The White Stripes kicked off their “Get Behind Me Satan” tour on May 11th, 2005, in Monterrey, Mexico, and now that historic show is available to stream or purchase via nugs.net.
Jack and Meg White performed a 25-song set that night at Auditorio Coca-Cola, of which 23 songs are available to stream (“Let’s Build a Home” and a cover of Soledad Brothers’ “Goin’ Back to Memphis” have been omitted).
As it was the first show in support of the band’s 2005 album Get Behind Me Satan, the concert featured the live debuts of seven songs from the LP, which was released a month later. Among those cuts played live for the first time were singles “Blue Orchid,” “My Doorbell,” and “The Denial Twist.”

The show also included favorites like set-opener “Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground,” “Fell in Love with a Girl,” and “Seven Nation Army,” the latter of which just topped Consequence‘s list of the Best Guitar Riffs of the 21st Century (So Far).
According to a description on nugs.net, “The venue was apparently only half-full, due to the two local soccer teams both having important games on this day. Something poetic about the sport that had co-opted the band’s music from the last tour, turning ‘Seven Nation Army’ into an anthem, now also co-opting their audience at the start of the new one.”
