The White Stripes in Myrtle Beach (Updated with Set List)

Last Sunday night in Myrtle Beach, The White Stripes didn't disappoint. They played 90 minutes of deafening rock-n-roll, and Jack's off-the-cuff style kept Meg on her toes as he cut songs short, switched tempos mid-song and had a fit of frustration mid-show, losing a fight with this hair and throwing a towel in anger.



That said, the show was nothing short of amazing. Raw, visceral and unscripted, Jack didn't just play music, he became it. With no filters or pretense, he took over the stage in a kind of manic fury and let loose with everything he had.

  1. Icky Thump
  2. You Don't Know What Love Is
  3. Hotel Yorba
  4. Effect And Cause
  5. Cannon
  6. John The Revelator

  8. Catch Hell Blues
  9. Seven Nation Army
  10. I Can't Wait
  11. I'm Slowly Turning Into You
  12. In The Cold, Cold Night
  13. A Martyr For My Love For You
  14. You're Pretty Good Looking (Cut Short By Jack)
  15. Hello Operator
  16. Instinct Blues
  17. Apple Blossom (Towel Thrown After Song)
  18. Take, Take, Take
  19. We Are Going To Be Friends (False Start)
  20. We Are Going To Be Friends
  21. Little Cream Soda
