As part of his label Third Man Records’ “Vault Package” series, Jack White is issuing a live double- LP of rare White Stripes recordings titled Live Under the Lights of the Rising Sun. The duo, which broke up in 2011, recorded the tracks on their first overseas trip during Tokyo gigs in October 2000.
The album captures two complete sets, right down to their shout-out to headliners the 5.6.7.8’s, as well as a cover of that group’s Kill Bill Vol. 1 soundtrack contribution “I Walk Like Jayne Mansfield.” The live collection also features an early version of the White Blood Cells track “Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground,” a rare cover of Iggy Pop’s “I’m Bored” and an improvised medley interpolating Screaming Lord Sutch’s “Jack the Ripper.”
