Watch Conan, Jack White Play ‘We’re Going to Be Friends’ at Newport Folk Festival


Conan O'Brien and Jack White teamed up for a surprise performance of 'We're Going to Be Friends' at Newport Folk Festival on Sunday.

Conan O'Brien and Jack White attend 10th Annual Grammy week event on February 8, 2017 in Los Angeles, California. The final guest during Conan O’Brien’s star-studded Sunday evening set at Newport Folk Festival was his podcast companion and friend Jack White. White was the final guest during O’Brien’s set, which featured an original song from Triumph the Insult Comic Dog about how bad O’Brien was at telling music stories, like the one about O’Brien meeting Bob Dylan; classic rock covers from guests including Nathaniel Rateliff (“Let It Bleed”), Brittany Howard (“Come and Get Your Love”), and Taylor Goldsmith (“Ramblin’ Man”); and a rousing performance from Mavis Staples, who sang an extended rendition of her Staple Singers signature “I’ll Take You There.”
