Don't think so, I can ask.

So, The Black Lips, The Black Angels, and The Black Doors?  If you could land The Black Keys you'd hit for the cycle.

Black Mountain for the win.

Nope, just the Austin show.

Hope they crush it in ATX!

[Nuge 1964]

This is a free show for all y'all in Austin.
Might need to make a reservation.

I will also be in the St.V pit

[jimmyjazz 45621]

Turns out we'll be at the Jack White show (Mohawk) tonight after all.  Should be a madhouse.

will be there as well.  I know they open at 5PM but they say doors at 8pm.  Mohawk usually allows in/out but who knows for this show.

[jimmyjazz 45621]

We'll get there ~ 7:30, I'm definitely not hanging out for hours drinking shitty beer.

Well, it wouldn't be the first time, but still.

yep. boy scout motto.  should be crazy.  I've never been there for a sold out show.

[4th&Five 41477]

He played at Continental this afternoon. 
I’m not a fan of Mohawk when it’s crowded. The sight lines can be pretty shitty. I usually just end up on the top deck if I can’t get down front. The beer choices are quite good though.

He’s back in May

Same. I saw The Black Keys there during SXSW this year, and it was probably the most uncomfortable I’ve ever been at a show. I walked out early because of it. 
 

I was still bummed I didn’t get tickets for tonight though. Really glad he’ll be back in May at my favorite venue.

Holy.  Shit.

Jack White was FAR better than I expected he would be.  I spent most of the show in a terrible spot on the top balcony, but managed to get backstage (stage right) for a few songs, and the sound was spectacular, full-range, and LOUD.  Watching his band from 10-20 feet was damn near transformative.  Those dudes can play.

[Tylerocks 2552]

Some people love him, some hate him.

I just happen to be a huge fanboy an love everything he does and have enjoyed everything he's put out since the early 00's

It started out with liking one song/video (Fell in Love w/ a Girl) buying the CD and loving every song...then back buying the 2 previous albums, then everything since.

Dead Weather and Raconteurs are fucking awesome as well if you haven't checked them out.

II have their first album, it's not something I listen to a lot, but I can respect the guy for doing what he does . . . very well.

he really seems like the eric clapton of his generation in this regard. 

[Yankee 39]

Seemed like they way over sold Jack White ( or too many guest list spots). Never seen Mohawk that bad ( including SXSW etc). Got to the show 40m before the opener (and it took 40m to get in) and still ended up having to watch the show from entrance to the inside bar. It was a good show, probably would have been great if you had a decent spot on the floor.

[jimmyjazz 45621]

It was borderline criminal how oversold that show was.  Way too many people had no chance of seeing anything.  My wife found a spot at the point where the stairs start down from the top balcony.  I stood on the step below her and got kicked out by security.  I didn't really care, there was a fill monitor right above us and it completely ruined the net sound because it was delayed from the stage.  I just wandered around the club for a while before finding my kid and going backstage.

[4th&Five 41477]

i assume the capacity of a venue is based on square footage but the problem at mohawk is you can only see the stage from like half (being generous) of the venue.

yeah, the capacity is 900.  the floor is probably 400 max. and the upper balconies are probably 100 or so total on the rails.  we got there about 6:00 because I told my friend if you want a rail and not the floor you better be one of the first 100 in.  

Great show but no encore was weird.  a short encore of 7 nation and/or steady as she goes would have been nice.  new songs are good old school Jack.  he only played about 75 minutes.

I'm trying to as well.  I know someone who's on the bill.

I see they'll be back, headlining at The Mohawk on Valentine's Day

[dcar00 14061]

Die Spitz also put on a great show considering they had about 50 square feet to work with.

If you go don't miss Farmer's Wife.  That was my daughter's original band (then called Sludge) and they are really on the rise.

The perils of the support act.  They're used to it.

That looks pretty cool.  There is nothing I found on their website or socials that mention it at all.  We might go down and check it out after the Texas game.

[jimmyjazz 45621]

Crazy, a free show with Steve Earle, Charlie Sexton, Marcia Ball, Terry Allen?  Might swing by.

Iron Maiden in SA on Sun seems interesting. Never seen them.  Recommend?

Highly recommend.   I saw two of their shows on this tour.  The set list leans heavily on the albums “Somewhere in Time” and their most recent album “Senjutsu.”   I enjoyed it a lot more second time knowing what to expect.
