Product Description
The Raconteurs were formed in 2005 by Jack White of The White Stripes, acclaimed solo artist Brendan Benson and drummer Patrick Keeler and bassist Jack Lawrence from The Greenhornes. Their debut album Broken Boy Soldiers charted at No.2 in the UK and follow up Consolers Of The Lonely went in at No.8. Both albums were also Top 10 in the USA. This performance from Montreux in 2008 was part of the tour in support of their second album. The setlist is split between songs from the two albums and includes covers of Terry Reid s Rich Kid Blues and the old Charley Jordan track Keep It Clean . This is rough, tough rock n roll with great tunes and even better guitar hooks performed by an outstanding live band. 1) Consoler Of The Lonely 2) Hold Up 3) You Don t Understand Me 4) Top Yourself 5) Old Enough 6) Keep It Clean 7) Intimate Secretary 8) Level 9) Steady, As She Goes 10) The Switch And The Spur 11) Rich Kid Blues 12) Blue Veins 13) Many Shades Of Black 14) Broken Boy Soldier 15) Salute Your Solution 16) Carolina Drama

The Raconteurs really know how to rock with a super tight rhythm section.

I saw The Raconteurs live at the Eden Project in 2008 which is the same year as this wonderful Montrenx concert. In fact the track listing looks to be same which has most of my favourite songs of theirs from their two albums. The live show starts off with the song "Consoler Of The Lonely" which is the title track from their second album and it really shows what a fantastic rhythm section The Raconteurs have. Jack White's guitar playing really kicks butt on the excellent song "Blue Veins" from their first album.
The dvd is in 5.1 dolby surround sound and is "region 0" which means it should play on any dvd player part from my PS2 which I have set up to my hi-fi. Lucky for me my PC has Cambridge SoundWorks speakers which includes a small sub-woofer. Other great tracks include You Don't Understand Me, Old Enough, Level, Steady As She Goes, The Switch And The Spur, Many Shades Of Black, Broken Boy Soldier and the brilliant story of Carolina Drama which they end the show with.
The only track that I was a bit sad they missed out is "These Stones Will Shout" which is a Led Zeppelin style song with it's acoustic guitar beginning then about half way through it rocks out in epic style and could have been a real highlight of the show especially if Jack White went to town on it. Nevermind this is a superb show of The Raconteurs which has fantastic sound and picture quality which runs for 100 mins approx.

This is exactly what was expected from The Raconteurs. Good rock/blues music live and a good crowd who can appreciate it. A concert is a sharing experience and everyone participates in it, as Jack White usually says. And this crowd was really great in that aspect.
I really wanted a DVD of them for a long time. You have got to love this! :)
