@@quontumleeep9430 No you're both wrong. lol He got mad because the amp became unplugged from his guitar when he picked the guitar back up from the desk. It's why he instantly threw the guitar down after it stopped making a sound, and it made Meg pause her drumming for a split second. Then she picked it back up a second later and he finished the song without the guitar. And its why the ending sounded sort of awkward and she didn't stop hitting the drum when he finished. Because she is so used to ending the song on beat with his guitar, so she wasn't sure when the song was ending. He has played on Conan many times by this point, along with many other Late Night talk shows. He is fully aware the host isn't sitting at their desk during performances. lol And him and Conan have a fairly close relationship. He is really serious about his craft and was simply annoyed he didn't get the finish the song like he wanted to and had to finish it without his guitar.

@@YerpDerp17 The correct answer. I always read it as him not being mad, as much as "Fuck it, I don't need the guitar to finish this." Homeboy is possessed on stage, and purposely sets himself up to have a hard time. This is what I've heard him say in interviews.

This was the best performance. For years I searched for this in KZread , but it never came up... or was hard to find. Thank you to the poster.

Oh - so gorgeous!! They are absolutely wonderful!!! And just the two of them! My God! Unbelievably good. I LOVE them!!

This performance forever changed my opinion of the White Stripes. I just wrote them off as another Garage band revival act like the Vines or the Hives, but after seeing this performance I realized I was soo wrong.

This kicks my butt everytime

He's been my everything since 1997 so glad my taste doesn't expire it only ages impeccably

There was so much electricity there even Conan jumped on the stage can only imagine how awesome it would have been in person

I think they were on every night for a week. And I tuned in excited every night to see them. I wish I could have recorded it all.

Kicks more ass than many Bands with 4 or more guys

love the initial scream Jack!

*Re: those drums.* For me she's one of the best rock/pop drummers of all time. Up there with Moon, Bonham, Burke, Starr... *Why? Because she has something that can't be learnt/taught. Sexy as .. & that natural raw naked beat that hit's the soul's speedbag.*

00:10 who needs a bass to have a band? 03:27 who needs a guitar to have a band?

From here you will discover early-early blues and 70s punk. As soon as you catch up and can speak to each, the rest of American Music becomes a topic of conversation that links you to every other genre. Enjoy the ride and keep your mind open.

iconic performance that by itself should be in the HOF
