The White Stripes To Release DVD

"Film everything, see what happens." - Jack White

The White Stripes made sure to document their 2007 Canadian tour, during which they performed on a Winnipeg transit bus, a Prince Edward Island fishing boat, and in a classroom. Remarking upon the smaller towns the band traversed, White told the CBC “As we went around and played a show in every province or territory, we realized that not even a Canadian band had ever done that. Which is wild, I can’t even believe that. How did we become the first, you know? It’s already the 21st century!”

The slice of life doc which includes about 40 songs, will show the inspirations for certian gigs, and the bands subsequent follow through to completion. But, fear not candy cane children, this ain't no Rock of Love Bus. White remarked, “I don’t think we would wanna film ourselves like this. I’m pretty anti-reality television and all that ridiculous peeking behind the curtain sort of aspect of entertainment these days, but in this case, I don’t think it really has that ridiculousness to it. It does have an insight into some of the things that got created and how we went about making a tour like that happen.”
