Raconteurs with Pete Townshend part 2

[Marenrick]

Jackwhite should tune his voice first! But he's a good rocker!

[Euph0ricacid]

@Marenrick dude! are you kidding me, he was great. and if you look at the video you can tell that he didnt even choose the song, so god knows if he knew it well or not

[SoniaFrancine1]

Música começa lá pelos 3:17 :o)

[ModTheJimmy]

Random woman "whos gonna sing"

Jack fucking White " ILL DO ITTTT!!!!!!!!!"

[MsSouthernmonkey]

great :o)

[dankbuda]

I asked Pete Townshend, But he couldn't help either. LOVE IT!!!

[IntimateSecretary79]

jack sounds so cute with a cold

[thommytaranto]

Woman: "How do you feel about being called little Jack". LJ: "My dad used to call me it". Woman: "Oh I get it". Pete: "His name's John, call him Little John". LJ: "I'm the real Jack". Woman and Pete: "You're the real Jack!". Pete: The other one's a phony.

[sercross]

3YEARS ENJOING THIS VIDEO AND NOW I REALISE THAT JACK HAS A 12 STRINGS GUITAR

[electrasong]

Pete Townsend is a 'god'. I would kiss the ground he walks on and still have the entire WHO back catalogue in various formats.

[Christohart7]

Love how Patrick pockets Pete's plectrum.

[ztekkiwi]

what an unexpected, great find ... ripper of a post

[Jaysin13]

I love that these other musicians like Brendan are like who cares about my band I was inches away from Pete! That is exactly how I would be! Jesus I just got to sit next to the king and listen to him hold court.

[ptownshendlove19]

HAHAHAHAH playing the seeker, PETE SHOWED JACK UPPPPP

[cjsulli07]

@ptownshendlove19 he wrote the song, of course he did

[tiranchula]

Pete is genius!

[pepperminto6]

poor brendan....he's not doing anything while everyone is playing...

[thommytaranto]

@pepperminto6 When the woman asked who was going to sing, Brendan look like we was gonna say yes but Jack was too quick. And when Jack went to get a guitar for Pete, I'm sure Brendan was thinking if that guitar was for him.

[itsabirditsaplane00]

"ill do it!" lol

[redhotpebble]

Jack can be brilliant or Jack can be a fat out of tune annoying bastard

JACK WHITE AND PETE IS BOTH GODS DAMMIT

[LillyCandyCane]

I agree with superlou1s, I adore Jack White, he is amazing, and in a couple years time he will be up there with the rest of 'em, but right now, Pete Townshend, well, he's Pete Townshend. The goddamn Who. Come onnnn

[TJsalami]

Jack: show me if I'm playing the seeker right

Pete: Don't change my song muthafuckaaaaa

Jack: Well Im doing it anyway.....

[superlou1s]

To everyone saying Jack White is better than Pete Townshend, SHUT THE FUCK UP. They're not even comparable. Yes Jack White is awesome. He is, as some would say, "The Shit," and one of the few people like dave grohl still playing real music. BUT. Pete Townehend is one of THE most famous and talented rock songwriters. Jack will have to do a lot more than he has to one-up Pete. But like I said, they're hardly comparable. Different focuses, different talents. Different people.

[HookInMouth999]

Totally agree... both great guitar players and song writers but you can compare the two. Pete wrote classics like My Generation, Baba Oriley, Wont get fooled again just to name a few.... and pioneered the hard rock genre. Pete is a living legend. Jack would probably give his left nut to have written My Generation, as would most rock musicians today

[tghgr]

''chuck norris bow down before jack white busts a guitar over your face and pees on texas''

[spyke259]

fuckin beast i swear to god i love that mother fucker jack white is a god....he's are robert plant and jimmy page wrapped up in one but just a little different in a good way tho a real creative way ...beast

[drmlabs]

this is chock-full of AWESOME

[cornyking1992]

i want to see a cover of the seeker by them now i would love to have that in my record collection

[Niggags]

Okay....so there seems to be a misconception of who's better? Uhmmm in my proffessional opinion all bias aside, im going to have to give it to Jacky boy cuz....I've seen em both at their best and lets be frank guys, i dont know what was happening in this video where he was pretending like he didnt know the song or Townshends licks but i mean come on.....no sorry NO CONTEST PETEY BOY youre fairly washed up although i highly anticipate the new musical, lets hope it wont disapoint

[Bluesysphinx]

I love Jack white more. by a hair

[Timeconsumer9]

same

[VetalF]

I like it

[filmowicz1]

SUPER SONG

[310guitars]

poor brendan hes just sitting there while the rest of the band plays

[insanelama]

well it wasnt that bad

[SugarlessCancerous]

"Hey! How are you?" <--- He does sound awfully cute there.

[fasteddyuk]

The woman reminds me of the girlfriend from Spinal Tap.

[RussianThickness1]

@fasteddyuk same here

[Flammiedrum]

@fasteddyuk

While she may seem...flighty, she is a very talented musician in her own right, look up some of her stuff, bet you'll be surprised.

