It's good that we'll be able to edit this altogether like I remember it purely from my head.

Last week on Striped, you heard Ben Blackwell talk about some of the tracks that made it onto the White Stripe's first record, as well as some of the tracks that didn't.

This time around, you're going to hear him talk about some of the shows the band played in 1999. And one of the sessions Blackwell and I did, we went through every single one of those shows from that year, and he had some pretty interesting tidbits and kind of funny recollections from a few of them.

the origin story of a pretty iconic instrument. Oh, and just for reference, some of the live

tracks you're going to hear aren't necessarily from the shows that are being discussed.

wait a minute, that song's not from that show.

songs from the self-title album,

uh,

were ever played live.

My particular memory is that, um,

if you listen to the studio recording of broken bricks, there's a very prominent school bell ringing.

Ding to ding to ding to ding to ding to ding to ding to ding.

Jack brought the bell with him and i don't know if he was gonna

if he had planned on playing it on stage i think it's not on the recording so i don't think he
