Based on 44 concert reviews, the critic consensus is that The White Stripes is rated as a superb live performer, with remarkable shows that are worth watching. The White Stripes concert reviews describe live shows and performances as chilling, confident, vibrant, riotous, and authentic.
With no air conditioning poor acoustics and a strange floor arrangement the arena on Boston University's campus wasn't the best place for The White Stripes much less anyone to play.
The four-day event in Hyde Park aims for the authentic with warm beer in paper cups and stalls touting raver tat and attracts a surprisingly hedonistic all-weather audience many dressed in trainers band T-shirts and cagoules.
Which is why, as the greatest live band on the planet make their return two years later, it's a bit of a comedown to see the sound deteriorate so badly that half the crowd start chatting during the show.
Fittingly for a band whose current album is called Get Behind Me Satan this forbidden fruit will pulse red and white behind them all night looming like a symbol of original sin as they charge through a riotous show.
