    Well I listened to some stuff from all his projects on Spotify and really like everything I heard, so I went to the record store today and picked up the White Stripes self titled. I guess I'll just go through the discographies at this point. I really don't know how I missed these great tunes for all these years. But, better late than never, right? Thanks for all the suggestions guys and girls!

    ... I could not be more stoked for the show tomorrow night. I caught him in Seattle and it was killer.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    He did not say one word to the crowd the entire night and played for only 1 hr and 15 minutes. I am officially done giving this guy my money.

    Well great show Friday in Boston.
    You must have been on the floor, because it sounded like total shit every where else in that building (I know because out of sheer desperation I spent the whole evening searching for ANY place to stand that sounded halfway decent).

    I will never ever ever EVER see another live show at the Aganis Arena in Boston. My ticket money was totally wasted. I wished I hadn't gone and just hung on to my memory of seeing him in Amsterdam at the Heineken music hall.

    I could tell that the performance was good, but the house sound system was the absolute worst I've ever heard anywhere.

    One set of PA speakers hanging high on either side of the stage, cranked too loud in order to fill a college hockey arena. The only thing that was produced was loud muddy noise. I couldn't understand one lyric.

    Imagine the worst sounding bootleg on PJ radio, crank the bass all the way up, the treble all the way down and put the speakers under a coffee can, this would have sounded better.

    I have bought everything he has ever released and seen every act he has been a part of, and I was pissed when the show ended last night. I can't even imagine how the people felt at the Saturday show. Last night my girlfriend and I took a cab back to my place, watched multiple tv shows and went to sleep before a Bruce show would even finish :lol:.

    Oh, and OP, all White Stripes albums should be listened to before anything else. Just start at 1 and go through 6.

    FUCKERS!

    I'm not sure if it's the venue man. Sounds like there are a few people complaining about the sound. I saw him at The Shrine in L.A., front and center in the balcony, and the sound was horrible. It was WAY to loud on top of that even to Jack's standards I would say. Five songs in it was ear plugs and alcohol for us. That made it a little better. Good performance though.

    Seconded. I rarely listen to the last 2 albums, but they're worth getting.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.