[deathstarmygnr]

Jack White and Pete Townshend. Awesome!

[wardy991]

this is pretty cool

[zombi00]

you are clearly <30 years old

[ElephantStripedWhite]

im 13 and think pete is better then jack, even though jack is my favorite

[minniwhite]

I'm 14 and I know why, because pete is almost twice as old as jack.

:)

[BlindLoveandPeace]

explain why

[LukaaaasMusic]

come on, be serieus, do you even know pete?

[knowonisgod]

NOTHING ABOUT THE RACONTEURS are AMATUER... dude they know way more about music than u think... Jesus show respect retard

[emannyc2002]

holy crap- those guys must have been nervous at shite - playing with townshend

like a couple of college frat boys playing wiht a MASTER

[Chronicpleasure]

Ha omg i dont even know how to take this. Okay for one, its obvious yeah eyah old mans got sum skill but hes not Jacky White! And like it almost seems, to me, like Jack was almost humbling himself deliberatly asking him how to play it and making it all out there and Jack White like and then even pretended like he couldnt do that one part right off the bat which was again either him just being such a blatant awesome dick, or traces of real genuine humble ol' Jack

[Tapeduc]

AAAh you little dick. this band might be decent, butthe who were fucking legendary. They PIONEERED performance rock in the 60's with their smashin instruments and what. Besides, Townshends one of the legendary composers of all time- he composed FUCKING TOMMY, for fucks sake. I wld kill to have a jam sesh with pete townshend. He was right to be humble. U shuld broaden ur musical outlook b4 u make such accusations. hes NO JACKY WHITE? who the fucks jackie white?

[JRR951]

lol i was thinking the same thing... jack white is good but he's nothing too special... this guy must not know about music before 2000... pete townshend's a quick one... there's no words for that song

[MotownMarvel]

jack white is incredibly phenomenal and awesomely talented. one of my all time favorite musicians. but he's no pete townshend.  not yet....

[Euph0ricacid]

@MotownMarvel tbh i reckon he is. but thats what happens when you grow up in the wrong time. you get so so many legends to be inspired by

[flamintacohole]

hahahaha chronicpleasure your about the dumbest fucker in the world the who is where alot of the new age rock started out. jack white is good but can guarantee you hes sicked to play with pete.....know your shit before you open your mouth

[deathwish959]

@Chronicpleasure you fucking ignorant brat! hahahaha do you even know who pete townshend is? do you know what this man did to rock and roll? ugh your ignorance sedans me

[babbleon12]

@Chronicpleasure You are an idiot. Yes, Pete sounds a bit like a rambling old man here, but he is twenty times the legend Jack White is. As soon as Pete hits the chords of the seeker, the entire Who energy comes back. Some guitarists have the entire key to their style in their fingers. He is one.

[Drumer4thesumer]

Who the hell is the guy in the back with the white top?

1. He is a kiss ass

2. He is an overactor

3. Why is he headbanging to acoustic guitars?

[GarethGoodlad]

he's just happy to be there dude.....be nice.......yah tea bag....sorry that was wrong of me to call you a tea bag...i dont know you...kinda like how dont know the guy at the back .....with the white top

[HEYoREIDO]

yeah. id be a lot crazier than that guy in the back. to be in the presence of a fuckin legend. let alone making music with him.

[embalm]

awesome video, Jack showed Pete he is an icon as well.

[naleyan]

Both great guys but a case of the pupil with the master

[nerak71166]

Pete & Jack just have different strumming techniques, equally good. Considering the generation gap, and music is fluid, of course they're going to have different interpretations & techniques. Stop bagging out Pete's other half, it's just not cool to do that. She's equal to Pete whilst socialising and that's exactly what she's doing - socialising.

[denisebrown1956]

The Seeker: 4:20 to 6:31

[WillKay2007]

Someone please slap that stupid woman

[jason72855]

jack can sing he just sings like that because it sounds cool go listen to "you dont understand me" by the raconteurs he sings normal on that one and even if u dont like his singing he is a beast guitar player

[notheoneyouknow]

actually, jack really doesn't sound that good live. never did. but he was on of the last "new" things to appear. there are few original bands left.

[JoeSatForPres]

@notheoneyouknow You probably havent heard him live then.

[mikerboy23]

then why dont you have fans...and why arent you fanmous???

[greekmama73]

So freaking cool! I wonder who Jack was saying hi to after he got off the bus.

[Scolopandre91]

Oh my god, I love both of them. I never thought i would see them together! What a surprise, this is absolutely incredible. Amazing

[zx7gp]

Pete is such a smooth foookin player.Makes jack sound like a hack

[motownfreak15]

Jack's playing 12 string. It has a jangly sound.

Considering he's going toe to toe with PETE TOWNSHEND he's doind pretty good.

[embalm]

he could own townsend on any style, better check some solos out. Jack plays 80 year old blues style and is a one man recking crew

[whofan2323]

HAHAHAHAHAHHA I think if you asked "Jack" that he would not even respond to a comment like that. Come on Embalm..

