They ended up doing 3 encore songs, one of which was a cover of New Order’s “Bizzare Love Triangle”.

I am shocked this show sold out in about a minute. I know the White Stripes shows around here haven't gotten this much attention. Maybe it is the fact that the CD isn't out yet and people want to get a glimpse of their first U.S. show? I don't know. I have been a skeptic ever since I heard the two singles. Nothing about it seems very unique. After listening to the live bootlegs, things do seem a little more interesting, but still doesn't have the power of the WS. I guess I will find out April 7.

I am also outraged at the prices on eBay but I was lucky enough to get a pair. Lucky being the key word. Seriously though do not fret for the album hasn't even come out yet, meaning this is only like a pre-tour. So the Raconteurs in my estimation should be back over the summer... probably. So you guys have that to look foward to, eh? Do not fret Raconteur fans. I am also outraged at the prices on eBay but I was lucky enough to get a pair. Lucky being the key word.

I didn't know about them back then because I live in the cultural wasteland that is S. Florida and I am in my 30s and I honestly not that tuned in to what is 'cool' (mostly, I don't really give a shit). In fact, I didn't start listening to them until about 2 years ago BECAUSE they were 'cool.' I purposely avoid hyped bands, because I find the bandwagon mentality to be obnoxious. But then I actually listened to them and I liked them, and then loved them. I came late to the party and if people want to lump me in with the 'cool' kids, fine, but I generally just stumble on to stuff whenever I happen to, and I am sure that is what happens to a lot of other people too. Doesn't make them trendy. #30, you shouldn’t necessarily assume that someone who didn’t like or know about the White Stripes back in 2001 but likes them now does so because they are now deemed ‘cool.’ I didn’t know about them back then because I live in the cultural wasteland that is S.
