  • whats a big muff?

    

  • i love how jack white always gets really into it

  • Jack lawrence must not be able to hear his vocals lol

  • Awesome tune!best band in the fucking world,and I cant see why they don't get the recognition for it,mind you any thing jack does is awesome and he gel's well with Brendan and not forgetting J.Lawrence and Patrick,fucking awesome!

  • What was Jack singing at 3:00 ?

  • thank god these guys are back on tour

  • @BlindJamesMcTell WHAT?!?!?!?

  • jack white is the only guy "good enough" to run that shit

  • Patrick freakin Keeler is a fucking amazing drummer. Just incredible.

  • Mr. JACK WHITE can do no wrong in my eyes!! :)

  • Jack W. is my fucking love xD

  • WOW. This sounds so much like the studio version. Incredible playing.

  • 3 Bieber fans dont know what they're gonna do now...

  • Damn good tune.

  • it's impossible not to love this song.

  • I LOVE JACK MORE AND MORE EVERYTIME I SEE HIM!!

  • @Spunny333 Ditto!

  • I love White Stripes, but after i saw movie IT MIGHT GET LOUD, it came to me that Jack White still is THE MAN and Raconteurs rock. Rock is not dead

  • @jindars ROCK WILL NEVER DIE!!!! Have you seen the different sections at Best Buy? WAY bigger selection of rock than any other genre. Rock will never die, my friend. Especially with people like Jack White in the bizz.

  • Sorry Lawrence but stay off vocals.

  • this is kinda like the racounteurs version of slowly turning into you to me awesome stuff

  • Brendan Benson reminds of a young Robert Plant. 

  • thank god music is still alive

  • and motherfucker whos crazy enough to run a big muff through a acoustic guitar is good by me.

  • Jack White is a legend

  • 0:16 to 0:20 Did anybody else see this?

  • @thommytaranto LMAO!

  • @thommytaranto What am i looking at? :s

  • The version of this song with Ricky Skaggs and Ashley Monroe and Raconteurs is awesome.

  • jack whites guitar is beautiful

  • I've tried to like these guys' other stuff but this is the only song that gets me going but i'll be damned if it isn't one of the best songs i've ever heard.

  • I dont think jack is off i think that his voice is so different from the others that it stands out, not off

  • Love it

  • Amazing.

    Leave LJ alone, he's perfect. I think it's just the transition onto youtube making it sound a little off. It's really not that much though.

    Jack looks hot here except for those sideburns. I'm glad they're gone, no offence Jackie!

  • I never realised how much Patrick Keeler (the drummer) put into this song i mean if you keep an eye on him the whole time you will see he is really smacking those things a lot more than you think.

  • poor little jack....haha he probably couldn't hear brendan at all. usually he's spot on.

  • Man, Jack White is the only guy with enough balls to run an acoustic through a big muff.

  • @MaddMan95 I do it too :D

  • @MaddMan95 See "Jack Conte"

  • @MaddMan95 - I guess you have never heard of Monte Montgomery playing Little Wing.

  • @MaddMan95 ive done it!

  • @MaddMan95 you should check out johnossi. he does interessting stuff with distorting his acoustic.

  • @MaddMan95 i did it with my grandpas acoustic electric Taylor and it screeched and woke them all up at 11 pm hahaha old ppl goin to bed early

  • @MaddMan95 and wearing no underwear in skinny jeans!

  • LOL I think they just had Lil Jack too high in the mix.

  • yeah, i was there and i don't remember it being this unharmonious.

  • @claytoncoyne nope they have him just right, love it with the bass boosted!

  • nah I meant his voice is too high in the mix... bass is sounding solid as Sears

  • ouch lil jack seemed way off

  • I hope they fired the guy singing harmonies.

  • oh, those background vox hurt...song still rocks though

  • what does he sing at 3:00

  • Oh my goodness!!! Lil' Jack can't sing!!! I mean, I love him as a bassist and all... but goodness. :)

  • I am sure you are an expert...

  • Well, I am QUITE musical and yes, I can tell when someone's off pitch.

