White. Jack White.

[Mr. Fuzz]

Sooo. Should I expect a religious experience at his Sasquatch gig? Or are some of these posts exaggerations?
Not a huge fan... but I plan on watching and giving him a fair shake.

What's a god to a nonbeliever?

[Mr. Fuzz]

Maybe it's the zone I'm in but I'd rather hear "Hello Operator" over "Ball & Biscuit".

[Mr. Fuzz]

See them titties @ 3:10

[nathanfairchild]

^ what exactly does that have to do with jack white?

[amyzzz]

Ugh. Go wank off in the Kate Upton thread.

I'm not sure if you are trying to come off as snarky little bitch or if you truly don't get the connection. Jack freestyled the hook to that song during the NYC show. Stick around, you'll catch up.

I took my lady to see Lionel Richie. He is a pimp. He said "I've gotten a few request to sing some hits. But lets face it...if I were to sing all my hits, we'd be here all night". And then he preceeded to sing "All Night Long". Panties were soaked.

You can never take away the fact that Jack White is one fuck of an entertainer so I'm sure he has found a way to make his latest releases somewhat listenable live, I'd watch for a sec and move on to something else.

[dine with a cannibal]

absolute perfection.

[Mr. Fuzz]

Titi, now you're dissing Lionel Richie too. What gives, homie?

[sk8r408]

1. De Stijl
2. the White Stripes
3. White Blood Sells
4. 3L3PHANT
5. GBMS
6. Ecky Thump
7. Blunderbuss
8. Horehound
9. Sea of Cowards
10. Consolers
11. Broken Boy Soldiers

That's my Jack White list at the moment. Changes all the time. Although I love Blunderbuss and it's my most listened to album right now, I don't think I'm ready to put it above any White Stripes.

As far as non-Blunderbuss songs I hope Jack plays on his solo tour, my top 10 picks are be...

You Just Can't Win
Pain (Gimme Sympathy)
Stop Breaking Down
Ball and a Biscuit
Hotel Yorba
Screwdriver
Blue Veins
Do
Little Bird
Instinct Blues

[PlayaDelWes]

The Wiltern shows have got to be some of the most expensive / hardest to get tickets in the history of tickets. Any leads / suggestions are welcomed.

[Spooks]

Jack, stop taking my $$$ away

We'd like to announce a new innovation in the VISUAL ARTS... More appealing on the eyes and intellect then a regular two dimensional poster and not at all irritating like one of those early 90's "Magic Eye" posters... it's the all new new Triple Decker Poster!

The Triple Decker Poster was created, designed and printed by Matthew Jacobson and Bryce McCloud using techniques from both the 15th AND 21st Centuries. It's composed of three separate posters that when combined create an all new poster on it's own... It's kind of a 'fourth wall' inter-dimensional type thing and you're going to want one, two, or all three of these posters. If you haven't already, go to the main page now and see how these posters look, and work together.

THE BLACK POSTER which features a peacock and vulture egg is letterpressed with metallic silver and blue. Jack's logo is laser cut out on the lower right.

THE WHITE POSTER is entirely laser cut, no ink has touched the page. It has a peacock cut out of it as well as Jack White's actual signature/autograph. The logo, is also cut out of the lower right.

THE BLUE POSTER is entirely laser cut as well. It has a vulture cut out of it and Jack's logo in the lower right.

When all three posters are put together it creates Jack's profile and the logo in the lower right is in three colors (one color from each poster).

THE WHITE & BLUE POSTERS will be for sale at The Ryman (75 of each per show)
THE BLACK POSTER will only be for sale here at Third Man today starting at 3pm and tomorrow (75 on Tuesday, 75 on Wednesday).

[PotVsKtl]

Gimmick poster is ugly.

[amyzzz]

Agree with Pot. The peacock by itself to sort of pretty, but all them put together look weird.

[bmack86]

Buzz Aldrin interviewing Jack White. Pleasantly bizarre.

Will Jack break the record tonight in NY?! This is too funny.....

At Jack White's headlining performance in Gulf Shores, Alabama last night, Guinness officials were anxiously awaiting the beginning of Mr. White's concert (the start of which is apparently very difficult to determine stated Guinness Records reps, music being played notwithstanding). They were there so that they could begin the exhausting process of counting each and every metaphor that occurred onstage as Mr. White attempted to break the record of most metaphors in a single concert.

They definitely had a task in front of them as in the first song alone, three officials that were flown in from the Guinness world headquarters in the anteroom of the Salt and Muskrat pub in Tipperary, counted no less than twelve hundred and three metaphors in three minutes.

Some metaphors were lyrical and others came from moments such as lighting changes and even the calm weather itself during the chorus which momentarily had the feel of Grandma's house in winter. By the seventh song alone the hard work led two of the Guinness officials to wander to the catering table, leaving the counting to their partner who, new to the grueling scientific process involved, accidentally counted 312 similes and three mere comparisons.

Metaphors were occurring in the thousands by this point, some coming from the clothing the musicians had on, others from the colors used on one of the microphone cables which were easter candy blue, making the task of counting extremely trivial or at the very least hard work.

Then tragedy struck and the record attempt had to be forfeited by Jack White when during the second half of the set Mr. White trivialized a metaphor by saying it too quickly. It was something about the moon being a faucet of light but was uttered too fast to be counted.

Guinness representatives will return to tomorrow night's show to begin the exhaustive, scientific, and absolutely authoritative and factual process all over again.

[Spooks]

So ready for Round #2 tonight!

^^Excellent...Can't wait till The Wiltern shows

[Spooks]

Seven Nation Army was wonderful....



Dead Leaves....

[Spooks]

Last night, the Peacocks (all female band) played w/ Jack then Los Buzzardos (all male band) joined him for the encore Los Buzzardos' played on the side stage (VIP section) for the encore...

So Night 1 gets incredible drummer, incredible keyboardist and the best Raconteurs single.

Night 2 gets incredible backing vocalists, the best cut from the new album (the single) and 3 or 4 more songs than night 1....

Night 2 wins in my opinion!

Oh well, oh well

[bmack86]

Ooo, Black Math!

[TheImportance]

The first night was incredible! Love the new arrangement for Black Math and Cut Like a Buffalo and I liked the solo stuff, but Catch Hell Blues really stole the show! I was never a big fan of that song, but wow does it sound amazing live. I'm pretty jealous about the second night getting both bands and The Hardest Button to Button, but I wouldn't trade Hello Operator and his Hank Williams cover.

[rage patton]

Holy shit. That night 2 setlist is beyond impressive. I want that exact fucking setlist. I am so excited for the show this Sunday.
