[@baconmasterXD]

I feel like in the light of Jack's glory it's easy to forget how awesome the rest of the band is. I mean just listen to them!

[@Zas379]

That is how every band should take the stage.

[@saltedpork461]

the beginning of this song live is so boss...

[@MissZepp]

The catchiest tune in a long while!! I love how Jack plays like he doesn't give a shit...badass

[@ChrisyMcCullagh83]

Everything jack white touches turns to gold. The man is solid. Looked like one of THE shows to have been at. Great band they are, quality harmonies from the Sherifs of Rockingham.

[@aldualma]

somebody please stop this, WHY, WHY DOES EVERY FUCKING SONG HAVE TO BE SO GOOD? it makes me wanna cry cause i never saw them live (them including all other jack white's bands...)

[@deathtrack15]

I love the way how their vocals alternate

[@wavefunnel123]

Jack starts singing crowd goes wild, the other guy starts singing no one screams. Some shared appreciation would be nice. Lmao

[@shopliftingisonlycutewheng2278]

Lol “the other guy”

[@hansTowns]

Yea, calling Jack by his name and then saying 'the other guy' doesnt get the appreciation he deserves hahah. Something with pot and kettle...

[@otavio048]

oh yes, my favorite band, jack white and those other guys

[@EdgarMorrisandTheDead]

Brendon benson

[@MyNameIsFredFuchs]

@@EdgarMorrisandTheDead much better songwriter than Jack, guitarist not so much

[@Frostwolf017]

I like how Jack waits to make his 'entrance' before turning to the audience.

[@LucasAlvesMusic]

its so that he and the drummer are in sync

[@PandemoniumPirateRadio]

It's also fucking badass ;)

[@alexbachman6309]

its awesome

[@citizenk20]

jack white's voice is flawless

[@BaileysMariner]

He's a rock star. If he's not tired, he's not doing it right!

[@thedistillers27]

I wish I could experience one hour of what it must feel to play like that on stage.

[@erictranvouez8592]

Ces mecs créaient un " rock&roll masterpiece", une parfaite synthèse-express de l'histoire récente, du blues au métal. J'suis vieux, j'adore!

[@BuckysKnifeFlip]

Brenden Benson and Jack White are my freakin heroes!!

[@Thomaspwgy]

Great musicians! They are one of the best live bands in the US if not the best!

[@grantmcgilberry]

I love it how the crown starts cheering once Jack starts singing.

[@volkov4608]

Seven people are lonely and have noone to console them

[@hownotto6733]

now 15 lol

[@gambrosino]

to everyone saying hes going downhill honestl i think is one of his best songs in a long time

[@Rockin88Keyz]

AWESOME song!! I love how they can play just as good or better live than they can on their albums!

[@becksy9999]

..Keeler man.....me favourite drummer man...

[@jdpvader88]

jack white is the best riff-writer of all time. its insane

[@AmericanofTruth]

best live performance i've seen of anything

[@punkdude543]

November 13th, my life will be complete after seeing these men.

[@villain3131]

I love this band ! 🇨🇦

[@absta100]

Best track ❤

[@BassString17]

i love these guys. great song

[@butlerbulldogs05]

damn.......i'm glad i was born in the mid 90s to hear this as a teenager

[@faltat2]

i went to there concert in july! i caught jack whites drumstick!!!

[@Samstrat94]

I saw them in cornwall the next day so they must have travelled alot. Thinking about the traffic coming out of glastonbury must be an absolute nightmare!

[@ickythumper99]

yup. new raconteurs record, white stripes record and a jack white solo album going to be released in 2010. can't wait !!

[@BiscuitsJoe]

that intro guitar lick is so rockin! does anyone else think the lyrics are a reference to 1984 when Winston is in the Ministry of Love? Like Benson is singing Winstons part and Jack is O'Brian? cuz if you think about it, it would certainly make sense.

[@cr1pb1tch]

I completely agree with you.

[@TheRealCaticusFinch]

Jack, the bassist, and BB are in dead weather, Jack is the drummer(i think) but they still play as the Raconteurs, they are making an album

[@JandFfilms]

jack white is so used to vibing off his drummer from being wat hes known to be in the white stripes, the raconteurs are excellent tho. the whole time hes at his amp and looking at his drummer aha. jack white is a legend

[@mrmindstorms]

I JUST MUST SEE THEM LIVE!

[@Remcoowtje]

amazing song!

[@absta100]

love Brendan and the other lads 🙌🏼

[@beatpoet54]

Brendan just seems to be kicking ass on this one

[@swedenboy10]

BEST BAND EVER

[@JoeyRamone129]

@ickythumper99 He is?!?! I didn't know!!! I absolutely LOVE Jack White!! Thx!!!!

[@Fredrockroll]

You know, a guy once said that Jack White was better than Chuck Norris, and the next day... nothing happened, because Chuck Norris agrees with him.

[@PwnageGravy]

...and that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you make an entrance.

[@ApacheLabel]

i think it sounds great.

[@crazychaosB]

@KJFilmProductions that guy on bass makes you feel like that because he just cant be human...hes BADASS!

[@ChimpDotCom]

wow i didnt realise i posted so many comments. shows u how much i like this song.

[@STUNTS1516]

fucking amazing i love how they just come right out and dive into it!

[@pulpero666]

this band has the best look ever.

[@whateverbrouette007]

glasto , best festival .

[@samiraboulhais7]

CARTON TOTAL: J'ADOOORE!!!!

