An evening with Jack and Meg
January 22nd, 2004
Woo! Went to see the White Stripes at Ally Pally last night - first time I’ve seen them live, and they didn’t disappoint…although they played quite a few old songs as well as the new, which flummoxed a lot of the more recent converts (including, er…myself). Still, they were brilliant, their stagecraft magnificent, maybe let down slightly by the venue (not really intimate enough) and they didn’t do a couple of classics like “Fell In Love With A Girl” or “You’re Pretty Good Looking” (especially annoying as they played them the previous night), but they had still had plenty to please the crowd. A great gig, but not quite the greatest I’ve been to.
