The White Stripes have shared a 2000 performance of the duo playing “Death Letter.” The clip comes ahead of the 20th anniversary of the band's second album, De Stijl, this Saturday (June 20th).
The performance is taken from a show in Missoula, Montana and is included in an upcoming De Stijl anniversary edition reissue that contains 25 previously unreleased tracks and live cuts.
Titled The Accompaniment To De Stijl: The White Stripes’ Sophomore Album, the set boasts two colored LPs — one white, one red — and a DVD housed in a hardcover case. It also includes an archival booklet filled with previously unseen photos, flyers and more.
The 25 previously unreleased recordings are spread across the two LPs, including covers of AC/DC's “Let There Be Rock” and “Dog Eat Dog” as well as a rendition of the Velvet Underground’s “After Hours." The LPs also contains early versions of songs that would appear on De Stijl as well as its follow-up, 2001's White Blood Cells.
The DVD features two concerts from the De Stijl era, which the label promises have never been seen before. The "Death Letter" clip is presumably taken from one of those shows.
