Screwdriver - The White Stripes

An amazing performance of Screwdriver by The White Stripes. This performance is an excellent example of the intuitive connection between Jack and Meg. From their unforgettable concert at the Detroit Institute of the Arts on 11/02/01.

Jack getting all shy at the beginning when the crowd cheers for them is possibly the cutest thing I've ever seen.

[@dieselscience]

Meg has social anxiety disorder and he's worried about her.

[@koltonturner7305]

[@elpajaronegro]

I love it that Meg doesn't feel like she's gotta be Neal Peart...just does her straightforward but quirky drumming to back up Jack's awesomeness. I totally love them.

[@largoatramedes9072]

That synergy those two had omfg cannot be replaced. I miss her but she's doing her thing so that's cool.

[@ThePauly1]

They had the crowd eating from their hands the entire time! One of the greatest bands in existence! :D

[@lenafan492]

Meg looks beautiful

[@TheStratoCruiser]

It's so funny how I innately find myself smiling with joy whenever I watch this video. The energy of this song is so incredible.

[@8caulfield]

I will never understand this, but it will always be one of my favorite things

[@justclark7470]

Gotta love that couple rocking out to this song

[@wedgablebgebshevski]

awww when jack's mom grabs his hand at the end :)

[@AronaDaal]

holy shit thats a mean riff, im a new fan that so far has believed jacks amazingly unique voice to be his forte. now i realize that his virtuosity can match his singing.

[@Elvishswimmer]

the audience doesn't seem grateful enough that they are watching these amazing musicians.

[@mashypatato]

my god, my most favourite band ever, jack and meg white are amazing i just cant understand how the people in the crowd are staying so still!

[@PhoenixRising235]

This son is brilliant.. I love the part closer to the end..."got a lil feeling now" sound like he's about to explode... great record.

[@ConquestStripes]

Jack White in the old days. Brings back memories....

[@Mrmusicman2000]

it isnt about what you play its how you play it and attitude when you play a song. thats what makes this awsome

[@titoskate]

[@boldandbrash5214]

[@maryvee61]

Agreed Meg is Awesome!

[@rezeski]

I don't care what anyone says... this is one of the top one hundred bands ever; and the number one band with only two people in it! "Screw-driver" totally rocks.

[@ohshiite]

Oh. That went right into the favorites...

[@Yooniverzal]

1:51 two people are actually having fun.

[@fnrebel]

[@onebeat80]

[@shitoryu8]

Jack has always had several very distinct guitar tones with different guitars and they all sound mean as all hell. Raw player.

[@brokenxfallen4ngel]

man.. priceless... :)

[@nataliemcconnell1930]

Awww 4:47 look at his mammy grabbing his hand at the end !

[@shailihaddad3605]

love them and miss them soo much....

[@JimiGoode]

@bickymcq He really describes it well in It Might Get Loud, he likes to make it a challenge, he wants everything to be a struggle, he used the piano as an example, saying if he needed to switch to the piano during a song, and it took him 4 steps to get there in time, he'd put it 5 steps away

[@marter2006]

Happy Birthday, Jack White...7-9-75!!!

[@MrSpaceplatypus]

Great band!

[@SingerSeeksBand]

Loving the red

[@lkgrave4959]

I thank you and Meg would probably thank you.

[@artistsandbox]

can you believe this was almost 10 years ago

[@bickymcq]

Thanks for the coherent warning!

[@JDuncanM1369]

Meg over at my place would make my day.

[@dpcquak]

I always felt the white stripes out of time. It sounds like something from the early 70s more than late 90s

[@JDuncanM1369]

All the time, brother. Wouldn't have it any other way.

[@swamplifecontrol]

That was hilarious - and touching ^ ^

[@pennydesouza]

I think this is their foreplay.

[@keithleeuwen877]

Great !

[@PizzaMeeple]

This clip was totally in It Might Get Loud.

[@575gtcFerrari]

If i wuz at that show id be jumping around like hell!

[@littleroom333]

Haha... Jack is all embarrassed in the beginning. LOL!

[@draegerelektronik]

awesome *__* .

[@WonderLure42]

pinchharmonic23: This one is the Crestwood Astral--it has the in-line fender-style headstock. The Harmony Rocket has the three-by-three headstock (he seems to rarely use this guitar for performances).

[@ConquestStripes]

504,000th VIEW RIGHT HERE!!!!!!!

[@analogjunk]

1:53 hahaha, i love that dude

[@kimberoonie]

Damn Straight.

[@apocalypselat3r]

omfg meg was such a cutie!!!

[@borntohula94]

amazing how such a skinny girl can be so powerful. meg white's definetly one of the greatest drummers ever

[@MusicSeshh]

2:53 meg cracks a smile

[@me24546]

1:49 those 2 people are really energetic

[@Freindlyghost88]

Meg's drumming here really makes me think that if Son House had hit a drum and the occasional cymbal instead of clapping this would be it. Simple and powerful. Meg doesn't give anything that isn't needed. Turns out, the minimum can kick ass.

[@bertbretherton]

Thanks for sharing this excellent performance with us. May I apologise to you on behalf of all the pond-life who watch and listen to what they don't like and then get someone who can write badly to post a worthless comment for them.

[@theshakl]

what CHEMISTRY! How do they do that without looking at each other!?! They're sooo in the pocket

[@94marcus]

wow this was like before they even became noticed

[@Dillon_DeHart]

screwdriver was on their first album, so yea, it is...

[@TheIgnorantCheese]

This song makes me want to swing dance again.
