Icky ThumpOne for the Ages: The White Stripes Bonnaroo PerformanceAuthored by Scott Goldberg on June 19, 2007 - 10:18pm.
At 7:21pm on June 17th you could have heard The White Stripes take the stage in Manchester, Tennessee from 65 miles away in Nashville. The place went bonkers. Nuts. Insane. To a blind man: a mix of screaming teenage girls at a Beatles show with the start of the Super Bowl. Which is saying a lot, given it was the fourth consecutive day of 90-degree heat and approximately the 200th show of the festival. Much of the 80,000 attendees were delirious. And there certainly weren’t many teenage girls among the hippies, the hipsters, and the hicks. But that exhaustion was of little obstacle or concern to The White Stripes who, after following dozens of great acts over the previous three days, seemed to say with the first chord of the first song, Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground, “Welcome to class everyone. You’re going to learn what music is all about."
