There was an announcement before Jack White hit the Madison Square Garden stage- keep your cell phones in your pocket and watch the show with your own eyes.
For the most part the crowd complied with the request and it was a pleasure not to have to watch the concert through and around the three inch screen of the person in the row in front of you. I’ve never been one to take photos or video during a show; if I want to see something from a show I have attended I’ll go to You Tube or Google Images. The tour may go on but THIS show only happens once.
Jack White is a throwback- there were no video screens on stage, no close ups of guitar solos; a simple blue curtain was moved away and the rock and roll show was on the stage; the music was loud, rocking, and eclectic. While many of the arena acts touring these days are on their third or fourth farewell tour playing the greatest hits for the umpteenth time, Mr, White is at the height of his artistic powers.
Live rock and roll and the crowd living in the moment- the way the music was meant to be experienced.
