Excellent FM radio broadcast. This was the White Stripes' first appearance at Reading, playing the main stage late on the Friday afternoon. This was the early days of White Stripes mania and they would return to Reading as headliners just two years later. This post of 2002's incendiary performance (sadly, the BBC broadcast omits a couple of songs from the set) is posted to mark the duo's decision to break up the band.

Superb recording of The White Stripes in concert on BBC Radio One's 'Lamacq Live' show. Features songs from their first three albums. 'I'm Bored' is an Iggy Pop cover. I don't think The White Stripes have ever bettered this period and this is a great reminder of just how good they were.
