Jack White celebrated Third Man Records' third birthday last night (March 8) by showcasing tracks from his forthcoming debut album 'Blunderbuss' along with tracks by The White Stripes, The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather.
The star ran through a 19-song set for a select audience, which included six tracks off his new album. He played the set in the lounge of of his label's headquarters in Nashville.
Kicking off with The White Stripes' 2001 classic 'Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground', he then introduced three 'Blunderbuss' cuts - the piano-driven 'Missing Pieces', 'Sixteen Saltines' and recent single 'Love Interruption', which he previously performed on Saturday Night Live. You can see that performance again by scrolling down and clicking below.
He then went on to perform The Raconteurs' 'Top Yourself', The Dead Weather's 'Blue Blood Blues', The White Stripes' 'Hotel Yorba', 'You're Pretty Good Looking (For A Girl), 'We're Going To Be Friends', 'Seven Nation Army' and another new track 'Hypocritical Kiss'.
Although Dead Weather singer Alison Mosshart and The Raconteurs bassist Jack Lawrence were watching in the audience, White chose to use his own backing band for his set, reports Jam Canoe.
He wrapped up the show with a cover of Leadbelly's 'Goodnight Irene'.

Interesting that he played songs from each major group he's been associated with. I never expected to hear White Stripes songs at a Raconteurs or Dead Weather show, but many fans will be thrilled if this set list is any indication of what he's going to be playing on his solo debut tour... I like the idea of a show where I could hear Jack White do "Seven Nation Army" AND "Steady As She Goes" AND a totally new song with a jagged rock rip guitar solo... (MD)
