2010 marked the 10th anniversary of the rock sensations first tour to the Pacific - in fact it was just about the first time The White Stripes played outside of their hometown of Detroit - and well before making it big in the United Kingdom.
It was a significant event for New Zealand music too, leading to several local acts and agents being introduced to the international stage.
Nick Bollinger talks to Jack White, members of The Datsuns and other musicians, promoters and punters influenced by six small gigs held across New Zealand in October 2000.
