The White Stripes

 

    The White Stripes have been one of the most popular and important rock acts of this century.  They were one of the bands included in that whole indie/garage-rock revival thing back around 2002-3, which now seems just a distant blip in the cultural rearview mirror.  Counterparts the Strokes waned in popularity until declaring extended hiatus last year, and the mention of Franz Ferdinand is once again just a World War I reference.  But the Stripes have weathered the backlash and continued to stand out amongst the bazillion other indie bands now on the scene.  You might even consider Jack White the godfather of a whole new era in rock, and their longevity can be attributed to one thing: their live show.
    On their current tour, Meg and Jack are playing every state and province they had never played before.  So there's your explanation as to why in the hell they landed in the cultural abyss that is Central Connecticut.  But that was no reason for concern.
    Nashville punk Dan Sartain opened the show as the sold-out crowd filed in.  When the Stripes finally emerged in their trademark red, white, and black, the crowd took to its feet, and there they stayed.  Without a word, they ripped into the cryptic "Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground", with Jack handling vocals, guitar, and organ, and the onslaught didn't stop there.  The band launched into the guitar-solo driven "Icky Thump" with absolutely no regard for aging eardrums.  This place was loud, and Mr. White can absolutely shred.  At one point during an extended solo, he employed one of those shrill, dog-whistle distortion effects, which actually caused me physical pain.  And i liked it.
   

    The White Stripes Jack White and Meg White pictured above

 

    The music never stopped (except for the occasional guitar swap) as each song blended seamlessly into the next.  The banter from the stage was minimal, although he did pause to acknowledge the unlikelihood of his whereabouts.  "Never played your lovely state before.  I guess it's up to you to tell us...why or why not?"  The crowd went fairly bananas, probably in vain, trying to ensure a return trip.
    Their silhouettes shining on their red backdrop, Meg kept the beat (even taking a turn on bongos) while Jack mercilessly belted out face-melting riffs, with some slower acoustic numbers inserted for variance.
    As I said before, the White Stripes ushered in a new era in rock music, although relics of times past (Rock devil-horn signs, attempts at crowd surfing) did surface here and there.  Jack White's voice is higher than almost anything heard in the 90's, and the whole show had an altogether more classic rock kind of feel.  After the requisite early exit, the encore commenced with the punchy "Blue Orchid".  After avoiding most of their better-known songs most of the evening, they belted out two more new songs and then......the lights went on.
    There had been no "Seven Nation Army", no "Fell in Love With a Girl".  At first I felt a little toyed with.  They had left me high and dry, given me some sort of musical blueballs.  But as reality sunk in, I changed my tune.  Even without most of the hits, I had seen an incredible show by a great musician, who just may end up one of the icons of my generation.  This was one of the most captivating shows I have seen, and I'd recommend it to anyone with an appreciation for musicianship and/or showmanship.  I'd also recommend earplugs.
