Rich Kid Blues - Glastonbury

[crazynapsacker]

why do they play all that shit on the radio instead of this?

[librarianeric]

I wish the Raconteurs had been this good when I saw them on the first tour. They charged $50 a ticket and played for 45 minutes, I shit you not.

While this is a good cover, I don't think it tops the original by any stretch.

[hailmasch]

@librarianeric The band doesn't get to choose the price of the tickets.

[buttoneer47]

a decent cover,but not a patch on the Terry Reid original.

[kennydiedhere]

@buttoneer47 eh i disagree.

[nessyhonessy]

THIS IS SOOOO GOOOOD

[TheBeatleDrummer]

Does anyone else think Jack W. sounds like Freddy Mercury???

[40DollarFine]

I got to give props for any band that knows this tune by Terry Reid. And they've done it well BUT it ain't Terry Reid. Go check out his original studio recording from 1969. Now THAT's a vocal.

[40DollarFine]

I've got to give props for any band that knows this song by Terry Reid. They've done it well BUT it ain't Terry Reid. Go find the original studio recording by Terry (not his later live versions). Now THAT'S a vocal.

[soredis]

I want my initials on antarctica too

[slimturnpike]

jack is looking more like elizabeth taylor every time i see him.

[gfreeman247]

this band is pretty much a supergroup. does anyone know how jack gets that distortion on his mic on fly farm blues

[kite3350]

@gfreeman247 he runs his voice through the big muff pi if im not mistaken. 

[madlaughstudios]

@gfreeman247 you mean the one on top of the amp, its a copper microphone, it just sounds like that

[agadez13]

get that kid out of here.

[kite3350]

MY BALOOON!!!!

[TaffyRaphie]

Last?

[lovemusicmzipse]

what is that thing he is pushing at 3:03

[polarissuk]

@lovemusicmzipse i think its some sort of killswitch

[agadez13]

@lovemusicmzipse im pretty sure its a zvex pedal. they make touch sensitive pedals for stuff like that

[ConConShareef]

patrick keeler is cool as fuck

[micahvestal]

@TheToTimusic thanks for your concern but I was actually referring to Jack White when i said jack white... You do know that they are both in this video, right?

[micahvestal]

Jack White looks like a Hobbit in this video

[TheToTimusic]

@micahvestal it isn't Jack White, it is Brendan Benson;)

[SuperMcabral]

Do you know how much better Terry Reid is than this guy and his hair was perfect-naturally/

[Buckeyed325]

@SuperMcabral Terry Reid might have done it better, but it's great to see a band in the 2000 era paying homage to him and this song. That's what it is all about my man. Rock n Roll will never die. Keep your head up!

[oakfan3]

@SuperMcabral Terry Reid was good of course, but Jack White is one of the best musicians in the world period. If your a Terry Reid fan you should take it as a compliment that White would play this song instead of boasting how much better Reid is. You should check out the documentary called "It Might Get Loud". See for yourself the other two people other than White that are in the film.

[rhcp484]

@oakfan3 yeeeeeeah. GREAT documentary. they could have left edge out of it as far as im concerned tho. jack and jimmy would have been just perfect.

[YapiLebo]

You always think "the studio version is brilliant and cool" and then live -- its just Rock`n`Rollll!!

[thewiredrock]

Does anyone know what that pedal/thing is at 3:04?

[Akarub]

@thewiredrock it's actually not a pedal, this thing called thermenvox or something like that

[BOSTONYANKEE]

what a great live act..

[MrQuickRick]

Last. Lol, jk. This song is so f*cking good

[bluesboyguitar]

The last viewer...

[thesherif]

Did patrick swayze come back from the dead?

[ChordBender]

Reid was Page's 1st choice for Led Zep's singer/2nd guitar; Reid declined but gave him Plant & Bonahm.

[PloiAm]

i just started listening to the white stripes and i've never heard of this band, so you'll have to forgive me if this question seems a bit stupid. But who covered who? I know the raconteurs did a cover of this song but i dont know if they covered Glastonbury or if they covered him.

[bigbassist321]

you do no that glastonbury is the place their performing at not a band in this case, and this is the raconteurs in this vid, as for covering, im not sure but i think its terry reid

[Jerichoholic20]

Glastonbury is the festival they covered Terry Reid

[pererecamoon]

respeito com o terry reid plzzzzzzzzzzz pessimo essa banda lixo dos lixos

[twoboots4you]

what's that pedal that Jack is tapping? it seems like he's completing the circuit with his own body... new to me.

