The Raconteurs - Intimate Secretary

[@christiancartmale1150]

they could not possibly have nailed this song any better than they did this day.

[@geoffnickles4527]

Awesome solo by Jack. The man is a legend!

[@BubbaZen10]

Now that looks like it would have been a great show to be at.

[@SG13232]

This is a genius song

[@gregoryseager9191]

Why is Brendon not a bigger star. I love Jack but think Benson needs more credit.

[@grouchomarx2903]

Epic. That's all that needs to be said.

[@allycat3171]

One of my fave raconteurs songs. Really unique and cool.

[@leiposuctie]

nobody knows that this song is about freemasons? intimate secretary is a rank within freemasons, and all the imagery in the song has something to do with Freemasons. jack has a lot of their images and symbols on his albums aswell, he wears a mason ring too....could explain his rise to fame, but it could just as well be his amazing sick freakish talent......and although jack has been my hero since i first heard him play, i always thought the Freemason stuff was questionable...song rocks though:P

[@gabriele5131]

Best band ever

[@deekay629]

your absolutely right, from now on i will use perfect grammar, so that no one will notice me. thanks for the social help, you've really changed my life.

[@jukawizard]

Too good to believe!

[@warc]

Where can I see these guys live at? LOL I AM DYING to see them live, and when is their new album coming out? LOL

[@RockandRoll2525]

I think it was one of their first performances they played. Pretty amazing.

[@v11drummer]

this is awesome.

[@thenameisbond]

great performance!

[@rkg77]

The harmonies on this and the rhythm of it-- I think it reminds me of the Beatles' song Rain. They have great influences. Also: Jack White REALLY understands blues (real blues), which I respect him for so much.

[@dahfshx]

love the lyrics!

[@jonnyBB3B]

Thats a mint tune!!! What a rush!!

[@RockandRoll2525]

@celeocanth The lyrics make sense if you understand the really complex meaning of this song. Bob Dylan is probably dancing in his house, seeing that he is alive and is a big fan of Jack White.

[@RockandRoll2525]

Yes, it's amazing.

[@RockandRoll2525]

@gunslinger6363 Well, who knows. It's hard to get noticed in the music industry these days. But all of these musicians have their own bands and have their own fan base.

[@bassmanmb4]

With all the mass marketed bs that is forced into your ears these days, it's nice to know that Rock-n-Roll is still alive and well via this group of players!!!! The best band in years!

[@DeathWrench]

The solo made my face tingle >:O awesome.. .XD

[@8hellcat]

Song of the night. The Raconteurs, Intimate Secretary.

[@RockandRoll2525]

I'm not sure where you are getting your information. But it was recorded the same way as BBS but in a studio. ANd this is actually more truely a raconteurs record. THe first one Jack and Brendan wrote then got Jack Lawrence and Patrick Keeler to join in on. THis one they wrote while together on tour and after all their styles had melted. Jack's still usuing the same guitars and effects and everything. Besides a trumpet on like a few songs, it's just a regular Jack White recorded album.

[@katuszikimmo]

THE Raconteurs = THE GOD

[@tedkay_music]

Yeah Awesome

[@Wildbear9]

this is amzing! it's like 50000000 times better then the album version ( wich was like, awesome.)

[@jheiliger]

Love the "horror" lighting...

[@RockandRoll2525]

Yeah, I saw the Greenhornes open for the stripes in 05 and I just stared at patrick amazed the whole time. I had no idea who they were at the time.

[@LillyCandyCane]

lol i love 'he is on fire' mick jagger is awesome. so is jack though :D lots and lots actually so is brendan and lil jack and patrick... all of em haha

[@cccolo]

Q buena banda!

[@Freindlyghost88]

Why is the crowd not moving?! Such an awesome performance, how can they be still with them playing like that?

[@themongoose4592]

excellent

[@celeocanth]

@ak1nney lol i was waiting for the first person to tell me that dylan wasn't dead. what is the complex meaning to the song, anyway?

