The White Stripes have shared a pair of videos from the archive highlighting the band’s performance at the VH1 studios back in September 2005 as they continue to promote their new Greatest Hits compilation, which arrived this past Friday.
The two videos premiered on Wednesday, and launch fans back to September 23rd, 2005 for the studio performances of “My Doorbell” and “Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground”. The live studio session came as part of the band’s ongoing promotion behind their Get Behind Me Satan studio album, which had arrived eight months earlier in January 2005.
