The Raconteurs - Blue Veins at Hove Festival

[iommi192]

I have to quote jim morrison: "Shut up!!!...Well, is that the way to behave on a rock'n'roll concert?...you don't want to hear that for the next half hour, do you?...like shshsh!"

[Astrolabios]

That Sear Silverstone sounds like HELL.

[Inritus618]

Does it irritate anyone else that the crowd gets so bloody loud in the middle of the song? I mean, just shut up, for God's sake!

[OzBooger]

this is the first time ive lasted 11 minutes during sex

[Inritus618]

God, why can't the people in the crowd shut up when the band stops playing for a second. Silence in a song can be just as important and meaningful as sound.

[transfrmpnguinz]

Around 6:10 it sounds like Instinct Blues by The White Stripes :D

[kurtyk100]

i puked at about the 8 minute mark because i was so blown away

[Spoc1012]

I take back my statement it is actually in A minor/ C major! whoops.

[Spoc1012]

Here is a hint for you folks. This song is in Fmajor/Dminor. :3

[3Nerdy]

my favorite video on youtube. by far.

[davidwantsahug]

Why didnt they record it like this? I dont like the recorded version.. :|

[Imal00ter20]

6:00 - 6:34 is the best guitar solo ever. Just sayin'.

[CrispyChris70]

I'm gonna play music like this...when i'm famous like Jack....only better =)

[Jordey24]

11 minutes of ORGASM.

[theplourde]

I think the best thing to do is figure out how to play the album version, get what distortion/fuzz pedal jack or brenden uses, and come up with your own guitar solo since there isn't a tab for this song live yet online. it's kickass and Jack White is a GENIUS.

[JollyWaffles]

I pooed

[ladyoftheroad12]

thank you JW!

[fanymac]

GRAN GRAN BANDA !!

[moiiom13]

10:34 mfw

[Gueroisse]

I really like the part between 0:00 to 10:54 .

[ibgeano01]

Two muthafuckers d'ont deserve ears.

[5sagen5]

this is my all time favourite recording of this song i love you jac white :)

[louisalive]

sorry if I offend anyone, but.... "SIIIIIINCE I'VE BEEEN LOVIN' YOOOU YEEEAAH!"

[tearsp07]

@louisalive ahahahhaha im a pure hearted white stripes, any jack white projects man but hot damn im a zeppelin fan way before stripes came into my life this my friend made me chuckle

[louisalive]

@tearsp07 because it's true? Yeah I love Jack White too, but he may as well join a Led Zep tribute sometimes :)

nah, just kidding, he's great

[ajesusgoat]

so heavy,

reminds me of words by neil young

[louisalive]

@ajesusgoat good shout, man knows his music

[tovinw]

Best ten minutes and fifty-four seconds of my life. 

[eldemasiado]

Insane!

[0danishdrummer0]

holy fucking shit, this is fantastic!

[robYCFC]

if you have emotion inside you that you want to get out, get an electric guitar, whack the volume on full, and attempt to play this! :D

[Sheebeedeebee]

1 person is missing ears

[TougeBoss]

@renfieldvonklauss get high, right now.

[darthesgoobis123]

this is their best song

[april101988]

more than half the people i know don't know of the raconteurs..its very sad

[TheVillageIdiot95]

3:00  DRUM-GASUM

[dwumman]

During the huge pregnant pause I just kept thinking, "I wanna hear it! What the hell are you still hearing in your head Jack?! I wanna hear!"

[BlueOnionGroup]

such an awesome guitar (jack's i mean)

[LeaningTowardsPisa]

Reminds me of I Want You (She's So Heavy) off Abbey Road. x10.

[Timeconsumer9]

BEAT THIS JOHN MAYER!! HA!! JACK WHITE FOREVER!!!

[brutonello92]

damn, oh my god, I'm speechless.

[3Nerdy]

Best Performance of Blue Veins Ive seen. Absolutely Breath Taking.

[Axesss]

holy shiet, they are outstanding! what guitar is Jack using there? im having trouble seeing

[GnomeDman]

@Axesss im pretty sure its a grestch, but not the silver one, this ones a custom one with a built in voice distortion thing

[StevesGuitars]

@Axesss It's a gretsch in a limited edition color from a couple years back. Jack had his favorite luthier make it a double cutaway, install a green bullet harmonica mic that runs through his amp, and wire in an mxr micro amp to the middle pickup so he could get more overdrive just from the guitar by adding that pickup.

