Jack White

[JacquelineS]

Just got back from Shaky Knees Festival and Jack White's set was amazing! I was happy with how the new stuff mixed in with old and Jack was there to rock it out. I had exceptionally good tickets so was at the front of the crowd for everything and from my perspective the crowd was with him. It was fast paced and energetic.  (I read a complaint on the Shaky Knees FB site that the crowd sucked and Jack sucked. The complainer must have been at someone else's concert I dunno. His other complaint was how much of the new stuff there was which is just short sighted on said  reviewers part in my opinion. )

I am going to post this against my better judgement as fan made videos have pretty sucky sound. Please if you need to move this thread elsewhere do so.

I haven't listened to the new album much yet but I'll get around to it. He's one of those artists that can do no wrong imo. I'm sure someone will be along shortly to point out how dissapointing his pyramid set was a few years ago but it waas early in the day which is a tough slot to play.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Eh? He was second down the bill.

To be fair they did nail the disappointing bit though.

[Madyaker]

Haha my bad I wasn't there that year!

[CaledonianGonzo]

You lucky bastard

[JacquelineS]

Well guys, he did burn up the stage at Shaky knees. ?

[CaledonianGonzo]

I suppose at least we were spared the prospect of him rapping.

[WS_Jack_III]

How were the visuals? I've heard he has them this tour and that seems very interesting for his act. 

 

I love visuals so i can't wait for June to see them with this new show.

[JacquelineS]

Well, there is this. ?

[thewayiam]

A Glastonbury return is surely on the cards.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Not if we strengthen the fence and double the security it isn't.

 That's cool!

Other stage headliner would be good I think. Or is he too big for that now? I don;t think he is. He's definitely not a Pyramid headliner anyway.

I think he would be if he could get Meg back and was billed as The White Stripes (the irony is that his shows seems to be mostly Stripes stuff anyway)

I was surprised to see tickets for his Hammersmith shows still available.

[Madyaker]

Yeah the stuff he did with her is still the best stuff he's done by a margin but I think a stripes reunion will never happen as much as id love to see it.

Would love to have him back headlining Other. That last set was definitely an anomaly for me - he's smashed it every other time I've seen him.

Because they're 60-effing quid.

Good decision

Question for big White Stripes fans, not that I think for a second this'll happen, but would a gig billed as The White Stripes with a different drummer than Meg be less enjoyable than an actual White Stripes gig with her? 

[Madyaker]

I don't think he could call it The Whiter Stripes without meg being involved. Well, he could but I don't think he would.

Yes. Hypothetically their aesthetic and live dynamic could be replicated but it’d be a weird and disrespectful thing to do.

The Whiter Stripes? Is that their supremacist tribute act?

He does have a female drummer with him now. My first thought, "shades of Meg".