[@Ylviste]

To do that for a living, I mean god how awesome is that.

[@EvigMunk]

God damn, it's too friggin badass!

[@Stdstr]

This is why Jack White put together all the best rock & roll and made himself a legend. Hendrix & Beatles were n the 60's, Zeppelin and Dylan in the 70', (80's is blank bc was shit for rock), Nirvana, Radiohead in 90's, White Stripes/Jack in 2000's

[@CJKOOLGUY]

The White Stripes are gonna release a 7th album towards the end of this year.

[@bischke]

Saying that this is uninspired stuff is bullshit man his compositions are genious

[@robinmccready]

theyre best song! i was there ::D

[@karli0111]

this is ROCK

[@were65were]

Yes it is

[@DinosaurSoda]

I saw them in London, they weren't so good then, they are deffo playing their songs better now :) But don't worry, I'm sure they will be back to the UK soon for a proper tour.

[@shusterme]

2:15 jack giving some sympathy

[@Maynard0504]

Jack Lawrence is too cool for this world.

[@mrbling5]

god you can so tell that the crowd were waiting for jack to start he just turned around and sang and the crowd piped up

[@cleonail]

lol the doll on a stick at 3:00, genius

[@jonny1251]

Benson rocking a 52' Tele = SWEET

[@edvard5undquist]

i love how jack has his back towards the crowd all until 1:47

[@Mc66654]

LJ is beast in this video

[@ickythumper99]

@wernerkonings Never got done. he's been busy with producing other bands and going to play on conan's show and helping his wife produce her album and going on tour with The Dead Weather. He's gotta be the busiest man in the music industry.

[@DTitz331]

jack said theyre in the studio recording new music in February so hopefully soon.

[@GarfildV7]

Darian Ehya yeah, about that...

[@bengui9749]

At least it was worth the wait

[@oopsadaze]

Best BAND JACK White Has Been Associated with since his Sis Meg/White Stripes

[@ickythumper99]

@beadlingboy140 He's the Elvis of our time.

[@ChimpDotCom]

yes i expect that is what happened. people are always doing that to each other :)

[@RockandRoll2525]

They are together, just alternate in between bands. Usually bring out a new record every two years.

[@littleroom333]

Holy crap! Jack white is HOT!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to see him again in Sept!

[@zigzagjoe69]

wow I was there I am the chosen 1

[@MAGICOmagique]

3:22... this girl represents exactly how I feel

[@DinosaurSoda]

Yeah I wish I could had been there too because they played great, but 2 problems, too many people and short sets :( so i think it's best people save their money and go see them twice on the proper tour :)

[@MrKaden1217]

Brendan is the best!!!!!!!!

[@jonaflynn74]

I always that jack sang this song

[@EmJCruz]

No new Raconteurs record. Brendan said he hasn't even talked to those guys in a long time. :(

[@NateKantnerMusic]

Help! My stank face is stuck!

[@hansTowns]

600 votes on this vid and 0.3% doesnt like it... that says it all i think? btw i love the tempo changes at 00:39 & 02:23 !

[@hansTowns]

I totally agreed with this comment and then saw it was mine from 8 years ago... still enyoing this badass song and version!

[@emptykay]

That's ridiculous usernamesucks. You must not have seen him live. I've been to stripes shows that rocked my ass off, but Jack w/ the raconteurs at Lolla this year was just as good. When he starts playing that guitar, no matter who he's with, jaws drop and all eyes are on him. No no my friend, Jack is bigger than ever.

[@DinosaurSoda]

Yep, thats what he uses :) and like loads of other pedals, theres some photos on the web.

[@Kaztetu102]

最高

[@karli0111]

jack is so consentrated on the music

[@Floydette99]

Being a Glastonbury veteran and a member of the over 50 CD buying public, I think this band are top draw! I've seen the likes of Floyd, Zeppelin, The Who, Stones, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Rush and Genesis in their heydays so I know what I'm talking about! :)

[@7jhammond]

@robsmale yes and yes!

[@UGoTDZeZ]

now thats how you enter the stage =)

[@ChimpDotCom]

mi computers spaccin up so it makes this cool juddery effect a bit like on salute your solution video

[@WhisperingAnthem]

Check out the 'ALRIGHT, TIME TO ROCK' look that jack gave keeler at 1:45. Awesome performers. Then he explodes into the mic.

[@ickythumper99]

@blinkmeblazer182 He said in a recent interview that he and meg had already gotten some things recorded... i think he's just waiting until he's done touring with The Dead Weather...

[@TheSchoolsux345]

yeah man he dresses fuckin awesome to me

[@robYCFC]

it's a custom made Gretsch "Triple Jet"

[@234addict]

@3Nerdy yeah man my ears did ha

[@jackfender24]

brendon benson is a sexy beast!

[@wernerkonings]

@ickythumper99 Which one is the jack white solo album??

[@LCardoso17]

Nice way to star a concert

[@bnapoleonc123]

Ahh, so you mean the music they come on stage too before they start off? THAT is different, I read your comment as meaning thier music in general is strange, which I dont think it is cause it just a continuation of classic rock. My apologies, Ok, I am not sure, i think that is just a little intro jam thing they do, they also did it on a couple of other vids before perforing this song, to my knowledge it isn't a song as such.

[@ickythumper99]

@BowlboKhabra92 Thanks! Yup. Exciting :D

[@zigzagjoe69]

GO BRENDAN

[@7jhammond]

@7jhammond my dream is to visit this festival before I die!!!!!!
