14/15 years later had to come back to this💯

[@vbaranovich]

17 years and counting...

[@bender316]

I love how Jack sings songs in female voices without changing the lyrics. He does the same in the White Stripes cover of Jolene.

[@fbmilk]

one of the best bands i've ever seen live they're so god damn intense

[@ivaleyendo1079]

They recently came to Argentina for the first time. It was the best day of my life. I still cry when i listen to them and remember it

[@FancyTophatDude]

this is what true emotion sounds like. it's not about hitting every note perfectly, not about singing a song 100% as it was intended to be. it's about anger, desperation, sadness and expressing all of that in the most powerful way possible. that's what makes jack, what makes this band, not only raconteurs but artists as well.

[@championette..]

EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID!! ❤️

[@marsimus13]

He’s so special

[@rarefaith2734]

Oh boy you're right, you should totally check my lyrics (on youtube) or my posts (on instagram/twitter). Ibet you'll like my philosophy or art

[@akelauntouchable7848]

Where do I download the song

[@cemeterysnotscared]

the point is that he just cant sing the songs even 60%, he just goes straight raw emotion and guts.

[@marcosgonzalezliano2712]

Thats one of the most amazing covers of all time, they changed the song into their own style but has the same feeling as the original.

[@ThrashAnDash]

Marcos Gonzalez Liaño listen to the kaleo cover

[@natalkabala]

the white stripes' cover of jolene is truly mindblowing as well

[@wandabagley4783]

As far as I'm concerned..The Raconteurs did it! so badass!!!!!!!!!!! Don't care who done it before.

[@cnnsln2546]

I love it how he says "he was black and I was white" instead of "he wore black and I wore white". such a nice Jack White-y detail

[@archivaltea3403]

This cover is about the secret relationship between Jack Black and Jack White.

[@slavorshini8782]

Buralardan bir türk geçmiş vay be

[@mesuchang]

I absolutely love the way Jack puts his heart into the music.

[@katrevilla]

I watch this every month. So brilliant

[@ragnarokisnow]

Damn Jack Lawrence is such an underrated bass player. HIs riffs are so simple but they always high light the main chords so perfectly.

[@emmapapadaki]

The coordination is just outstanding.

[@MyRecordingRoom]

Almost has a Led Zeppelin feel to it. Love it!

[@jomajsable]

Until I listened to this, I didn't believe you could literally get goosebumps from music. Amazing:)

[@rickwagner3797]

That's when you know the song is something special. Closest thing to magic we have

[@judithlustig75]

It is absolutely unbelievable how The Raconteurs did this song. It was one of my favorites I was obsessed with growing up and could not listen to enough and remains one of my all time favorites. Jack White and I really do have the same taste in music.

[@hendrixinfinity3992]

Benson is the perfect foil to White. So controlled.

[@lunarriviera]

this is so accurate, they balance each other like Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood at their best

[@digoxin]

Sorry I have to repeat myself (and several others) but I just stumbled upon this once again... This is the first, and only, since Terry Reid's 1968 stunning version, time this song gets a pulse. And not just any, but a thunderous heartbeat. It explodes, instead of just limping along. So many people covered it... but only Terry and Jack gave it the jaw-dropping intensity that even the original lacked.

[@user-hz6ll7ni3c]

Oh dear Lord! I love this cover so freaking much. He's makes me feel like I've been shot.

[@cwright54]

These guys rock I like the whole psychedelic blues rock thing, sounds like a rebirth of early 70's music. I dig it

[@RickardApps]

This version is so good. I come back to it every so often

[@corbindallas18]

Same

[@drgrl]

Equal parts heartbreak and sinister and they take you on the whole ride thrilling every step of the way.

[@TokinTaylor]

God Jack, can I just fade away into the oblivion of your soul forever?

[@thedarkerknight2188]

only if youre mediocre at drums

[@miss_.sunshine]

The very best version of this song so far... to my humble opinion...feeling things the way I feel it. The moment when he hits me with his soul... #BANG BANG!

[@elfvarna3134]

+Miss Sunshine There are many good versions. But this is just real harakiri.

[@timojissink4715]

+Miss Sunshine I do verry much like this version and think david guetta made shit out of it but the original of nancy sinatra is still my nr. 1.

[@timojissink4715]

***** oh, guess i just assumed it was the original because it was old and the only old one i've heard of :p

[@k.ruiter7631]

Timo jissink nancy's version may be the most famous, but not the original version :) those credits go to.... Cher!

[@grannybemx6729]

Miss Sunshine kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqPCkn5ppdVnodU This ones not bad either

[@Kteeee]

Still coming back here after all these years

[@katiest94]

This may be the greatest song in history, sung in the best way ever possible. It's so strong but desperate... incredible.

[@juanfo7307]

damn! finally this song gets the passion and conviction it deserves!

