"I remember Brad Holland, the drummer from Whirlwind Heat, saw the camera and he was like, 'Whoa - analogue!' I didn't really know the difference between digital and film then."
Harris, a big fan of the band, said the show was "fun" but many of the children didn't know who The White Stripes were.
"It was a bit more special because I was helping out. Lots of the kids didn't really know what was happening - they were almost indifferent. Some of them were dancing along, but lots of the children seemed to just be sitting there.
"The teachers were really excited, I remember that, getting things signed and the like."
The show has never been released on DVD until now, when White announced it would be given to record club fans as part of Third Man Records' Vault series.
But fans can see the performance in a one-off, free screening at Real Groovy Records on Queen Street on June 28 at 7pm.
The White Stripes broke up last year after recording six albums together. It was rumoured drummer Meg White no longer wanted to tour.
