Show Notes
Another entry from the '07 Icky Thump tour, the middle of this set features a mind-bending run of short, quick song teases all in a row ("I Think I Smell A Rat" to "Cannon" to "Wasting My Time" to "Screwdriver") which lands directly on top of a stellar "The Union Forever." From there, the combo of "Cannon / John The Revelator" melts effortlessly into "Little Room" which jumpstarts immediately into a frenetic "Hotel Yorba," all followed up with a take on "I'm Finding It Harder To Be A Gentleman" that turns on a dime when Jack substitutes the lyrics to "Now Mary" while still playing the tune to "Gentlemen." Which then morphs into a unique "The Denial Twist." All that to say, for my money this is the most impressive ten song run I ever saw the White Stripes do.
Maybe the pull quote could be "Edmonton 2007 contains the most impressive ten song run the White Stripes ever played." -Ben Blackwell
