevensetek2567 Check out Rory Gallagher if you haven't yet. Hes on Hendrix's level, and an extremely influencial and creative musician despite never really getting the insane popularity he probably deserved.
@@stevensetek2567 You better check out Stevie Ray Vaughan.
I was at this show. I’ll never forget it. Was the day (time zone difference) Elliot Smith died. Jack revealed this to the audience at the start. It was such a weird and sad vibe for. WS show. Whirlwind Heat opened and they blew me away.
Everybody needs a dose of Jack White. The world would be a better place. This is the essence of rock and roll.
Agree
And Meg!
White Stripes Notification in 2020. That's what we needed so desperately!
It’s amazing that I’ve never heard of this guy he is unbelievable! I’m an instant fan. And I’m not a young man I just turned 68 years old.
hey, im on the other end of the spectrum here! im 14 in a few months and ive loved this band since i was small- great to see a variety of people love them, even in 2020!! 🍬❤
I think this video is from the tour to support the release of Elephant, which is one of the first albums you should be checking out. It’s White Stripes in their prime.
I saw them at the Greek in 2004, I lucked into front row seats. It was the best live show I’ve ever seen (narrowly beating Radiohead/Supergrass around the same time). L.A. audiences are usually lame, lukewarm, jaded, but Jack quickly brought them around.
I think it’s fair to say that Jack White re-imagined the guitar sound, combining the threads of earlier pioneers and innovators and putting his own spin on it. The sounds the band produced on stage were thick and juicy, raw and beefy, despite the two person line up. The few minimalist songs they did are what you might expect from such a spare line up, but the majority of the music they produced is maximum rock and roll.
There’s a documentary featuring White, Jimmy Page, and The Edge (from U2) that might interest you.
There’s always new stuff at whatever age. I’m 59 and discovering new stuff all the time. Jack White though, takes me back 20 years of guitar legend!
Elephant is Jacks greatest album, and he usually closes his set with 7 Nation Army. It’s his lucky number you know 🎸
Where have ya been? He fell between genres but if Jimmy Page likes him that’s second to me. Jack is phenomenal
they’re feeding us well in quarantine
How could you dislike this masterpiece
Sdss
Dua lip
He did kinda play
CCR at the end.
Pop fans
missed the like button, obviously
@@onpointrecordz6231 you mean he played Smokestack Lightning near the end.
This is one of my very favorite songs, ever!
It's like Johnny Lee Hooker meets Led Zeppelin with a huge personal unique attitude.
Pardon me while I pick up my jaw from where it dropped on the floor!
The riff, the groove, the guitar sound, the vocals, the tightness, the looseness, the feel, the reckless abandon, the everything. This song is fuckin' epic!
I'm 62 and due to the 70's i've seen many of the so called "greatest". One of the most impressive show's i attended ever: Jack 'n Meg! 🔥👊🔥‼️
Lucky dude
Jack is just one with music theory all ready inside of him. He doesn’t need to think of what goes together good it just comes naturally.
I don't what it is, but Meg's drumming is addictive. I understand that I lot of people don't like it because the band is too simple, but fuck that. They are a punk and blues band, what do you expect. There sound is so unique and good, it hooks me in. I totally see what Jack was talking about when I comes to Meg.
the snare sounds insanely good here ngl, like whoever tuned the kit did it well
I like to point out that Jack White has since played with a lot of more highly regarded musicians, and none of it as even close to as good as his shit with Meg. That’s gotta mean something
I was lucky to see the White Stripes play live. Jack and Meg together were something special. Musical combustion.
Amazing performance! He shattered his left index finger in July of 2003, had surgery and then blessed us with this in October! WOW!
Wow indeed! I had no idea that he shattered his finger three months before this insane performance! That’s dedication to your art. Woah.
@@joanna4655 you can actually watch the surgery on youtube. They cut open his finger and put bolts and stuff inside it.
The World needs The White Stripes!
I was there!
What this video doesn't do is give justice to just how bone shatteringly loud the two of them were. One of my all time favourite gigs. I'm so glad I get to relive a small part of it.
Wow
I am 50 years old and found the White stripes years after they had already broken up still my favorite band!
If James Hetfield is the god of downpicking,
Jack is the god of uppicking.
Dimebag could make a good argument for that. I love Jack though. I love his raw and abrasive sound
Incredible people... and Band!
Best forever
Love how little snippets of Smokestack Lightening drop into this. Brilliant !!
One of the very best guitar players.........period.
Cmon jack, we need a reunion.
You'd have to ask Meg, not Jack.
Not gonna happen, unfortunately...
We dont know what the future holds. This might be a sign!!!! Maybe meg might be ok with making an album and no tour. Or new album and one show at thirdman
meg unfortunately doesn’t answer her calls anymore, jack said. plus, I don’t even think she wants to be in the music business anymore
Sirr Noodlez yeah, I heard she hasn’t picked up the sticks in about 11 years
For the record. I did search for this.
Not bad for an upholstery guy 😂🎸🔥
This makes you know you’re alive down to every cell in your body. It’s simply fucking genius!
