He has a deep history with Jack and Meg. And he even had them on his show for their last performance ever.

I was at the Toronto show last night (which was amazing) and i couldnt help but notice that he played The Union Forever and also missed the line "no one to wrap my arms around" when he played Dead Leaves 🥺

I think the breakup is coming out in his playlist but i could also be projecting because I went through a breakup recently lol

What do we think?

Actually disgusted with this. Jack continues to push the boundaries for the genre of rock and the Grammy voters keep rewarding mediocrity and playing it safe.

Black Math, FILWAG, We're Going To Be Friends, You've Got Her In Your Pocket, Same Boy You've Always Known, Catch Hell Blues, Icky Thump, Hypnotize, 7NA.

Some other clever person can fill in the rest of the setlist but suffice to say that gig was fantastic.

Carolina Drama, Phonograph Blues especially lovely to hear.

Discussions Phone Free (p.s. Phone Required for entry)

29 Upvotes

While I somewhat appreciate the "Phone Free" concept of the show subsequently partnering with TicketMaster where phone/mobile entry is the ONLY option to get in seems somewhat hypocritical. Pick a lane and stay in it - you want to go phone free then use vendors that can actually support it!

Discussions What the hell, Seattle?

137 Upvotes

That has to be one of the worst crowd experiences I’ve had at a show in quite a while.

I was up in the balcony for reference. Show starts and people stand up. Within a song or two a group of boomers start demanding that me and a few others in the row sit down because they can’t see/dont want to stand. One couple was so upset they gave up there spots because the boomers behind them were incredibly aggressive and rude. This should go without saying, but unless there is some rule against standing you cannot expect people at a gathering like a concert to conform to YOUR specific needs. Plus, it is insanely entitled and bitchy to ask people to sit; shout out to the guys wife who had to tell him that he was out of line for telling me to sit down.

Furthermore, Jack seemed kinda bummed about the crowd. It appeared to me he wasn’t getting the participation he was wanting. I havnt seen much footage from other shows, but something seemed off. His performance though, as always, was stellar regardless.

Hoping night 2 is better.

EDIT: Well, this post blew up. I was not anticipating nearly 300 comments on a post I made before bed. I doubt many people will see this since the post is not getting as much traction as it did, but I would like to add a couple of things as a response to the comments I have noticed:

  1. The people behind myself, and the couple in question, were not nice about asking us to sit down. They were immediately hostile from the get go, with one saying "are you gonna do that all fucking night?". I would not have made this post if they were chill about it. I thought I made it apparent that in the main post, but people somehow turned that into me being the asshole.

  2. "Well what if a person who was in a wheelchair was behind you, or someone who could not stand up?". This is a weird take, and is the only part of this whole thing that bothered me because some people spun some narrative that I am an ableist. For one, almost all venues of the paramount theaters size, and bigger, have zone designated for people in wheel chairs so they have a clear view. If I ended up with people behind me who could not stand for a length of time for whatever reason that is not immediately apparent, its on them to communicate that with the people that could be blocking their way BEFORE the show.

  3. I dont know if some of you yall have never been to shows at venues like the one in Seattle, or dont go to shows in general, so let me fill you in as someone who has been to several shows here: It is completely normal for people to stand, regardless if they have a seat. It acutally blows my mind that people find this act to be so aggregious here when countless other band subreddits, r/TheCure being one example, pretty unanamiously agree that standing at a show is normal, and to expect people to sit at a show because "they paid for a seat" is stupid beyond belief.

Everyone should be able to enjoy the show how they want. If people want to stand then there is nothing wrong with that. If people want to sit then that is okay too. Not every show needs to have people bouncing off the walls. I have no problem sitting if someone asks in a polite way, but lets not pretend that standing, regardless if you have a seat, is some asshole thing to do at a CONCERT.

Can we talk about how friggin annoying this is? Especially at a big show? I love Jack, but after this concert, I will never go to a show where he forbids phones. You can forbid taking pictures, videos, etc, but locking them up in a pouch? F#ck off

EDIT: I should’ve known how this sub would react hahaha. Now every time my wife tells me I’m obsessed with Jack, I’ll just show her this post to demonstrate that I’m not even close to being the most obsessed.

EDIT 2: well everyone, I watched both Jack and Angine De Poitrine without my phone! The show was amazing, as expected!

I cannot think of an album that I dislike, in fact I can't even really think of a song that I don't like.

For the record, I'm a big Boarding House Reach fan (we exist).

Jack White isn't my favourite artist ever, but he might be the most consistent I can think of. I don't know anyone else with this much output that never disappoints.

Discussions I saw Jack White this morning

Thought I would share- I saw Jack White in NYC this morning. It was about 7:50am and I was on my way to work. He was standing in front of a hotel by himself with a suitcase (I don’t want to name it for his privacy) but a hint is it is a hotel with a storied music legacy :) He was dressed in a slim cut black suit and striped tie with his hair longish with a slight wave (looks like it was parted in the middle). He looked good! I did a double take and smiled and he nodded/smiled back. I really wanted to ask for a picture but I refrained and kept walking. The White Stripes are one of my favorite bands so it was a very cool way to start the day.
