On July 16, 2007, in Newfoundland, Canada, the band played only a single note on the guitar and a crash cymbal hit on the drums.

The concert was a way for The White Stripes to celebrate that they had played in every part of Canada and the performance lasted a whopping 50 seconds.

The White Stripes were an American rock duo from Detroit formed in 1997. The group consisted of Jack White (songwriter, vocals, guitar, piano, and bass) and Meg White (drums, percussion, and vocals). They were a leading group of the 2000s indie rock and garage rock revival.

Meanwhile Ticketmaster:

“Yeah that’ll be $150…”

[NotMyRealName]

And then we chanted “one more note! One more note!”

Man, this is what Newfoundland gets. A 50 second concert.

What's even better from that concert is the audience knew and was cool with it

[ThunderpunchBiggs-Dominguez]

They are amazing. I still feel joy in my heart every time i hear a beat by Jack or Meg.

Napalm Death could have played "You Suffer" 16 times at that show

Nice of you to post the entire concert!

I had to look this up. This was a secret show a few hours before their full concert

[Trollolololol]

Everyone gangsta until a grindcore band walk up to the stage

Not very fun fact: the Guinness Book of World Records banned any records that would “put limitations on art” so they refused to officially make this a record.

[purrrrrrrple]

One single note on the guitar and a crash cymbal on the drums is every white stripes concert tbf

[empty_field]

that’s the first note to “hello operator” if i’m right

[drewbadger]

Thank you, Newfoundland! You were great. See you next year😂

One of my favourite bands and that was three days before I was born.

[TomJones-winh]

Spoiler alert - the sound check lasted an hour.

[dominatorpod_stolom]
