The Raconteurs Rocked Glasgow 3.21.06
The Raconteurs stiffy is not abating for the Merry Swankster, au contraire. Stereogum posted a review from Glasgow on what was the 2nd ever show for the band. Jack wore a kilt and the Scottish ladies loved it. The show was very good. I'm even more excited than I was 15 minutes ago.
An excerpt:
"They sound as they do on their single released so far; a good blues inspired rock band. Tonight they are a five piece. In addition to Jack, Brendan and the rhythm section from the Greenhornes, they have Dave Fertita on keyboards. The surprise is Jack; without the burden of having to create the background noise hiimself he is free to go off on Neil Young-esque solos." (via STEREOGUM)
Reviewer Andrew C. is surprised by Jack's freedom, I am not.
Quoting myself: "You ever wish that Jack White would form a proper band so that his immense talent could be unleashed without the need for him to literally cover every musical aspect of the music?"