[lpage2112]

i think that be a killswitch

[dialaname]

@twoboots4you its a zvex tremolo probe, great pedal

[dmholmes1]

I have a new found respect for Jack White. I did before but now that I know he styles his playing after Terry Reid I am liking him more and more!!

[malcatron]

Awesome cover, hopefully it turned a few people on to the incredible Terry Reid, surely one of our most overlooked musical genius's.

[TheFrozenLads]

it did for at least one. i checked him out shortly after hearing this. i love him! he's like Steve Marriott (my favorite singer) with brown hair.

[InsideOutRW]

Fucking brilliant. They captured all aspects of Terry Reid.

[LukaaaasMusic]

reminds me of led zeppelin or the who!

[Guitarman20000]

it should this is a cover of a terry reid sng who almost was the lead singer of led but instead he gave jimmy robs number cause he was buds with him

[LillyCandyCane]

2:04 guy has a cool t-shirt. He's having a shocker though.

I was right up front but still not close enough to them there at glasto- I just noticed Brendan's face is fascinating to watch.

My stomach does a flip at Jack's hotness whenever the camera goes to him hehe.

But the cameraman sucks and it's annoying to watch the stupid sky and crap when you wanna see the band. No-one wants to see the audience.

[boils]

Great song. The director needs shooting.

[cheribobbins75]

yeah kill the director!!

if i wanna see the sky ill look outside

lol

[ZyggieFromJiU]

i love the little improv that goes on after the organ bit

[bischke]

fuckin' insane

[CriticalHammer007]

FINALLY A BAND THAT CAN PLAY and SING!

[musicisalright]

not to mention their amazing songwriting. this is a cover, though

[Ahnenerbedienst]

lol  stockport flag at 1:31 woooo go stockport

[IRol3ot]

pirate flag at 2:27 woooo go pirates XD

[chainlinkmusic]

i just LOVE the way this song ends. its fantastic.

[desmond17oreilly]

thats true...d only problem is that the song ends!!

[BiscuitsJoe]

what exactly is jack doing when he's tapping on that box?

[bischke]

killswitching i think

[milfeh]

It is killswitching. Basically it cuts the circuit, so no signal gets through.

Like flicking an on/off switch, really.

[eefbeef09]

ur mum knows what killswitching is

[Samstrat94]

he used the same technique on blue veins when i saw them live

sam

[hufferz]

Brendon and Jack,just want to thank you for digging down deep and finding a gem a song from a true 60's blues/rocker. We need more of you out there keeping it alive. Long live the Rac and Terry Reid.

[littleroom333]

There is very little said about Brendan's voice... but he is a very good singer.

And then, don't get me started on Jack. Good Gawd! Love him!

[jaredq123]

these guys are damn good

[whatleymattu]

ahhh man, what is this fready murcury , shit sounds like queen. get down , with that fuck scratchy hard blues with jack layin it down thick

[irongiant333]

one of the greatest bands ever!

[whatleymattu]

yea, and irongiant was one of the best movies ever. hah

[maskedcrusader]

wow im sorry but i didn't know this was a cover

[digoxin]

Nice cover version. I have to say it does the original justice.

[gizmorozco]

never heard this band before, its just terrific...

[hero121385]

haha i love how much smoke is coming out of the audience14

[Jihat]

They are freaking great live band.

[LesTomGoldTop]

best rich kid blues performance

[oldscool10]

best band on the fesitval, they remind me of Clapton's Cream, these guys can seriously play their instruments..........

[zeikoru]

or bob dylan's "the band"

[Wizum11]

I dunno they dont really sound much like the band... but same kinda vibe... like just into making good music... ... oh and it's not just bob dylans band .. there a band ( so to speak) by themselves...

[zeikoru]

ya i know, but its easier than saying "the Band" cuz then it sounds like any band

[MillerTimeMonkey]

best performance of this song.

[adubon]

the energy exuding is amazing just from watching and listening on my computer- I can only imagine what it would have felt like to be whitness this first-hand.

[blu129]

unbelievable performance. the drumming was also insanely good.

[JackWhiteTheFourth]

First veiw!

[DinosaurSoda]

well done...

maybe someone should try to be the last view/comment

they would have to know for sure that they would be the last. ;]
