The White Stripes - Apple Blossom & Death Letter (Live on Backstage Pass May 28, 2000)

[@bellatonelli]

Apple Blossom is one of my favorite songs, the lyrics and melody are so delicate and sweet

[@ok9908]

it's like a Beatles song, honestly. I love how Jack didn't stick to the same formula all the time and made some exceptions to their usual, much heavier sound. These cute 'exceptions' now have become an unreplacable part of their sound, that i couldn't live without. I love this song too and I think Paul McCartney wishes he wrote it lol

[@tompuce84]

Man they're so young

[@AnthonyPerez-y8s]

I know right never seen them this young aside from their debut album cover

[@zatchfan202]

My all time favorite band from high school!

[@shakawalker5184]

Right on

[@hermesdavi8406]

*Whitestripes channel posts a new video* Me: Don't do that. Don't give me hope

[@micmikeman6865]

I would probably say there's a greater chance of a reunion than most people think. You never know with them

[@micmikeman6865]

Yeah. Your right. But you never know

[@helloitsme255]

Miss them 😭

[@picolaton150]

Jack still makes music

[@helloitsme255]

Jurga Mikšytė I do like jack’s music but I miss them as a band

[@daphnetruman]

Man that was such a magic time for those two musically. Every note, every beat, every word no matter how flawed or well done was absolutely perfect. They could do no wrong. I was fortunate enough to see them on two separate tours at the Greek in LA for White blood cells and Elephant and quality wise in a rock and roll sense the only live band I have seen that I could compare it to is AC/DC in the sense that every single song was great and was better live than the studio versions.

[@jetsamperes5762]

The performance of Death Letter live at the Greek where he becomes so intense that he practically pushes Meg off her kit at the end is one of the best live performances of any song ever.

[@daphnetruman]

@@jetsamperes5762 My wife and I saw them at the Greek in LA for the Elephant and Get behind me Satan tours and the shows were phenomenal. Watching JW on stage then was like really watching someone work. He did not play, he worked his ass off. One song he broke two strings and you couldn't even tell he was down to 4 strings. Just giving it his all. We saw him just a couple years ago in San Diego and he was very good but those years with Meg were truly special.

[@TheBonusNoise]

The absolute disrespect of rolling the credits during Death Letter. Just two years later, that never would have happened.

[@mjf8897]

AND CUTTING OFF FOR THE SPONSOR OH GOD JUST LET THE SONG PLAY OUT

[@sloburnjo]

eye roll.

[@gnaagren]

I mean... years later, that's probably as much spotlight as Assistant to the Producer Stephen W. Pagonas has ever gotten. Go, Stephen!

[@LaureleiMarie]

God, they look like babies!

[@jaromirlata8992]

thank you..you’re right..now i won’t repeat what you wrote..I saw and though of the same thing bout ASAP...Ohhh the dang time travel...

[@bagdadaladin8672]

Like paul mcartney

[@LuisGarcia-qe9qe]

From the songs to the album cover, De Stijl is damn great!

[@CindyEisenhuth]

Female, 68, just found this band!!!! Unbelievably outrageous!!!! ✌

[@Anthony-uf3oz]

Cindy ! Welcome ! I have so many videos of theirs I'd like to recommend ! Check them on Saturday Night Live as well as Under Blackpool Lights !

[@MrBiPauler]

I'm 69. Giggity!

[@kevincason5309]

Cindy... i was blessed to be introduced by a friend maybe 20 years ago. but regardless... they are such an amazing duo and worth any effort to explore..... much love, enjoy. i wish you smiles enduring.

[@fernalicious]

We're so lucky Jack and Meg met.

[@scortch1418]

Weren’t they like siblings

[@babablacksphee]

@@scortch1418 no they said they were sibling So that people don't talk about them and focus on the music they were for a breif period married

[@termsofusepolice]

@@babablacksphee So this dude married his sister?? I thought they were from Detroit not Appalachia. :-)

[@samus598]

Brother and sister, playing Rock n' Roll and doing it on the road. Thank you Jack White for the fiber optic Jesus that you gave me. It shined so bright that I couldn't help believing it could save me.

