that's what real music lovers do like personally i don't give a fuck about you or your instrument or singing unless you love music enough to sit and jam with me too. Bringing an instrument and being able to play with some other person just because you know the scales and chords and tunings and you have the blues and are feeling it is what it's all about. I know scores of people in bands and who sing they're all to important for me to care to play along with because I might ruin it. wtg jack
People call Jack a dousche. How? ANY major name that takes the time out of his day to do an exchange like this with his fans is alright In MY book. Plus I don't need my music to be made by "nice" or beautiful people..
If you pay attention it appears as if someone in the crowd figured out to clap on every other beat then Meg joins in then Jack does. There were a lot of people playing that song is what I am saying.
It looks like the blues playing guy might be down on his luck. I would've so totally given him all of my cash right there. XD; And woah, Jack's playing when he joined in is SWEET!
just found the tape bobby gave me of some of his stuff its got this song on their as well. some really really good stuff. just thought id let some people know theres his stuff floating around :D
who has the balls to walk around in matching red shits and black pants like that? and then to back it up with the skills? these guys are the gold standard of talkin a bold talk and completely walkin it
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa dios que persona tan sensual i love you jack from latinoamerica grirrrl love (and love for this old bluesman ) and meg and the world (have nice day)
As a musician it's especially sad to hear someone as musically talented as him pass away. I loved seeing him on Provancher bridge among many other places. Hands down one of my favorite blues men. Rest in peace Bobby.
I thank markallen from the bottom of my heart for posting this video of my brother, Robert Wayne Johnston. Sadly, Bobby passed away on March 20, 2009. Because of financial constraints, I haven't been able to put an obituary in the local papers, so, if anyone wishes to attend his funeral service, it will be on March 27, 2009 at Wojcik's Funeral Chapel, 1020 Main Street at 2 p.m. There will be a public viewing before the service from 1:30 to 2 p.m. The internment will be at Brookside Cemeterey.
Bobby died!? oh my god, I work at the millennium library, I'm so used to seeing him almost everyday in the connections either between the Library/Post office or Library/City Place. My condolences to your family Bobby was a real great guy
Hey Brian, I know this is a little late but I am truly sorry for your loss. My spouse is the blonde guy in the black t-shirt in this video, and I am sitting behind him on the rail. Your brother's performance was breathtaking and I will never forget it. We were so disappointed that we didn't get on the bus with Jack and Meg that day, but after that performance I wouldn't trade that experience for anything.
It's Wednesday March 10th, 2009. Saw Bobby the other day. Some punks stole his guitar and his stool he sits on cause his arthritis is bad in this cold. If you see him, give him a couple bucks.
THAT IS MUSIC RIGHT THERE! Even if it wasnt Jack White or the white stripes. Just two mother fuckers jamming out on the street, never met before, and people listening because its simply awesome.
my guitar teacher is friends with this busker and they were talking and the guy said "yeah i don't know if u heard but i was playing with some guy apparantly he's kinda famous he was Jack Black or something"
It would be so awesome to be the one playing with them. (but you're most likely right that he probably has no idea who they are and why all those people are there.)
I dont think the white stripes really care about winning a VMA. in fact... Does anyone care about the VMAs? or anything on MTV for that matter? Well shit mtv is still in business so I guess so. Let me rephrase that then, does anyone important care about mtv?
Mtv makes me wanna smoke crack, fly out the window and Im never comin back :P
I felt so touched by this, just seeing superstars sitting by a regular man and just act natural. That Stripes show that super stardom isn't necassarily the dollar sign and being up your own ass, that's why I idolise them both.
Thats awesome i think that more musicians should do that. Just be able to sit down on a remote side walk with a local just trying to make some change. Also awesome guitar solo by Jack. You can see him sitting there waiting for the transition to main beat to play that solo. Well i would like to see the full video. You can see his roadie filming it.
say what ever you want about rock N roll but there is no reason to dis seether every one is intitled to there taste and note eveyone is a fascist like you tellig people what to like or not like hey i like Janis Joplin and bob dylan as long side with seether
" NO fucking way.... You SEE this people? THIS is Rock and Roll. Not Seether, not nickleback or Fallout Boy. This is the real deal. The White Stripes are awesome to the MAX. " AGREED.
that bluesman/busker's name is Bobbie and he plays on the l'esplanade Riel most days when it is sunny. I live at the St Boniface end of the bridge and see him often. Nice guy when he is sober and a true musicman...
If you know where this guy is at, please get a camera and take video of him playing this song where we can see the chords. I'm trying to work it out. Thought it was a variation of some 12-bar blues, but it still sounds off.
NO fucking way.... You SEE this people? THIS is Rock and Roll. Not Seether, not nickleback or Fallout Boy. This is the real deal. The White Stripes are awesome to the MAX.
Dudes, there is a guy in a hat and suit taping it with one of those profesional cameras. Does this mean DVD with all of these secret White Stripes shows?
Yes they are making a DVD of the northern concerts. I heard that before they played even one show in Canada. Go to the video of the show they had at the rec centre in Burnaby and there are cameramen there too.
Fuck i just got back from the show. It was amazing. While waiting in line we heard about this so we went to the forks but we missed them. We didnt check the bridge :(