[perezito910]

BRILLIANT!!

[mspratz]

Lyrcis!!?? You are forgiven too! lmao

[KidA2357]

great version. pete skipped over some lyrcis though. I'll forgive him

[bucknasty478]

i love how jacks playing the 12 string to seeker has a good sound to it though

[jimi1231]

oh yeah watch part 1 first

[jimi1231]

wtf is pete on about?

[mlummox]

Holy jesus. This pairing combined with that 12 string jacks playing... it sounds like heaven.

[swizzlecheeks]

LOL!!!!

Watch a crime being commited on the couch at 3:33. What a souvenir!!! LOL

[laudypapa1]

nothing like petty theft huh?

[JRR951]

lmao

[hero121385]

"hey...how are you?"

[nadeboy7]

I like it how Jack L doesn't say a word the whole time.

[DANIGIRL66]

I happened to really enjoy this clip, and it seems like everyone enjoyed the chance to hang with Pete. Benson seemed as happy as a schoolboy, so maybe we don't have to always read so much into everything in life and just take it for what it is. Even rock stars have heros and if they were laughing and enjoying themselves, I think the situation speaks for itself.

[cdmanga]

i feel bad for benson

he was totally ignored

he deserves more and then on top of that pete didnt give him a chance!

[aineluvzdamoon]

i love how patrick keeler is using his hands as drums =]

[whotles]

Pete

[andrewcasarsa]

talkus?

[whotles]

Yes, talk us.

[DCskate23]

pete is the only good one there

[BigAndo21]

No shit I saw them open for Dylan in Philly. Not to be disrespectful, but they were better than Dylan. They tore the place up.

[RedMel333]

It's so awesome how they just started playin and jammin together... I mean OF COURSE they did, but... it's just awesome especially cuz it's such a great combination of musicians!

[snuffelsuf]

i dont kno who the racontours are but pete is my hero

[lazer59882]

well then you need to go back to your cave

[snuffelsuf]

spare me ....they CANT be all that other i would have heard of em.......i know YOU think they are.....there there....there good: feel better now......u go to a cave jerk

[lazer59882]

wow look who's getting all bitter

have you heard of the white stripes? thats jack white's side project

chill out man dont get so riled up its just a fucking youtube comment

[snuffelsuf]

im not bitter......just seemed like you were dissin me.......just cuz i dont kno a band....its all good .laters

[rogue3838]

Man! you absolutely need to get a hold of some Jack White. He's wonderful. you'll throughly enjoy him. He's a fucking god.

[megelmoose]

literacy run amuck

[snuffelsuf]

so that means we all write good......whatever

[scylentbob]

"so that means we all right well"

retard

[snuffelsuf]

hey if i call people "retard" and mispell "write" will that make me smart ? lmao

[wazzitcalll]

We feel well, but write good. Are you a good writer? A well writer doesn't have the flu.

[jamie0989]

Man, talkus records would have been sick!

[quadr0phenic515]

My two favourite guitar players in the same room... :D

[Billykid514]

These punks don't deserve to string Pete's guitar

[JmAA7192]

How the hell would you be able to fit a Grand Piano in a RV like that??

[lazer59882]

big money does big things my friend

[malpaso99]

New respect for Jack White

[kinney1990]

i LOVE jack and pete so this is sooo amazing!

[thesandman666]

i love it on 3.30 when 'pk' grabs petes pick when it falls out of his pocket. classic.

[shaylahill455]

I don't blame im haha

[mcul2112]

man...that was just !^%#'ing CLASSIC! Jack White meets Pete Townsend and plays...thanks for posting - whovere you are.

[fcolbert666]

Notice that the drummer jacks Petes pick when it falls out of his pocket

[Sokrata]

Haha, I would do the same thing.. =P

I wish I had the chance to snatch Pete Townshend's pick

[Nezaru]

It's the Pick of Destiny

[Sokrata]

Yeah! I love you!

[vernonjoseph]

the seeker was the first single recorded by the who in 1970 after the Tommy album.

[ducky666]

jack white is the coolest motherfucker on the planet.

[whitefanguk]

whose the woman?

[CaptainCharisma1988]

Rachel Fuller, a Brittish singer-songwriter and Pete's woman

[gobbleykins]

Hahah Pete's woman.

[bhicksss]

that was cool

[Spellchecker]

The Seeker is off the album My Generation. Great Jam but would have loved to have had Brendan sing this one...

[FAQFAQ]

actualy it was only ever released as a single around 5 years after that album.

[snuffelsuf]

mabey it was on sods and odds or whatever that one was called

[Stephane333]

so whats that song there playing? sorry for my ignorance... dont know much 70's rock honestly

[squirrellyfurley]

this is so friggin cool, it so great that they filmed this. thankyou whoever for putting this on youtube

[omgthestrokes]

[briski100]

I absolutely love this bit!!! That lady(or man) rockin' out in the back is funny! Must have been hot in there!
