When your against two twin reverb amplifiers I’m pretty sure it’s the only way to be heard at all lol

[@ryeinaldobettahavmamony7656]

This is what rock is supposed to be, messy, loud, chaotic and a whole lotta soul.

[@iainfleming2853]

Amen to that

[@mavjimbo]

Sounds like the story of my life , lol

[@colshay-nb2bf]

I would have ROCKED MY HEAD OFF 😎❤️

[@patton303]

This is like the old band practice days when there’s no mics on the amps and drums. Just everybody competing for batshit crazy volume.

[@opppopp2322]

aka fun?

[@SmilingAtheist]

Sure does! Usually the drummer would win depending on the amps the bass and guitar player had at that time too. Lol.

[@teleman2157]

Isn’t that how it should be. That’s why I traded my AC4 for a Marshall

[@Tom-uw2ok]

Fuck yeah. Those were the days

Right he’s soo damn cool! He set the bar for really cool

[@dynjarren8355]

Thank you Jack White for keeping Rock alive and exciting! It’s exactly this kind of gig that will do it. Nothing can replace the live show and especially when it’s up close on the street like this! Leave it to JW to innovate constantly! And second, that’s a cool guitar! 🎸 And of course, this was before the damn pandemic and hopefully, we’ll get back to live shows soon! 👏🏻😎🎸

[@ellanjeranek173]

This was at a tire store on Colfax Ave in Lakewood, right outside Denver. He was playing at Red Rocks that night and people were notified via his web site. Five miles from my house and I missed it.

[@tbeat03]

the blue Jack doesn't have that intensity of the Red one

[@CaptainAMAZINGGG]

HAHAHA yeah i totally prefer red jack. And so do my ovaries. why did he have to take the blue pill :/ hehe

copper jack is kinda in between the red and the blue one

[@Nergal_Slayer]

They duking killed it. I got some serious Goose bumps. Even downloaded the thing.

[@Rezz88mk4]

As a consummate pro performer, Jack skillfully continues without letting the annoyance of the mic not working initially affect his performance. Bravo, the man's a living legend... I on the other hand would like to just vent my personal frustration about it on Jack's behalf... AAAAAAGH! F***ING MIC'S NOT WORKING! FOR F*** SAKE MAN! WHO DID THE F***ING SOUND CHECK?! OF ALL THE F***ING THINGS TO HAPPEN! YOU GOTTA BE F***ING KIDDING ME MAAAN! ... Haahh, feel better now and all is right with the world again.

[@greengiant9739]

Freakin awesome....true to the core... One of my favorites of the day . .. this guy keeps the spirit alive ,,..rock on brother ...

[@jdb89142]

I doubt any one got fired, Jack has admitted he likes mistakes he likes having a battle and a struggle on stage, he does it purposely sometimes, its real not some mega rehearsed robotic same shit everytime show, like most do

[@clemdog76]

The most hipster comment I’ve ever heard... yeah bands that rehearse suck.

[@yellowbelly7863]

@@clemdog76 stop projecting dude. The show is cool. Mistakes and unrehersed music kicks walls in. Punk wouldn't be here if music couldn't be raw and gritty.

[@clemdog76]

@@yellowbelly7863 in my day when the general population had common sense, we musicians referred to it as ‘improvised’ music not ‘unrehearsed’. That’s where there is a common core of the song that is REHEARSED but left open for players to express themselves freely on the fly. No such artists at the caliber of Jack White just jams unrehearsed... hipster bs.

I just stumbled upon this video. I didn’t deserve to. Must have been electric live.

[@scotty6124]

Wonder how many people are actually listening to this amazingly raw music as opposed to just filming it.

[@opppopp2322]

how would you watch it?

[@wessmithp5560]

Fortunately for us u can do both now;)

[@daydreams4rock]

excatly - this is just a show for video ... souds good but look there is a slide guitarist and bass killing it ... not all Jack

[@marqueemark5174]

Saw him live in 2014. He had the same drummer and one of the guitarists. It was on of the best shows I've ever seen in my life. My first festival, my first headliner, and my first concert other than small bar gigs. It was amazing!

[@dre6289]

In Houston maybe?

[@mavjimbo]

What a great memory

[@satellitenation]

I love the drumming in this version, lots of swing

[@MrStevemcwilliam]

I absolutely love this tune, by far the best musician arround right now. He does impromptu gigs every now and again. I was proper gutted I miss him at 3rd man records when he came to the UK.

