2004 video by The White Stripes
Under Blackpool Lights is the first official DVD released by The White Stripes . The DVD consists of 26 tracks recorded at The Empress Ballroom at the Winter Gardens in the English seaside resort of Blackpool on January 27 and 28, 2004,[ 1] and directed by Dick Carruthers using super 8 film . Among these tracks, as with most White Stripes live performances, are several cover songs – such as "Take a Whiff on Me" (Lead Belly ), "Outlaw Blues " (Bob Dylan ), "Jack the Ripper " (Screaming Lord Sutch ), "Jolene " (Dolly Parton ), "Death Letter " (Son House ), "Goin' Back to Memphis" (Soledad Brothers ), and "De Ballit of de Boll Weevil " (Lead Belly ).[ 2]
The DVD's title comes from a moment during the performance in which Jack White addresses the audience:
"I heard George Harrison say the Beatles used to go see Blackpool lights – what is that? A different place altogether? I'm in the right place at the wrong time? That's how I feel every day."[ 3]
