They're a great loud band, but apart from some bagpipes before Let's Shake Hands, there's little new or particularly interesting here.
-
Ultimately, like many live albums before them and certainly after them, it's just okay. It succeeds in capturing a performance that is an apt representation of the band and is largely an aural pleasure, yet you never really shake the fruitless nature of the album.

Under The RadarAs part filler, part last-band-standing victory lap. Under Great White Northern Lights is a worthwhile addition to The Stripes' discography. [Spring 2010, p.71]
-
UncutThe combo of an unadventurous set-list and cutting between several different shows makes Under Great White Northern Lights an oddly detached experience. [Jun 2010, p.111]
-
The sold-separately CD soundtrack reiterates that point, capturing the pair's post-millennium blues, from the scat-rap, tornado groove of "Icky Thump" and electric mandolin haunt "Little Ghost" to the proto-punk, Maximum R&B of "Let's Shake Hands."
