I strongly believe most people gave Napoleon Dynamite a chance because of this song in the intro grabbed them so hard(a bit of a over statement and exaggeration I know). Although this version was slowed down as a dramatic finale it was sloppy for a live band that has performed in so many degrees higher. It does seem lil off its one of my fave songs from them.

Pick any two kids out of a juvenile detention center, have them shoot up some speedballs and hand them guitars and I'm certain that they'll perform better than that.

A little more than halfway through Jack looks to me like he's just getting a little choked up just by the look in his eyes. And shortly after Meg gives him this look and a smile and you KNOW they still care about eachother and... yeah. so just giving my input on the performance =) And yeah i agree with Erik T. about the end of the song. That really seems like it is directed toward Meg as just... A gesture. Haha.. alright i'm done =) And i’ll be done with this after i say this.

BUT Jack's voice was obviously gone, probably due to sickness or just overwork. And you know they wanted to come play on Conan and it's not anybody's fault really that his voice happened to be gone just at this time. SO for you all you people saying the stripes suck live, why don't you just think about this for a second? honestly, it was a good performance; definitely not the best but it was good and i'm not gonna complain.

The only medicine for that is to rest them for several days or weeks. I didn't know that song was Conan's favorite, I assumed they played it because Jack's voice was blown out and he was forced to keep things mellow. I shudder to think what something like Hotel Yorba or Icky Thump would have sounded like. The only reason I wasn't completely turned off by the disappointing performance was the fact that the Stripes have proven themselves to me again and again over the past several years to be an exhilarating live act.

But i agree that the performance was a bit off. Since Conan has said that this is his favorite White Stripes song i think it was fitting. But i agree that the performance was a bit off.

I think it should have been more upbeat also “Meg White… you’re alright… in fact I think you’re kind of swell!”

Thanks for posting this - I suck for forgetting the Stripes were going to be on Conan last night. My two cents on the song: I think Jack's continuing his Dylan influence by rearranging his songs. Not as good as the original version, but it was an interesting one-off. awesome!
