I was amazed of the quality of this entire package. First of all, the single sounds fantastic. I mean, the songs are not of the best The White Stripes have ever done. But it's great to hear recordings of this vintage for the first time today. Just brings back the old times hearing a fresh White Stripes recording sounding the way this does. These recordings sound better than many of their earlier released singles. Absolutely loving it!

The live 2LP, yeah, great. Jack has the typical latter spirit he had with The White Stripes. And I must say, very poor playing during the early few songs of the show. But these things a lot of times make it all the better. Loving this 2LP and artwork.

But what hits me most near and dear is the DVD. Absolutely FANTASTIC! I didn't imagine the quality being as good as it is. And for a person like me, who saw The White Stripes half a dozen times during this period of their career, it's SOLID gold and brings back so many great memories. Seriously, I think anyone could appreciate this period. Back when it was really simple and much less a gimmicky show.

Since last night I've watched this DVD 3 times. I'm not usually a person who can sit in front of a TV for more than an hour a day, but, I cannot get enough of it. Just love the little things about this show like Jack repetitively apologizing for having a hoarse throat. Or during "Wasting My Time" (one of my personal favorites) he misses A minor and gets a look from Meg. Then he corrects it and she gives him a little smile. Or how Jack always seems to have trouble with his guitar straps. Dude needed someone to hook him up with some straplocks or something. And biggest and maybe best thing of all, fucking De Stijl was released on that fucking day! Which brings me to a formula:

De Stijl = Best fucking White Stripes album EVER!
hey, spoilers man - i haven't watched the dvd yet!
I'm sorry brother. I seriously thought of titling my post with "spoiler".

But there's really more to it than what I posted. Seriously, if you're a long time White Stripes fan, you'll LOVE THIS! And even find things that might have touched home with you many years ago that I didn't point out. This is a great package all the way through. And the best advice I can give for the last few replies is: WAIT! Wait for it to arrive in your hands and indulge. I've had many opportunities to receive releases well before their release date and I waited. Well, with the exception of Nirvana's "With The Lights Out". But it's well worth the wait. It's simply awesome!
