The White Stripes - The Hardest Button To Button
(4/12)
Live @ Reading Festival 2004

[@daffy2115]

We miss ya Meg.

[@patton303]

I enjoyed all of the tempos.

[@arthurmolina638]

NOT QUITE MY TEMPO

[@timkjazz]

A great dynamic between them, Meg worked exactly as she should within the context of what Jack needed for each song, she was the perfect drummer for the perfect time.

[@nomehdrider]

Agree completely, grew up in 60s/70s and always heard Ringo wasn't a good drummer, now he is praised for playing for the song-same for Ms. White. No better drummer for that band...

[@francoalvarez2749]

Cmooone that’s the worst drums in a song

[@RogerBarraud]

@@francoalvarez2749 'koff.

[@terrycunningham8118]

@@francoalvarez2749 So? Her drumming is the point. If you don't get that then find a band you like.

[@pabloavendano7775]

​@@nomehdriderconcuerdo, es como usted dice...

[@imamuser7281]

How beautiful was Meg at the time. A woman with silent fashion sense. We all love you, Meg, in everything you created with Jack. You was the soul of this band. You have to know this.

[@simoneciancamerla678]

I agree with every single word! Meg returns to the scenes, make yourself heard, I miss you!

[@donjohnson1155]

I can not fathom what it is the magic of this band but I know I love them

[@elemkay5104]

Chemisty

[@kathyraymelles.80]

Love them

[@filofiamma]

meg is so pretty, has a great simplicity

[@goncack]

Agreed. Meg has the best, and cutest facial expressions.

[@petethepirate730]

They were so damn cool. So glad I got to catch them live.

[@yeahh8402]

Pete the Pirate wow!

[@ams4490]

Luckyy

[@erwinr9328]

fucking hell meg! Incredible energy and drumming

[@Uaarkson]

Every ten years, a legendary band emerges out of Michigan.

[@GeneralJordan-os9wm]

So underrated! this is the best version ever!

[@YTPremiumWatch]

Meg killing it as always, Jack’s playing and voice alike are weird warped lighting - Just how much they make each live performance so singular…fucking love it!

[@harryzack4115]

Meg off beat as always

[@victismo]

Look at the crowd going nuts. If you can do this with such a small drum set and with so much simplicity, you're fucking awesome. And Meg White was.

[@milotherussianblue3691]

I love this band because it’s just TWO people. Amazing what they can do.

[@TheFourthSurvivor]

This song feels like it's some kind of duel or epic showdown between the two of them, i love it

[@aaronsauer6628]

i also love the little faces she makes

[@EC-kz4vv]

She's adorable!

[@ronaldinho4eva1]

God I wish they were still together. I just wanna see them live once.

[@yeahh8402]

His Airline was so dirty at the moment, still love him!

[@SJB-cm7jg]

This by far the best Stripes song to sing along with.

[@Carnivalab]

The soul of an Artist is the most important thing.

[@volvo1354]

Love when Meg starts in on the high hats

[@NorthTexasEagle1989]

Just the way they look at each other.

[@JaysanJanabel]

it's like the way he does the effects and tricks in the intro in every live performance will remain a mystery to me forever.

[@thescaryscream5963]

I tought he used a wah pedal

[@debraknight5300]

good lord he is hot! Great song!

[@augusthagglund9344]

Debra Knight ikr

[@grubblesnert]

hey Meg, beat them drums girl! you are are one of the greatest IMO, simple. pure..............

[@augusthagglund9344]

Jerry Walz exactly!

[@wwforget]

meg looks beautiful

[@jtathaizzosh]

There is some serious grunge on that guitar. Awesome.

[@bsasteve]

Simple beat but it works so well with Jacks guitar

[@DandamanV]

Woah man, that's heavy!

[@42mrwright]

The good old days!

[@mablicorice]

omg thank you blackmath333!!! the quality and audio are perfect!!!!

[@skyslayer327]

Hey did any of you guys see the toy elephant? Probably because the album is Elephant (2003)

[@mance02]

YEAH BOYYY! that's what I'm talkin about! and the crowd singin with him??,, EPIC AWESOME!

[@VinicioHaner]

Damn, that pickup is kinda dirty

[@sechzehnhundert]

this is just strange but cool at the same time. the sky-like-background with the stars, the hairstyles, jack's trousers, and all these medical lamps. i wish i had seen them on their gbms-tour. definitely the most interesting stage of the white stripes.

[@aaronsauer6628]

i love megs hair

[@tamoore77]

god bless meg ❤️

[@006sick]

Best Rock band Ever (.)

[@JaysanJanabel]

And yes, they ruled in Reading!

[@Idolmakercat]

This is awesome. Jack has sure changed.

[@MarkBrydondrums85]

Never knew of this song till now but wow I only liked seven nation army but this tune is pretty cool too!!

[@thescaryscream5963]

Imo better than seven nation army

[@IanOPadrick]

Every comment here: Why is nobody talking about how perfect Meg is? Not a complaint, just an observation

[@James-wj8eq]

Simply to this day most men bitch about Meg because she had her own definative drumming style, and had a short but very successful music career that most of her detractors never had a d never will have.

[@wesleygantt6170]

That old school TNN Nashville Now belt buckle is the ornament of gods....

[@88LewisG]

AMAZING

[@SoulCitySawdog]

Yay, Meg!

