RE: A Shirt on Sunday: The White Stripes - 29/6/2002 - Glastonbury Festival
They had a great energy and seem to have inspired a lot of other duos. I never got to see them live. Jack is a real character. Have you seen It Might Get Loud where he jams with Jimmy Page and The Edge?
That's on my list to watch, as they're all fine players.
Of the duos that have followed, I quite like Black Keys but I do think yougenerally need two people playing melodic instruments when there's drum kit involved.
A guy I know hates power trios. Cream, Hendrix, Muse, any trio format. Not sure why, but he does.
I like Royal Blood who do magic with bass and drums. Another band whose album I bought after seeing them on Later. Saw them support Foo Fighters. Lots of trios I like including all those you mention.
Ah yes - Royal Blood aren't bad. Buffalode were a stoner/doom duo who were pretty good, but they split up this year.
I like the power trio format, but I've never liked Muse - they just don't do it for me, which is surprising. I think it's the keyboards, but then I like Nice/ELP.
Top trios would be Rush (not seen them live), Manics (although they tour as a 5-piece), Cream (but didn't enjoy them live) and of course Motorhead!
