White Stripes One Note Show - St Johns Newfoundland

One Note Secret Show on George Street, St. John's, Newfoundland Canada.
The White Stripes have been doing 'secret shows' on their Canadian Tour that they announce only on their website within hours of playing. This was totally free, and everyone knew it was a 'One Note Show'.
They put on an incredible show later on that night at Mile One Stadium. So whether you think this show was stupid or not, most of the fans on the street thought it was hilarious, and were glad to be a part of it.

[@rstrickland]

They played a full show later that night.

The concert was very nice, the song was very well put together, nice lyrics though the pacing needs some work, a bit flat in some parts but overall a very good experience that was well worth the time and effort to put together...

[@bobby8012]

what pacing what put together there is nothing to put together its just one note

That dude yelling "PLAY A SCALE, PLAY A SCALE!" was pretty funny xD I just like how Jack makes that C# sound. It comes out sort of like you feel when you run into an awkward situation, slightly strange. I also like right after they're done, you can hear one guy going "WHOO!" XD
