Every record executive in the world should want an artist like Jack White on their label. Whether with the White Stripes or the Raconteurs, White is a fiery, passionate and inventive performer, approaching a show with a life or death commitment. He's the type who makes audiences believe in rock 'n' roll and there just are not enough of his type around anymore.
The Raconteurs demonstrated how to command a large stage with nothing more than performance and material; its was gritty and intense, paced impeccably and balanced between nuanced hard rock and modern extensions of the blues. It was a set that should be remembered for years.

The Raconteurs' set list (or so my notes say):
Consoler of the Lonely / You Don't Understand me / Top Yourself / Old Enough / Yellow Sun / Blue Veins / Level / Attention / Hands / Many Shades of Black / Salute Your Solution / Steady as She Goes / Rich Kid Blues / Carolina Drama
