It was my first, and so far only time seeing The Raconteurs live and I wasn't disappointed - but to add to my excitement before the gig I saw that Concert Live were producing a live CD of the show - I said to my friend I was going to get one and he said "not to bother - they're usually rubbish". Well he was wrong and I was right to get one. Its got good sound quality not too much audience volume either which can sometimes be annoying. You can hear an early incarnation of "Five on the five" as well - although I didn't know it was called that until their second album came out. Jack White as you know always picks unusual songs to sing as cover versions - The band played Nancy Sinatra's "Bang Bang" Listen out for it - 9 minutes of Jack baring his tortured soul!
