The Raconteurs - Live at the Manchester Apollo 2006-10-15

I've been Jack White crazy since seeing the very cool guitar doc It Might Get Loud. It features Mr. White, Jimmy Page and "The Edge" (I'm not a U2 fan or a fan of anyone that refers to themselves as "The Edge" but his parts were alright). What really got me though was a clip of Jack White raging a solo on the tune "Blue Veins" from The Raconteurs debut album Broken Boy Soldiers. Jack is bleeding all over his guitar (they later show the blood smeared guitar) while he relentlessly hits note after note, each one a darker blue than the last. Anyways, please enjoy and check out that doc when you get a chance.

I'm glad Anonymous. I am actually trying to find a ticket for the event, if you know anyone with an extra, I'll buy it.

Nice one - thanks for this recording.

I gained a lot of respect for Jack White in that movie also.
