The Raconteurs in Exchange for Babysitting

A friend offered to trade me tickets to the Raconteurs (pronounced "Rock-on-tours") at the Roseland a few weeks ago in exchange for babysitting. Best trade ever! Jack White is trying to take low profile in this new band he put together. Yeah right! Man can he ever play guitar. I tried to get some shots of Jack White from afar. This is the best I could do.



My favorite part of the evening was their rendition of Bang Bang. This song is originally by Sonny and Cher. But the best version is by Nancy Sinatra. Anyway. There is nothing like hearing Jack White screeching "bang bang" followed by the bass drum richocheting throughout the theater and a single white light blaring blindingly into the crowd from on stage. Click on the link above to watch it on You Tube. He gets really shrill further into the song. Only Jacky boy could pull it off. This is rock and roll at its finest. Lots of people can play guitar. But Jack REALLY plays guitar.