  • I appreciate your comment-no hard feelings I hope;)

  • @ilovejackandmeg yea really no one cares. singing isnt as hard as playing an instrument. unless its scat. little jacks an amazing bass player. lay off. the performance was excellent

  • @ilovejackandmeg agreed, mayhaps he was having an off day, or couldn't hear his harmony D:

  • as all the drummers in the world are being compaired ill throw one out there

    Danny Fucking Carey =D

  • patricks drumming is very solid and consistant, while still being creative and tasteful, very fun to play along to

  • THE RACONTEURS ROCKS!!:)

  • wow, this is an awesome band or what

  • Best drummer you've ever seen? Are you 12 years old? He certainly is good, as are the other band members, but c'mon, dude. You are 12 years old and/or his nephew if you mean that.

  • That harmony is rancid...BUT, Patrick Keeler is awesome.

  • ya... that was pretty bad

  • no where near as good as glasto

  • Very nice

  • Patrick is the best drummer i've ever seen.

  • Patrick is an excellent drummer but I implore you to keep looking if you think he's the best. Terry Bozzio, Mark brzezicki, Neil Peart, and on and on and on.

  • neil pert is too technical for me, he has no emotion but i've never heard of the other two, i'll look them up sometime

  • Thank god someone agrees with me about neil peart man.... i don't want to hear a guy dancing around a 25 piece rotating drumset for 10 minutes... I dig drummers who are dynamic and tasteful... keelers drumming on their recordings is pretty sick!!!

  • thank you! i can just barely stand neil pert, but PK kicks ass! and so does Keith moon, but i think i prefer PK

  • keith moon is definitely the shit, but from that era I gotta go with mitch mitchell... his jazz rolls blow my mind!

  • Playing drums is not a competition. I implore you to play football or roller derby instead of drums.

  • I'm not even sure how your comment even relates to what we're talking about...

  • I was replying to LDRNVA. Just a couple comments above yours. Did that help you figure out what's going on?

  • Ah k that makes more sense...

  • Leave jacks hair alone :P! hecan sill pull it off quite trendy

  • a little too much dissonance in the supposed "harmony" near the start but when they perform this song well (this isn't one of their better versions IMO) it's a good listen. I just hate that I work at American Eagle and every hour or so they play this live version of the song when there are ones out there that the harmony is better attained.

  • I fully agree with this statement, there wasn't harmony at the beginning, and you honestly didn't deserve thumbsdowns for saying so. There are better versions, and anyone can pick up that no sense of harmony was achieved in this take. People should understand that it's not a rag on the whole band, just one small component of one song. Critique improves work. Now if you received thumbsdowns because you work at American Eagle, well, not going to argue that one.

  • hahaha

  • dont hate on the guy for workin at AE

    its a job we cant help it haha

  • I don't work there anymore, thank heavens.

  • Bands like this make me have faith in the music - even if there's a lotta crap out nowadays. You guys are AWESOME! ! !

  • I love The Raconteurs, but man that bass player's pitch sucks.

  • lol jack white somewhat looks like johnny knoxville

  • well fuck me, if the raconteurs aren't considered music I might as well jump off a building.

  • Jack's haircut is retarded....awesome band though.

  • lol

  • yea, maybe. but Jack's the bomb... like tick. tick.

  • haha agreed...he's seen better haircuts. He has the best cuts with The White Stripes though...his best hair was like in the White Blood Cells era. It's what the band that counts but still. I thought Get Behind Me Satan was his worst hair days but when 2008 came I saw it and was like "HOLY SHIT!"

    JACK: you seriously need a new haircut.

  • haha his haircut now is a bit crazy.... it might be left over from when he played Elvis in Walk Hard haha. His best was during the Broken Boy Soldier days i think

  • There is hope that good music can still happen and this is proof.Radio has nothing left to offer me except worn out songs and cookie cutter crap.Thanks for keeping it fresh guys.

  • keeler and lawrence are such a great rythym section. terrific band.

  • Definitely one of the greatest rock bands of our time

  • in 30 or 40 years young people like myself

    will still listen to this band and think:

    "why was i not born before they came along"

    it's a nice feeling to know that there still are some great bands like these :)

  • guys stop talking about jack white in this band. i think he prefers you just call em the raconteurs. he doesnt seem to try and hog the stage.

  • that may be true, but he's still an attention fiend. at the end of this show he deliberately fell into and smashed all the amps at the front of the stage.