[@shanekelley7682]

[@bennystanley5839]

Meg is my dream girl

[@spartacus2296]

1:08 it sounded like an oRtHqUaEk

[@MurderIncrystalskull]

I wish the album version would've been recorded with the very same energy they play it live...

[@Gac3la]

meg was thin and hot like hell ! jezzz !

[@pizza_the_hutt93]

[@Gac3la]

Peter DeTeresa fo sho ! but i prefer this one more !

[@augusthagglund9344]

gac3la IKR!!!

[@Mercy1914]

Omg. The crowd looks soo mosh-able. ^_^

[@mrconcreteartisan]

@IchMagSechs The fact that you know what a trigger is ,and that this performance was being recorded for rebrodcast,put two and two together and there is your answer.

[@ap290828]

meg leads and provides the discipline

[@andrerodriguez8092]

I love the Looney Tunes effect on the guitar, that's why I prefer the live version

[@ytnbsa]

damn good crowd

[@bridgetalaine7]

@Natzzzrocks his arms and hands....are so beautiful

[@wo3701]

0:32 As a man, I appreciate this shot very much.

[@Hendrix104]

Meg looks in awesome shape in this !

[@alleseigentlich]

@LOOT606 Eastwood Airline 2p customised, like... he took the overload of buttons off.

[@alfishipp]

@An0n3mu55 as much as the white stripes are my favourite band of all time, to say meg is one of the best musicians in the world...

[@hutch356]

@amaxlazer SHE ALWAYS DOES!!!

[@feamlealex]

Man. Looks like Meg lost weight and jack gained a ton of muscle.

[@hiukishinp]

@dentpopcan He uses a Big Muffy and a Digitech Whammy, this sound is probably from Whammy

[@sidebarrecon2201]

Capt. Jack White Sparrow

[@rossdmusic]

Go on Jack and meg

[@denispinto8481]

0:55 😂

[@annarozell7671]

I do try hard to

[@yuvgotubekidding]

The hardest button to button is the one on the cuff of a dress shirt.

[@OvercomingAwkward]

man, just look how dirty that guitar is, most people would think playing a guitar that's that dirty on stage would be incredibly embarrassing, but not jack, he thinks it adds to the whole vibe

[@cratus90]

1.33 elephant (album)

[@skatevans99]

@Xdiegop ahhh i stand corrected

[@sinisterurge1454]

How could anyone not love Meg?

[@Reshbj]

If the Guitar isn't the Bass' secret identity, how come we NEVER SEE THEM AT THE SAME TIME?

[@LoudnProud42]

@HarryBRWells regular, hes using the whammy pedal to hit the low notes

[@Nicholsable]

that is the firat time ive seen meg wear a black shirt

[@PumpkinPieces33]

Wow he totally stripped that guitar, awesome!

[@kathyraymelles.80]

Plays it amazingly

[@EILIVSAGRUSTEN]

@UncleBen1991 Using the Digitech octave whammy or something...

[@skatevans99]

@Xdiegop you actually would need a slide. to my knowledge jack doesnt use a whammy

[@dylanvanbree785]

Pretty Meg

[@southrules]

I think Meg quit at the right time, Jack was starting to write crap, this was the peak(ish)

[@drewdoes]

Seven nation army was there last good song

[@PaulGilbertrulezzz]

+drewdoes no it wasn't. I bet that's one of the few songs you know from them.

[@southrules]

Kris Verock The reason doesn't matter, her "crippling anxiety" came at the right time.

[@lcarpetrondookmariot7620]

southrules Icky Thump was fantastic. They were still belting out high quality content before Meg quit.

[@southrules]

Stereotypical Coaster Channel Yeah I know but it's when he started in a less organic direction or something. I still miss those white damn stripes

[@DaYungPaperChaselol]

Jack's "Adam Morrisson" period

[@EliasMohr2]

@ZakNou20 because they can.

[@juliMathers]

@MalignantNarcissim they used to be married. but they split out in 2000 or something like that.

[@CountryHouseGent]

The Blues curses through Jack White's veins. `Hog Damn`.

[@sethemmit1627]

Meg

[@08motorizer]

snooki on drums just kidding white stripes rules

[@dugfriendly]

The crowd is so far from the stage.

[@bpdrummin]

Why aren't we all talking about Meg? Steadiest Goddamn drummer ever!

[@johngrij865]

She's sexy as hell too

[@augusthagglund9344]

bpdrummin you're both right!

[@samcarroll6210]

bpdrummin everyone is talking about her... Too many people

[@kennylangley1997]

Yes she is.

[@rebelguy9487]

Meg, sexy? More like approachably pretty.......unfortunately she's notoriously shy and introverted

[@SuperJula10]

pepole need to quit making fun of them they are sooooooooooooooooo awsome and gess wat i foud out jack whites name is reall anthony gills or gillis but so wat they are still the best

[@ieatsocks69]

jula his name was john gillis until he married meg white and took her surname. Then he changed his first name to jack

[@jetsamperes5762]

Jack was only 6 years old in 1981. No wonder he named the kid 'baby'.

[@pedrocasarim986]

Tune in your guitar sometimes is cool.

[@Ale_Man]

That´s fukin´g music son of the bitch!!!!!

[@zoecafetas]

@ihopetillmyend I know that's why I only said, her hair style duh

[@israels98]

I forgot about the mustache version of Jack White lol
