One second show
BoingBoing reports that the White Stripes played a one-second show in Newfoundland:
Buzz had been building around the city for hours about a secret show, which became a hallmark of the group’s unorthodox tour across Canada. The two-member band, for instance, played in a Halifax pool hall and on a bridge in Winnipeg.
Shortly before the suppertime show on George Street, fans were told the White Stripes would play just a single note. Hundreds of fans were able to make it to the stage in time to see the briefest of concerts.
The crowd cheered loudly after the Stripes played their one note, took a bow, and left the stage.
Video here. Smallist or not, this seems pretty asinine to me.

This is just stupid. How fool can you be to wait for a show like this ?

I think the White Stripes are terrible, so this sounds like my favorite of their concerts… but yeah, a totally foolish stunt.
