This actually is an excellent performance. Like you said, Jack can "sing" when he wants to. He sings like he does in the studio because he has to have at least some mainstream appeal, but at heart Jack is a bluesman, and he sings like one. It's not that he's not trying in his live performances, it's just he's really cutting loose, and it's awesome.
That's the thing...everyone keep saying Jack sounded like shit and whatever. But it doesn't matter if he plays perfectly or not, doesn't matter if you can hear the words, all that matters is the feel. If he feels like playing it like on this record or that you just gotta feel it. Blues or rock don't have to be perfect. It's about the feel. Same about romance, it doesn't have to be perfect unless you feel it. It's about romance, thruth and feels. He's not trying to be perfect, he's trying to feel it as much as he can. That's a real music.
+Nevil Riker He has lots of talent. Check out the work he did on Cold Mountain. They had a tour, something like, Music of Cold Mountain, and it was really awesome stuff if you like string bands and bluegrass.
"There's more black gadgets than faces" Notice his reference to more people living through their phones and tablets instead of enjoying a great day in a great city watching a great musical artist.
A real professional, all real musicians believe in "the show must go on", not walk away like a baby it there are equipment and tech problems.... they just play it!
+alpha java agreed! I've had many things go wrong onstage and you just have to roll with it. My band played a new years eve show and the amps for the main PA blew up so we tipped the monitors on their sides and turned them to face the crowd and played the show that way. It wasn't very loud and it didn't sound very good but it was that or nothing at all
I love the sound of the puny amps out in the parking lot - I am old, so it brings me back to the 60's battle of the bands type performances. Love this guy.
Jack was great. and Seasick Steve did ONE HELL of a job 1. to follow jack white 2. to have technical difficulties 3. with only 3 strings on his guitar wow...
I first viewed this about two years ago. It's what got me started buying Seasick Steve music. Some people like flash, some like substance, some want both. I like it all.
I clicked on this video because it has "Jack White" in the title. But Seasick Steve was the highlight of this video for me. I'm glad that I now know his music.
the white stripes got me into jack white. I've heard some amazing stuff that makes me a fan. he is awesome. Watch 'Under Black Pool Lights' and tell me that's not rock 'n roll. 'It Might Get Loud' is great also. Jack is amazing. This video was not so great but I loved it because I am a fan and not the opposite. Turns out Seasick Steve is also dope. Myself and many more rocked out to this. So go home eletists.
Yeah Buddy ! Jack was Excellent !!!!!! SNL I gotta re watch that ASAP ! Well rehearsed, Band was tight and it was reminiscent of the good ol days of Rock & Roll !!!!
Jack White seemed to give less effort in this performance. For those of you judging him on this one performance i'd look up his Jimmy Falon performance or one of his concerts. He is a creative, talented, unique minded soul. He has a ton of potential and a lot to give to the music industry. If you don't at least see that much i'm not sure why you are watching this video.
Watch it might get loud and say he's a bad guitar player. He makes a guitar out of scrap junk and jams it. He didn't get where he is by playing shitty. Rock on Jack!
+thewoodsystyle he probably go where he is by having a red and white striped stage; white make up and a sexy drummer - oh and he can play and sing a little
For real. Jack is an amazing guitarist. I think him and John Mayer are the best of my generation. Jack had success because he could write melody. Same with anything popular.
Jack White is a fucking magician, when he does Dead Leaves and The Dirty Ground he drops his pick onto his middle and ring finger, then somehow gets it back into the regular position between his thumb and index. I noticed cuz I'm a guitarist, and that's some tricky shit. So props to him for that, I know it's pretty insignificant, but I thought it was cool.
+Rob Pitashe Yeah but I think he knows, after all he decided to open for the guy. Jack White is a living legend but he knows his limitations. I've never seen Jack White boast about him being a good guitar player or singer, quite the contrary he's always saying that he's shit, but he just wants it to be emotional and engaging. And well... he's not shit, I mean he's definitely a pro top tier guitar player, people like me wouldn't imagine to get on his playing level, but say compared to Jimmy Page or B.B. King... He's in their league but he's more in the Cobain sub-tier... raw emotional, not on point, always different... Some say that's the genius of Jack White but sometimes it's really weird, it seems that he's just unable to play the same song the same way twice...
