Every show coming to town lately seems to go to the Armory, and I’m totally cool with that. That place might be one of the coolest venues (close tie with the Palace) to open back. This trend of re purposing old abandoned buildings seems to be paying off! I have 3 more shows there in the next couple of months! I also learned a super cool trick about the place, but that’s not something I am going to share.
Jack White put on a sweet show. I have been to shows before where security was pretty hardcore about making sure people didn’t use their phones, but this show went to the next level. When you walked up, they put your phone into this pouch that was sealed with one of those tags you see on department store clothes. They had designated areas you could go get you phone case unlocked to use it, but it was no where near the show.
As a result, we got kind of a neat little extra. About half way through the show, Jack walked off stage and came back out with his kids. He told the crowd that since there was no cameras, he was cool with doing this. It was his son’s birthday the next day so he got everyone to sing him happy birthday.
They played some deep cuts, the hits, a Beck cover and really everything you would of wanted to hear. It got a little jammy a couple times, but I dig artists putting their own twists on live stuff! I would see him again! Really cool show Poster Art as well!