[@stimpsonhoek7460]

Haha everyones being douche bags to the people with cameras... How do you think this video got here for us to enjoy.

[@brianpatrick6102]

All the douchebags are all parrots and sheep. "Jack doesnt like cameras so we dont either!!" Thank god my Mother gave me the 'if he told you to junp off a bridge...' speech when I was a kid. :)

[@gordonbgraham]

OK for those of us not at the event. Those at the event should actually be at the event

[@ckelley63]

[@TheArcticBuckley]

Dude, I'm so happy to live in the same time as mister White, those B shows looks OUTSTANDING, thank you my friend for those upload!

[@drlp9196]

great quality - thanks for posting. this is by far my favorite Jack White tune. best thing about this song are the subtle differences every time he plays it live - as he does with all his live performance. new JW album is great. both bands are great - but prefer the all girl band. that drummer is sick! see if you can find the song from 9/30/12 show to see what i mean. rock on Jack white! please keep the good stuff coming!

[@hellagood73king38]

The hardest working sign in the music business. LoL!

[@mikeroti296]

🤔....BOTH. 👍

[@davidantolinez23]

Still missing Meg... Anyway, the important thing is that a grammy-award, top list artist like Jack White is a real artist. I do not maen it because he plays blues with no-computers involved, through that is right, I refer to the fact that a guy who sells a lot and can move masses to stadiums, does a show in Denver in the very street. No shite, no ticket selling, no publicity, no fooling around. The ones who were there, are very lucky. RESPECT for Jack White, still raw and powerfull. I love his idea of music.

[@dee_gee_bee6072]

David Antolinez Except for the fact that Meg was just there? He is exceptional around any other musician and solo. Meg was sub par at best and that’s only because Jack taught her basic rhythmic blues to keep a beat (and let’s be honest, she wasn’t great at that). I get your point though. I’m not knocking you by any means. I miss “The White Stripes”. I’m also glad Jack had a chance to evolve and not become “The White Stripes” only. Please don’t take this the wrong way!

[@InverseAgonist]

Making music without a computer isn't some badge of honor. Jack relies on all kinds of analog tricks with his guitars and pedals to get a certain kind of sound. Other musicians use synthesizers and DAW's to do the same thing. It's all skill, it's all creativity, they are all artists.

[@user-jv7gr1jb3r]

@@InverseAgonist you’re only a true musician when all the electricity dies That’s why ghosts wail and the living scream in fear.

[@howdy7375]

@@user-jv7gr1jb3r ain’t that the truth. It’s not some weird magic that an acoustic guitar and a tambourine can make a better jam than every synth and pedal known to man. It’s about soul and additude, passion and talent, and most of all, true love for the art

[@dre6289]

I saw Jack white once at this old theater in Louisiana for 30 bucks. A steal in my opinion. No phones allowed. It was an old school venue that had some rock and roll historical significance that he wanted to honor by playing there and keeping attendance alive. He's a class act.

[@johnmuster9216]

That was some transcendent shit right there. Amen amen!

Jack White actually is one of the best musicians of our time and it´s not even me saying that but guys like Jimmy Page and many more.

[@spindrift2009]

His Technical guitar skills are just ok, and that shows its not all about technical skills. It’s more about musicianship, creativity, edge, improv, and he’s got it!!!!!!! This is just 12 bar blues. But way more interesting than almost anything I’ve heard!

[@JamesSpeiser]

[@matthewevans3718]

Anton Newcombe tho

[@andrewdacunto9646]

Agree

[@jlongobardy1612]

Who's this Jimmy Page fellow to whom you allude? Is his opinion about the rock music genre and contemporary musicians more important than mine? I think not. And since you have with your comment solicited my judgment on the issue of Jack White's ability relative to other people in the musicmaking business, I have a few definitive things to say. But I shall keep them to myself. You shouldve come to me first for guidance instead of that random Page fellow.

[@remzialioglou6624]

Hey great video and sound quality man!!thnx a bunch :D

[@johnwilson4158]

used to live on the mighty Colfax ave by the blue bunny. stomped up and down there . walked right by this tire store . could not drive no car. I never dreamed JW would play there. but it makes sense now . tires are for the most part round. and this performance at this tire store is a "revolution" metaphorical speaking. pure absolutely genius.