  • what's the last song?

  • the most righteous band in all the land !!!!

  • I think brendan is a better singer than jack, especially if u check out consoler of the lonely live

  • its all about taste jack plays guitar better but each is better at singing diffrent kinds of songs :p

  • jacks part in consoler of the lonely is a voice shredder though

  • I think they both have awesome voices but I do have to say the first time I heard The Switch and The Spur, Benson singing, I was blown away! His voice in that song in untouchable it's so good!

  • u shouldnt care about whos better than who. there both in the band for a reason

  • this is the version they put on the single. if u go to the website and check it out it says this is on there. apparently there is an acoustic version that they did back stage or something too

  • man, they're so epic when they play live

  • LJ voice is a bit out of pitch but i don't mind he's great any way

  • i agree lj needs to work on his singing but i LOVE that pianist/fiddle player in the bacrounds voice!

  • Who cares if he's off pitch? LJ's awesome!

  • brendan is the sexiest man alive

  • psh. only if you arent counting jack.

  • Haha, screw both of them, Ben Blackwell ftw.

    ;)

  • i dunno, im a straight guy and i think both jack and brendan are hott. and you are right, ben is a good looking man, but to me, jack takes the cake.

  • Straight men making gay comments FTW!

  • lol

  • saw them live in boston... actually thought it was better than this.

  • i think LJ needs work on his harmonies there

  • I think Jack has a crush on brendan

  • Everytime I listen to their new album, it reminds me of the WHO. It's kick ass!

  • So True, easily best album of 2008!

  • completely agree. kicks ass all the way through.

  • My only hope is to see Jack White live at least once before I die.

  • Yeah if you're a fan you have to...i saw him for first time at lolla 08 and the man is a performer. I have to see him with the stripes before I die (worst feeling ever when icky thump tour was canceled after I bought two tickets for aragon ballroom in chicago)

  • seen both the stripes and the racs live... life changing, man.

  • is this a single?

  • This is off the new album bud

  • aah i see. not a massive fan but this song is gooood.

  • The new album is leaps and bounds better then the old one, check it out sometime, you might just become a big fan. I didn't really like them atall after the first album, but as of this album they're one of my favorite bands.

  • I don't know, I kind of liked the Beatles-ness of the first album. The second album is definitely more of a rock record, but I think they both have a lot going for them.

  • what a drummer!

  • what happened to all of the other high quality bonnaroo vids

  • They took 'em off YouTube for some reason. D:

  • brendan using a telecaster instead of his guild?? whoooa.

  • Ino right?!?

  • maybe he only breaks it out for festivals

  • he's been using a lot lately.

    at the show in saint louis (june 12th) was the first time i saw it, but i've seen it in pictures of almost every show after.

  • I hope his guild is ok... he used it for just about all of his solo career, and in every racs vid I've seen it's there

    it's on the cover of their record too, and it's the only one he used at the show I saw

    bee zarre

  • The Racs are awesome, as soon as tickets went on sale for the Greek Theater I bought them.

  • I fucking love these guys i wish they would come 2 the foundtoin that would be sick

  • jacks overdriven acoustic tone blows my mind - incredible video, incredible performance, thanks!

  • could mr. benson get any more attractive?!!

  • I've got a brother who looks exactly the same, you could have him if you want, special price.

  • I've got a mate who looks exactly like him.

  • only if he was on my we we

  • This is, by far, my favorite Racs song. I am so glad there's a high-quality video up!

  • amazing

  • I love how Jack changes the lyrics a little when he sings. It's cool how he think up new lyrics for the songs on the spot.

  • COME TO EDMONTON PLEASSSSEEEE!

  • I love jack white and the whole band except one...yes the bassist...WHY is he ALWAYS looking depressed like 24/7 seriously he needs to smile sometime

  • i don't think he's depressed but just very concentrated on bass playing

  • i dont think so...if he was so concentrated he would be the best bass player in the world...jacks not so "concentrated" but he's one of the greatesr musicians ever...how do you explain that?

  • He is a very good bass player.

  • im not doubting his ability...im just saying he shouldnt be so depressed all the time

  • Say Whaa he is really active just not jack white active
