Jack and his stellar band — drummer Daru Jones, bassist Dominic John Davis and keyboardist Quincy McCrary — got the surprise set underway with a pair of songs from his new album Fear Of The Dawn beginning with the lead single, “Taking Me Back,” followed by the title track. The guitarist then really took it back with The White Stripes classic “Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground” ahead of “Love Interruption” off his 2012 debut solo album Blunderbuss.
White then followed with another “love” song, “Love Is Selfish,” a single from his second release of 2022, Entering Heaven Alive, due out on July 22 via his Third Man Records. While the single arrived in January, Jack introduced the song as being written “two and a half days ago.”
After the White Stripes acoustic favorite “Hotel Yorba” and the title track to his 2014 solo record Lazaretto, White dipped into material from his Dead Weather project with “I Cut Like A Buffalo” ahead of Fear Of The Dawn’s “What’s The Trick?” The guitarist would dedicate the rest of the set to White Stripes and Raconteurs material including the former’s “I’m Slowly Turning Into You” and “Cannon” as well as the latter’s “You Don’t Understand Me” and “Steady, As She Goes.”
The tail end of the set featured Stripes classics including the raucous “Ball And Biscuit” and the rousing closer “Seven Nation Army.” Watch pro-shot video of those performances below:
