Episode 51 – Under Great White Northern Lights: Project Analysis & Review pt3

The Third Men Podcast proudly presents the final installment of The White Stripes Under Great White Northern Lights project analysis trilogy! In this In 2007 Jack and Meg took their Icky Thump tour to Canada with a mission: play every single Canadian province. The project would be captured both in audio and visual and evolve into a documentary film, photo book and live album that essentially captured the end of The White Stripes as a band. This week we discuss the accompanying film and album releases for the project, and uncover the origins of what is considered by many to be one of the most intimate and honest rock and roll documentaries ever made. Director Emmett Malloy, with the blessing of both Jack and Meg, shows us a band at a crossroads during the height of their fame - and neither blood, sweat nor tears were left on the cutting room floor. We're joined this week by Third Man Giles LeBlanc who attended both a live performance back in 2007 from the Canadian tour, as well as the Toronto Film Festival premiere of the documentary two years later.