Jack was the guitar hero of my generation. Blows me away.
*I WAS AT THIS SHOW!*
Good times! I still can't forget how loud it was. I was impressed by the sound 2 musicians could make...
Was living in Tokyo from 2001-2004.
Whenever I hear Elephant, it makes me think of the subway in Tokyo, the album was constantly on my portable CD player while I wandered the city, alone but so *there*...
What an awesome time of my life that was.
2020 sucks. Bring on 2021!
Wow that sounds like a really cool time living in Tokyo!
What a legendary performance...Jesus Christ. Jack White is a BEAST!
We miss you guys!
I get excited every time i get a notification from The white Stripes, best band ever! ♥️🖤
@@CcBloom777 no luckily they upload stuff from time to time
This inspired me to actually sub to their YT channel and not not just rely on their Spotify following. Or more, make me realize how active their YT channel is
Man I miss this so much...
Yes!!!! My favorite band is alive!!!! 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍
Me too
I miss seeing him play that guitar. I'm glad I found them when I did, it changed my life seeing them live.
He does solo work
@@snow15243 but he doesn't play that Airline ever. I love that guitar in particular. but his others are all awesome too.
Jack white is one of the best guitar players of all time. Change my mind
Come on, I love The White stripes, his missing of the notes is the beauty of the group, the rawness of it all but JW3 as one of the greatest guitarist of all time, there's at least a THOUSAND guitarist on You tube now way
better then Jack forget about all time!!!
@@stevebradbury1914 nice👍
@@stevebradbury1914 it’s not about technical abilities. Those people on UA-cam your on about don’t know how to make up riffs or how to put there own chords together so there pretty shit really.
David Gilmour.
His playing is really authentic😍
these two could make the world a better place. all they have to do is playing together again. they can chose another name and color-theme, but we need this strong raw music today.
no doubt
this is the quintessence of music. the core.
This notification made my day 🤘
yo are you born in 04, I was born in 03, I love when there's someone my age who likes them, to bad we weren't around to see them
@@edwardlopez2011 yeah I'm 04
@@YungBuckTheLabrat hey 03 here, Saludos de Argentina
I love watching Meg play those drums ,it was hot to watch ,and his guitar work amazing .I wish Meg would come back she really added something.
Oh my goodness 😍😍😍😍😍
Awesome
I love You Meg!
You set the rhythm for Jack to do what he do
Jack White is a genius. I've been a guitar player for 40 years. Jack plays mostly blues scales but heavily distorted. It's his phrasing and timing that's unique. It's out of the box thinking. He reminds me of Jimi Hendrix sometimes, but Jimi never never had the throttle to the floor. I got to see Jack White play at a bar in Lubbock, TX in 2014, and I just stared at him the whole show, trying to understand him -- FAIL. His music is so far ahead of the times; he won't be fully appreciated until he dies -- like most artists. I would love to talk music with him for a weekend.
Thank you for that. It's a beautiful comment, and has helped me appreciate Jack in a new way. I think he's unique, and amazing too. And yes, I believe you're right about him being a genius. He is definitely different, and I love his sound, his voice too.
I love this album from start to finish. I remember listening to it entirely back in 2007 when my mom bought the CD. I still have it.
It is such a brilliant album! The White Stripes are one of my favorite groups. Kinda sad they aren’t together anymore. But, you know, I get it. Hope they are both happy and doing well! 💙
At least they are both alive and kind of young. Maybe they will reunite someday in the near future. Meanwhile, let's enjoy their old stuff.
Nobody performs like this anymore the last of the great performances
Epic
i stil jam this in the car almost everyday :D
So f’ing good!!!!! Did anyone else hear the smokestack lightning teases in there? Unbelievable
Such an underrated guitarist. Jacks fucking fantastic!
This maybe the greatest guitar work I've ever come across, and that includes Jimi Hendrix. Absolutely stunning.
I miss Meg.. : (
I was at this show. Hard to believe it's been 20 years.
I finally saw him play this live in Austin last time he was here...incredible!
How I miss this......
I still have and always will have so much love for the band❤️
Love that hair thrown back and forth and the guitar picking is insane I've never seen anybody do that before
Saw this tour from the mosh pit in Camden, NJ, and made it my 10-year-old's first concert experience on freaking purpose; that's what I think of Jack and Meg.
Damn that's some good stuff! thanks White stripes for letting me see this!😀👍
I really miss The White Stripes
Amazing 👌
Thanks so much. This is amazing.
so great. i miss you two!
I love the white stripes ❤🖤🥁🎸🎤
How could anyone hate on Meg's symbol bass combo? BOOM CLANG! I love it. @ 4:29 he does a little moon walk
Jack white is the best talented guitarist in our time right now
I saw them play this live in 2005 freaking awesome!
found your style about ten years ago...didn't know you had a you tube channel... been listing on Pandora for year's...
your sound is so raw...and clean... you both are amazing and talented and very in-sink.. I can be under the weather on any given day and just listen.. to any song you wrote and it just set's me off.... and make's my mind right...thanks
