Jack White Blazes Through 90 Minutes of New Songs and White Stripes Classics at Electrifying New Jersey Club Show: Concert Review
Jack White tore through a fiery set of White Stripes classics and songs from his new album 'No Name' at a packed New Jersey club show.
Those albums are all cool and often great, but it’s hard to deny that although his fans like, respect and appreciate them — along with side projects like the Raconteurs and Dead Weather — secretly they wished he’d just put together a small rock band, plug in, turn the volume up and let rip. With just drummer Patrick Keller, bassist Dominic Davis and keyboardist Quincy McCrary in tow, he blazed through most of the new album and a Muddy Waters cover before digging deep into White Stripes classics for most of the rest of the night. In classic contrarian fashion, White has basically said that the band isn’t really doing a tour but just playing shows, with union halls and similar small venues on the docket — there are a handful of U.S. and U.K. dates scheduled this fall, with hopefully more to come.