[@jimmyfigueras4476]

Theyre great, i love the color of lights that they use, it gives it a hypnotic effect

[@landlockedlifeguard]

I remember going to see the White Stripes and the Raconteurs and the Dead Weather so many times with my mother when I was very young. And I always loved the music they made and adored the live show experiences, but now as I’m growing older and my mother has passed, I’m discovering the emotional attachment she must have had to these performances. Jack White and the people he formed these groups with held with such reverence the music from the 50s and 60s. They love those songs and reinterpret them into modernity, bringing new sounds and emotions. And those were the songs my mother heard as a child. Her ashes are in a Third Man Records 7” record box at her request. I’ll never not think of her when I look back on these live performances. This cover in particular.

[@joannc8170]

This performance is hands down one of the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@charismatickarma]

This is one of my favorite performances. Everything about it is great...carries so much emotion. Thank you for sharing the vid!

[@RomyC1991]

I love this cover, I love Jack White...

[@marsimus13]

He surprises me as always. Never heard a bad cover by Jack White, this mister is incredible. The personality put in this is amazing, all my respect to the musicians

[@fransenson]

I cannot find adequate words for this performance...simply awesome.

[@petere6162]

Doesn’t get much bluer than this

[@leather2laceu]

my all time favorite version since nancy

[@phyllysanantonio]

fack Nancy. Her version blew chunks.

[@1chienandalou]

Agreed!

[@pepsirock2]

everything jack white touches turns to gold...he is just amazing to see and hear live :)

[@joelarama]

Love this song so much. This version is truely amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@AGomolka]

jack white is just toooooo talented

[@tradutorajuliana]

Gotta love Jack White

[@blaqkpearl]

yeh, I didnt think anyone could cover this better than Terry Reid, but man, this is SO fantastic, they are very intense and Jack can really rock that guitar. I get the shivers at the way they end this song, I love it!!!!

[@BoJam28]

rvery time the i listen to this song it gives me chills all over. props to jack you rock man!!!

[@ppcorreal]

I can imagine Kill Bill 3

[@itsafarce1157]

It's a Sonny Bono song written for his then wife Cher in 1966.

[@popoyt]

Best one on youtube. This version is the best of the 2 they play

[@purplepoppy24]

awesome, going to see them soon yeyyyyyy, luv jack's vocals...xxx

[@farlowseiler]

written by Sonny, first sung by Cher. Covered by Nancy Sinatra

[@christiangisborne9011]

Fred Phillips exactly! But this is a cover of Terry Reid’s version

[@foolycoolyface]

Perfected by Jack White

[@tyleroberling5018]

@@foolycoolyface I agree definatley the best version

[@mrpiki]

"He was black and I was white" :D Kinda funny in Jack White's mouth:P

[@Hitman1000]

Simply incredible, I can't stop watching it.

[@yeowrock]

magic!!blew me away!the emotion in his voice!and the power of the guitar.....epic!!!

[@BARRACULA94]

all the people commenting about cher, yes very good, although this is definitely a cover of nancy sinatra's cover as it has heavy use of tremolo'd guitars which only nancy's did.

[@flavaflayed3782]

Thank you

[@1chienandalou]

The speed differs between the Cher and Sinatra versions, which in turn changes the feel. I agree this is more based off off the Sinatra version than Cher’s even though that is itself a cover.

[@ellesulaberidze78]

actually, it’s more like Chers rock version (produced in 1987) cover

[@smashmx5961]

Sin duda uno de los mejores cover que he escuchado, ese Jack rifa mas con los Raconteurs que con los Stripes, y ya es decir algo.

[@Amaan05]

everytime he sings those imperfect notes on "Bang Bang"... the current runs up my body! shivers!... awesome one!

[@grandmotherproductions9380]

Masterful performance I see myself returning to watch every so often

[@auxi0094]

When the cover it's better than original. Sorry, it's my opinion.

[@sitfrogsit]

"Do you find me sadistic? ... No Kiddo, at this moment, this is me at my most... [cocks pistol] masochistic."

[@grammarnazi2159]

failed 8 year old comment

[@RachelE93492]

Sends chills down my spine. Number one cover of all time. x

[@robynfreaks]

Thanks! I love the Oldies!

[@Lynda910]

This is actually Cher's song. Sinatra covered it later. I love the Raconteurs version. Excellent.

[@Lu040]

Anything with Jack White will be epic

[@19killXyourXidols79]

Yup. I believe Sonny wrote it for her. (I may be wrong though hehe)

[@bettybeadles2557]

this is cover and if you don't like this cover, don't listen to it

[@giu_pas]

awesome, really. one of the best cover of this song.

[@besac64]

Vraiment énorme! Merci pour la vidéo.

[@brucebutkis]

should give proper credit to the actual artist that wrote the song which is Sonny Bono. Without him there would be no Nancy Sinatra cover version of this song.

[@LeonidiumProkopenko]

Треба буде зіграти на мій манер. Буде щє один привід мене ненавидить.

[@scorpiocheech]

I seen this live. It's bloody spectacular!

[@Schiallo]