I agree I love Jack White . The only reason he is opening for jacks record label is becasue Jack begged him to frankly. There is an article on it. Much mutual respect but Seasick plays in front of 100k people in UK. He is not nearly as big in the states. Mad respect to them both. I just think Seasick has more emotion, more engaging. I agree though with your assessment of Jack White He plays with sincerity. If I was to be asked what kind of music do you like? I like sincere music. Which Is why I love them both very much at have to be in very different moods. I don't think seasick plays anything same way twice either, part of both of their genius. Seasick guitars and tuning alone wouldn't allow for an identical sound you can see this by his live shows. Thurston Moore once said there is nothing worse than Perfectly Produced Error Free Music it has no soul.
When it comes to tuning there's perfect, close enough for rock 'n' roll, then there's Jack White. I don't know how he gets away with it, but he just does.
Jack White really likes a raw sound, like all emotion and no technique. I think he once said that he liked playing with plastic guitars, cause he liked fighting against that, and getting a good sound out of anything.
lmao great now im gonna go do heroin get a 5 dollar milkshake and not a reference to the movie but beat off to veronique vega she looks like my 3rd gf that lasted more than 3 months...aight i be back
wonder the same, I know you can do one from a old telephone's microphone. then all you have to do is set the gain high enough to distort the amplifier.
i agree completely but then i wonder.. how will i watch it on youtube... if i'm at a venue and people are recording or taking selfies next to the mosh or in an inappropriate place where jumping is going on.... i may accidentally bump toward them more often than not
Every musician should watch this video. So much to learn from. Of course musically but also It's incredible how the cable fuck up only made steve get deeper into the groove. He turned it into a good thing that happened. Brilliant!
I'm TOTALLY...Unimpressed. I've heard this name for some time... So..THIS??...LOL.. Please tell me what there is with this guy...that you can't find on 'talent night'...at practically ANY club anywhere in the United States!...
Rowlandph I've gotta agree. I've heard his name for awhile now, and not familiar with his music. He was in Anchorage just last night for a 'surprise concert' at the college for 3 bucks a head. A few thousand young people stood in line in some less than ideal weather for a chance to see him. I can't put the guy down for what he's doing, more power to him if he can sell it, but like you, I can go down to any of several bars in town and see a more satisfying show most any night. I suppose he speaks to the current generation or something. But hats off to him for providing a concert for 3 bucks! Apparently money is not his chief motivator.And I'd rather see 1,000 shaggy hipsters touring around than just one Justin Bieber.
Good analysis. I'm more like 30 years behind the times. I haven't caught up with that whole Seattle grunge thing. But I did check out some of his other music including earlier stuff with White Stripes and I kinda like it. But I respect the guy for keeping old blues style music alive.
unabonger777 I have little interest in what passes for rock and pop these days... I'm more into jazz guitar...and frankly, this guy would at any time in his career ...be LOST in about 20 seconds...if he were jamming with lots of jazz players.. THAT'S why I'm unimpressed with him... He has such a big name for such meager talent...when it comes to guitar playing...And yet, we'll see these guys all over the 'Best Guitarist' lists that come out every now and then... To each his own..and obviously, you like him...or did. This video came up on my page when I logged on one day....and that's the only reason I played it...Just to see what he'd do with an acoustic... Not much.
Anyone seen the "It Might Get Loud" film? Theres a bit in there where he has a brand new guitar, lays it down and stamps all over the neck. It was a beautiful moment
+Aaron Rios He has a thing for playing guitars from Sears & Roebuck. Yea... really... It is one of the little components that makes his stuff "authentic".
I love jack white. Not just cuz he is very good looking but. Because of the fact that he is such a great musician and hes style is fucken great. I love this guy ^_^

