The White Stripes’ standalone performance has been released in its entirety for the first time, along with exclusive never-before-seen B-roll from the session. The six-track setlist featured songs such as “Blue Orchid,” “Forever for Her (Is Over for Me),” and “As Ugly As I Seem,” along with a cover of Captain Beefheart’s “Party of Special Things to Do.” The performance was recorded at the London’s Maida Vale Studios for the pilot episode of the web television series From the Basement, which was the brainchild of Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich. The series ran between 2006 and 2009.
