Member Review: Jack White

BackstagePassDirect member Mudhen writes:

I've been a fan of Jack White since I first heard White Blood Cells. You just knew straight away, listening to that album, that they were going to have a massive impact.

Tonight, Jack White immediately had the crowd on its feet. Opening the show with The White Stripes' "Dead Leaves and The Dirty Ground," the song set the pace for the night- loud, high-energy rock.

White played songs from all of his collaborations, as well as solo hits. Fans of The Dead Weather were treated to "I Cut Like a Buffalo," while The Raconteurs "Top Yourself" and "Steady, as She Goes" were also crowd favorites. Songs off Jack White's new album, Blunderbuss, and hits from his White Stripes days dominated most of the set. Noticeably absent was radio hit "Love Interruption." Solo songs "Sixteen Saltines" and "Trash Tongue Talker" were well received by the audience, who also went crazy for The White Stripes' "My Doorbell" and "We Are Going Be Friends."

The evening was split into two sets, both lasting nearly an hour. Jack White never lost energy and rarely stopped to speak with the audience, other than to introduce a new song or his five-piece band. He focused some of his set on covers of country and blues classics, adding his own twist to Hank Williams "You Know That I Know" and Howlin' Wolf's "300 Pounds of Heavenly Joy." White closed down the first evening with the folk standard "Goodnight, Irene."

In person, JW couldn't be more different than his stage persona, which was a relief. He's calm and extremely polite – in a kind of Southern gentleman way. But on the subject of rock'n'roll his Detroit roots come out, there's a real punk attitude at work. The thing that surprised me most was just how funny he is. He's got a sharp sense of humor. And a very high-pitched laugh.