[@johnnymcallister4099]

@Cliff Leatherby KOL

[@sergioaraya681]

Wow,24 years ago... But hey,good news for ya: there's no reason to miss them, their music doesn't get old. ❤

[@PaulO-qt6sq]

Probably one of the most under appreciated bands of the past 20 yrs. Not many bands kick out 5 kickass albums.... and to do it as a 2 pc

[@crumply2781]

5? What’s the bad one? Debut, get behind me satan, or icky thump? I think the debut is the worst (ofc it is it’s the first) but it’s really repetitive every song sounds the same

[@MrBiPauler]

They are almost as good as the Black Keys!

[@dynjarren7523]

This is greatness! An early White Stripes Detroit TV 📺 appearance! They were really getting big and popular. Bigger than Detroit! They busted out of the Detroit scene and started touring the World 🌎. The other Detroit Bands went nowhere. There really wasn’t much of a scene. Only the White Stripes made it big! Even the late Great DJ John Peel was impressed with the Stripes. He did a great Peel session with them for Posterity! The Stripes played like they were on fire! This is what KZbin is for! To capture and show rare footage you can’t see anywhere else! Thanks for uploading it!

[@nickb3968]

Apple Blossom kind of reminds me of older Beatles stuff.

[@nickb3968]

@Me, Also Me I'm not really sure what year their stuff was classified officially as psychedelic,but I'm thinking before that. Some of the Beatles style spans all of it though and Apple Blossom shares some similarities(in a good way) in my humble opinion. I miss a certain simplicity that's pleasing to the ear in music. Seems like everything's overproduced in rock-n-roll for some time now. (White Stripes excepted)

[@theccarbiter]

That’s probs because it’s a 12 bar blues more or less and it’s very common in songs and the beatles also used 12 bar blues in their songs

[@juliaochoa4524]

I miss them together 😞❤️🔥

[@joanna4655]

Same. But we don't really know what happened behind the scenes. It's probably for the best. 💔

[@k1tchen5sync]

They broke up the band because meg was have issues with anxiety when they were in Canada (under great white northern lights) that’s why part of the Canada tour was cancelled. But I hope they’re both alright

[@comicnicky76]

I cried when I heard/read they were disbanding! Definitely, one of my all-time bands!

[@chrisdavid735]

Death Letter is new to me... It has a Red House blues sound to it. it is great! Thanks for the old school.

[@src248]

It's a Son House cover

[@ToStrangeToHate]

Be sure to watch death letter from the ‘under blackpool lights’ show! One of my fav songs by white stripes, I’m sure it is on KZbin. Respond after you watched it ;)

[@octazooka3452]

Under Northern Lights is good aswell

[@ghg4601]

i like their song always refreshing me

[@Ph4nToMfr]

Funny they re-release that live (that I love), I was just trying again to play Apple Blossom this afternoon.

[@tompuce84]

I just played it this morning ;) Such a great song

[@aaronsauer6628]

what makes this so special is the raw and simple

[@heatherroberson1648]

Love the blues they do together

[@franklincoolport27]

This band managed to create such a cool vibe, gonna re-visit some of their songs for my live set.

[@o.b.4593]

Freaking dope

[@wastingyourtime05]

You said it.

[@daphnetruman]

Double dope supreme!

