    This concert CD/DVD does a great job of highlighting both sides of The White Stripes' carefully controlled public persona.

    Jack and Meg careen from riff to riff, idea to idea, clinging for dear life as they dig their spurs into the mythical rodeo beast of rock 'n' roll. Their lean guitar-and-drums approach allows them to turn on a dime, following any stormy muse they please.
  3. Under The Radar

    As part filler, part last-band-standing victory lap. Under Great White Northern Lights is a worthwhile addition to The Stripes' discography. [Spring 2010, p.71]

    The DVD and CD combo pack is well worth the money if you're a fan of the White Stripes for the last scene alone.

    The White Stripes are absolutely amazing. If you like good music, listen to AER radio on aertalk.com. It's amazing!

    Some of the best solos of all time are in this album! Now that I own every one of The White Stripes' albums I will certainly cherish this band and their arts to the day I die!… Expand