I've never seen anyone think Jack wasn't one of the nicest, most sincere and genuine musicians out there
That’s awesome cause he is truly talented glad to know he is like that and never sold out
He is a true legend!
that didnt age very well now did it
@@lemkee2762🤡

Jesus, this is so raw and imperfect......just the way it should be.....
MamaBoots1111 AGREED 💯
Seriously out of all the artists that currently perform live, Jack White is right up there at the top of my list. That is.... if I had money.
came for jack, stayed for Steve.
This actually is an excellent performance. Like you said, Jack can "sing" when he wants to. He sings like he does in the studio because he has to have at least some mainstream appeal, but at heart Jack is a bluesman, and he sings like one. It's not that he's not trying in his live performances, it's just he's really cutting loose, and it's awesome.
He doesn't give a sh*t about tuning the guitar. Close enough, lets play! True rock'n'roll spirit!
Your ears fall into his tuning very quickly and all is good
That's the thing...everyone keep saying Jack sounded like shit and whatever. But it doesn't matter if he plays perfectly or not, doesn't matter if you can hear the words, all that matters is the feel.

That's a real music.
I know that feel is a big factor when trying on
new shoes....
LUKY preachin the truth
+LUKY feeling without skill is just a testament to his lack of commitment to the art.
+Nevil Riker He has lots of talent. Check out the work he did on Cold Mountain. They had a tour, something like, Music of Cold Mountain, and it was really awesome stuff if you like string bands and bluegrass.
+LUKY And the fact is that he actually play perfectly every single notes. He's a genius.
"There's more black gadgets than faces"
Notice his reference to more people living through their phones and tablets instead of enjoying a great day in a great city watching a great musical artist.
I have to agree...Put down the freaking phone for a minute! You won't die if you miss a FB update!!!
What's even worse is a majority of people filming via phone, rarely go back and view it nor appreciate more than the actual live performance.
wow deep
ur watching this because someone filmed it on their black gadget
maybe moving from to nashville means ur gonna play to less black people
@@nickhackett5643 the op is the type of person to explain a joke

from film "it might get loud"
alpha java a real musician would tune his guitar but playing 😏
You could tell he was slightly put off when he came out and saw "more black gadgets than faces" probably why he didn't seem into
Seasick Steve is fantastic.
God Steve is such a badass. Handles their power issues like a god
I love the sound of the puny amps out in the parking lot - I am old, so it brings me back to the 60's battle of the bands type performances. Love this guy.
and every note that comes out your mouth is a tiny little gift to us!
Jack was great. and Seasick Steve did ONE HELL of a job
1. to follow jack white
2. to have technical difficulties
3. with only 3 strings on his guitar
wow...
Two legends playing together making my ovaries explode of awsomeness.
A wild Seasick Steve appears at the end!
Seasick Steve, a rare breed, God Bless you, someone finally bringing back music to it roots, I really enjoyed it
I first viewed this about two years ago. It's what got me started buying Seasick Steve music. Some people like flash, some like substance, some want both. I like it all.
I love jack white but man, I'm a sucker for goddamned seasick steve.
What a beautiful sounding guitar
That awkward feeling when Seasick Steve rocks harder on 3-string guitar that you do on 6-string.
Kristian Kolar great comment so true
you need to check out ``BRUSHY ONE STRING`` :D
Well...Give jack his Kay and maybe we have a competition
I clicked on this video because it has "Jack White" in the title.
But Seasick Steve was the highlight of this video for me. I'm glad that I now know his music.

Myself and many more rocked out to this. So go home eletists.
anything more like lazaretto? thats hard...i like his solo stuff cuz of ikey owens RIP
Can’t believe it’s already been 11 years since I first watched this
all this and he was chewing gum at the same time....wow...
either he swallowed it or I was seeing him chewing his cud...cause I think he stops
many singers chew gum actually for saliva, take a look at dave growhl :)
fluffyfish094 Dave Grohl chews lots of gum
Kiersten Cece I know mate thats what I said
Blake Wright foo fighters....
Yeah Buddy ! Jack was Excellent !!!!!! SNL I gotta re watch that ASAP !
Well rehearsed, Band was tight and it was reminiscent of the good ol days of Rock & Roll !!!!
Jack White plus Seasick Steve = one really great performance!
Second song is by seasick Steve - cut off my wings
So glad I got to see him play at this year's SXSW. He's always a great act.
Jack White seemed to give less effort in this performance. For those of you judging him on this one performance i'd look up his Jimmy Falon performance or one of his concerts.

hmm?
i always love watching this video
It’s pretty incredible how seasick Steve comes out of nowhere and shows jack what’s up
I love Jack White, but I always come back to this video for Seasick Steve ;)
Watch it might get loud and say he's a bad guitar player. He makes a guitar out of scrap junk and jams it. He didn't get where he is by playing shitty. Rock on Jack!