[@10bunks12]

They were so good. The best

[@tremeloblues]

Meg White! Meg White not talking! Meg White playing the bells while banging the drums in Red Rain! Meg White whispering “This fits me perfect”! Meg White crying next to Jack when he plays White Moon! Meg White wearing pigtails! Meg White saying she’s quiet! Meg White playing the keyboard in In The Cold Cold Night! Meg White smoking! Meg White wearing red pants! Meg White petting a rat! Meg White singing Rated X completely! Meg White bowing when she says, Hello! Meg White laughing loudly! WHY IS IT THAT I CAN’T STOP THINKING ABOUT MEG WHITE???!!! #MegWhite

[@nic5950]

meg white playing barefoot ! meg white being the cutest ever

[@jetsamperes5762]

Meg White playing with one hand while the other sits on her hip. Meg White never missing a cue even without a setlist. That time Meg refused to play Aluminum live in Canada and Jack had to change the song. Meg White having an anxiety disorder but still playing festivals and live TV in a two person band. Meg White leaving fame behind on her terms while on top and never looking back.

[@lukakandaurishvili4085]

love this two

[@nelikekex1481]

Two of my favorite songs, I'm not going to lie I'm a little bit mad for the cut on the song

[@JBrandonSummer]

De Stijl

[@manamimonamour]

OMG...young Jack is too cute...

[@harlowjademermaid1882]

The cutest

[@gabrielfox457]

I actually saw the White Stripes play in Detroit in 1999. I went back to Michigan with my dad when his dad was in the hospital with stomach cancer. It was after my grandfather passed away that me and dad took a trip to Detroit and we ended up seeing the White Stripes play.

[@bluestar.8938]

Thank You : )

[@melteague117]

Wow, 21 years ago!

[@TheNamiSami]

Love to see "new" white stripes stuff

[@Tramp33]

Просто обалденная песня. Услышал её в первый раз в фильме "Омерзительная восьмёрка"

[@polinmanova9237]

А если она любимая уже лет 10, и вдруг звучит на первых минутах фильма - кайф вдвойне!

[@luizjunior908]

Damn Meg's drumming here is kinda tight ngl

[@da1t036]

Always has been. Not sure why everyone hates on her so much.

[@MrBrodman98]

One of these days they're going to upload a "Live in 2020" video or something and I'm going to lose my shit.

[@jarettrodriguez7218]

Nah not this year. This year has sucked way too much for something awesome like that to happen I’m afraid.

[@LAGM69]

Nope

[@kendallmasterssank369]

THEY ARE BACK

[@CMac15]

KZbin suggestions killing it lately...

[@torontomunda]

Only 278 k views should be 200 million

[@Reddzeppelin]

Babies!!! ❤🤍🖤

[@richardhuff9313]

They need to make a movie

[@bigernmahkracken7960]

Didn't they tho? Under great northern ligbts, lotsa concert and travel footage. Or you thinking Jack W should see what kind of movie would come outta his head. Like Rob Zombo did.

[@christopherwhite9533]

Unrelated to the video, but if Under Blackpool ever releases in vinyl, i could die happy.

[@notyouraveragedreamrr9606]

id die to be proposed to using this song

[@비정한세상]

"Apple Blossom" Hey little apple blossom What seems to be the problem? All the ones you tell your troubles to They don't really care for you Come and tell me what you're thinking Cause just when the boat is sinking A little light is blinking And I will come and rescue you Lots of girls walk around in tears But that's not for you You've been looking all around for years For someone to tell your troubles to Come and sit with me and talk awhile Let me see your pretty little smile Put your troubles in a little pile And I will sort them out for you Lots of girls walk around in tears But that's not for you You've been looking all around for years For someone to tell your troubles to I'll fall in love with you I think I'll marry you

[@SedatedGhostwriter]

Is that guitar he's playing on Death Letter the same guitar he covered in paper?

[@MegaUglyface]

It is, I guess it didn't meet the red, white and black aesthetic before he covered it up

[@SedatedGhostwriter]

@@MegaUglyface seeing it in its original form for the first time is like seeing Marilyn Monroe before she went blonde.

[@charzargaming5322]

MegaUglyface it was also because the guitar gave to much feedback

[@annarozell7671]

Jack I love every thing Jack does!

[@rtyuik7]

its weird hearing Jack use less effects during this song...like, he actually played it the way it is on the album, instead of his usual "live show" amp-up...

[@chasenielsen6137]
