My Doorbell, Fell in Love with a Girl and You've got her in Your Pocket. I don't think they got many plays during his last tour, i'll check in a bit. Love to hear all these classic Stripes tunes again. I'd rather hear Two Against One than The Rose With the Broken Neck.

knowing Jack White he'll pull out a completely different set list for every show as Jack don't do set lists.

Yeah but seeing that he is mixing it up again fills me with joy.

[WS_Jack_III]

Just looked it up on Setlist FM, he played Icky Thump twice last tour, Fell in Love with a Girl only 5 times, You've Got Her In Your Pocket just 4 times, My Doorbell 19 times (Way more than i thought, i saw him do it twice myself)

[Ipayne]

I never even realised he'd played it solo before to be honest! My Doorbell was one of the highlights of the Brid gig IMO

Shame there are no dead Weather songs in that playlist. Saw that he was playing Cut Like A Buffalo in some sets but looks unlikely that he will play it .

Which band did he do this set with?

Edit: just found out. The Buzzards plus Lily Mae from The Peacocks.

I'd love to see him play Icky Thump, one of my favourite White Stripes songs.

[addicted2noise]

That's a hell of a set list. Also what are the chances of a Robert Plant collaboration on the lemon song?

[WS_Jack_III]

Lemon song was a snippit apparently.

[Babyquack]

Jack's on Steve Lamacq's show on Radio 6 next tuesday at 4pm with an exclusive interview about the new LP if anyone's interested

[AdamWillingham]

Anyone think he'll perform Jolene?!

[Amy Lawn]

Yeah it's great, I'd even take it over Seven Nation Army.

[WS_Jack_III]

Is Icky Thump Jack's best song?

it has my favourite lyric (which has already been half quoted):

White Americans, what? nothing better to do?

Why don't you kick yourself out, you're an immigrant too

That's also my favourite lyric by Jack.

[TomViolence]

Would love to see Icky kept in. The whole album is glorious, so much of it I'd love to see live that I haven't (mainly Catch Hell Blues)

It's just so shoutable, I think I have a mental tic where I just shout this entire verse without even thinking about it. It only manifests itself at home, in private though, which is for the best, I'm forever yelling it in the shower.

[Ipayne]

Catch Hell Blues, Rag & Bone etc. <3

[WS_Jack_III]

Anyone for Blue Orchid?

Edit: he's got too many great songs. This is why I was hoping to see him in London. Fancy changing the date of the gig.

The White Stripes did Rag and Bone a few times. Love that song. I remember buying the NME to get the free single.

[WS_Jack_III]

Wrong album.

Yeah I was just adding it to the list of good songs.

Edit: I knew you'd say that by the way.

In other Jack White news, he's been bitching about The Black Keys again. I wish he'd give it a rest now. They've left the blues rock sound behind now anyway.

[dentalplan]

I think Icky Thump rescued TWS for me. I felt the two preceding were kinda simplistic and watered down to advance upon the wide appeal they were getting but Icky Thump showed what they were worth before they clocked off.

[Amy Lawn]

I'm glad that Hotel Yorba seems to be a live staple, that strikes me as the song that would be the best played live to a large crowd of people. And yes, I know it's on White Blood Cells, but I wont conform to your Icky Thump regime. Fuck the police!

I get what you're saying about the previous too albums, and don't disagree, but I just want to highlight that Little Acorns is such a great bastard of a track, that I tend to forgive that the rest of Elephant is a bit plodding.

Elephant. Plodding. Didn't even plan that pun, but I'll take it. Athankyou.

[WS_Jack_III]

How can people think Elephant isn't great! Start to finish, i don't skip a track.
