So, I have been to see many performers live over the years, and there are some where you leave saying "WOW! That was such an awesome show, with all the flashing lights and production. It was enormous!" (that's what she said...)
Then, there are some where you say "Jeez, that was so not worth the money I paid. They were miming the words and were out of time and the production was rubbish. Worst concert EVER!"
However, these were not the experiences I had when I saw the talented Mr Jack White. Mostly famous as being half of the highly reputable duo, The White Stripes.
He just had this presence about him, where even when people who paid good money to see him, can't sit down for about 2.5 hours and hear him play and enjoy themselves. No, they have to stand and get themselves alcohol every 5 seconds and decide to block people's view of the stage. Yes, this was my case, but when I did manage to see Mr White, he had this presence inwhich everything that was just described to you, goes away or you don't notice it that much, because he has you in his musical web and you are left feeling honoured to have seen this musically talented genius.
For those who have not heard of him, here's his latest solo track;
Freedom At 21
I saw him at Hordern Pavilion and the whole stage was magnificent. He has made his album different shades of blue and so that is what the stage was colour coded as. Even his band members were wearing blue suits. They looked very hip!
