The White Stripes is continuing to commemorate the release of The White Stripes Greatest Hits with the premiere of a live performance from Sky Arts' From The Basement. The session was recorded live in November 2005 at London’s Maida Vale Studios.
In a press release, The Basement co-creator/producer Nigel Godrich said in a statement, “The dream of From The Basement is to capture great performances with the most direct and beautiful coverage possible, both sonically and visually.”
He continued, “We were so fortunate early on to have the support of Jack and Meg who instinctively understood the concept of the show and so came to be part of it. As a result we have this amazing snapshot of their fantastic energy and style. It’s an intimate and direct performance, something magic, powerful and special. A day I will not forget.”
The White Stripes From The Basement session is streaming now at the official White Stripes and From The Basement YouTube channels.