[101fishguy]

Jack outdid himself here!

everyone is great,

jack, little jack, brendan, and patrick!!!

[IllumProductions]

Patrick such an underrated drummer.

[moskvamarit]

I was there! Best concert i've ever been to:D

[CzaristMatt]

@moskvamarit LUCKY!!!!!

[polmagp]

i've seen a video of a steve vai interview and he said he has been listening to jack white and that he thinks he is one of the best these days.

[algrand90]

brendan did a great work wit h the rithm guitar

[Ka1idurga]

@Buddy: I'm just waiting for Dead Weather to expand this year's tour dates to include my area. Jack on guitar, Jack on drums, Jack singing the phone book.... I'd love to see him do pretty much anything at this point.

[rawkfist208]

Oh man, I love that phone book idea. Somebody should contact him and try to get this thing made! I can see it now. His first solo album! "Jack White Sings the Phone Book"! =D

[Ka1idurga]

Damn, I want to see this man play live.

[BuddyWillis]

@Ka1idurga He's incredible live, I highly suggest it

[bassist069]

wow ... simply amazing !!! good to see that there is some good music being made...

[s1ygirl]

Jeeze, what I wouldn't do to time travel back to 2008 to see this live.

[pinchipendejowey]

yea he is one of the best! by far... but theres so many others too, he is just very original and blueish lol

hes tight

[triff2003]

the racontours' since iv been loving you? anyone?

[GlassEyedVision]

sir jack and the kids play the best revival of our generation. hands down a jaw droppin live band with all the tricks in the book

[thebighishere]

edgiest guitarist around... i love you jack! only he can get away with playing like that

[zdzdrumz]

i hope patrick keeler encourages more rock drummers to stick with traditional grip, it just gives so much more to music

[awesomehatguy]

When i first got introduced to the raconteurs i was young and played a little drums and asked by brother why he held it like that and he said jazz musicians do that a lot so i tried it out and now i can play the way people normally do i gotta do the traditional grip!

[awesomehatguy]

by the way i am only 14

[ReadMyCommentBitch]

thats nice

[newmacgirl]

not really man it dont really matter how you hold your sicks just as long you feel it !!! more then one way to skin a cat lol

[zdzdrumz]

i guess so but when i switched my matched grip to traditional it totally changed how i approached the drums.. but hey its diff for everyone

[3Nerdy]

@zdzdrumz Funny you should say that, his style has influenced me tremendously. Especially the traditional grip.

[0danishdrummer0]

@zdzdrumz yeah it's so freaking awesome! especially when he just changes back and forward between grips.. it makes it look like he's just jamming! :P

[outermostgravy]

@zdzdrumz He inspired me! :)

[DAKMAIN]

@zdzdrumz Noticeably, i think that falls more under the specific drummer rather than how he holds a stick in his hand.

[ghosterdude]

@zdzdrumz it's not traditional, it's just french. the german or american ones are just as traditional.

[Grieves3]

That was a brilliant performance. By far The best performance of this song I've ever seen.

[Renhjarta]

Jerry Garcia / Grateful Dead vibe on the intro jam

[bassaleri]

about 9.00 he looks so wasted ! He's such a genius. I love that guy. He deserves to be more famous in France.

[awesomehatguy]

To me he looks like he is tripping on extacy or taking a nap lol

[awesomehatguy]

In a good way

[goblu22816]

Does anyone know if this song is off of a CD or if you can buy it on iTunes?

[auddym]

It's from their first album, Broken Boy Soldier, I'm sure it's on itunes. However, the album version is much shorter and features backwards vocals instead of the guitar solos.

[Zzzax10]

@goblu22816 You can find live recordings of many songs on their website. There are a bunch of awesome recordings of this song.

[orestakissss]

my opinion is that in the album should be like this like 10 minutes that would be great!!!

[ironwall666]

Jack white does not play to impress you, he plays to express himself. This is not a tour of technique, this is an inner picture of who he is. This is not just skill, this is art. That is what makes Jack White a god, his ability to speak using a guitar, something which very few musicians possess.

