After the release of Is This It , the band toured around the world—including Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and North America (the band opened for the Rolling Stones on numerous occasions during the North American leg of their tour). The self-made mini-documentary “In Transit” was filmed during the summer tour of Europe. In August 2002, the band headlined the UK’s Carling Weekend festivals for the second time, subsequently playing at New York’s Radio City Music Hall on a bill with the White Stripes . Jack White joined The Strokes on stage to perform the guitar solo on “New York City Cops”. During that period, the band also appeared as musical guests on numerous late-night talk shows. Is This It yielded several singles and music videos, all of which were directed by Roman Coppola .