Jason May jack white blows john mayer out of the fucking water. r u even serious?
What great guitars these guys have. My word. So raw. Excellent music
Seasick Steve rocks.
Thank you for sharing this, I really enjoyed listening!

Nevermind, tried it and as it turns out pick balance perfectly even on the tip of a finger, it's just about having a steady wrist.
Zach Rakar jack white uses a pick...
Zach Rakar
OK what ever he uses a pick, he doesn't dose matter if he dose?
People been doing that for a while. Garcia was the master bc his middle finger was half chopped off b

Somebody gets it. You have moderately restored my faith in humanity. Thank you.
3 strings trance wonder
The song is Cut My Wings if somebody wondered
Thank you! Shazam couldn't figure it out and it was driving me crazy!
Steve fuckin rocked it!!! Such a killer style, reminds me of the backwoods of Louisiana
I forgot how much I loved this song!! and this singer!
Man i came here for jack white but the old man at the end has rhythm, even when the shitty amplifier didn't work
Miguel Angel Lopez Shitty guitar, not shitty amplifier.
It wasn't shitty guitar or shitty amplifier. Shitty power source
the world has no idea what Jack White is capable of!!! Legend (:
4:40 Jack's hunted by Son House
see you in july jack white! can not wait!

wow!! It's the first time I listen to this guy Steve Seasick and I'm really impressed
whats the name of the song that Seasick Steve plays
Esquece oq vc tem em casa é só um brinquedo.. Violão de verdade é isso ai !
That guitar is beautiful.
Sweet baby jesus, I would have passed out and died from sheer excitement. SO stoked for "Blunderbuss"!
so nice!!!! he make blues of the new generation and my inspiration!!!!
Seasick Steve really handled that like a champ
Jack got owned
i come back to this all the time to watch steve absolutely steal the show
At 8:31 am I the only one that sees Vincent Vega (John Travolta) from Pulp Fiction?
yes
Wake up, its the guy who spends about 10 secs talking to everyone at the start of the video.
Ben swanks
lmao
great now im gonna go do heroin
get a 5 dollar milkshake
and not a reference to the movie but beat off to veronique vega she looks like my 3rd gf that lasted more than 3 months...aight i be back
Not Fade away is a classic, buit it gets really exciting when he plays his own song as second.
What a cool type, he has done so much for good music!
i just started teaching myself guitar a few weeks ago. jack white is my biggest inspiration :)
Jack White is a truly BRILIANT artist !!!
What Mic is that?
wonder the same, I know you can do one from a old telephone's microphone. then all you have to do is set the gain high enough to distort the amplifier.
It's a type or harmonica microphone
I know that now! but thanks alot! its some sort of Shure Bullet :)
Regards!
Shane Fell Its Mr Microphone!!!!!!!! Lol
Shane Fell I’m not exactly sure, but the Shure SM-57 should do the job!
what a beautiful guitar
put down your camera, put down your phone. enjoy the music.
i agree completely but then i wonder.. how will i watch it on youtube...
if i'm at a venue and people are recording or taking selfies next to the mosh or in an inappropriate place where jumping is going on.... i may accidentally bump toward them more often than not
ok boomer
That was amazing. I keep telling my son to keep playing. He's so talented, doesn't think he has anything going on with it. I need to show him this.
Every musician should watch this video. So much to learn from. Of course musically but also It's incredible how the cable fuck up only made steve get deeper into the groove. He turned it into a good thing that happened. Brilliant!

Yeah, sorry. He did say in some interviews that he likes to use those cheap guitars. But this aint one of them!
Daniel Matlock i think she's a little beauty. The naysayers have no idea about guitars
saw the one and only truck at third man records in Nashville this past fall... got a picture with it.... was quite awesome. met and talked to "Cowboy"
