As part of Third Man Records' Vault subscription series, Jack White will be releasing a White Stripes live album and DVD titled Under Amazonian Lights, which documents a concert in Manaus, Brazil on June 1, 2005 during the tour in support of the duo's fifth album Get Behind Me Satan. According to Consequence of Sound, the album will be pressed "blood red vinyl with stark black wisps," and features covers of songs by Bob Dylan, Howlin' Wolf, and Son House alongside the expected White Stripes classics.
In addition to the live album and DVD, this package will also come with a seven-inch containing two White Stripes demos: "Let You Down" (an early version of "The Nurse"), and "Ain't No Sweeter Than Rita Blues."
According to a press release (via Consequence of Sound), the concert documented in Under Amazonian Lights was quite legendary and unusual, as there was "fear that the amplification of the band would cause the plaster in the building to crack and possibly fall and injure attendees." Following the set, Jack and Meg White performed an unplugged version of "We Are Going To Be Friends" for fans outside the venue who were unable to purchase a ticket, resulting in what was "arguably a riot."