[@RockandRoll2525]

I hope that means amazing, cause if so, I agree.

[@trentdavid23]

freaking awesome! and meg is a good drummer. she has role that some people just don't understand. its a detroit simple grunge sound.

[@Aiur]

This is the dude from the afghan wigs drumming

[@RockandRoll2525]

@celeocanth I can't sit and explain it very well at all, but if you google it some or find some forums, a lot of people believe it has to do with freemasons and stuff of that sort. I have a basic understanding of the song, but I can't begin to explain it without messing it up or confusing someone. So I guess if you want to know, search search search, if not, just enjoy the melodies and great music like a lot of people probably do haha.

[@warc]

@bgerch23 Agreed, I love the solo on this live version.

[@BiscuitsJoe]

no I looked it up. It is a guild aristocrat. on higer quality videos you can even see that it says guild on the headstock.

[@maestromeister]

100% agree

[@CrispyLlamasMedia]

I was talking about how old the live performance. People were saying that it sucks because it isn't a more recent concert. I'm "Area55smom" by the way lol

[@melbatunes]

@indierickenbacker lost it's "70's vibe" but too "Zeppliny"???!! Make up your fucking mind. Anyway, this rocks!!!

[@IWasBored12]

I love both records, what I liked least about the second album though, was the horn arrangement, they seemed to drown out the guitar on some songs. Don't get me wrong, I love the album, but the horns bug me. I need the suit Jack is wearing in this.

[@IWasBored12]

@underpuka YES, PLEASE

[@BiscuitsJoe]

what kind of guitar is brendan benson playing?

[@phreak89]

I understand. I've just been hearing the phrase "it's old" referring to music in a very negative way a lot lately (even though I know yours wasn't negative) and I just don't get it and I guess after reading your comment I felt like going off on a little rant about it. Yeah Zep is awesome and I also listen artists like Charlie Parker who is an old jazz sax player from the 40's and early 50's so...rock on man!

[@dgendron12383]

underpuka this is my second favorite afeter consoler of the lonely please give me it, Thanks

[@gonde21]

"The lyrics make sense if you understand the really complex meaning of this song." Explain it PLEASE (im from germany my english isnt the best)?!?!

[@RockandRoll2525]

less overdrive? This sounds very good. And the new album is too clean and shiny? They use very good raw, great guitar on it.

[@nirvanamario]

@SATNAV123456 sirieus you even can't figure that out on your own?

[@lpage2112]

hell yea! dean fertita on keys!

[@RockandRoll2525]

No problem.

[@RockandRoll2525]

Yeah I don't get it, I can never find my videos!

[@sheepers411]

Meg isn't Jack's sister. But yes, you are very right.

[@dgendron12383]

this song is great jack white is so original

[@underpuka]

i have this on mp3 if you want i give via msn

[@xKinseh]

Yeah, that's what kinda gets me. I'm sure she's gotten to be quite the drummer, since she's been playing for like, over 10 years now.

[@underpuka]

i have this d you want it?

[@algrand90]

I FUCKIN AGREE WITH YOU

[@jackwhitefanatic]

no, i heard that Jack White doesn't do any crap like that, beleive it or not.. he said so himself in an interview.. so glad for that

[@CrispyLlamasMedia]

Okay maybe people weren't saying it sucks...I posted that comment a long while ago. I'm sure I meant even though its an old performance it is awesome. A lot of people think bands suck live when they start off. What I said had nothing to do with age. Zeppelin still rocks and they are old. I have no judgement on age.

[@petersktet]

@MrSeaPanda you could never have claypool in such a setup, because he's so huge by himself :) else cool setup :)

[@biketourist60]

@joshkaSSS1 I was thinking the same thing!

[@Electforguitaar]

If Jack wasn't in this band, it wouldn't be the Raconteurs. It would be something entirely different. Probably still phenomenal...but definitely not the same.

[@sanlenispe]

jack white got it! the Raconteurs got it!!