[theflyingdutchmanxD]

this song is about heroin so your saying hes a junk??!

nah just kiddin i agree with you, Jack is out of this world

[Cortick]

.....*sigh* where do you get the fact that this song is about heroin? From the blue veins part? its not about heroin.

[theflyingdutchmanxD]

idk i read it somewere i guess, stop making comments that lead to pointless discusions please, just listin to a living god play

[IllumProductions]

Shut up you mindless dribbling idiot.

[KrakenKingKong]

fags should learn to keep thier mouths shut...

[brilleaben]

@ironwall666 I only know of White and Neil Young who can do it..

[Tom123collins]

@brilleaben Are you serious?

[Kimmocheck]

@ironwall666 YES SO TRUE!

[Lafayettebluesman]

@ironwall666 You're exactly right, but he still does a damn good job of impressing us anyway!!

[4muldowneys]

jack eff'in' rulz!!!

[LupinLoverGuitarist]

Woah...2:43 made me jump out of my skin!

Genius.

x

[bigbigbed]

graham coxon said once, when jack is playing he is like satan.... or something like that..obviously jack likes rough sounds comin out of his guitar..crazy ass motherfucker.!!

[tugywar]

what the fuck did i just hear? was that music? jack white is possibly the worst proffessional guitarist ever

[justingregoire]

he's made it farther than youll ever be

his minimalistic guitar playing is amazing

[tugywar]

thats exactly my point how has he made it this far i dont know

[justingregoire]

well i know

his creativity got him to where he is right now

hes not a shredder, he cant play fast, but theres a difference between playing fast and being original

and jack white is one of the most original guitarists youll ever hear

granted a lot of people dont like his style, and i respect your opinion, but i think i speak for everyone on this page by saying jack white is a god

[mikeeeee1111]

along with being original he is one of the few guitarists who plays his solos with soul. and i agree with everything you said jack white is definitely a god.

[DeadWireProductions]

Jack White is the only good guitar player in our generation.. he is an amazing guitar player and you have no taste in good music.. Jack Plays from his soul.. music is part of him.. you sir are a dumbass that needs to die

[nardo363636]

John Frusciante?

[wiccanknight]

I wouldnt say ONLY. He may well be the best, but Tom Morello and even John Mayer are great

[algrand90]

i would add dereck trucks  and john frusciante

[namelesssmokemonster]

@algrand90

now theres a supergroup! :p

[KATE24211]

jack is beautiful

[Shlumpledink]

is he drinking beer at the start?

[andravn]

I think it was water...

[Timosha]

it water

[JackWhiteTheFourth]

genius

[littleroom333]

Whoa! When he just stops playing and is standing there... I... I... I don't know what to say. (fans self)

[Slena3]

den konserten var himmelsk. Mitt beste musikk-minne sammen med Bob Dylan konserten i Stavanger... :D

[fnrebel]

so so much passion // 2 fn cool

[pepsirock2]

i was there<3

[desperationeyes]

jeg også :D

[pepsirock2]

sant d var den beste konserten på hove 08 ;P

[desperationeyes]

jaa :D

[jennfoster]

great camera angles!

[solveig1759]

Norwegian television puts the BBC's coverage of T in the Park and Glastonbury to shame. The camera angels are superb and what a brilliant idea having the overhead shots of Patrick.

[HeleneRT]

THANKS for posting this!! This give me the chills and creeps and are so amazing... I so so wish I was there ;)

[Howdi2U]

first solo break sounds like instinct blues when its about to rev up.

[moloko89]

beep beep im a jeep

hes got fantastic haircut!

beep beep im a jeep

[Donald931]

Oh, that's soo good.. I really wish that Jack could come to my town here in sweden (gothenburg) .. It's so hard for me to get to see him live..

[She7d]

just like me :( well they were in poland last week... but at the other end of the country :/

[MillerTimeMonkey]

fucking awsome.

[malstr]

You could only imagine how it felt like to me to be there, 2meters from him.

[wf881]

not only can i imagine how you felt, i know EXACTLY how you felt. i've seen them 3 times already this year, and i'm seeing them again in september. i think you would agree with me that experiencing the Raconteurs live....well, you can't really put it into words. truly amazing.

[JackWhiteTheFourth]

saw them in Vegas , NYC, and set for Seattle and Ryman..the best live act in the world...no more to say

[wf881]

after watching that video...my soul now belongs to jack white. and i don't mind at all.
