White Stripes at the Civic Center - 7/22

Luckily for me, I got a ticket to see the White Stripes for my birthday, and boy, what a treat it turned out to be. The show was simply incredible. It's remarkable how two people can have such an outstanding stage presence.

I'd have to say the highlight of the show was "Icky Thump". Watching Jack White play the guitar and organ synthesizer simultaneous was nothing short of orgasmic. Another highlight was "Seven Nation Army". During the snarling guitars of the chorus, the crowd went nuts, swaying back and forth, jumping up and down.

Jack White was ecstatic to see most of the fans reciting all of the lyrics, so he vowed to come back to Portland again, as this was the first time he has played here with his pseudo-sister Meg. All in all, great concert. I will definitely have to see them again.