[@killerqueendopamine]

okay, was this like their first gig ever? seriously.

[@ev1342]

saying this feels like blasphemy, but damn... jack looks pretty good in blue

[@MayorsOffice881]

As good as Consolers of the Lonely is, there is no way it can match Broken Boy Soldiers (with all due respect)

[@tomkts07]

OMFG i can hear little jacks voice

[@Het81]

yeah, I saw the second album as the logical progression the band would take as a whole. I loved this album but still considered the Raconteurs a side project, and didnt really care if they did another one. I actually liked the second Raconteurs album more than Blue Orchid or Icky Thump though and now I kind of see the Stripes as the secondary group. They both still kick all kinds of ass though.

[@RockandRoll2525]

And they didn't make this record to market it to anyone, if you know stuff about the band... they recorded the album and put it out two weeks after it was finished so that the fans could have it. No promotion or anything. Your facts and stuff on this band and album are really far off. I respect your opinion tho.

[@MayorsOffice881]

It may be me, but it seems like I'm alot of "Jack White is amazing" or "Jack White is god". And although he is incredible, and one of my idols, it's time I do this. Ladies and gentlemen.... Brendan Benson.

[@cnmaster01]

he probably also appereciates playing a good guitar and having a bassist while he's at the raconteurs are his overindulgence

[@phreak89]

While I agree with you, I never understood why people think something being old might make it bad. I've heard this a lot lately and it kinda pisses me off. I don't think age plays any role in the quality of music. I listen to jazz from the 40's, modern rock and everything in between and find most all of it amazing and never thought about when it was created just that it was created.

[@TheRacboys]

"I got an uncle but he got shot" Holy crap.

[@thestevenking]

TURN JACK UP

[@guitarman9526]

It's a Guild Aristrocat I think.

[@deekay629]

i guess the term dirt isnt as widely accepted as i thought yes it means good he is a very good drummer

[@pepe7drum]

@ak1nney indeed

[@rkg77]

(Blue Veins is a great blues.)

[@Analikesit]

@Hellfire2120 I wish I was Jack White at the end of this

[@Sirinwara]

@ak1nney Fuck, that was hilarious... :D

[@sanlenispe]

jack is so cool!!! i thinck that he's the new rock star, before them was kurt cobain

[@ConquestStripes]

Brendan gets hugs from Jack. Why don't I?

[@BrianPhase90]

lots of Masonic references in this tune!

[@jaeatyet]

it's a brand of intelligence that attracts attention

[@Balinas123]

You have no idea what her purpose is then. The tribal beat. Without her simple beats, the white stripes would never be. Sometimes simple things are more than meet the eye. Dig deeper.

[@eliwamo]

@lyla40s Don't be stupid. They're not the new anything, they're completely new. If anyone is the new Beatles... it's Weezer, haha

[@ZUBISTOOL]

@heket789 haha that camera operator was a woman xD

[@wolfyk95]

You do know that Bob Dylans alive, and a fan of Jack right?

[@Hellfire2120]

I wish I was Brendan Benson at the end of this vid.

[@xKinseh]

She's not technically good. But she helps makes the minimalist sound of the White Stripes what it is.

[@celeocanth]

i got a rabbit it likes to hop...i got a pen but i lost the top... bob dylan must be shaking in his grave

[@ukrambleon]

Yes to the audio. No to the visuals. 🤪

[@MayorsOffice881]

***I'm seeing alot of Jack White..."***

[@RockandRoll2525]

Are you serious? The second album is equally if not better. You have to give it a fair amount of listens. But everyone has their opinion.

[@courtnallaframboise4852]

even tho hes still alive lol

[@Grungejunkie101]

im a teenager too man i just dont see what the point of slang is... other that to attract attention. Ive seen comments that said neil pert was a terrible drummer and i almost cut the guys head off...

[@MsDaifan]

hehe

[@RockandRoll2525]

No, we're not an intimate secretary.
